4d0847c4ca fix(server): settle external conversations from committed work (#17772)
<!-- entire-trail-link-start -->
https://entire.com/gh/paperclipai/-/trails/6/changes/paperclip/6
<!-- entire-trail-link-end -->

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI agents and the tasks that they execute.
> - External conversations must become idle after an authorized response
is published and all related work is complete.
> - Native replay and stranded-task recovery still discover this
settlement work through recurring scans.
> - A new deadline worker must preserve response ordering, monitor
handoffs, and unfinished work.
> - This pull request gives settlement one shared readiness predicate
and activates its worker from committed changes.
> - Existing rows provide recovery truth. No new table or per-feature
timer is added.
> - The benefit is a settlement worker that becomes quiet and resumes
when relevant work changes.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17758. This is slice 56. Slice 55 has merged. Related: #17606
(chat milestones), #17663 (bounded run reads), #17665 (monitor proof),
and #13809 (answered Slack conversation lifecycle). The provider
applicability remains Slack and Speko-owned conversations. This does not
extend Telegram settlement from #16559.

**What happened?**

Conversation settlement depended on periodic native replay and generic
task recovery. An exhausted monitor also cleared its schedule before
recovery admission. During that gap, an answered conversation could look
finished. Failed or deferred admission lost the monitor schedule.

**Expected behavior**

Relevant committed changes activate settlement. The worker uses the
owning service's evidence and becomes quiet when no settlement is owed.
Monitor recovery stays pending until admission, and restart does not
admit an already accepted recovery twice.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Create an active external conversation with a successful run and an
authorized published response.
2. Keep execution, approval, a goal, or a monitor pending. Let the
settlement worker become quiet.
3. Resolve that prerequisite through its owning service. Verify that the
conversation settles without another periodic sweep.
4. Delay or fail exhausted-monitor recovery admission. Verify that the
monitor remains pending and the conversation cannot settle during the
handoff.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Accepted production source: `50f4432ed88537b8d522cf1dce24c33588db0bac`.
Parent #17758 merged as `8ac5a128e66fb672e88106412f76cf278599bfc4`. The
publication adopts that actual squash through a normal merge with an
unchanged complete child tree.

## What Changed

- Preserve quiet after coarse company-only maintenance hints. The shared
inbound-notice and response-availability helpers keep settlement enabled
by default. Only the milestone dispatcher suppresses their duplicate
settlement fanout. Its scoped issue-review signal and the explicit
company-authority signal still wake real work. Four database cases prove
both quiet and real company-wide producer delivery.
- Preserve source-generation checks for chat handoff,
task-before-comment locking, issue-scoped decision invalidation, and
current conversation event columns from master.
- Track initial external conversation settlement through shutdown
without blocking HTTP readiness on endpoint or task locks.

- Reuse the real queue's coalesced recovery receipt after restart,
without admitting the same monitor recovery again.

- Share the existing conversation readiness predicate between bounded
discovery and locked settlement. Preserve current provider policy,
run/publication proof, company boundaries, and endpoint-to-issue lock
order.
- Register a scoped deadline worker through the delivery coordinator.
Preserve startup, restore/worktree suppression, drain/resume, failure
recovery, and joined shutdown.
- Extend existing review, milestone, wake-notice, and finalization
signals. Add notifications at independent issue, comment, goal, session,
and wake-receipt unblocks.
- Keep monitor owner recovery pending until guarded admission. Reuse an
accepted receipt for the same monitor schedule after restart, even when
its limit reason changes; retain compatibility with legacy receipt keys.
Commit board escalation and its monitor clear together.
- Delegate periodic native settlement while preserving resource
callbacks. Keep direct/manual defaults and preserve generic recovery
ordering with a read-only readiness guard.
- Add the producer and lifecycle audit in
`doc/plans/2026-10-26-external-conversation-settlement-sleep.md` and
update the stack ledger.

## Verification

Accepted production source: `50f4432ed88537b8d522cf1dce24c33588db0bac`.
Publication head: `b256bb52647affd9f5279ea8c40f48bbe40f031f`.
The complete accepted child tree stays unchanged when adopting merged
parent #17758. This publication adds only the audit document.

