Pausing an in-progress task never stuck: the pause teardown re-queued the
row to todo with a plain engine move, and the reopen block wiped
paused/pausedByAgentId/pausedReason. The graph-failure classifier then saw
an unpaused row, misread the hard-cancel as an engine-internal abort, and
auto-continued the session (graphResumeRetryCount 1/2, 2/2); once the
budget was exhausted the benign re-queue left the row dispatchable and the
scheduler re-dispatched it seconds later — an indefinite pause/resume
bounce, burning a fresh worktree + pnpm install per cycle.
- store: new moveTask option `preservePause` keeps the pause park across a
reopen-to-todo/triage move (flag-ON trait hook + flag-OFF legacy inline,
kept in sync). It never SETS a pause, only prevents clearing one.
- executor teardown: when the pause that caused the abort is still in
force, move with preservePause so the row lands in todo still parked
(scheduler skips paused/userPaused rows until explicit unpause).
- classifier: a live task pause is labeled operator intent, never
"engine abort during pause/resume"; the benign log now says
"parked … awaiting explicit unpause" instead of the contradictory
"cleared for normal scheduling" for parked rows.
Surfaces covered by tests: flag-ON hook (preserve + never-set + default
clear), classifier no-auto-continue for task-pause/user-pause/global-pause
rows in todo, provenance labels.
