Module reaper 

The supervision reaper — moves abandoned Running tasks to a terminal state from OUTSIDE the task body, which the flat-file design could never do.

Two entry points, both modelled on the ACP idle-reaper (zeroclaw_channels::orchestrator::acp_server — interval(60s) + lock-aware skip):

• recovery_pass — a one-shot sweep at boot that reclaims prior-boot orphans.
• reaper_loop — the periodic sweep that also times out the daemon’s own hung tasks.

Safety: reclamation goes through TaskRegistry::reconcile_lost, which itself enforces super::authority::is_authoritative — a live same-boot owner’s heart-beating task is never reclaimed (the split-brain guard).

Constants

DEFAULT_MAX_RUNTIME_SECS

Default grace before a same-boot task with a stale/absent heartbeat is timed out.

REAP_INTERVAL

How often the periodic sweep runs.

Functions

reaper_loop

recovery_pass

One-shot crash-recovery sweep: reclaim every Running record left behind by a PRIOR boot. Safe to run at every startup — same-boot records are not yet present (this runs before the reaper spawns) and the authority guard protects any that are. Returns the number of records reclaimed.

sweep

A single sweep — separated for direct unit testing.