- **3,129 distinct cases in 37 complete server files pass**, plus **18
selected chat-response cases** (3,147 selected cases). The other 1,796
chat cases were not run locally. Full settlement, queue, scheduling,
run-state, goals, interactions, task Retry, decision targets, status
reassessment, workspace, process recovery, and review consumers are
covered.
- **Preserved failure:** the first 35-file command passed 2,445 cases
and timed out one restored-work handoff at its existing 15-second limit.
That aggregate command failed. The unchanged full 89-case actions file
then passed on a fresh fixture; the affected case took 22 ms. Root cause
was not established. No timeout or assertion changed. The 34 other files
passed originally. Distinct counts exclude duplicate actions passes.
Fresh CI remains a separate gate.
- **Indirect wake regression:** the original unconditional baseline
failed two quiet checks. Guards alone left the chat case failing with
three candidate queries. The final controlled indirect baseline fails
one of four cases; the repair passes all four with the same test hash.
Positive controls preserve real company-only producers.
- **Source and fixture controls:** all 38 selected test files restore to
their exact committed hashes after fixture imports. Fresh PostgreSQL 17
fixtures use 413 migrations. All five manual merge resolutions preserve
current authority, locking, and event-column contracts.
- **Static checks pass:** database build; server typecheck and build;
module boundaries; migration order; Copilot profile identity. Runner
packages equal the accepted parent byte for byte. No new Runner/package
qualification is claimed.
- [Current integration and wake
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/b256bb52647affd9f5279ea8c40f48bbe40f031f/doc/plans/2026-10-26-external-conversation-settlement-sleep.md#current-master-integration-and-indirect-wake-audit-2026-10-29).
Latest-head CI and exact-head Greptile 5/5 must pass before merge.

<details><summary>Earlier revision verification and preserved failure
history</summary>

Receiver failure fairness: a controlled 1,100 ms batch reproduced a
30-second delay for healthy due receivers. The worker now supplies its
existing per-item deadline through `nextRunAtOnError`. All 20 receiver
lifecycle tests pass on the owner and combined tip
`31c12f1d68ff4a51e06fc2be2abf2c2aee9f9d3a`; server production
typechecking passes on the owner. The failed receiver retains its own
backoff, and settled receivers return to zero recurring SQL. The
five-second assertion budget is unchanged. See [the owning
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/83204a67880d980cfbea3771cee19a3cda0022b7/doc/plans/2026-10-25-chat-receiver-discovery-sleep-audit.md#healthy-receiver-progress-after-a-slow-failed-batch).
Current-head CI and review remain required.

Approved delegated Test-tab calls now evaluate caller and target
policies in the existing claim transaction. Real HTTP regressions first
showed a missing caller charge and shared-limit self-rejection. All 78
connection-management cases and 92 gateway cases now pass on the owning
branch, along with server production typechecking. All 78
connection-management cases also pass at combined tip
`d25f830db89c1623bff3547bfc68015c1c66e0cf`. The three new cases cover
shared charges, separate charges, rollback on denial, duplicate
approval, and rejection of a later authorized call. Intermediate
counter/identity fixture failures and a reused-database Slack collision
are recorded in [the owning
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/ef9ae5767430d0093efc736ae0b303ba5afaae65/doc/idle-approved-tool-recovery.md#delegated-test-tab-admission-after-policy-changes).
The earlier combined checks below remain evidence for their stated
revisions. Current-head CI and review remain required.

Inherited voice-cleanup verification: the controlled slow-provider
regression and all 13 lifecycle tests passed on its owner and combined
tip `ab22d8ed0c09028315607414b83b375e5cc0a60a`. That repair changed only
the fixture clock advancement and its audit note.

Current head: `83204a67880d980cfbea3771cee19a3cda0022b7`. This remains a
single-duty PR stacked on #17758.

