copytruncate loses log records twice per rotation: everything written
since the tailer's last poll (kept in mail.log.1, but skipped because the
descriptor points at the truncated inode) and whatever lands between the
copy and the truncate (gone for good). Those records carry the final
delivery statuses the send log is reconciled from, so a dropped line
means a row stuck in "queued" — not just a gap in the monitoring view,
as the item previously assumed.
Decision recorded, implementation deferred to its own step.
