Renewed analytics format. The hide flag moves to client, and we still track but hide more robustly, to avoid noise from admins checking out their own site.

the client still pings but adds `hide=1`. The activity is recorded as
usual (navigations and all), but the `hide` flag is set on the **client
record** — so it covers everything that client ever did: visits and
crawler hits from before the login included. Hidden clients never appear
in the viewer payload: `Store.display()` drops their visits, crawler
hits, abuse hits and metadata, and computes every aggregate (site visits,
page views, transitions) from the visible visits only, so nothing needs
to be reversed or redacted. Pending crawler hits from a hidden client
are discarded when they expire, so admin browsing never lands in the

## Aggregates
Aggregates are **not stored**; they are computed at display time by
