Leave removed copies out of report and trees (closes #173)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s

A deleted duplicate stayed in both reports until a scan covered it, and
a missing scan operand is a fatal error. report now runs lstat on each
path of a possible duplicate group and drops paths that are gone; trees
does the same for the directory at the top of each copy, never the
files inside. A group left with one copy is not reported. Only "does not
exist" and "not a directory" count as gone, so a permission error keeps
the copy for an unprivileged user. README says a stale report is fixed
by scanning again.

- `report` and `trees` leave out a copy that was deleted after the scan. Each
checks only the copy itself with `lstat`: the file, or the directory at the
top of a tree. A group left with one copy is not reported. A missing `scan`
operand is still a fatal error (2026-11-11,

- `report` and `trees` leave out empty files. `report` writes no group of size
0, and `trees` writes no group whose trees hold 0 bytes. An empty file still
counts toward a tree's digest (2026-11-11,
