Add phase field to file_status JSON output (start/end lifecycle events)

[YK-03]

Description

This PR adds an optional "phase" field to "type": "file_status" JSON output to indicate lifecycle stages of file processing.

• "phase": "start" is emitted when processing of a file begins
• "phase": "end" is emitted for final file status events (default if not explicitly provided)

Implementation details

• JSON construction remains centralized in Archiver.print_file_status
• START events are emitted in CreateMixIn._process_any before dispatching to fso.process_*
• START emission is guarded with retry == 0 to avoid duplicate events
• START is only emitted for valid, processable file types (no sockets, doors, ports, or unknown types)
• END events reuse existing call sites, with "phase" defaulting to "end"

Behavior

JSON mode (--log-json --list)

• Emits paired start/end events for each processed file
• No duplicate or orphan events

Non-JSON mode (--list)

• Behavior unchanged
• Logging guarded to avoid None path output

Compatibility

• Fully backward compatible
• Existing fields (type, status, path) unchanged
• "phase" is additive and optional

Had a quick look: this does not look correct:

• for file types where there is basically nothing to do (because they have no content data), it emits start and end.
• for some file types and processing modes (--read-special) where there is a lot to do (processing chunks of content data), it does not emit start/end.

I’ll update the implementation to ensure start and end events are emitted consistently for all files, including --read-special, by wrapping the entire processing lifecycle (including chunk-based processing).

I’ll also add tests to cover these scenarios and ensure consistent behavior.

Hi @ThomasWaldmann,

I've updated the implementation to ensure lifecycle events are emitted only around actual file processing.

• Lifecycle emission is now placed in process_file and process_pipe, wrapping the chunk processing logic.
• This ensures correct coverage for --read-special and other chunk-based paths.
• Lifecycle events are not emitted for trivial or cached files (e.g., when chunks are reused).
• _process_any is no longer involved in lifecycle emission.

Start/end pairing is guaranteed via try/finally, and existing status event behavior remains unchanged.

Please let me know if anything else needs adjustment.
