Research direction

Start by reproducing the InfluxDB 3.8 core restart and compare the data files with what is loaded in the catalog afterward. Investigate why data older than 30 days is omitted from the catalog; done means a restart preserves and reloads that data, with the behavior verified against the reported case.
