patch

Remove the legacy session archive migration from session daemon startup. Setting PI_WEB_DATA_DIR only selects where PI WEB-managed state lives; it never moves or copies existing state, and each data directory is independent.

You are only affected if you have session archives created before July 2026 in the default ~/.pi-web data directory and you newly set a custom PI_WEB_DATA_DIR. To carry those archives over, stop PI WEB, then copy archived-sessions.json and the archived-sessions/ directory from the old data directory into the new one.
