- retire() read native meta with wpdb::get_col(), which (via get_var())
returns null for an empty string, so a flat '' written back as '' was
counted as a mismatch and blocked the retirement. It now reads raw rows
with get_results().
- The integration test wpdb stub's get_var() / get_col() now read '' as
null like the real wpdb, so tests see WordPress behaviour.
- Found writing back the sso group on dev21 / dev22 (picture_url = '').

- TMDO_Native_Restorer::run() takes an optional group; the CLI gains
`bridge-restore-native <entity> --group=<g>`.
- New retire(): once native meta holds every non-NULL value of a group's
flat table (checked against the persisted field definitions), forget
its registry_meta row and rename the table to <table>_retired_<Ymd>, so
orphan restore no longer routes its keys to the flat table. Refused
while a plugin still registers the group or any value differs.
CLI: `--group=<g> --retire`.
- For retiring the user `sso` group (SSO AddOn deprecation).
