installer 1.25.0: the off-site tier stops asking to prune (R-191)
gates / gates (push) Successful in 8s

Every weekly off-site run uploaded successfully and then failed the job on a prune
the box's token is deliberately refused — R-89 moved off-site pruning server-side
to ep0 and box tokens stay write-only. The 2026-07-26 'two weeks' ruling was not
reversed; where it is enforced moved, and keep_last: 2 did not follow. Now 0,
which the agent's existing guard already reads as 'never prune from the box'.

Verified read-only on ep0 before changing it: both namespaces have a prune job at
03:30 keep-last 2 that has run every day since 2026-07-27 — 18 tasks, all OK, the
newest keeping exactly two. Without that check this would have traded a weekly
false alarm for unbounded growth.

A gate asserts the offsite tier carries no client-side prune. The local tier is
untouched.

# ── R-191: the OFFSITE tier must not arm a client-side prune ─────────────────────────────────
#
# R-89 moved offsite pruning SERVER-SIDE — ep0 runs a per-namespace prune job and box tokens stay
# write-only, so the box is REFUSED if it asks. When this default was `keep_last: 2` the effect was a
# weekly lie: vzdump uploaded the snapshot, then failed the whole job on the prune, and the operator
# was told the offsite backup had failed when it had succeeded.
#
# The assertion is on the OFFSITE entry only. The local tier's `local_backup_retention` is untouched
# and must stay untouched — it prunes correctly and is allowed to.
