audit-3: append-only audit log + strict legacy-prefix rule + anchor cross-check
- verify_audit_chain(): rows with entry_hash IS NULL are only tolerated
  BEFORE the first hashed row (documented legacy prefix). A NULL hash
  AFTER the chain started is tampering and fails verification at that
  row id — previously any NULL row anywhere was silently skipped, so an
  attacker with UPDATE could erase intermediate evidence undetected.
- migration 0004: audit_log becomes append-only. SQLite: BEFORE UPDATE/
  DELETE triggers RAISE(ABORT). Postgres: BEFORE triggers RAISE EXCEPTION.
  Closes the hole for the table owner and direct SQL connections.
- monitor.verify_chain_against_anchors(): compares the chain tail against
  anchors published to Nostr. Explicit statuses: no_anchors (never
  anchored / notes missing on relays), local_only (no fetcher), ok
  (relay note attests the tail or the last local anchor), mismatch.
- tests: NULL-before-genesis ok, NULL-in-middle fails at that id, NULL
  late fails, UPDATE rejected, DELETE rejected, INSERT still allowed,
  no-anchors explicit, local-only explicit, mismatch detected, match ok.
