- PR #138064: fix(checkpoints): reclaim deferred prune before checking size

Two fix PRs address reclaiming deferred prune or pending gc before judging whether the checkpoint store is over its size cap. A related bug report describes an over-cap store reducing every project to one snapshot, ignoring max_snapshots and affecting /rollback; the members suggest these are connected, though the exact relationship is not confirmed here.