- Integrated pinned master `8548173fc9efdc0fa07644fb92dcc0b6851a95e5`
with normal merges. Every branch passed generated-schema checks and its
target-branch migration-order gate. Existing SQL is unchanged; the 25
stack migrations follow master’s new migration.
- Duty-specific producer coverage, lifecycle tests, and earlier failure
records:
[2026-10-24-recurring-server-sleep-stack.md](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/d6d8e4ffa6b330ebf4647aec997ee2dde6abc321/doc/plans/2026-10-24-recurring-server-sleep-stack.md),
[2026-10-26-external-conversation-settlement-sleep.md](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/d6d8e4ffa6b330ebf4647aec997ee2dde6abc321/doc/plans/2026-10-26-external-conversation-settlement-sleep.md).
- Combined tip `51e6cbe67979b55b340ea9f0f434c5b5c682ccd6`: **355
startup/cancellation/recovery/dispatch/preservation tests**, **75
connection-management tests**, and production server typechecking pass.
These combined checks do not mean every intermediate PR independently
ran the full repository suite.
- Real master-to-stack database upgrade passes: **379 unchanged prior
migration receipts plus 25 new migrations**, with the gateway
responsibility fixture preserved.
- Owning-branch checks: 84 runner installation/settlement cases plus
runner typechecking and generated TypeScript/Rust profile agreement; 253
GitHub review workflow cases. Stop-attribution and held-worker readiness
regressions failed before their fixes.
- Failure accounting: the initial combined run passed 349 cases and
failed six idle assertions in a reused preservation database containing
old cancelled runs. Repeating the combined command with a fresh
preservation database passed. Earlier invalid project selection, merge
import/type errors, and the interrupted full local suite are not counted
as passing checks.
- **Latest-head CI and review remain required.** Prior CI findings
include GitHub idle observation, route teardown, attention cleanup,
touch-picker E2E, workspace health, and voice-cleanup timing; local
passes do not erase those failures. No full local repository-suite,
deployed sleep, fleet cost, or live Copilot qualification claim is made.


</details>

## Risks

- Signals cover supported in-process writers. They do not supply change
capture for independent SQL or other replicas.
- Real company-wide changes can inspect active candidates. Coarse
maintenance hints do not activate settlement. Configured idle and
retained history must remain quiet.
- Monitor receipt binding and admission order must preserve company,
agent, issue, and exact schedule identity. Current parent handoff locks
and source-generation checks remain intact.
- The local restored-work timeout is retained above. A fresh full-file
pass does not establish its cause; latest-head CI must also pass.
- Generic recovery and Muse/resource duties remain separate slices. This
does not make the whole server idle. Existing Cloud sleep blockers
remain. No deployed sleep, database suspension, external alarm coverage,
fleet cost, or live provider qualification claim is made.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, code execution, PostgreSQL
tests, and GitHub tools. The exact runtime model identifier and
context-window size are not exposed in this session.

df6156c2e3 fix(server): wake native status reassessment from committed changes (#17709)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents, tasks and their durable native results.
> - Changed evidence, task authority or review retirement can require a
new status assessment.
> - Periodic orphan recovery repeatedly reads history to find these
changes.
> - This change gives reassessment an owner driven by committed changes
and saved deadlines.
> - Existing result, assessment, decision and task rows remain durable
truth.
> - The status committer still verifies current sources and authority
before writing.
> - Settled or insufficient evidence becomes quiet until a supported
producer changes it.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17702 (merged), #17679 and #17680. This is slice 50, now based on
master. It owns native status reassessment; workspace settlement,
retained sessions and other orphan duties remain separate.

**What happened?**

Periodic recovery repeatedly inspects completed native results. Removing
that scan without complete writer coverage or current authority checks
could strand new evidence or commit an old result over newer work.

**Expected behavior**

Reassess from existing durable facts after relevant outer transactions
commit. Retain real retry/lease deadlines and restart/drain recovery.
Preserve current authority, quality-review and supersession checks. Make
no recurring SQL when work is settled or dormant.

**Steps to reproduce**

Complete a native result awaiting evidence or review, leave it idle,
then approve a real work product or retire the selected automatic
review. Its saved result should advance once when authorized, or record
the existing nonterminal business gate, without a periodic scan.

## What Changed

- Extract reassessment and its pure status policy from finalization
recovery into their owning modules. Add a scoped worker using the
existing delivery coordinator and scheduler; no queue table or migration
is added.
- Retain the three durable discovery triggers: changed work-product
history, authoritative task status/version, or retirement of the
selected automatic completion review. Preserve selected-source,
ownership, effects, retry and lease fences under the existing committer.
- Notify from actual task/work-product, claim release, approval,
interaction, OAuth, event evidence and workspace-settlement owners
before their transaction writes. Keep provider calls outside short
transactions and nested writes behind outer commit.
- Scope ordinary milestone/finalization/coalesced-input wakes to an
issue/run. Keep genuine company authority restoration explicit. Real
Photon and coalescer regressions cover all three response/status queues.
- Move the current parent's required quality policy into the owner and
apply it to every reassessment that could complete a task. An unmet
review records the existing in-progress decision and next action,
avoiding an operational retry loop. Preserve conversation/session reset
locks and the workspace omission-barrier signal.
- Skip reassessment in periodic recovery while preserving
explicit/startup recovery and the historical supersession guard before
independent workspace work. Document the source contract, producer
inventory, failures and qualifications in the linked audit.

