* fix(sync): contention-free page-generation clock — sequence swap

The page-generation clock backed the query-cache Layer-1 bookmark via a
FOR EACH STATEMENT trigger running `UPDATE page_generation_clock SET
value=value+1 WHERE id=1`. That took a transaction-length RowExclusiveLock
on one tuple, so every concurrent page writer serialized on the prior
writer's COMMIT — sync ran at ~0.8 cores regardless of worker count.

Swap to a SEQUENCE bumped by nextval() (a microsecond LWLock, never a row
lock). The clock's only contract is monotonic advancement on any page
INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE; last_value is non-transactional, so rolled-back or
concurrent-uncommitted writers only OVER-invalidate the cache (lose a hit),
never serve stale.

- migration v118: CREATE SEQUENCE + load-bearing 2-arg setval (is_called=
  true, floor 1, seeded >= old clock and MAX(generation)) + repoint the
  trigger function body + DELETE query_cache so no old-clock bookmark
  survives the swap. v107 left immutable.
- query-cache-gate.ts: 3 readers -> SELECT last_value FROM page_generation_clock_seq.
- schema.sql + pglite-schema.ts (+ regenerated schema-embedded.ts) ship the
  sequence on fresh install; table + trigger names retained.
- tests: clockValue reads last_value; mechanism proof (trigger fn uses
  nextval not the row UPDATE); rollback-advances-clock safety pin; real
  PGLite sequence round-trip (is_called gotcha); shape test requires _seq.

* fix(sync): op_checkpoints array-shape guard — CHECK + repair + defensive loader

completed_keys is JSONB and the checkpoint loader runs
jsonb_array_elements_text over it. A non-array (scalar) value makes that
throw "cannot extract elements from a scalar", which takes down the whole
UNION load — including the valid op_checkpoint_paths child rows — and loses
all checkpoint progress for that key. No current writer produces a scalar,
but an older binary / external script / future bug could.

Make the corruption class structurally impossible and self-healing:

- migration v119: LOCK TABLE (so an out-of-band scalar can't land between
  repair and constrain; no-op on single-connection PGLite), repair any
  pre-existing scalar to '[]' (op_checkpoint_paths child rows are the
  append-only source of truth, so the reset loses nothing), then add the
  named CHECK (jsonb_typeof(completed_keys) = 'array') via a pg_constraint
  IF NOT EXISTS guard. A DB-enforced always-on guard — the correct pattern
  vs a migration verify-hook, which never runs on already-stamped brains.
- schema.sql + pglite-schema.ts (+ regenerated schema-embedded.ts) ship the
  same NAMED inline CHECK so fresh installs match migrated brains and v119
  skips the duplicate.
- op-checkpoint.ts loader: gate the legacy arm on jsonb_typeof = 'array' so
  a scalar parent is skipped (children still load) instead of throwing the
  whole union, and log a specific corruption warning when one is seen.
- tests: CHECK rejects a scalar (exactly one constraint, no blob+migration
  dupe); loader survives a scalar parent and returns the children; v119
  repair converts a scalar to '[]'.

* fix(doctor): report actively-running sync via live lock, not stale freshness

A slow source that makes partial progress every cycle but never fully
completes used to read as permanently "stale" / "never synced" because
last_sync_at only advances on a full successful sync. The naive fix
(treat recent checkpoint banking as "in progress") is unsafe: a blocked
sync banks the good files then writes no anchor, so banking can't tell
in-progress from wedged.

Use the only honest signal: a LIVE, non-expired per-source sync lock
(inspectLock + syncLockId against gbrain_cycle_locks). Every non-skipLock
sync holds it and refreshes it; a blocked/failed sync's process has exited
(no lock row) and a wedged holder stops refreshing (TTL lapses), so either
correctly falls through to the stale path and is NEVER masked. An
actively-syncing source (including a never-synced source doing its first
sync) counts as synced_recently, preserving the pinned 3-bucket invariant.
The lock lookup reuses doctor's existing dynamic db-lock import and swallows
any throw (stub engine, pre-lock-table brain) to false, so it can only ADD
an in-progress verdict, never suppress a real stale one.

Tests (real PGLiteEngine + real lock rows): stale+no-lock -> fail;
stale+live-lock -> ok; never-synced+live-lock -> ok; never-synced+no-lock
-> fail; expired-TTL lock -> fail (wedged not masked); blocked source with
banked checkpoint rows but no lock -> still fail.

