fix(heartbeat): throttle redundant issue re-wakes (#9470)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source control plane people use to coordinate
AI agents and their work
> - Heartbeat admission decides when an agent should start another
adapter session for an issue
> - After process-loss recovery, assignment pollers and reconcilers can
repeatedly request another wake while the issue remains `in_progress`
> - When the preceding runs succeeded without issue-visible progress,
those event-free wakes provide no new information but still pay the full
cost of an adapter session
> - Existing liveness evidence is too broad for this case because
workspace tool calls can make a run look active without moving the issue
> - This pull request adds an issue-scoped admission throttle for
consecutive no-progress re-wakes while preserving every wake that
carries new information or recovery intent
> - The benefit is bounded recovery cost without delaying comments,
operator actions, failures, or other meaningful events

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

No public GitHub issue exists for this bug.

**What happened?**

After a process died, external wake drivers could re-wake the same agent
for the same `in_progress` issue every few seconds. Each succeeded run
that produced no issue-visible progress could be followed by another
full adapter session despite no new issue input. In the observed
recovery smoke, one recovery consumed 25 sessions and 2.4× the
direct-run cost.

**Expected behavior**

Repeated event-free re-wakes should back off after consecutive
successful runs produce no issue-visible progress. Any new information,
explicit operator intent, or failed-run recovery should continue
immediately.

**Steps to reproduce**

1. Start an issue heartbeat and simulate process loss while the issue
remains `in_progress`.
2. Allow assignment/reconciliation drivers to request repeated
event-free wakes for the same agent and issue.
3. Complete each follow-up run successfully without adding a comment,
issue mutation, document, work product, interaction, or continuation.
4. Observe repeated adapter sessions starting every few seconds without
new issue input.

**Environment**

- Version: reproduced on `master` before this change
- Deployment: local development, built from source
- Adapter scope: core bug; not adapter-specific
- Database: reproduced and tested with embedded Postgres

## What Changed

- Add a pure issue re-wake throttle that detects consecutive succeeded
runs without issue-visible progress and applies a 120-second exponential
cooldown capped at 30 minutes.
- Gate event-free `enqueueWakeup` requests and return the explicit skip
reason `issue_rewake_throttled` while the cooldown is active.
- Always bypass throttling for comment wakes, new issue activity,
explicit resumes, `forceFreshSession`, event-shaped reasons, and
post-failure recovery.
- Add focused pure unit coverage and database-backed heartbeat admission
coverage for throttle and bypass behavior.

## Verification

- `cd server && pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/issue-rewake-throttle.test.ts` — 12 passed.
- `cd server && pnpm vitest run
src/__tests__/heartbeat-issue-rewake-throttle.test.ts` — 6 passed with
embedded Postgres.
- `cd server && pnpm run typecheck` — passed.
- Neighbor suites previously verified:
`heartbeat-dependency-scheduling`, `heartbeat-process-recovery`,
`run-continuations`, `heartbeat-issue-liveness-escalation`,
`recovery-stale-issue-lock-sweep`, and `heartbeat-comment-wake-batching`
— 131 tests passed.

## Risks

- A progress classifier that is too narrow could defer a legitimate
event-free poll; the cooldown is bounded and new issue activity bypasses
it immediately.
- A progress classifier that is too broad could allow the original
heartbeat storm; tests intentionally distinguish issue-visible mutations
from workspace-only activity.
- Low compatibility risk: no schema, API contract, or migration changes.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex coding agent. The runtime does not expose the exact
underlying model ID or context-window size; reasoning, terminal tool
use, code inspection, GitHub CLI access, and test execution were
enabled.

links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip`
URLs)

internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details
- [x] I have run tests locally and they pass
- [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable

*
* After a process death (or any stall), external drivers assignment pollers,
* stranded-issue reconcilers, on-demand invokes can re-wake the same agent
* for the same issue every few seconds for as long as the issue stays
* `in_progress`. When each of those runs ends without changing any
* issue-visible state, every wake pays a full adapter session for zero new
* information (the Phase 4 interruption-recovery smoke paid 25 sessions and
* 2.4x cost for one recovery this way).
*
* This module decides when such a wake should be skipped: once an issue has
* accumulated a streak of consecutive succeeded-but-no-issue-progress runs by
* the same agent, further event-free wakes are held back for an escalating
* cooldown anchored to the last run's finish time. Any genuinely new input
* a comment wake, fresh issue activity, an explicit resume, forceFreshSession,
* or an event-carrying wake reason bypasses the throttle entirely.
*
* Server-side recovery retries (process-loss retries, missing-comment
* follow-ups) insert their runs directly and never pass through this gate, so
* crash recovery stays immediate; only repeated no-op re-invocations slow
* down.
