Artifact-level accounting — Maven: implement ADR-007's per-version size_bytes (hosted and remote)
## Context
`docs/adr/007_database_schema.md` defines artifact-level storage accounting in full — sections
`#### Artifact-level storage accounting` and `#### Artifact-level storage accounting reconciliation`.
S22 excludes this layer and hands it to the format slices; #441 defers the per-format work and asks
for one issue per format. This is the Maven issue.
Maven is the emptiest of the three: **no artifact-level accounting column exists at all** on the
hosted tables, and the one remote column that exists has no writer anywhere in the tree.
## What exists today
| Column | ADR-007 | Schema | Writer |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `maven_versions.size_bytes` | buffered counter, with a `(namespace_id, maven_package_id, size_bytes DESC) WHERE soft_deleted_at IS NULL` index | **does not exist** | — |
| `maven_remote_versions.size_bytes` | same | exists (`internal/datastore/migrations/sql/20260731130000_create_maven_remote_versions.sql:23`), and S14 declares it a buffered counter with the size-ordered index | **no store method, no caller** — the column stays `0` and its DESC index orders nothing |
| `maven_packages` / `maven_files` counters | none declared | none | — |
`maven_files` has no size column by design (`internal/datastore/maven_files.go:54`: "maven_files has
no size column, so Size joins from blob_storage_blobs"), so version size is read-derived today.
ADR-007 benchmarks that at 58 ms for a top-50-by-size page against 0.06 ms for the indexed column,
with the deduplicated derive-at-read variant at ~190 ms.
S10 enumerates every buffered column it emits (`repositories.downloads_count`, `artifacts_count`,
`size_bytes`, `last_updated_at`, `maven_packages.last_downloaded_at`, `maven_versions.last_downloaded_at`)
and omits `maven_versions.size_bytes` entirely, so no spec currently emits it.
## Work
1. Add `maven_versions.size_bytes bigint NOT NULL DEFAULT 0` and the `size_bytes DESC` partial index.
Backfill by set-based recompute grouped by version.
1. Maintain it per ADR-007: increment when a `blob_sha256` first attaches to the version, decrement
when GC hard-deletes the last attachment of that `sha256` within the version, deduplicated within
the version. Soft-delete and restore are no-ops for the counter.
1. Emit from a post-commit site on the upload path. The size is already computed there and dropped:
`internal/format/maven/upload.go:541` passes it to `BumpRepoCounters`, whose datastore
implementation (`internal/datastore/maven_repositories.go:321`) builds the `UPDATE` and discards
it with `_ =`. S22 retires that repository-scoped stub; this issue must not depend on it.
1. Add a writer for `maven_remote_versions.size_bytes` on the cache-fill path, or remove the column
and its index. npm's remote twin at least has a store method (`AddNpmRemoteVersionSizeBytes`);
Maven has nothing, so decide the two together.
1. Implement ADR-007's artifact-level reconciliation for Maven: distinct `blob_sha256` from
`maven_files` joined to `blob_storage_blobs_by_namespace` (created by S22's migration), scoped to
one `maven_version_id`. ADR-007 puts per-version cardinality at 4-15 files and the recompute at
~0.6 ms.
1. Add the total `maven_files (namespace_id, maven_version_id)` index that recompute needs. The
existing uniques are partial on `soft_deleted_at IS NULL` and split on `maven_version_id`
null-ness, so the item-1 backfill and the per-version recompute otherwise scan the namespace's
partition through `index_maven_files_on_ns_id_blob_sha256`. npm's same walk earned
`index_npm_files_on_ns_id_ver_id`. S17 Phase 8 accepted the namespace-bounded scan for its rare
statistics reads. This issue's write-path recompute should not inherit it.
1. Correct S10's buffered-column enumeration to include `maven_versions.size_bytes`.
1. Serialize the version size through S17 once the column exists.
## Out of scope
`maven_packages.last_downloaded_at` and `maven_versions.last_downloaded_at` — S18 owns those, and
`MavenPackageStore.BumpAccessTimestamps` (`internal/datastore/maven_packages.go:255`) is its dead
stub, building two `UPDATE`s and discarding them. Named here only so the boundary is explicit.
## Decisions required
- **Buffered or in-transaction** maintenance. ADR-007 says buffered; there is no `bufferedUpdate`
equivalent in the Maven slice (npm has one, Maven substitutes inert stubs), so a Maven
implementation either builds a mechanism or writes in-transaction with the file rows. Maven has no
artifact-level reconciliation implemented to fall back on either way.
- **Wire or drop** `maven_remote_versions.size_bytes` (item 4).
## Done when
- `maven_versions.size_bytes` is correct after upload, redeploy of an existing version, and file
removal, and matches the reconciliation recompute for a seeded version.
- `maven_remote_versions.size_bytes` is either maintained on cache fill or removed with its index.
- ADR-007's decrement rule has a GC-side emitter, or the dependency on S28 is recorded here.
Refines #441.

> 🤖 **Triage note (automated):** This issue has been reviewed and classified as **`type::feature`**.
>
> **Reasoning:** This issue requests the implementation of net-new functionality — specifically, adding the `maven_versions.size_bytes` accounting column (which does not yet exist), wiring up a writer for `maven_remote_versions.size_bytes`, implementing ADR-007's artifact-level reconciliation for Maven, and serialising the version size through the API. None of these are regressions or broken behaviour; they are new capabilities being built out for the Maven format slice.
