kshitijk4poor 58d8e25e67 fix(agent): make compression lock-lease refresher tolerate transient DB blips
Follow-up hardening on the salvaged #54465 backoff persistence work.

The lease refresher's loop treated ANY falsy refresh as a permanent stop
(`if not refreshed: break`), conflating two distinct cases:
  - genuine lost-ownership (rowcount 0) — correct to stop, and
  - a one-off transient DB error (write contention that escapes
    _execute_write's retry budget) — which returned False identically.

A single transient blip therefore killed the lease for the rest of a
multi-minute compression call, silently reintroducing the exact 300s-TTL <
~361s-call expiry wedge the PR set out to fix.

Changes:
- _CompressionLockLeaseRefresher._run now tolerates a bounded run of
  consecutive failures (_MAX_CONSECUTIVE_REFRESH_FAILURES = 3) before giving
  up the lease; a recovered tick resets the counter. Worst-case extra hold is
  cap * refresh_interval, still bounded by the acquirer's TTL.
- Replace the two remaining silent `except Exception: pass` arms in the
  compression-failure-cooldown persist/clear helpers with debug logging, for
  parity with their sqlite3.Error sibling arms (a non-sqlite bug was invisible).
- Document the join(timeout=1.0) quiesce bound in stop().
- Add 3 regression tests: single-blip tolerance, persistent-failure stop at the
  cap, and refresh-raising tolerance.
