Merge pull request 'Release 2026.9.28' (#71) from release-2026.9.28 into main

Legal holds (#70): a hold on people, groups, domains, tenants or the
whole server keeps everything it covers from being destroyed, by anyone,
until it's released; deleted accounts keep their data. Audit records
name accounts by their full address and holds by their case name. The
daily clean-up of expired archived items works again.

Prepared Explain answers relabeled for this release; no setting changed
since 2026.9.27.2, so all 706 carry over.

+//! The audit log's storage (AU-2, AU-3, AU-6, AU-7), in the fork's own
+//! subspace (`store::SUBSPACE_INBUXA`). Every key starts with `L`, then one
+//! byte for the kind:
+//!
+//! - `e` + node + seq: one entry of that node's chain, as JSON. An entry is
+//!   an event, or the outcome of an event written before its change was
+//!   tried. Each holds the SHA-256 of the entry before it on the same node.
+//! - `t` + time + node + seq: the time index of events, for queries.
+//! - `o` + node + seq: the seq of an event's outcome entry.
+//! - `h` + node: the chain's head: that entry's hash, then its seq as the
+//!   last eight bytes, which each append asserts, so two writers can never
+//!   both add the same seq.
+//! - `f` + node: where the chain starts after purging, and the hash the
+//!   first kept entry names.
+//! - `s`: the settings (`keepFor`).
+//!
+//! Numbers are big-endian, so keys sort in time and chain order. Each node
+//! writes only its own chain, so nodes never contend for a key; nothing about
+//! a chain is kept in memory, so a node restarted or rebuilt carries on
+//! from what is stored.

+//! Account lock with delegation (audit-hold-lock spec, AL-1 to AL-12).
+//!
+//! A locked account keeps receiving mail but can't sign in, by any means,
+//! and sends nothing on its own. Delegates open it as a separate account,
+//! through real ACL grants on its containers (the sharing every protocol
+//! already honors), at a level the administrator chose.
+//!
+//! Kept in the fork's subspace (`store::SUBSPACE_INBUXA`). Every key starts
+//! with `K`, then one byte for the kind:
+//!
+//! - `l` + account: the lock, as JSON.
+//! - `d` + delegate + account: an index, so a delegate's access token can
+//!   find the accounts delegated to it with one scan.
+//!
+//! Numbers are big-endian. Nothing is cached in memory: the access token is
+//! the cache, built from these keys and invalidated on every change.
