+// delegation_ledger.go — durable per-task ledger for A2A delegation
+// (RFC #2829 PR-1).
+//
+// activity_logs is an event stream — one row per state transition. Replaying
+// the stream gives you history. This file's table (delegations) is the
+// folded current state — one row per delegation_id with a single status,
+// last_heartbeat, deadline, and result_preview.
+//
+// Why both: PR-3 needs a sweeper that joins on
+//   (status='in_progress' AND last_heartbeat < now() - interval '10 minutes')
+// which is impossible to express against the event stream without a window
+// function over every (delegation_id, latest event) pair — a planner-killing
+// query at scale. The dedicated table makes the sweeper an indexed scan.
+//
+// Writes go to BOTH tables. activity_logs remains the audit-grade record
+// for forensics; delegations is the queryable view for dashboards + sweeper
+// joins. Symmetric-write pattern — same posture as tenant_resources (PR
+// #2343), per memory `reference_tenant_resources_audit`.
+
+// DelegationLedger writes the per-task durable row alongside the existing
+// activity_logs event-stream writes. All methods are best-effort: a ledger
+// write failure logs but does NOT propagate up — activity_logs remains the
+// audit-grade source of truth.
+//
+// Same shape as `tenant_resources` reconciler (PR #2343): orchestration
+// continues even when the ledger write fails, and the next status update
+// (or PR-3 reconciler) will heal the ledger.

+-- RFC #2829 PR-1: durable delegations ledger.
+--
+-- Today, delegation state is reconstructed by GROUPing activity_logs rows
+-- by delegation_id and ORDER BY created_at DESC. Three problems:
+--
+--   1. No queryable "what is currently in flight for this workspace" — every
+--      caller has to fold the event stream itself.
+--   2. No place to durably stamp last_heartbeat / deadline on a per-task
+--      basis, so a stuck-task sweeper has nothing to scan.
+--   3. The 600s message/send proxy timeout (the user's 2026-05-05 home-hermes
+--      iteration-14/90 incident) leaves the in-flight HTTP connection holding
+--      all the state — caller restart, callee restart, proxy timeout all kill
+--      the delegation. activity_logs can replay the *intent* but not the
+--      *current state* without the row that says "yes this is still alive".
+--
+-- This table is the durable ledger that PRs #2-#4 build on:
+--   PR-2 — push result to caller's inbox + use this row to track readiness
+--   PR-3 — sweeper joins on (status='in_progress', last_heartbeat<now-N)
+--   PR-4 — operator dashboard reads SELECT * WHERE status NOT IN ('completed','failed')
+--
+-- Delegation lifecycle:
+--   queued     — caller recorded intent, target unreachable / busy queue
+--   dispatched — A2A request sent to target's HTTP server
+--   in_progress — target acknowledged + started work
+--   completed  — terminal: result delivered to caller
+--   failed     — terminal: gave up after retries
+--   stuck      — terminal-ish: sweeper couldn't reach target for >threshold;
