Nicky LeachandPaperclip f65991a5f1 refactor(server): move scheduled-retry and queued-run dispatch into a run-dispatch module (#12920)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - The server heartbeat service dispatches scheduled retries and queued
runs.
> - The service kept policy decisions and database writes in one large
file.
> - This layout made policy branches harder to test and transaction
boundaries harder to inspect.
> - This pull request moves the policy rules and database transactions
into a run-dispatch module.
> - The benefit is a smaller service, pure policy tests, and clear
transaction ownership.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The server heartbeat service promotes scheduled retries and cancels
stale queued runs.

**Subsystem affected**

server/ — REST API and orchestration services.

**Current behavior**

The heartbeat service contains the policy rules and the database writes
for these dispatch paths.

**Proposed behavior**

A run-dispatch module owns pure policy functions and semantic database
transactions. The public service contracts stay unchanged.

**Reason and benefit**

The new layout separates branch rules from database effects. It makes
each policy branch easier to test and keeps each operation’s row writes
in one transaction.

**Breaking changes**

None. The public service contracts stay unchanged.

## What Changed

- Move scheduled-retry promotion and queued-run staleness rules into
pure functions.
- Add table-driven unit tests for each policy branch.
- Move promotion and cancellation writes into semantic transactions.
- Keep row locking, company isolation, and post-commit effects
unchanged.

## Verification

- `node scripts/check-module-boundaries.mjs` passes.
- `tsc --noEmit` from `server/` reports no errors.
- The focused server test command passes 228 tests in six files.
- Full pull request CI passes.
- Greptile reports 5/5, and all review threads are resolved.

## Risks

The main risk concerns changed transaction boundaries in scheduled-retry
promotion and queued-run cancellation. The focused tests retain coverage
for locking, transactionality, company isolation, and transport
contracts. The public service contracts do not change.

## Model Used

Codex, GPT-5, with code execution and tool use. The context window is
not provided by the runtime.