* fix(sync): honest --force-break-lock diagnostic when no lock is held

--force-break-lock used to emit the same terse "Lock ... is not held
(nothing to break)" line and exit 0 even when a sync was genuinely wedged,
sending the operator down a dead end — the wedge was not a held lock. Keep
rc=0 (breaking a non-existent lock is idempotently successful; flipping the
exit code would break automation), but under --force say plainly that
nothing was broken and point at the real next step (gbrain sync / gbrain
doctor) plus a `wedge_hint` field in --json output. The non-force path is
byte-for-byte unchanged.

runBreakLock is exported for the test. Tests: force+no-lock -> wedge_hint
JSON + human hint, rc 0; non-force+no-lock -> unchanged terse line, no hint.

* fix(doctor): surface the in-progress sync holder in the freshness message

Plan-completion follow-up to the BUG 4 live-lock signal: when a source is
actively syncing, name the holder (pid + host) in the check message instead
of silently folding it into synced_recently. The note is appended only when
something is in progress, so steady-state messages stay byte-for-byte
unchanged (the pinned exact-message + 3-bucket-invariant tests still pass).

* fix(sync): pre-landing review fixes — monotonic clock seed, scoped CHECK guard

Adversarial (codex) review of the implementation diff caught three:

- P1 (correctness): the fresh-schema setval was not monotonic. initSchema
  replays the schema blob, and the unconditional setval(MAX(generation))
  could move page_generation_clock_seq.last_value BACKWARD on an
  already-upgraded brain, letting a stored query_cache bookmark serve stale
  rows. Seed via GREATEST over the sequence's OWN last_value (+ old table
  value + MAX(generation)) in all 3 fresh schemas and migration v118, so a
  replay is idempotent — mirrors the old table's ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING.
  Pinned by a new monotonic regression test.
- P2: v119's CHECK-exists guard keyed on conname only (not globally unique).
  Scope it to conrelid = 'op_checkpoints'::regclass.
- P3: in-progress note ran into the prior sentence in fail/warn doctor
  messages; separate it with '. '.

* test: make Anthropic/ZE no-key tests hermetic against a dev config key

These "no key" tests cleared only ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / ZEROENTROPY_API_KEY
from the env, but hasAnthropicKey() and checkZeEmbeddingHealth() also read
the key from ~/.gbrain/config.json. On a dev machine whose real config holds
a key, the no-key assertions flipped and the tests failed locally (they
passed only in key-less CI). Add a shared with-env emptyHome() helper and
point GBRAIN_HOME at an empty dir in every no-key path so loadConfig finds
nothing — matching the already-hermetic anthropic-key / gateway-probe tests.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.44.1.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs(key-files): sync doctor + op-checkpoint entries to v0.44.1.0 truth

checkSyncFreshness now reports an actively-running sync via the live
per-source lock (names holder pid+host, counts as synced_recently) instead
of flagging it stale; loadOpCheckpoint gates the legacy union arm on
jsonb_typeof = 'array' so a scalar parent can't take down the whole load,
and migration v119's CHECK constraint makes the corruption class
structurally impossible. Reference docs describe current behavior only —
both entries updated in place, no release-clause appends. Guard + llms
freshness test green.

* chore: re-version to v0.42.51.0 (natural next-off-master)

Maintainer override of the queue allocator's leap to 0.44.1.0 (it jumped past
in-flight sibling PR claims at 0.42.50/0.43.0/0.44.0). Take the natural next
slot in the 0.42.x line above the immediate sibling claim (0.42.50.0); a
merge re-bump resolves any collision if a cathedral PR lands first.

* ci(e2e): bound + retry the OpenClaw install so a transient npm hang can't burn the Tier 2 budget

The Tier 2 (LLM Skills) job failed at 30m16s — the `npm install -g
openclaw@2026.4.9` step hung on a transient npm/registry stall (orphan
`npm install openclaw` was still running at cancel time) and consumed the
entire 30m job budget that v0.42.50.0 (#2254) introduced. The install
normally finishes in under a minute (Tier 2 is ~4m end to end on master),
so this is flaky-install infra, not a test failure.

