fix(gmail-sync): replace in:inbox with -in:sent -in:drafts

Browse Source 
in:inbox matches only messages currently in the Inbox, so it silently
excluded archived mail and everything routed past the inbox by a
label-and-archive filter - exactly the mail matched by the job-search
label Step 3.1 hunts for. The stated intent ("skip sent/drafts") is what
the negative operators express. Failure mode was silent under-detection
that read as "no updates" and left the tracker stale. Review finding F18
(2026-08-19).
