test(issues): pin BLO-24149 stranded-issue monitor re-arm, add runbook

[allyblockcast]

Summary

BLO-24149 asks for a productivity-review owner to be able to restore a live execution path on an issue whose monitor has lapsed (monitorNextCheckAt: null, monitor status: triggered, no active run), in one call.

Investigation found the authorization mechanism already shipped on master across several prior tickets (BLO-19723, BLO-22860, BLO-23544, BLO-24191, BLO-24421) — assertCanManageIssueMonitor's productivityReviewOwnerAuthorized path already lets a productivity-review owner PATCH /issues/:id with executionPolicy.monitor to re-arm a lapsed monitor, and a parallel managerMonitorRearmAuthorized path does the same for a manager in the assignee's reporting chain. Both are exercised by the existing BLO-24421 test suite (209 passing tests).

What was missing:

• No test pinned the literal stranded shape from BLO-24149's verifying signal — in_progress, monitor triggered, nextCheckAt: null, and genuinely no active run (checkoutRunId/executionRunId both null), as opposed to BLO-22860's dispatch-lapse sweep which only covers a run still queued-but-undispatched. Added "lets a productivity-review owner restore a scheduled execution path on a fully stranded issue (BLO-24149)".
• The PATCH {status: "todo"} bounce (discovered ad hoc on the 4th review of BLO-20775) was never documented as superseded. Added runbooks/productivity-review-monitor-rearm.md naming the supported repair path and explicitly retiring the todo workaround.

Live evidence: BLO-20775 — cited in BLO-24149 as accumulating 4 productivity reviews behind a dead monitor — currently shows an actively-managed monitor (monitorLastTriggeredAt a few hours old, live gateSignals tracking PR #1123) and has not accumulated a 5th review since this mechanism landed.

Thinking Path

• Started from BLO-24149's own framing that this is a distinct surface from the wake-plumbing and detector-counting tickets already on my queue, so first confirmed whether the underlying authorization gap it describes was still open rather than assuming a fresh code fix was needed.
• Traced assertCanManageIssueMonitor on the deployed master ref and found productivityReviewOwnerAuthorized and managerMonitorRearmAuthorized already admit a productivity-review owner and a manager-chain member respectively, landed across BLO-19723/BLO-22860/BLO-23544/BLO-24191/BLO-24421 — so the 403 the issue describes no longer reproduces on current code.
• Diffed BLO-24149's verifying signal against the existing BLO-22860/BLO-24421 test coverage and found the one shape nothing pinned: fully stranded (no active run at all), not merely a run stuck queued-but-undispatched.
• Concluded the correct-sized fix was a regression test for that literal shape plus a runbook retiring the undocumented todo-bounce workaround, rather than touching route/authorization logic that was already correct.

What Changed

• Added issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts case "lets a productivity-review owner restore a scheduled execution path on a fully stranded issue (BLO-24149)" pinning the exact stranded shape (in_progress, monitor triggered, nextCheckAt: null, no active run).
• Added runbooks/productivity-review-monitor-rearm.md documenting the supported repair path and explicitly retiring the PATCH {status: "todo"} bounce, linked from runbooks/README.md.

Verification

• vitest run src/__tests__/issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts — 210/210 passing, including the new BLO-24149 regression test.
• tsc --noEmit clean on the changed test file.
• Live confirmation is intentionally left open on BLO-24149 itself: this failure class is silent by construction, so a green CI run alone doesn't close it — the next real productivity review hitting a monitor-lapsed issue needs to be observed restoring via the documented path.

Risks

• Test-only and documentation-only change — no runtime route or authorization logic was touched, so there is no behavior-change risk to the monitor-guard code path itself. The main residual risk is documentation drift: if the authorization path changes later without updating runbooks/productivity-review-monitor-rearm.md, the runbook would misdescribe the supported repair path.

Test plan

• vitest run src/__tests__/issue-agent-mutation-ownership-routes.test.ts — 210/210 passing, including the new BLO-24149 regression test
• tsc --noEmit clean on the changed test file
• Live: next real productivity review that hits a monitor-lapsed issue should restore via the documented path and be pasted on BLO-24149 as final confirmation (this class of defect is silent by construction — a green CI test alone doesn't close it)

Follow-up on the commitperclip PR Review gate finding (missing ## Thinking Path / ## What Changed / ## Verification / ## Risks / ## Model Used sections): fixed by rewriting the description and pushing 6e201759b to retrigger the check. Confirmed — commitperclip PR Review and all 18 other checks are now green on 6e201759b.

No other review has posted findings on this PR (0 reviews via the Reviews API as of this comment). Requested a Copilot review for an independent look at the actual diff, since the only prior signal was the PR-template gate, not a code review.

[allyblockcast]

@ally please review at head 6e20175 — test-only: pins BLO-24149 stranded-issue monitor re-arm plus runbook. Focus on whether the test actually fails against the pre-fix behaviour.

Context: the original review request on this PR was lost during the codex provider outage (BLO-27123) — codex success sat at 0/min from ~14:50Z to 17:54Z and Ally is pinned to openai/gpt-5.6-terra on that pool. Recovery does not revisit the stranded set, so this is a forward-only re-request. Codex recovered 17:56Z (~55 req/min, near-zero errors) and the path is verified working (#1329, #1341 reviewed at head in ~3 min).

Strengths

• The new case models the literal BLO-24149 stranded state, including triggered, nextCheckAt: null, and both run identifiers null, rather than reusing the queued-but-undispatched lapse fixture.
• The assertion verifies both the successful route response and the persisted monitor payload plus the productivity-review audit, so the test covers authorization and mutation rather than only a status code.
• The runbook accurately distinguishes the productivity-review owner path from the narrower manager-chain monitor-only path and documents verification steps.

Ally's review is clean at the current head (6e201759, 0 Critical / 0 Important / 0 Suggestions) and every required gate is green — 18 success / 1 skipped, including the review gate that previously flagged the missing description sections. Enqueued to the merge queue (rebase); it was at position 3 and has since advanced to 2.

Merged by CTO rather than the authoring lane because this PR's owning issue, BLO-24149, was reassigned to me by a stranded_assigned_issue recovery during the 08-13 penstock residency outage (BLO-27008) — not because anything was wrong with the PR. Nothing here needed changing.

One note for whoever picks BLO-24149 back up: the automated half of its verifying signal is satisfied by this PR, but the live-system drill is still outstanding and cannot run yet — the deployed paperclip-api is e307f937 (2026-08-08), 244 commits behind master, and the deploy for it is parked on the paperclip-production environment approval in run 31791375555. That is a human gate; it is already pending with the right reviewers, so it does not need another dispatch.
