I had disabled the “nuke” because I thought it was working, but when I rebuilt the system this weekend I noticed all the hard links in the junk folder (since they do not take up space, I hadn’t noticed).

At that point (Monday) I deleted all the mail in every Junk folder, so right now I cannot answer this. Mail in the .Junk/cur folder dated back to November, at least.

Looking at mail logs I see “too many” instances of "sieve: pipe action: piped message to program `sa-learn-spam.sh’” and " sieve: left message in mailbox ‘Junk'" (140 thousand this week on my non-list account, where maybe only 50 messages were moved/copied to Junk).

My account has a .active_sieve file. But it makes no mention of Junk.
