DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 0ddc9f1ef1 test(chaos): count an M1 subtask stall only when its recovery needs the board (#20178)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The M1 chaos oracle checks that a parent gets exactly one
`issue_blocker_stalled` wake per stalled subtask (#20147)
> - The product wakes a parent only for a stall that needs the board.
The harness recorded a stall for any blocked subtask, whatever its
latest recovery action
> - In the Daytona M1 wave, a subtask blocked twice on agent- and
system-owned recovery that resolved by itself. The harness counted two
stalls and failed the parent for getting no wake, a false failure
> - This pull request records a stall only when the subtask's latest
recovery action needs the board, matching the product's definition
> - The benefit is that `parent_woken_once_per_stall` fails only for a
wake the product owed

**What happened?**
In wave `w-20261109T041248-s9501`, t10's subtask 195b5fd7 was blocked
twice. Action 56d036e0 was agent-owned (`native_session_interrupted`)
and was cancelled. Action 53eb91b0 was system-owned
(`native_continuation_requires_reconciliation`) and resolved with
outcome cancelled. Neither needed the board, so the product correctly
sent no stall wake. The harness still failed
`parent_woken_once_per_stall` with 2 stalls and 0 wakes.

**Expected behavior**
A stall counts when the subtask's latest recovery action is:
- open (active or escalated) and board-owned, or escalated; or
- board-owned and resolved with outcome blocked, with the subtask still
blocked.

That is the definition the product's blocker-stall wake uses.

## What Changed

- `observeChildStalls` reads the parent's `stalledDependencies` from
`GET /api/issues/:id`. That is the product's own stalled-dependency view
(`listStalledDependencies`, built with the same `readStalls` the
blocker-stall wake uses).
- Each `relation: "child"` entry is recorded as a stall
(`stalledIssueId`, `recoveryAction.id`). The harness no longer infers
stalls from `/recovery-actions`. That endpoint lists only open actions
and selected holds, and can omit a board action resolved with outcome
blocked.
- Clicking the board Retry on a blocked subtask is unchanged: it still
happens whenever the product offers Retry, and it still counts as a
needed Retry.
- Tests:
  - a stall the product lists is recorded;
- for t10's two non-board recovery states, the product lists nothing, so
no stall is recorded, and the subtask's Retry is still clicked.

## Verification

- `npx vitest run` in `tests/restart-chaos`: 212 passed.
- `node scripts/typecheck-test-projects.mjs tests/restart-chaos`: clean.

## Risks

- The harness checks `stalledDependencies` every 10 s. A stall that
appears and clears inside one interval is not recorded, so its wake goes
unchecked. It is never reported as a false failure.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, with tool use and code
execution in Claude Code.
