fix(webhook): extract links for incremental push syncs (#2849)

GitHub webhook + sync-trigger 'sync' jobs never opted into extraction:
the standalone sync handler defaults noExtract to TRUE, so webhook-
imported pages advanced the source bookmark with links_extracted_at
unstamped — and nothing behind a standalone job ever swept them (the
autopilot cycle's extract phase only walks that cycle's changedSlugs).

Fix, both halves of the issue:
- webhook + sync-trigger payloads pass noExtract:false so normal
  incremental pushes get sync's inline link/timeline extraction.
- >100-file deferral branch: performSync surfaces extractDeferred, and
  the sync job handler queues a source-scoped extract{stale:true}
  follow-up job (idempotent sweep; extract handler gains a stale mode
  backed by the same extractStaleFromDB core as `gbrain extract --stale`).

Tests: new sync-large-deferral-extract.serial.test.ts drives a real
101-file incremental sync end-to-end (deferral flag → queued follow-up →
stale sweep recovers links + watermark); webhook payload contract test +
sync-trigger noExtract assertion salvaged from #2850.

Fixes #2849
Takeover of #2850
