* fix(automations): stop tick latency counting against the missed-run grace The scheduler compared wall-clock lateness straight against the grace budget, but evaluation runs on a fixed 60s interval that is never aligned to an occurrence. With grace 0, any tick arriving after the scheduled instant -- in practice every tick -- recorded skipped_missed and told the user "Orca was unavailable during the missed-run grace window" while Orca had been up the whole time. A zero-grace automation effectively never ran. Grace is a downtime catch-up budget. An occurrence that came due while the scheduler was running was never missed; it is waiting for the next tick. The service now tracks continuous availability and only charges lateness to grace for occurrences that came due while it was stopped. Downtime behaviour is unchanged, and the new test asserts that half too. The missed-run branch moved to dispatch-refusal.ts, which already owns non-dispatch outcomes, keeping service.ts under max-lines without a disable. Fixes #11299 * fix(automations): use a tick-latency tolerance instead of process liveness Review caught two real defects in the first cut: - availableSince is process liveness, not continuous execution. A suspended process (system sleep) keeps its start time, so an occurrence that came due during a multi-hour sleep skipped the grace check entirely and replayed on wake -- exactly the downtime case grace exists for. - The restart edge: an occurrence due after the last tick but before stop() was reclassified as downtime and skipped with zero grace. Elapsed lateness cannot be faked by suspension and needs no restart bookkeeping, so the budget is now grace + two tick intervals. Both edges disappear rather than being special-cased. Also fixes a hollow test: workspaceId 'wt1' has no worktree separator, so the target refused and the run recorded skipped_unavailable -- a 'not skipped_missed' assertion passed without ever dispatching. Tests now use a valid id and assert 'dispatching' directly, and cover the sleep, tolerance boundary and restart cases. * fix(automations): scope to the verified tolerance and document the stall gap Review found three defects, all real: - The 'as never' cast failed the changed-code casting gate. AutomationRendererChannel is a Pick<> precisely so a test can pass the real shape; cast removed. - The restart test never restarted: evaluateAt advanced 60s internally, so the first pass already dispatched and the second was a no-op. It now evaluates exactly once and asserts no run exists before the second pass. - tickMs * 2 does not bound a pass that holds the re-entrancy guard across a slow serve-mode dispatch. I tried a busy-window fix for the third and could not test it honestly -- the case needs a genuinely slow in-pass dispatch, and both attempts passed with the fix disabled. Rather than ship logic I cannot prove, the tolerance stays at the verified shape and the gap is documented where the next reader will find it, with the reason 'time since last pass' is the wrong bound (a suspended process runs no passes either). Not a regression: on main that automation never ran at all. * fix(automations): name the check for what it does and correct its message Two review points, both fair: - missedDuringDowntime consulted nothing about availability once the liveness flag was removed; it is elapsed lateness against grace plus tolerance. Renamed missedBeyondGrace so callers read the real contract. - The run error still claimed 'Orca was unavailable' -- the same false statement #11299 was filed about, now reachable for a genuinely late run rather than a merely tick-delayed one. It states what was actually observed instead. Also documented the deliberate trade CodeRabbit raised: elapsed lateness cannot tell a short outage from a late tick, so a zero-grace run due during an outage shorter than the tolerance dispatches instead of skipping. The alternative got the far worse case wrong -- a multi-hour sleep replayed on wake.
