fix(server): wake chat lifecycle milestones from committed changes (#17606)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Connected chats show safe notices when a run starts, waits,
finishes, or fails.
> - A recurring scan projected these notices even when no eligible work
existed.
> - Eligibility depends on committed run state, conversation lineage,
and current authority.
> - Existing database rows can reconstruct that work after restart.
> - This PR wakes a scoped worker from those writes and removes
lifecycle polling.
> - Native progress events keep their separate existing owner until the
next migration.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The chat maintenance timer repeatedly scanned run lifecycle state. Empty
and settled instances still queried the database. A run-status event
alone cannot replace the scan: prompt receipts, continuation receipts,
identity changes, and restored authority can make a run eligible later.

**What did you expect?**

Committed changes wake projection. Startup reconstructs eligible work. A
completed pass stops until another relevant change arrives. Failed work
retains recovery without scanning settled history forever.

**Steps to reproduce**

Configure an automatic chat endpoint. Finish its work, or leave it
unused. Observe recurring lifecycle projection queries from the chat
maintenance callback.

Stacked on #17592. Related foundation: #15625. This PR owns lifecycle
milestones only.

## What Changed

- Preserve upstream coalesced Cloud membership writes together with
locked membership restoration and its committed chat notification.

- Signal milestone eligibility from the real Slack account-link
transaction.

- Register the lifecycle worker with the existing delivery coordinator.
Remove lifecycle projection from the periodic chat callback. Keep native
progress in a separately named lane and preserve the explicit combined
API.
- Reconstruct company/issue scopes from the existing selector. Drain
bounded batches with company fairness. Retry failures, retain writes
through drain/resume, and disarm settled work.
- Signal from supported run, presentation, interaction, receipt,
lineage, conversation, recovery, and authority writers. Preserve their
transaction ownership, including nested savepoints and uncertain
settlement. No new table is added.
- Preserve provider authorization, authored-final suppression,
responsible-user continuity, deduplication, the 24-hour selection
window, and raw-output restrictions. Keep provider interpretation in its
owner.
- Preserve PostgreSQL timestamp precision in lifecycle pagination.
Rejected submillisecond candidates must not repeat the same page and
starve later notices.
- Document producer coverage and alternate-writer dispositions in
`doc/plans/2026-10-25-chat-run-milestone-sleep-audit.md`.

## Verification

Published head: `1d056f68c5b1005933b9e12de8745bf1c4cbeeca`, targeting
master after #17592 merged at
`7d75ae0569e41786640cf09647ae8849411d2f22`. A normal merge integrates
the actual landed parent. The entire 77-path milestone patch is
binary-identical to the locally verified preparation across that
ancestry reconciliation; both unrelated master paths are preserved. The
four earlier producer/test integration conflicts retain scoped milestone
and voice notices, current onboarding completion admission, and expanded
identity query/read-scope coverage.

- **330 distinct selected cases pass on the verified unchanged patch:**
305 across 14 complete suites (all five milestone worker suites, run
identity, board claim, Cloud provisioning, auth session routes, Cloud
actor authentication, stale-lock recovery, GitHub credentials, project
Git authorization, and app admission wiring), plus 25 selected real chat
producer cases. The remaining 1,590 chat integration cases were skipped,
not passed.
- The real producer cases cover saved milestone discovery, GitHub and
Slack identity changes, account-link rollback/reconfirmation, ordinary
ingress reactivation, post-close action/delivery receipt settlement, all
ten authority-restoration paths including Cloud synchronization, and
changed native review metadata.
- Worker coverage verifies outer commit, rollback, uncertain-write
recovery, restart, bounded batching/fairness, timestamp precision,
retries, drain/resume, and settled SQL quiet. Authorization and existing
publication deduplication remain with their owning services.
- Server production typechecking, build, and module-boundary checks
pass. The tests above were executed separately. Production typechecking
excludes `src/__tests__` and does not replace those runs. Each database
owner uses its own newly created and app-migrated PostgreSQL fixture.
- [Current-parent acceptance and preserved failure
ledger](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/1d056f68c5b1005933b9e12de8745bf1c4cbeeca/doc/plans/2026-10-25-chat-run-milestone-sleep-audit.md#current-parent-integration-and-acceptance-october-28)
records commands, counts, producer scope, conflict dispositions, and
limits. Earlier combined-stack counts and failures keep their original
revision scope; local acceptance does not erase old CI failures.
- No new migration, queue table, dependency, workflow, or shared
scheduler contract is introduced. Parent migration 0397, bounded consent
recovery, voice cleanup/retention repairs, and runner checkpoint
restoration remain present.
- **Exact-head Greptile is 5/5 and all 55 current checks are clean.** No
Ponytail review is present, which is an explicitly authorized
nonblocker; no failing review is waived. Older reviews and parent checks
are not current passes. Actual failing Ponytail findings must be fixed;
an absent/stopped/paused turn without a verdict is an authorized
nonblocker. Active unfinished Ponytail uses its original request/start
timer, with a 25-minute monitor cutoff respecting the user's 30-minute
maximum.
- No complete local repository matrix, live provider tenant, external
alarm, physical host/database suspension, or fleet savings claim is
made. Native progress remains a separate following slice.

## Risks

- A future eligibility writer must notify the existing projection
boundary. Independent SQL writers or another active server process are
outside this process-local signal contract.
- Authority and lineage remain sensitive. The worker uses the existing
selectors and publication policy; it does not grant execution or
disclosure authority.
- Native progress and other publication maintenance still have recurring
work. This PR removes one reason, not the entire chat maintenance timer.
- Worker quiet does not prove database suspension, host sleep, or
external alarm coverage. Cloud sleep blockers remain unchanged.
- Merge eligibility requires passing current-head CI and Greptile 5/5
after this actual-master reconciliation. Subsequent stack slices retain
their own gates.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. The exact serving model ID and
context-window size are not exposed. Used repository inspection,
reasoning, shell execution, PostgreSQL tests, browser E2Es and GitHub
tools.
