[P3][docs] Document backup and restore procedure for WAL files #42

Description

@cevheri

Summary

No export/dump CLI command and no documented backup story. File-copy backup is valid for WAL-is-database model but never stated for operators.

Audit ID: Section 4 Low — Wave 3
Location: docs/CLI.md:41

Fix

Document in docs/CLI.md and/or README:

  • Consistent backup = copy .libredb file while no writer has it open (or use kernel lock / CLI lock guidance).
  • Restore = copy back + open().
  • Optional future: libredb export JSON — out of scope unless small.

Acceptance criteria

  • Backup/restore procedure documented.
  • Warn against copying while live writer active (link B4).
  • No changeset (docs).
