The dream cycle's sync phase throws unconditionally on a legacy
sync.repo_path-anchored default brain dir that was never git init-ed
(predates git-backed sync, or was rsync'd without its .git), failing
every nightly run with no recovery. doctor's sync_freshness/
sync_consolidation checks report "ok" for this exact brain, but only
because they query the sources table (0 rows for a legacy default
brain) — a coincidental false-negative, not a real diagnosis.
Self-heal by git-initializing the dir and capturing the current
on-disk state as the sync baseline, scoped to !opts.sourceId only —
gbrain owns this directory outright, unlike a registered local source
(sources add --path, no --url) which is the user's own external
directory and should keep failing loudly.
