The SQLite cross-check rebuilt entries by id and assumed no gaps, but drafts aren't projected until posted: a draft #8 before a posted #9 made the server refuse to start. Gaps are now held with empty drafts (which no report counts), and a projection that can't be read back counts as drift to heal, not a reason to refuse to start.
