JesseMarkowitz 04191eed8c tools: analyze whether media loss is age-based
"Do I have to export within N days?" is answerable from the exports
already on disk — the renderer records every image's outcome inline
(![source](media/…) when saved, a placeholder when not) and the
conversation date is in the filename. Group by month and source and the
hypotheses separate: a clean old/new cutoff means expiry, user_upload
dying at an age model_generated survives means the source matters, and
losses scattered through months that otherwise downloaded fine means
neither.

Offline, no token, no API calls.

"""Offline: is the media loss age-based, source-based, or neither?
Answers the question the 403s raised — do I have to export within N days? —
from the exports already on disk. No API calls, no token, nothing to expire.
It works because the renderer records the outcome of every image in the
Markdown itself:
![user_upload](media/file_x.png) ← downloaded, still alive
> 🖼️ **Image attached** — `sediment://file_y`
(user_upload, content not preserved…) ← dead or never fetched
and the conversation's date is in its filename (YYYY-MM-DD_slug_id.md). So
grouping outcomes by month and by source distinguishes the hypotheses:
* Age-based expiry → old months all-dead, recent months all-alive, with a
clean cutoff between them.
* Source-based → user_upload dies while model_generated survives at
the same age.
* Neither → deaths scattered across months, or concentrated in a
few conversations while their neighbours survive.