## Verification

- Broad source `9fddb3f0b1157df32b64fb1f22e9d6e9624470e8` passes **2731
distinct cases in 28 complete files**, with no skips: 2458
producer/owner/authority/workspace/quality cases in 394.43 seconds and
all 273 governed-response cases in 53.74 seconds. Nineteen dedicated
fresh PostgreSQL 17 databases migrate through 0413; eighteen
embedded-only invocations preserve fresh-per-call isolation through the
existing recovery helper. All 22 temporary imports restore exactly and
all 28 hashes match.
- Final runtime source `5ea3b0fd016bf7e63ba82a7044825a46a0cd2082` passes
**1211 cases in five complete affected files** in 108.23 seconds after
the narrowly reproduced evidence-trigger fix: all 43 worker, 145 corpus,
32 finalization-recovery, 968 native-session and 23 quality-review
cases. Four fresh databases plus the quality helper's own fresh fixture
use PostgreSQL 17. Its one adapted import restores exactly; all five
hashes match. The other 27 broad-run test files are unchanged. These
qualifications are source-scoped and not cumulatively double-counted.
- Required/optional real regressions reproduce retry loops on
retired-review and evidence-approval paths before repair; both become
SQL quiet afterward with unchanged assertions/time limits. Controlled
removal of only ordinary scope guards reproduces two coarse-hint SQL
failures; exact guard restoration passes. Real producer, outer
transaction, claim, authority, 103-item backlog, retry and drain cases
pass. Photon transport is mocked; callbacks, locks and observed SQL are
real.
- Normal merges preserve 12661 parent/unrelated entries, 35 owned
entries and 21 automatic shared results, with five original conflicts
reviewed explicitly. The parent's actual squash reconciliation preserves
the entire held child tree. The final quality fix changes only its owner
and tests. Fourteen added comments are removed with identical nontrivia
tokens; no directives are removed and the final comment check is empty.
- Database build, server types/build, boundaries and exact-head
migration order pass. The database tree is identical to merged #17702:
no new SQL, queue table or snapshot is generated. Earlier benchmarks,
host limitations, failed assertions and their repairs remain in
`doc/plans/2026-10-26-native-status-reassessment-sleep-audit.md` and
`doc/idle-native-status-reassessment.md`.
- This qualifies targeted external PostgreSQL behavior, not embedded
bootstrap on the semaphore-exhausted host, a full local repository
suite, deployed sleep or measured fleet savings. Fresh exact-head CI and
review remain required.

## Risks

- Notifications retain the process-local supported-writer contract.
Independent SQL writers and uncoordinated replicas are not covered by a
new transport.
- Reassessment competes with current authority changes. Existing
row/source locks and retries remain required; arbitrary missing
identities have no row to lock, so this is not a general predicate-lock
guarantee.
- Discovery pages 100 rows but retains outstanding candidates in memory.
It remains proportional to backlog size, and cancellation occurs between
queries.
- Other orphan/workspace/session duties and Cloud sleep eligibility
remain unchanged. Missing supported producer coverage could strand
dormant work, so the producer audit and real callback/transaction tests
remain part of acceptance.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, shell
execution and PostgreSQL tests. The runtime does not expose a more
specific serving snapshot or context-window size.

79ce86630a fix(server): schedule governed review response recovery (#17702)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages agents, tasks and their external chat responses.
> - A completed chat turn can owe a response while an earlier review
gate remains pending.
> - Periodic recovery revisits that response history even when no work
can advance.
> - This change uses the existing delivery coordinator and saved retry
deadlines.
> - Approval, interaction and authority changes wake the affected issue
or run after commit.
> - The existing presentation owner verifies the durable result and
current authority.
> - Settled and dormant history becomes quiet without losing future
eligible responses.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17696 (merged) and #15625. This is slice 49, now based on master.
It owns governed-review response presentation. Accepted responses and
pending decision effects keep their existing owners.

**What happened?**

Native finalization recovery repeatedly inspects committed review
responses. Removing the scan without covering approval, interaction,
task-policy and authority changes would strand responses that become
eligible later.

