Restore

Restore file to captured state

Every captured change carries its SHA-256-addressed content in BLOB_STORE. Restoring writes that content back to the original path — current file gets backed up to <path>.drift_restore_backup_<epoch> before overwrite.

Preflight compile-check ?

perl compiles cleanly — restore is safe to proceed.
