DottaandPaperclip 94a780286f fix(server): schedule tool health from committed changes and deadlines (#17554)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip manages AI-agent work and its connected tools.
> - Idle hosted instances need their database and network activity to
stop.
> - The maintenance tick queries tool connections even when no health
check is due.
> - Existing connection rows already contain eligibility and the last
health observation.
> - This pull request reconstructs health deadlines and refreshes them
after committed changes.
> - The shared coordinator preserves retries, drain, and shutdown
without another private timer.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**

The aggregate maintenance tick scans connection health every 30 seconds.
Empty instances and connections with fresh health observations still
cause SQL activity.

**Expected behavior**

No eligible connection means no recurring health SQL. Eligible
connections retain the existing 15-minute proactive check. Configuration
changes and health observations update the schedule after commit.

**Steps to reproduce**

Start a server with heartbeat scheduling enabled and no tool
connections. Let startup finish and observe two maintenance ticks. The
old code repeats the health inventory query. The new startup regression
verifies that those ticks do not invoke the health inventory.

**Paperclip version or commit**

This branch includes merged parent #17518 and master
`96727b3cfefb61f85ffe1fbc29a9b6dd6837efe8`. The 47 changed paths belong
to the single tool-connection health duty. No database file differs from
master.

Related: #14638 covers runtime-auth exclusions. #15448, #15325, and
#11910 concern MCP failure classification. This PR preserves those
provider policies and does not replace their work.

## What Changed

- Keep the GitHub error-projection unit fixture at the health-write
boundary and verify the real transaction path in the PostgreSQL
health-worker suite.

- Add a health schedule owned by tool access. Read lean eligibility
fields and saved observation timestamps.
- Register health work with the existing coordinator. Refresh only dirty
connection/application/company scopes using bounded inventory pages,
check due connections in fair company batches, continue concrete due
backlog after one second, and retain failures with backoff.
- Notify before supported eligibility and observation writes in their
owning transactions. Cover API/gallery setup, OAuth, catalog/gateway
observations, email, voice, access removal, deletion, and settings.
- Commit connection creation with grant, binding, and runtime-slot SQL
before its wake. Keep provider calls outside the new transactions.
- Keep provider-to-transport mapping in the chat catalog. SDK-only chat
changes do not wake health work.
- Replace aggregate health scans, retain the public manual sweep, and
document the producer audit and remaining sleep limits.
- Keep metadata-only example and Smoke Lab installs scoped. Lock and
re-read application type before publishing a real eligibility change.
- Keep failed inventory reads on their own retry deadline while healthy
due batches continue.
- Apply fixture migrations before using external disposable databases in
all six producer suites.

## Verification

Published head: `8c1d293d1ae2b7db753ab20f5a2a2edec1fb0a62`. Fresh CI and
reviews are required for this exact head.

- **623 distinct targeted cases pass.** The final four complete health,
fair-batching, GitHub health recovery, and startup suites pass 80 cases
after the retry fix. Five complete producer suites pass 543 cases: tool
access 469, access 18, email 45, GitHub events four, and Smoke Lab
seven. The earlier 26 health cases are part of this total, not
additional cases.
- The six producer suites first passed against separate, initially empty
PostgreSQL 17 databases at `acbf262843`. They apply their own
migrations. The subsequent repair changes only the health worker and its
regression; its complete final consumer suites pass on that integrated
parent. Server typecheck and build pass with the final repair.
- **Installer amplification:** five real installs with 205 unrelated
connections reproduced 1,035 example rows and 1,045 Smoke Lab rows.
Repeated metadata installs now load only changed fixture connections.
The same cases restore an excluded application through each installer
and require all 205 unrelated IDs to re-enter the schedule.
- **Concurrent eligibility:** a real PostgreSQL lock-wait case requires
the installer to notify after a concurrent type change. A mutation that
retains the lock but uses the old lookup fails the settled-hint
assertion; original source was restored byte for byte.
- **Retry isolation:** the failing baseline read one unavailable company
three times while another company's 60 due checks drained. Final tests
require one initial read, at least 30 seconds between failed reads,
prompt healthy progress, eventual recovery, and SQL quiet after
settlement.
- Real-service producer coverage includes AgentMail activation/pause,
GitHub installation changes, and member access removal. Lifecycle
coverage includes outer commit/rollback, startup reconstruction,
drain/resume, failure, and shutdown.
- Failure history and exact evidence scope: [health
acceptance](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/8c1d293d1ae2b7db753ab20f5a2a2edec1fb0a62/doc/idle-tool-connection-health.md#acceptance-follow-up-after-the-plugin-parent-merged-october-27),
[producer
audit](https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/blob/8c1d293d1ae2b7db753ab20f5a2a2edec1fb0a62/doc/plans/2026-10-24-tool-connection-health-sleep-audit.md).
Prior remote failures and earlier 706-case evidence remain historical.
Startup tests emitted listener-count warnings; all assertions passed. No
full local repository-suite, deployed sleep, fleet savings, or live
provider qualification claim is made.

## Risks

- Supported live writers must use the transaction signals. Independent
SQL writers and other replicas need their own wake integration.
- Configured eligible connections still have a real proactive health
obligation. This does not prove Cloud alarm coverage or host/database
suspension.
- Existing manual probes and catalog operations can overlap. This
migration does not introduce a credential-version CAS or change provider
failure policy.
- Voice remains eligible under the previous health policy. Its generic
probe can still report an unsupported transport; changing that behavior
is separate work.
- No database migration, new table, workflow, or lockfile change. This
PR includes its merged parent and current inspected master; later stack
PRs and all current-head acceptance gates remain separate.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family, with repository tools, code execution, and
reasoning. The exact serving version and context-window size are not
exposed in this session.
