John O'Keefe 6f37be59fc feat(issues): retry a processing issue through the individual scanner
POST /api/libraries/:id/issues/:issueId/retry (admin, family-lens gated
via the existing gateIssue) re-runs the work that produced an open issue
— deliberately NOT a library-wide rescan. Two shapes mirror the two
ledger entry kinds:

- item-backed issues rescan their media item through the book-detail
  RescanMediaItem mechanism (self-resolving folders, multi-file
  audiobook routing, write-after-success guards) and then close the
  issue (RetryMediaItemIssue);
- row-less import_failed issues re-import the single file through the
  watcher's standalone processMediaFile path (RetryFailedImport: folders
  resolved RescanMediaItem-style so paths stay library-root-relative),
  whose create-path self-heal plus an explicit path resolve closes the
  issue even when the content was already imported by a prior attempt.

Failures return the REAL underlying error so the UI can show why the
issue still exists; a vanished file is a 409 (ErrRetryFileMissing);
already-resolved issues reject re-retry.

Docs + bruno mirrors regenerated for the new route (the generator's seq
renumbering touches three unrelated bruno files as fallout; openapi
gains the path and the date bump), and the docs schema registry gains
the retry entry so TestDocsMatchRoutes passes.

# Retry Processing Issue
Re-runs the work that produced an open issue through the individual
scanner — deliberately NOT a library-wide rescan. Two shapes:
- **Item-backed issues** (media item exists): the item is rescanned via
the same mechanism as the book-detail Rescan action — self-resolving
folders, multi-file audiobook routing, write-after-success guards.
- **Row-less `import_failed` issues** (no media item): the single file
is re-imported through the scanner's standalone per-file path.
On success the issue is closed. On failure the response carries the REAL
error (e.g. the underlying SQL failure), so the UI can show why the issue
still exists. The issue's library must be in the requester's visible set.
## Example response
```json example-response
{
"success": true,
"message": "File imported; issue resolved"
}
```
## Errors
| Status | Body | When |
| ------ | ---- | ---- |
| 400 | `{"error": "Invalid issue ID"}` | malformed path param |
| 403 | — | issue's library not in requester's visible set |
| 404 | `{"error": "Issue not found"}` | no such issue |
| 409 | `{"error": "Issue is already resolved"}` / `{"error": "media file not found on disk: …"}` | nothing to retry, or the file vanished |
| 500 | `{"error": "…"}` | the retried work failed — body carries the underlying error |
