fix: preserve operation outcomes during plug-in shutdown

Keep API logging callable after display cleanup by forwarding late messages to the console. Abort conflict-check admission and pending dispatch, and propagate cancellation to waiters.

Let started data operations follow their existing success and failure paths without delaying database close. Verify repeated shutdown, instance isolation, and unload/reload in unit, PouchDB, and real Obsidian tests.

 This proves in real Obsidian the plug-in behaviour shared by supported platforms, including the encrypted bidirectional round-trip and protection against a stale client restoring the old remote Seed. It does not verify iPadOS-specific background or reconnect lifecycle behaviour, and it does not count as Android device evidence. The workflow remains outside `test:e2e:obsidian:local-suite` because it is a focused release-acceptance check.
 
-`test:e2e:obsidian:conflict-dialog-policy` creates three real local revision leaves without a remote service and opens the pairwise merge dialogue in Obsidian. It verifies the three-version count, requires the four decision buttons to be stacked vertically, concatenates the displayed pair as a child of the displayed winner, confirms that the untouched leaf remains as one conflict, postpones that remaining pair, restarts the same isolated Vault and profile, and confirms that only the two current versions are reconstructed. It also verifies that an ordinary repeated conflict check does not reopen a postponed dialogue, that **Resolve if conflicted.** explicitly reopens it, and that the active editor retains the appropriate unresolved-conflict warning. The scenario then invokes the same Commonlib consumer boundary used for an incoming replicated document and checks that a postponed warning disappears, an open stale dialogue closes, and the conflict-processing queue completes even when the dialogue closes immediately. This isolates the Obsidian UI contract from transport and second-device setup. The fixture owns one temporary Vault and profile, and the session runner stops Obsidian before removing them.

This isolates the Obsidian UI contract from transport and second-device setup. The fixture owns one temporary Vault and profile, and the session runner stops Obsidian before removing them.

+
+`test:e2e:obsidian:log-lifecycle` delays the local database close and tests both successful and failed shutdown. It verifies that logs remain available during shutdown, that later logs go to the console after display subscriptions are released, and that logs from the previous instance do not reach the reloaded instance. It uses an isolated Vault and profile without a remote service.
 
 `test:e2e:obsidian:revision-repair` creates an ordinary healthy logical deletion and two current leaf revisions in a temporary real Obsidian Vault, then removes a chunk used only by the non-winning revision. It proves that automatic conflict checking does not discard the unreadable branch, and that a healthy logical deletion with no Vault file is neither reported nor retained as Vault provenance. **Inspect conflicts and file/database differences** must show the winner and conflict separately, identify the exact unreadable revision and missing chunk, show the compact `Δsize` and `Δtime` diagnostics, and expose a wrench menu with the appropriate actions for each branch. The scenario opens the existing comparison dialogue in read-only mode, applies the readable winner to the Vault, shows the compact matching-winner and remaining-conflict status, records the exact winner as Vault provenance without creating a child, and confirms that retrying the unreadable branch leaves the revision tree unchanged. It then verifies both the cancellation path and the explicit confirmation path for discarding only that selected current branch, requires the winner and its Vault provenance to remain unchanged, and captures the repair card, a 360-pixel-wide reflow check, the matching-winner status, both revision menus, and the read-only comparison. The narrow capture checks responsive layout, not a mobile operating-system lifecycle. The scenario uses no remote service; a retry is therefore expected to remain unreadable unless the chunk is already available locally.
