Periodically scans the `delegations` table (PR-1 schema) for in-flight
rows that need terminal action:
1. Deadline-exceeded → marked `failed` with "deadline exceeded by sweeper"
2. Heartbeat-stale (no beat for >10× heartbeat interval) → marked `stuck`
## Why both rules
Deadline catches forever-heartbeating wedged agents (the alive-but-not-
advancing class — agent loops on heartbeat call inside its main loop).
Heartbeat-staleness catches OOM-killed and crashed agents that stop cold
without graceful shutdown. Either rule alone misses one of these classes.
## Order matters
Deadline is checked first. A deadline-exceeded AND stale row is marked
`failed` (operator action: investigate + give up), not `stuck` (operator
action: investigate + retry). The semantic difference matters.
## NULL heartbeat is a free pass
A delegation that's just been inserted but hasn't emitted its first
heartbeat yet is NOT stuck-marked — gives the agent its first beat
window. Lets the deadline catch true never-started rows naturally.
## Concurrent-completion safety
Sweep races with UpdateStatus on a delegation that just completed: the
ledger's terminal forward-only protection (PR-1) returns ErrInvalidTransition,
sweeper logs + counts in Errors, the row stays correctly in completed.
## Configuration
- DELEGATION_SWEEPER_INTERVAL_S — tick cadence (default 5min)
- DELEGATION_STUCK_THRESHOLD_S — heartbeat-staleness threshold (default 10min)
Both fall back gracefully on invalid input (typo'd env shouldn't crash
startup). Both read at construction time so a long-running process
picks up overrides via restart.
## Wiring
NOT wired into main.go in this PR — that ships separately so the
sweeper can be enabled/disabled independently of the binary upgrade.
The sweeper is a standalone Sweep(ctx) callable + Start(ctx) ticker
loop, both with panic recovery, both indexed-scan-cheap on the
partial idx_delegations_inflight_heartbeat from PR-1.
## Coverage
13 unit tests against sqlmock-backed *sql.DB:
Sweep semantics (8 tests):
- empty in-flight set → clean no-op
- deadline → failed
- heartbeat-stale → stuck
- NULL heartbeat is left alone (first-beat free pass)
- healthy row → no-op
- both-rule row → marked failed (deadline wins)
- mixed set → both rules fire on the right rows
- concurrent-completion race → forward-only protection holds
Env override parsing (5 tests):
- default on missing env
- parses positive seconds
- falls back on garbage
- falls back on negative
- constructor picks up overrides; defaults when env unset
