DottaandPaperclip 01ddc26a37 fix(routines): clear transient execution failures (#9689)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - Scheduled routines track each dispatch in `routine_runs` and link it
to an execution issue
> - Moving an execution issue to `blocked` or `cancelled` correctly
records a failed run state for operator visibility
> - When that issue later resumes or completes, the run can retain the
earlier failure reason and completion timestamp
> - That stale state makes an active or successfully completed routine
appear failed
> - This pull request reconciles the run back to a live state on resume
and preserves cleared failure details as completion context
> - The benefit is that routine run status consistently reflects the
current execution issue lifecycle without losing useful recovery history

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #9201

### What happened?

A routine execution issue that temporarily moved to `blocked` or
`cancelled` caused its linked routine run to become `failed`. If the
issue later returned to an active status or reached `done`, the routine
run could keep the stale failure reason and terminal timestamp.

### Expected behavior

Active execution issues should have an `issue_created` run with no
failure or completion timestamp. Completed execution issues should have
a `completed` run with no active failure reason, while retaining any
earlier transient failure in structured trigger context for diagnosis.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Create a routine run linked to a routine execution issue.
2. Move the issue to `blocked` and synchronize the run state.
3. Move the issue back to `in_progress` or forward to `done` and
synchronize again.
4. Observe that the run previously retained stale failed-state fields.

### Environment

- Reproduced on `master` at `da549123cc`.
- Core server behavior; not adapter-specific.
- Covered with the embedded PostgreSQL routines service test harness.

## What Changed

- Load the linked routine run while synchronizing execution issue
status.
- Restore transiently failed runs to `issue_created` when their
execution issue resumes active work.
- Clear stale failure state when an execution issue completes and retain
the earlier failure under `triggerPayload.transientFailure`.
- Add regression coverage for both resumed and completed execution
issues.

## Verification

- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server exec vitest run
src/__tests__/routines-service.test.ts` — 57 tests passed.
- `pnpm --filter @paperclipai/server typecheck` — passed.

## Risks

- Low risk: the change is limited to routine execution issue/run
reconciliation.
- A completed run now stores a prior failed-state reason as structured
transient context instead of leaving `failureReason` populated.
- No schema, migration, API contract, or UI behavior changes are
included.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex using GPT-5.4 with reasoning, repository tools, GitHub
CLI access, code execution, and focused test execution. The runtime did
not expose a context-window size.
