DottaandPaperclip 0e9b24c821 fix: resume subscription comment wakes and preserve retry status (#13433)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Concurrent task runs can share a managed AI subscription with one
credential lease.
> - #13438 added durable retries for busy subscriptions and task-lock
checks.
> - A comment wake can run for an agent who is not the task assignee.
Such a run never owns the task lock, so the new checks suppress its
retry.
> - This pull request preserves those comment wakes while keeping the
lock checks for assignee runs.
> - It also shows the subscription wait in task status and preserves the
failure count through the database projection.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #13438.

**What happened?**

When a subscription is busy, a non-assignee comment wake is cancelled
without a successor. Repeated subscription waits also display an
inflated attempt count because the execution query omits the preserved
failure count.

**Expected behavior**

An eligible comment wake waits and resumes without claiming the
assignee's task lock. The task shows “Waiting for AI subscription”.
Waiting does not consume provider-failure retries. Assignee retries
still stop when the task lock is cleared or transferred.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Configure an agent with a managed subscription and concurrent runs.
2. Hold its credential lease in one run.
3. Mention the agent on a task assigned to another actor.
4. Release the lease and inspect whether the comment wake has a
scheduled retry.

The test uses a real embedded Postgres database and a real credential
lease. Provider execution uses a fixture. The reassignment test applies
a database mutation after the real checkout. No live provider account is
needed.

**Paperclip version or commit**

Based on `f912ecaac` from #13438. Before the reconciliation fix, the
rebased regression at `2063cfd13` failed because the comment wake had no
scheduled retry. The original configuration failure was reproduced on
`5282cabde` before #13438 merged.

**Deployment mode**

Built from source with embedded Postgres for local verification.

## What Changed

- Record non-assignee comment-wake authority at admission while holding
the task and run locks. A later reassignment cannot grant this
exception. Preserve it through repeated subscription waits.
- Keep master’s lock checks for assignee retries, including the check
inside the scheduling transaction.
- Show the subscription wait and preserve its failure count in the
execution projection query.
- Limit pre-provider wait receipts to fresh executions. A persisted
native execution input must retain its recovery path.
- Add lease, retry, projection, cancellation, reassignment, pause,
revocation, service-recreation, and ownership regression coverage.
- Use master’s 60–120 second retry interval and document the resulting
behavior.

## Verification

- Red: after rebase, the comment-wake test failed with no scheduled
retry; the other 50 contention and retry-scheduling tests passed.
- Red/green: reassigning the task immediately after real checkout
reproduced an unwanted successor for both assignment and comment wakes.
Both tests pass after recording authority at admission.
- Green: all 285 targeted tests pass across 12 suites, including
#13438’s four cancellation-race phases, its hiring/connection suite,
run-dispatch integration tests, and both reassignment regressions.
- `pnpm -r typecheck` passes after rebase.
- `pnpm build` passes on the final revision.
- The full general and serialized test suites pass in [CI run
34899514681](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/34899514681)
on `99f1e4c1d`. Full-suite verification ran in CI; local verification
used the 285 targeted tests.
- All 32 active PR checks pass, including build, typecheck, native
runner verification, canary dry run, and all browser shards. Two
Storybook checks are skipped by path filters.
- Greptile reviewed `99f1e4c1d` at 5/5 with no outstanding findings. All
review threads are resolved.
- `git diff --check` and `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs`
pass.

## Risks

- The non-assignee exception requires authority recorded under admission
locks or its server-created subscription retry. Tests cover
caller-supplied flags, assignment and comment reassignment races,
repeated comment waits, and assignee lock protections.
- A wait uses master’s 60–120 second interval. A long-held lease can
produce multiple wait records.
- Existing native sessions can have provider effects. They must not
receive a fresh-execution receipt that permits replay.
- No schema migration or credential permission change is required.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, model `gpt-6-astra`, with repository search, code editing,
shell execution, and test tools. The session does not expose its
context-window size.
