+`coverage_previous_expected_count`是旧覆盖行的expected_count（未知时用null），
+`coverage_expected_count`是独立目录证据支持的整份来源预期数，不能小于已知旧预期数。
+这个例子成功后覆盖统计为预期4、已导入3；文件checkpoint的records_written仍为1。
+刷新相同记录不重复累加。初次导入部分来源可声明previous_count为0、previous_expected_count为null。

+失败会回滚本文件的论文、来源、决定、标签和覆盖变化，保留失败运行记录；更早已提交文件不重放。
+增量模式始终保留partial，不能靠一个小批次推断完整论文集、摘要或公开拒稿覆盖。
