* fix(orchestration): let a worker start helpers on the Run it works for A dispatched worker could only start helper workers by taking a coordinator seat on a new Run, and taking a seat moved its inbox. worker-start now also accepts a worker on an active Dispatch: its helpers run in the same Run, report to it (worker_done, heartbeat, escalation, status, ask), and it answers their questions. The worker's own mailbox never moves. When it settles, whatever its helpers sent that it never handled goes to the Run's coordinator. Authority comes from the worker's own Dispatch, re-checked inside the reservation transaction. Helpers are fresh agents on this host; a worker may retry only its own helper's latest attempt. Remote workers keep the old own-Run instructions. No saved field or wire change. * fix(orchestration): read helper rows without type assertions * fix(orchestration): hand a settled helper creator's mail to the Run as live delivery When a worker that started helpers settled, its helpers' unhandled mail was re-addressed to the Run by settlement SQL alone. Nothing woke the Run's coordinator, delivered rows kept their old delivery stamp so pointers and the restart scan skipped them, payload-free status reports were left behind because selection required payload.dispatchId, and a question asked while the creator was being stopped stayed with the stopped creator. - Select handed-back mail by its recipient mailbox and Run (unread reports plus pending questions, even ones already read), reset delivery and pointer state on the moved rows, and fence the old mailbox's Deliveries. - After the settling transaction ends, the runtime re-reads exactly the moved rows and wakes the Run with their real types; a rollback wakes no one and a failure falls back to the existing repoint retry. Restart recovery is the existing unread-undelivered scan. - Hand mail back again at the final stop settlement, which also closes the stopped Dispatch's own questions asked during the stop. - A worker_done receipt replay re-offers the handed-back targets. - Scope markAsDelivered to the mailbox it pointed, so a late pointer stamp from the old owner cannot hide mail now owned by the Run. * test(orchestration): drop an unused inbox type * fix(orchestration): read only the Run when handing a settled worker's mail back Every settlement runs the hand-back, so a full dispatch row read there added a statement per settlement. Also expect the mailbox-scoped delivered stamp in two delivery tests from main. * fix(orchestration): re-offer handed-back Run mail on every worker_done replay A helper creator's worker_done hands its helpers' unread reports and pending questions to the Run. The send stored the Run's extra wake targets in the mutation receipt, but the executor rewrites that receipt on completion and on each replay, so an identical retry only woke the original destination. Derive the targets at replay time instead: for the settled Dispatch (when it has same-Run helpers), notify run:<id> for each type of unread report or pending question there. Notification only; nothing is re-settled or inserted. The receipt augmentation is removed. * style(orchestration): format with the formatter version main now pins
