Thore CimbalandClaude Opus 5 9a106151f1 monitoring: a read error must not erase the CVE timeline (management #0082)
The exporter pruned first_seen on every scrape, keeping only what it had just
seen. A report that failed to parse - a file being written, a brief I/O error -
was skipped by a silent `continue`, so its findings never entered seen_keys and
their first-seen timestamps were deleted for good. Nothing reported it, and
"first seen" simply restarted at now.

Pruning is now limited to targets whose report was actually read this round.
Proven both ways against a throwaway results directory rather than by reasoning:
make one report unreadable and its entry survives while read_errors counts 1; fix
the other report but drop its finding and that entry is pruned as before. The
distinction is the point - the old behaviour was not too aggressive, it was
indiscriminate.

Two numbers now leave the exporter: trivy_reports_total and
trivy_report_read_errors, with alerts on both. They cover what TrivyScanStale
cannot reach by construction - a target that never produced a report has no series
for time() to compare against, so it stays quiet no matter how long it has been
broken.
