DottaandClaude Opus 5.5 c97c0dd248 fix(workspaces): give run preparation its own source lock scope (#19734)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - A run prepares its task workspace under per-source advisory locks
(`workspace-source-lock.ts`). The locks live in a transaction on a
dedicated connection. An `AsyncLocalStorage` scope lets nested calls
reuse that transaction.
> - Timers and detached promises keep the async context that created
them. A native recovery timer or dispatch can start a run from inside
another operation's source scope.
> - When that run prepares its workspace, it sees the other scope as
"held". If that scope already committed, its dedicated connection is
closed. The lock query then fails with `Failed query: select
pg_try_advisory_xact_lock(...)` and cause `CONNECTION_CLOSED`. If that
scope is still open, the run's lock is tied to the other transaction and
is released early.
> - In a restart chaos wave, a reattached follow-up run failed setup
this way 50 ms after "Recovering the existing native runner process".
The setup-failure log did not show the driver cause.
> - This pull request makes only a live scope count as held, and makes
run workspace preparation take its locks in an independent scope.
> - The benefit is that a recovered or dispatched run gets its own
source lock, and a lost-connection failure is diagnosable from the log.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened?**
After a control-plane restart, a native run was reattached
(`reattach_remote_runner`). Its workspace preparation failed at once
with `Failed query: select
pg_try_advisory_xact_lock(hashtextextended($1, 0)) as acquired params:
isolated_repository_source:<company>:<issue>`. The run ended
`failed`/`setup_failed`. The stack showed the "already held scope"
branch of `withWorkspaceSourceLocks`, not a new acquisition. The same
failure occurred earlier in the same wave on a different issue without a
restart.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Call `withIsolatedRepositorySourceLock` for issue A. In its action,
start a detached promise that later calls
`withIsolatedRepositorySourceLock` for issue B.
2. Let the outer action return so its transaction commits.
3. Let the detached call run. It fails with `Failed query ...
pg_try_advisory_xact_lock`, cause `CONNECTION_CLOSED`.

**Expected behavior**
Work that starts after a source scope ends, or independent work such as
a run's preparation, acquires its own locks on its own connection.

**Environment**
Restart chaos campaign on Daytona (OpenCode, workload C1, fault K1,
comment trigger), embedded Postgres. Reproduced locally on embedded
Postgres by the new tests.

does not change wake promotion.

## What Changed

- `server/src/services/workspace-source-lock.ts`: a scope has an
`active` flag. The flag is cleared when its transaction ends.
`withWorkspaceSourceLocks`, `retainManagedProjectSource`,
`retainCurrentWorkspaceSource`, and `assertCurrentWorkspaceSourceHeld`
use only a live scope.
- `server/src/services/workspace-source-lock.ts`: new
`withIndependentWorkspaceSourceLocks`. It acquires locks in a new scope
and ignores an inherited one.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat/workspace-preparation.ts`: run
workspace preparation uses `withIndependentWorkspaceSourceLocks`.
- `server/src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.ts`: the "heartbeat
execution setup failed" log records a bounded driver `causeCode` (for
example `CONNECTION_CLOSED` or a SQLSTATE). It does not log the cause
text.
- Tests: two embedded-Postgres tests in
`isolated-remote-workspace-source-lock.test.ts`, one unit test in
`run-completion.test.ts`.

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/isolated-remote-workspace-source-lock.test.ts` — 4 passed.
- Red (old scope rule): "gives work detached from a finished scope its
own source lock" failed with `Failed query: select
pg_try_advisory_xact_lock(...)`, cause `CONNECTION_CLOSED`. This is the
production error.
- Red: "keeps an independent preparation's lock after the scope that
started it commits" failed because the lock was released with the other
transaction.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/heartbeat/run-completion.test.ts` — 95 passed.
- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/services/remote-workspace-online-source.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/workspace-preparation.test.ts
src/services/isolated-repository-rehome.test.ts
src/services/isolated-task-directory-retention.test.ts
src/services/isolated-task-directory.test.ts
src/__tests__/execution-workspace-reopen.test.ts` — all passed.
- `cd server && npx tsc --noEmit` — clean.
- No live Daytona replay was run.

## Risks

- Low. A nested call inside a live scope behaves as before.
- A call that inherited an ended scope now opens its own dedicated
connection and lock transaction. Before, it failed.
- Run preparation never joins another operation's lock scope. No caller
relies on that today. If one did, it would now take a second,
independent lock and could see `workspace_source_busy` instead of
silently sharing.

## Model Used

- Claude Opus 5.5 (`claude-opus-5-5`), Anthropic, via Claude Code with
tool use (shell, file edit, embedded Postgres tests).
