S2 + S3 (#142, #143): the two OutputPublisher seams, and where the second one goes

#142 -- openOutputStream refuses two ways and only one was reachable. A
provider that has gone away throws from inside the call, which
`a destination the provider will not open...` already drives. A provider
that is present and declines returns null, and nothing could produce that
on demand. openDestination is the seam; the test asserts the failure names
the destination, which is what separates the `?: error(...)` from an NPE
inside `use`.

#143 -- the sweep's re-read. **The seam the ticket proposed does not reach
it.** Overriding the listing fires before the entries are snapshotted, so
StagingSweep.collectable is handed the new timestamp, the file is never
proposed for deletion, and the guard is never exercised. Measured: with an
entriesIn seam, deleting the guard outright left the test green.

The race is a file that *was* collectable when the snapshot was taken and
is not by the time the delete comes round, so the seam has to sit at the
snapshot. `snapshot(listing)` does, and deleting the guard now reddens the
test.

Three mutations after the move, three red:

  null stream returns silently   null-return test
  null stream via !! instead     null-return test
  sweep deletes unconditionally  race test

OutputPublisher.kt now has no never-executed lines at all. Two partial
branches are left and both are named exemptions rather than gaps:
L216's `getOrNull() ?: false` and L304's `getOrDefault(absoluteFile)` are
the failure arms of a runCatching whose body cannot be made to throw
through any public entry point -- the same shape as the `size >= 0`
exemption recorded in the previous commit.
