Two changes in the sync orchestrator, both per plan D11/D12:
1. bin/gstack-gbrain-sync.ts: runCodeImport + runMemoryIngest call
localEngineStatus() (shared classifier from lib/gbrain-local-status.ts).
When status is not 'ok', return a SKIP stage result with a clear reason
instead of crashing with "source registration failed: gbrain not
configured". Brain-sync stage runs regardless — it doesn't depend on
local engine. dry-run preview path is gated above the check so it
continues to show would-do steps even when the engine is broken.
2. bin/gstack-memory-ingest.ts: when gbrain MCP is registered as
remote-http (Path 4), persist staged transcripts to
~/.gstack/transcripts/run-<pid>-<ts>/ instead of the ephemeral
~/.gstack/.staging-ingest-<pid>-<ts>/ tmp dir, and SKIP the local
`gbrain import` call entirely. The artifacts pipeline (gstack-brain-sync
push to git, brain admin pulls and indexes) handles routing to the
remote brain. Local PGLite (when present via Step 4.5) stays code-only.
State recording still happens — prepared pages get their mtime+sha256
stamped under remote-http mode so the next /sync-gbrain doesn't
re-stage them. Cleanup is skipped intentionally so the persisted dir
survives until gstack-brain-sync moves it.
Adds test/gbrain-sync-skip.test.ts covering 5 SKIP scenarios (broken-db,
broken-config, no-cli, missing-config, ok pass-through). All 25
sync-related unit tests pass.
