feat(backup): encrypted on-site DB backup engine + local target

The SQLite DB is the signed append-only ledger, so a disk failure / stolen or
destroyed PC means total revenue-history loss (open-question #5). This is the first
slice of the backup-recovery design: the engine + a local/mounted target + a daily
timer + a manual route.

Engine (apps/server/src/backup.ts):
- Consistent online copy of the live WAL DB via better-sqlite3's native .backup()
  (not a raw file copy, which can capture a torn WAL) — the restored copy is a
  byte-identical, queryable DB.
- AES-256-GCM with a scrypt-derived key from BACKUP_KEY; self-describing header
  (magic|version|salt|iv|...|authTag) so a restore tool needs only the key + file.
  Zero new dependencies (Node crypto).
- The plaintext intermediate is kept in scratch (not the removable/network target)
  and wiped in a finally, success or fail.
- Retention: keep-last-N + one-per-day within N days.

Wiring:
- BackupService (env config, single in-flight guard, last-success/last-error).
- routes/backup.ts: GET /api/backup/status (backup:read), POST /api/backup/run
  (backup:create), 409 when unconfigured. No restore route — restore is an
  out-of-band runbook action on a fresh appliance, not a console call.
- New  permission resource in @parking/shared.
- server.ts: an unref'd daily timer, a no-op until BACKUP_TARGET_DIR + BACKUP_KEY
  are set, deliberately not run at startup (a just-power-cut booth shouldn't write
  to a possibly-unmounted disk).
- openRawDb() added to @parking/db/testing (open a file without migrating, for
  restore-verification tests).

BACKUP_KEY is deliberately SEPARATE from EVENT_SIGNING_KEY (independent rotation;
backups travel, the signing key shouldn't). SMB/NFS work as mount paths; SFTP +
admin UI + restore runbook are deferred slices. Tests: round-trip byte-identical,
GCM tamper/wrong-key fail, short-key rejected, scratch cleaned, route auth/RBAC +
409. build/lint/test green (212 server tests). Wiki + open-question #5 updated.

## As-built (2026-06-29) — engine + local/mounted target
The first slice is **built and tested**: the backup **engine + a local/mounted target + the daily
timer + the manual route**. What landed:
- **`apps/server/src/backup.ts`** — the engine. Consistent online copy via better-sqlite3's native
`.backup()` (a transactionally-consistent snapshot of the live WAL DB — **not** a raw file copy),
then **AES-256-GCM** encryption with a **scrypt-derived** key from `BACKUP_KEY`. Self-describing
header (`magic | version | salt | iv | … | authTag`) so a restore tool needs only the key + the file
— **zero new dependencies** (Node `crypto`). The plaintext intermediate is written to **scratch**
(not the removable/network target) and **wiped in a `finally`**, success or fail. Retention =
**keep-last-N + one-per-day-within-N-days** (`pruneOldBackups`). Tested: round-trip decrypts to a
**byte-identical, queryable DB**; a flipped byte or wrong key **fails GCM auth**; short key rejected;
scratch plaintext always removed.
- **`backup-service.ts`** — resolves config from env (`BACKUP_TARGET_DIR`, `BACKUP_KEY`,
`BACKUP_KEEP_LAST`, `BACKUP_KEEP_DAILY_DAYS`), **serializes** concurrent runs (single in-flight
guard), records last-success / last-error for the UI.
- **`routes/backup.ts`** — `GET /api/backup/status` (`backup:read`) + `POST /api/backup/run`
(`backup:create`); a clean **409 `backup_not_configured`** when unset. New `backup` permission
resource (`backup:read/update/create`) in `@parking/shared`. **No restore route** — out-of-band by
design.
- **`server.ts`** — an **unref'd daily timer** (`backupService.runScheduled`), a **no-op until
configured**, and **deliberately NOT run at startup** (a just-power-cut booth shouldn't write to a
possibly-unmounted disk; the daily cadence + the manual button cover it).
- Env documented in `apps/server/.env.example` (with the escrow + separate-key notes).
**SMB/NFS already work** — they're just a mounted path under `BACKUP_TARGET_DIR`. **Deferred to
follow-up slices:** an **SFTP** target, the **admin UI** (status panel + "Back up now" button + i18n),
and a **restore runbook / CLI**.
## Status
Design settled 2026-06-29; **not yet built**. Resolves the *design* half of [[open-questions]] #5
(implementation pending), and records the key-custody stance that bears on #6 (signing stays
decoupled from the TPM) and #10 (snapshots bloat backups → future exclude toggle). See
