fix: resolve stale lock and same-instance write contention (#622, #623)

[jlin53882]

Summary

Fix two related lock issues:

1. [BUG] Windows: stale .memory-write.lock not released, blocks smart-extractor writes #622: Stale .memory-write.lock not released, blocking writes
2. [BUG] Same-instance concurrent writes竞争 lock，导致 Lock file is already being held #623: Same-instance concurrent writes competing for lock

Changes

store.ts

1. Add updateQueue for intra-instance write serialization

   • Prevents multiple writes within the same MemoryStore instance from competing for the file lock

2. Use lockfilePath option with lock(dbPath)

   • Lock the database directory directly instead of the lock file
   • Specify lock file location via lockfilePath

3. Proactive stale lock cleanup

   • Automatically clears lock artifacts older than 5 minutes
   • Fallback for legacy artifacts that proper-lockfile's built-in stale mechanism may miss

4. Remove nested runSerializedUpdate in update()

   • The nested call caused deadlock because both used the same updateQueue
   • runWithFileLock already provides sufficient serialization

New Tests

• test/lock-recovery.test.mjs: Tests for stale lock recovery
• test/store-write-queue.test.mjs: Tests for intra-instance write serialization

Test Results

lock-recovery.test.mjs: 4 pass, 1 skip
store-write-queue.test.mjs: 3 pass

Why Both Issues Must Be Merged Together

If only #622 is merged without #623:

• Same-instance concurrent writes can still compete for lock
• May cause intermittent "Lock file is already being held" errors

If only #623 is merged without #622:

• Stale locks from crashes may persist permanently
• Cross-session lock contention remains unresolved

Both fixes are required for complete resolution.

💡 Codex Review

memory-lancedb-pro/test/store-write-queue.test.mjs

Line 1 in db95602

// test/store-write-queue.test.mjs

Re-encode newly added JS modules as UTF-8

This file (and the other files in this commit) was committed as UTF-16LE with NUL bytes, so Node’s ESM parser throws SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token at the first character (for example, running node --test test/store-write-queue.test.mjs fails immediately before any test logic runs). In practice this makes the added tests non-runnable and risks breaking tooling that expects UTF-8 source files.
