What broke

After the 0.57.5 restart on 2026-11-11, start() awaited a full poll before spawning the loops. That poll ran fix attempts inline from 06:16 until after 07:30, so housekeeping never started. As a result:

• The first weekly PR digest, due at 07:00 UTC, was missed.
• The separate security intake loop (fix(watcher): poll security intake on its own task #214) didn't run either.

Changes

• Startup: the loops (sources, security intake, housekeeping) start right after warm start, and each runs its first cycle immediately. Retries and cascades now come from the first housekeeping tick instead of a second copy inside the startup poll. poll() remains only as a test driver.
• Catch-up schedules: ReportSchedule::is_due used to fire only within the exact slot hour. Now a slot stays due for the rest of its UTC day until it runs. A long housekeeping tick or a restart no longer skips it, and a missed slot never fires on a later day.
• Persisted runs: a new scheduled_runs table (V19) stores each schedule's last run, so a restart neither repeats nor skips a slot. This applies to the PR digest and the repetitive-issues digest.
• Rate-limit pause: digests now go out while Claude runs are paused for a rate limit, since they make no Claude run.

Tests

Each new test was confirmed to fail without its fix:

• a_source_blocking_its_thread_never_stalls_security_intake now drives start(). With the startup poll put back, it fails.
• the_pr_digest_goes_out_while_runs_are_paused_for_a_rate_limit fails if the paused tick continues.
• a_slot_missed_at_its_hour_runs_later_that_day_only
• a_restarted_watcher_resumes_the_pr_digest_from_its_last_recorded_run
• a_scheduled_run_keeps_only_its_latest_time

🟢 Tier S · Ready to merge

The watcher starts source polling, security intake, and housekeeping loops immediately after warm start, with each loop running independently. Scheduled reports catch up within their UTC slot day and persist the latest run time, and digest delivery continues during Claude rate-limit pauses. The pull request also adds tests for startup behavior, scheduling, persisted run state, and live poll-cycle telemetry.

Latest changes: The newest commits restore poll-cycle duration telemetry in the live source-poll loop and add a test that verifies the running watcher records it.
