14 — A3: Durable Raft term and vote state (deferred)

What to build

Persist Raft currentTerm, votedFor, and log metadata to disk. In-memory-only term (~26) risks split leadership after tracker restart → duplicate settlement epochs.

Code refs:

• packages/tracker/meshnet_tracker/raft.py — LogEntry.term (~25–27), election state in RaftNode

Acceptance criteria

• Term/vote persisted alongside tracker data dir
• Restart resumes as follower/candidate with monotonic term
• Test: kill leader mid-settlement, restart, no duplicate payout batch

ADR links

• ADR-0019 §3
