fix(hub): stop the maintenance loop racing the tests, and pin _ASSETS

Two defects found while closing out the Search merge, neither of them in
that feature.

The maintenance loop. create_app's lifespan starts cleanup_loop as an
asyncio task, so every test — each entering that lifespan — ran a purge
pass concurrently with its own requests. On SQLite :memory: that is not
merely noisy: the engine uses a StaticPool, one connection for the whole
process, so the request's session and the cleanup task's session
interleave transactions on the same connection. A registration could
commit and then be invisible to the login three lines later, surfacing
as 401 Invalid credentials for an account created moments before, in
roughly one run of test_node_ws_auth.py in four.

The purge itself is not at fault and this is not a production condition.
A passive SQL listener caught the DELETE removing 0 rows, and the INSERT
carrying status='active' — so neither the pending-account mechanism nor
the purge filter is involved, and PostgreSQL gives every session its own
connection. What the fixture removes is the second user of the shared
one. 60 runs of the previously flaky file, 0 failures; reproductions
before the fix landed on attempts 4, 6, 13 and 29 of separate loops, so
a clean run of 60 has about a 1% chance of being luck.

_ASSETS. source-merge.js shipped missing from webapp._ASSETS, the
cache-busting hash's input list — exactly the silent failure docs/apps.md
§4 step 5 warns about: the file changes, the asset URL does not, and a
browser holding the old page keeps the old copy. Harmless this time only
because search-page.js changed in the same commit and is listed, which is
the worst way for it to go unnoticed. Found by re-reading that checklist
for the doc pass, not by any test — so there is a test now, holding
_ASSETS to every .js in static/ (sw.js excepted, unversioned on purpose).
It was the only one missing.

Phase 9 of docs/refactoring-search.md also lands here: mediacenter.md
§10.6, musicbay.md §9b, photos.md §10b, apps.md §2b and step 5.