**Expected behavior**

Recover an owed response once from existing durable facts. Enforce
authority at publication, wake after relevant outer transactions commit,
retain real retry deadlines and restart/drain recovery, and stop
recurring SQL when no response can advance.

**Steps to reproduce**

Complete an external chat turn while an earlier completion review
remains pending. Block its response behind an approval or interaction,
then resolve that blocker. The response must appear once without a
periodic scan or resolving the original review gate.

## What Changed

- Add a scoped governed-review worker using the existing coordinator,
finalizations, decisions and comment receipts. No queue table or
transaction wrapper is added.
- Keep recovery and publication policy in the native finalizer. Preserve
binding, source/session authority, ownership, deadline and
deleted-comment fences; match coordinator-before-issue lock ordering.
- Notify through actual approval, interaction, OAuth, task-policy and
lifecycle producers before their owned writes. Serialize approval
resolution with task linking so a concurrent link retains its wake.
Nested transactions still settle at outer commit.
- Scope ordinary milestones, finalization and coalesced input to their
issue/run. Use the explicit company authority boundary for genuine
global restoration, including membership changes. Both response workers
share this boundary.
- Register under maintenance and drain gates, disable the two periodic
repair entrances, and retain fresh finalization and explicit recovery.
Add the concurrent 0413 comment-receipt index and migration
registration; retain five snapshots.
- Preserve the producer inventory, source qualifications and earlier
failures in the owner audit. Retain a real Photon regression proving
routine ownership assertions stay quiet and concurrent authority
restoration wakes each worker once.

## Verification

- Scoped repair source `2341714720b5c273f0ce011b48345af0ef39227f` passes
**2053 distinct cases**: 1703 in 15 complete producer/authority/recovery
files, including all 273 governed-response cases and 95 wake-queue
adapter cases, plus 350 selected chat cases. Another 1463 chat cases are
outside that selection. Thirteen fresh PostgreSQL 17 fixtures migrate
through unchanged 0413; the one temporary queue-fixture import restores
exactly. All sixteen captured hashes match.
- Two actual repeated coarse-hint SQL regressions fail before repair and
pass afterward. Actual membership restoration passes before and after.
The same assertions and time limits prove dormant work stays quiet and
real authority restoration still publishes once. Real coalesced input
covers both queues after commit.
- Combined source `586f5674cd9798b33cd22437255e0480b5726d20`, including
independent master #18129, passes **1297 distinct cases**: 1093 in five
complete server files, 185 in five runner files, 14 Node protocol cases
and five UI registry cases. This includes the complete 22-case Photon
file for both response workers. The external Photon transport is mocked;
Paperclip callbacks, transaction fences and observed SQL are real. The
earlier and combined case counts are separate, with no cumulative
double-counting.
- A normal merge retains both complete owned and independent master
binary patches. All twelve new-context hashes and sixteen earlier repair
hashes match. Three dedicated fresh 0413 fixtures plus the live-event
helper's own fresh database use PostgreSQL 17 without source
adaptations. Database build, server types/build, boundaries, full-SHA
migration order and generated TS/Rust profiles pass. The new inherited
Runner vendor inputs rebuild successfully.
- Database bytes remain identical to the previously qualified 0413
source. The recorded populated 0412-to0413 upgrade retains all 411 prior
receipts and 38 companies, appends one receipt and none on replay; the
index is valid and ready. The earlier 2828-case acceptance, CLI journey,
setup failures and their repairs retain their recorded source scope in
`doc/plans/2026-10-26-governed-review-response-sleep-audit.md`.
- Parent #17696 merged with 58 clean checks, Greptile 5/5 and Ponytail
5/5. Its Photon warning was disproved by real callback/SQL evidence and
the security check became successful. This PR still requires its own
fresh exact-head CI and review gates. No deployed sleep, external alarm
or fleet savings claim is made.

## Risks

- Notifications use the existing process-local writer contract.
Independent SQL writers and uncoordinated replicas are outside its
coverage.
- Genuine startup and company authority reconstruction remain
proportional to the owed backlog. Queries page 100 rows, but discovery
accumulates the candidates; this is not a constant-cost global
operation.
- Current publication authorization, durable binding, ownership and lock
ordering remain mandatory. The worker does not resolve the original
review gate.
- The concurrent index uses existing migration replay handling. Other
recovery duties and Cloud sleep eligibility remain separate.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with reasoning, repository tools, shell
execution and PostgreSQL tests. The runtime does not expose a more
specific serving snapshot or context-window size.