Wrap the install in `timeout 120` + a 3-attempt retry loop with an 8-minute
step backstop: a hung attempt is killed in 2 min and retried instead of
eating the whole job. Same bound-the-hang philosophy as #2254's job timeouts.

cd8efee0ea v0.41.15.0 feat(sync): --timeout + --max-age + partial status (closes #1472 RFC) (#1506)
* feat(sync): migration v98 last_refreshed_at + deleteLockRowIfStale helper

Schema foundation for v0.41.15.0's `gbrain sync --break-lock --max-age <s>`
flag. Adds `gbrain_cycle_locks.last_refreshed_at TIMESTAMPTZ` as the
heartbeat signal that distinguishes wedged-but-alive lock holders from
healthy long-running syncs that are actively refreshing.

Why last_refreshed_at not acquired_at: `withRefreshingLock` already bumps
`ttl_expires_at` every ~5 min while work runs, but leaves `acquired_at` at
the original timestamp. A 35-min media-corpus sync that's healthy has
`acquired_at` 35 min ago but `last_refreshed_at` 30 seconds ago. Using
acquired_at for --max-age would steal healthy locks; last_refreshed_at
correctly identifies only holders whose JS interval has stopped firing.

D-V4-1 rollout safety: migration v98 backfills `last_refreshed_at = NOW()`
(NOT `= acquired_at`) so pre-upgrade holders running the old binary get a
30-min protection window. After that window all pre-upgrade syncs are
either complete (lock released) OR genuinely wedged (--max-age does the
right thing). Documented as a known caveat in CHANGELOG.

D-V4-mech-4 SQL cast: deleteLockRowIfStale uses `$N * INTERVAL '1 second'`
not `$N::interval` (Postgres does not cast integer to interval the latter
way). Atomic DELETE keyed on (id, holder_pid, last_refreshed_at < NOW() -
$N * INTERVAL '1 second') RETURNING id, last_refreshed_at — no TOCTOU
between inspect + delete.

D-V4-mech-3 schema-snapshot parity: column added to all 3 snapshots so
fresh init paths (pglite-schema.ts, schema.sql) initialize correctly
without depending on the migration runner. schema-embedded.ts regenerated
via `bun run build:schema`.

Pinned by 13 PGLite cases in test/sync-break-lock-all.test.ts:
tryAcquireDbLock writes on INSERT, withRefreshingLock refresh bumps both
columns, inspectLock surfaces the new field, deleteLockRowIfStale refuses
fresh / breaks stale / safe on holder_pid mismatch / refuses NULL
(pre-v98). R1 + R6 regression invariants from the v4 plan.

Closes #1472 (RFC from @garrytan-agents) — schema foundation only;
performSync abort threading + CLI flags + consumer threading land in
follow-up commits in this PR.

* feat(sync): --timeout + --max-age + partial status + per-source AbortController

The CLI surface for v0.41.15.0. Wires `gbrain sync --timeout <s>` (graceful
self-termination) and `gbrain sync --break-lock --all --max-age <s>`
(cron-self-heal) end-to-end through `performSync`, `runOne`, `runBreakLock`,
and all `SyncResult.status` consumers.

Surface 1: `gbrain sync --timeout <s>`
  - New `SyncOpts.signal?: AbortSignal` threads through `performSync` →
    `withRefreshingLock` work callback → `performSyncInner`.
  - D-V3-1 honest scope: abort checks fire ONLY in pre-bookmark phases
    (pull, delete, rename, import). Extract + embed run to completion if
    reached. The `last_commit` bookmark write at sync.ts:1261 is the
    invariant boundary — partial CANNOT advance the bookmark because the
    abort checkpoints sit strictly before that write.
  - D-V3-2 per-iteration: abort check at top of every loop iteration
    (delete, rename, serial import, each parallel worker's while loop)
    matches the per-file granularity the existing loops already have.
  - D-V3-3 per-source AbortController: `--timeout --all` creates ONE
    controller inside runOne per source so each gets its own budget;
    NOT a shared global controller (which would starve later sources).
    try/finally + timer.unref() guarantees cleanup on throw.
  - D-V4-mech-7 pull error.cause: pullRepo wraps execFileSync errors in
    GitOperationError. The catch inspects e.cause.code === 'ETIMEDOUT'
    and e.cause.signal === 'SIGTERM' (NOT the top-level error) to
    distinguish timeout (partial reason='pull_timeout') from ordinary
    pull failure (existing warn-and-continue, R2 invariant preserved).

Surface 2: `gbrain sync --break-lock [--all] [--max-age <s>]`
  - Drops the --all refusal at sync.ts:1610. When combined with --all,
    runBreakLock iterates every active source and prints per-source verdict.
  - --max-age routes through the new deleteLockRowIfStale helper from
    db-lock.ts (atomic age-gated DELETE; no TOCTOU). Healthy refreshing
    holders survive by construction; only wedged-but-alive holders trip.

