Diagnose and fix RFDB data disappearing after compaction, where rfdb-server reports a tiny node count (e.g. "15 nodes") on startup despite manifest_index.json showing hundreds of thousands of nodes and segment files existing on disk. Use when: (1) rfdb-server logs "Default database: N nodes" with N orders of magnitude smaller than recent analysis output, (2) /api/stats returns only the most recent commit's nodes, (3) the issue appears AFTER a compaction event (manifest with l1_node_segments populated and node_segments: []), (4) subsequent commits dropped L1 references. Root cause: ManifestStore::create_manifest() initializes l1_node_segments/l1_edge_segments to Vec::new() instead of cloning from current manifest, so any commit AFTER compaction silently orphans all L1 data even though segment .seg files still exist on disk. Compaction injects L1 fields explicitly after create_manifest, but regular commits do not.