DottaandPaperclip 4e27a82a42 fix(server): wake approval queue seeding from committed changes (#17510)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages work and human decisions for AI-agent companies.
> - Automatic decision queues store membership for pending attention
sources.
> - The old attention maintenance scan created that membership as a side
effect.
> - Moving approval retention out of the scan also removed approval
queue discovery.
> - Queue API consumers do not build the attention feed first, so they
can miss pending PR approvals.
> - This pull request gives approval queue discovery its own worker and
commit signals.
> - The worker becomes quiet after it saves every missing membership.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #17497. Stacked on #17508, following #17505.

This is a correctness dependency for the approval retention migration in
#17497. Do not treat that migration as complete without this
queue-population path. A real PostgreSQL regression found no PR queue
when a pending approval had a linked PR work product and the maintenance
feed excluded approvals.

Related: #13364 proposes pruning stale seeded memberships. This PR
preserves existing membership retention and does not implement pruning.
#15149 documents the decision-queue APIs.

## What Changed

- Add an approval queue worker that selects missing PR-queue memberships
from existing durable records. Bound each pass to 100 rows. Continue
past failed rows and revisit them on retry.
- Reuse the queue service's seed writer through a normalized source
contract. Keep queue rules, uniqueness, and audit writes in that
service. Keep feed readers compatible.
- Wake from committed approval and link changes, issue/company
visibility, PR work-product changes and imports, and queue-rule changes.
Reuse the existing transaction boundaries.
- Recheck approval status under a row lock. Serialize queue-rule changes
with the seed writer. Preserve required recovery during drain and
shutdown.
- Register startup reconstruction under the existing maintenance switch.
Leave other attention-source seeding with its current owner until its
own migration.
- Document the complete producer audit and stack dependency. Add a
validated external PostgreSQL option to the existing queue route suite
so it runs on hosts without embedded database support.

## Verification

Current tested revision: `7948136ef8`. This PR targets master after
#17508 merged as `8406047b4e`. Normal ancestry reconciliation preserved
the complete tested integration tree, before the review repairs below.
Only the original 25 seeding paths differ from master, and database
schema/migration metadata is identical.

- **56 cases pass in the three complete affected suites:** 28 approval
seeding, 6 queue routes and 22 task-watchdog cases. Server typecheck and
production build pass.
- Three real PostgreSQL retry regressions failed then passed: new
matching arrivals cannot postpone a recovered failure indefinitely;
successful partial progress resets old failure penalties; an empty
cursor rollover does not reset outage backoff. Exact one- and two-second
retry assertions, eventual complete recovery and existing
capped-backoff/company isolation tests pass.
- Three genuinely empty external databases failed before setup repair
because tables were missing. Each suite now applies migrations itself.
All 55 cases passed on a second set of fresh databases; adding the final
rollover guard then passed all 56 cases using those now-migrated
fixtures. No production migration or table is added.
- The initial expanded fresh run passed 54 cases but failed a cleanup
expectation that omitted a required cursor rollover pass. The fixture
now permits that explicit continuation while preserving exact deadline
and complete-membership assertions. All failure records remain in
`doc/idle-approval-queue-seeding.md`.
- The prior integrated revision `4e725e2055` passed **522 cases in
fifteen complete producer/consumer suites**, plus types/build. Its
unchanged consumer code and historical deadlock, cross-company
amplification, backoff, gateway integration and setup evidence remain
documented; those counts are not relabeled as current acceptance.

Commands: server Vitest for approval queue seeding, queue routes and
task watchdogs; server typecheck/build. Fresh exact-head
Greptile/Ponytail reviews and all CI checks remain required. No full
local repository-suite, deployed suspension or cost claim is made.

## Risks

- Signals cover the supported in-process service writers. Independent
SQL writers and multiple server replicas need a separate notification
contract.
- The source predicate must stay aligned with unscoped attention
maintenance. The first linked issue, company scope, pending status, and
execution visibility are tested. A pending approval itself keeps its
linked external conversation active.
- Existing enabled seed rules can re-add manually removed matching
memberships. This preserves the old scan's behavior. Completed or
archived membership is not pruned.
- Queue seeding and retention are separate owners. Other attention
sources still need their own event-driven discovery before the aggregate
scan can be retired.
- This PR does not extend Cloud wake coverage, relax sleep admission, or
claim measured host/database suspension.