D-V3-5 partial-status consumer threading (conservative posture matching
blocked_by_failures):
  - printSyncResult: new `case 'partial':` arm reports filesImported +
    reason; tells operator to re-run to continue.
  - manageGitignore (both single-source and parallel runOne sites,
    plus watch mode): excludes partial from the gate. A partial sync's
    db_only path set isn't fully reconciled.
  - Auto-embed-backfill enqueue inside runOne: excludes partial. The
    next clean sync will re-walk and re-decide.

CLI flag parsing (T16):
  - parseDurationSeconds in sync-concurrency.ts: accepts 60s/10m/1h/bare
    int; rejects 0/negatives/decimals/garbage. Names the failing flag in
    the error message.
  - --timeout requires --source OR --all (validation rejects bare
    `gbrain sync --timeout`).
  - --max-age requires --break-lock; mutually exclusive with
    --force-break-lock.

Coverage:
  - 15 unit cases (test/sync-timeout.test.ts) pin parseDurationSeconds +
    SyncResult union additivity.
  - 2 E2E cases (test/e2e/sync-parallel.test.ts) pin the abort-mid-import
    contract against real Postgres: status='partial', last_commit
    unchanged, filesImported bounded.

Closes #1472 (RFC from @garrytan-agents) — CLI surface; schema foundation
landed in the previous commit.

* test(heavy): sync_timeout_rescue.sh reproducer for the cron-cascade

10K-page seed × 4 sources × deliberately tight --timeout × 3 sequential
cron emulations. Asserts every source reaches `last_commit === HEAD`
within 3 waves. Proves the v0.41.15.0 fix breaks the cascade the
PR #1472 RFC documented.

Workload (tests/heavy/_sync_timeout_rescue_workload.ts) is PGLite-only
because the PGLite engine forces serial sync internally (parallelEligible
excludes it). The parallel-fan-out + per-source AbortController case
lives in test/e2e/sync-parallel.test.ts against real Postgres. This
heavy test pins the contract that matters for cron: aborts → partial
returns → next wave content_hash-short-circuits + makes new progress.

Smoke-tested locally at PAGES=50 WAVES=2 TIMEOUT_SECONDS=2: every
source converges within 2 waves.

* docs(v0.41.15.0): CHANGELOG + README + TODOS + version bump

Bumps VERSION + package.json to 0.41.15.0 (next slot after master's
v0.41.14.0). CHANGELOG entry leads ELI10 per gstack voice rules and
documents the 3 intentional honest gaps:
  1. --timeout covers pull + delete + rename + import only; extract +
     embed run to completion (D-V3-1 honest scope).
  2. First 30 min after migration v98, --max-age cannot identify wedged
     pre-upgrade holders (D-V4-1 rollout trade-off).
  3. Full-sync triggers (first sync, --full, chunker-version rewalk)
     don't respect --timeout yet (deferred to v0.42+).

README troubleshooting section: paste-ready cron pattern with shell
timeout(1) for OS-level process isolation + gbrain's --timeout for
graceful self-termination half-a-minute earlier.

TODOS.md: v0.42+ entries for subprocess fan-out (revisit if shell
timeout(1) proves insufficient), full-sync --timeout coverage via
AbortSignal in runImport, and runFactsBackstop microtask-queue
process-alive caveat.

llms-full.txt regenerated via `bun run build:llms`.

Closes #1472 (RFC from @garrytan-agents). Credit to @garrytan-agents
in the CHANGELOG for surfacing the production cron-failure data that
motivated the work.

* fix(test-isolation): rewrite JSDoc to not match mock.module() lint regex

scripts/check-test-isolation.sh greps for the literal string `mock.module(`
to flag top-level module mocks (R2 rule — top-level mocks leak across files
in the shard process). The regex doesn't know about comments, so my two new
test files tripped the lint with JSDoc lines literally describing the rule:

  test/sync-timeout.test.ts:11   "* `mock.module()` (R2). Engine ..."
  test/sync-break-lock-all.test.ts:15  "* mock.module(), no process.env ..."

Both files had ZERO actual mock.module() calls — only the comment text
matched. Rewrote both JSDocs to refer to "top-level module mocks" instead
of the literal token. Same meaning; doesn't trip the regex.

`bun run check:test-isolation` now passes (714 non-serial unit files
scanned). `bun run verify` clean (22/22 checks pass).
