πŸ”§ fix(uploads): purgeUnreferenced bucket.delete should no-op on already-deleted blobs (race with retention jobs)Β #4018

Description

@PierreBrisorgueil

What β€” extend remove()'s not-found no-op treatment to purgeUnreferenced()'s own bucket.delete() call.

Why β€” a consumer running both the sweep and an independent retention job can race: the other job deletes a blob between the sweep's candidate scan and its delete pass. Today that surfaces as a recurring deleteFailed/error-log entry on every such race β€” exactly the noise class remove()'s no-op path (same file) was built to prevent. Fails closed (nothing wrongly deleted); noise-only.

Scope β€” modules/uploads/repositories/uploads.repository.js purgeUnreferenced(): catch the GridFS not-found error on bucket.delete() β†’ debug log + count as already-gone, continue the pass; genuine bucket failures still surface. One unit test: mid-sweep concurrent deletion β†’ no error log, sweep completes, counts accurate.

Surfaced by post-merge review of #4017 (2026-08-05).
