Agentflare item 698 (not GitHub PR/issue 698).

The supervisor kept working items after their PR had shipped (observed on items 687, 695, 696: roughly 10 wasted jobs).

Changes

• Dead-claim re-queue (claim_liveness.rs): before re-arming a released item, look at its PR. A merged PR (or one with auto-merge armed) is not re-dispatched; a merged one is promoted through promote_merged_item. The PR lookup happens before the backend DB lock is taken (confirmed_dead_items), never inside it.
• Promotion cancels jobs: promote_verified_merged_item cancels the item's queued/running jobs, so a job queued before the merge no longer runs after it.
• CodeRabbit repair: a merged PR never triggers repair. A thread whose head commit is newer than the review is treated as fixed. A dispatched round whose job is gone goes back out (the in-flight guard is kept), so a dead repair job cannot strand a thread.
• started-state promotion: promote_in_review_to_completed_if_pr also completes a started item, but only on the verified-merged path and only for the PR that was checked. The unconditional promote stays in_review-only.

Deliberately not changed

• Armed auto-merge does not suppress repair. merge_or_repair_findings disarms it and repairs, so a PR with real unresolved findings is never left with nobody working on it and never merged untouched (item 628).
• The "open PR on the item's own branch is not adopted / 422" symptom was already fixed by chore: item done opens a duplicate PR when the branch's merged PR was hand-opened (no item marker) #861 and fix(discovery): attach a PR to the item that owns its branch instead of minting a duplicate item #852.
• No change to the review-before-merge or CI-green gates; PR chore: Repair dispatch adopts the item's unfinished run: turn launches under a dead claim owner and with the original task prompt #846's adopt/owner-rebind logic is untouched.

Tests

• promote_if_pr_completes_a_started_item_but_only_on_the_verified_pr
• unresolved_thread_dispatched_this_round_waits_while_its_job_still_runs
• unresolved_thread_dispatched_this_round_goes_back_out_once_its_job_is_gone
• armed_auto_merge_with_green_checks_still_repairs_unresolved_findings
• dead-claim promote tests in claim_liveness_tests.rs

Local: fmt clean, clippy (-D warnings -A unsafe_code -A clippy::pedantic --all-targets) clean, 290 supervisor/claim/item tests and 6 backend promote tests pass.

Follow-up: cancelled CI run on adc9355 (2026-10-06)

The Actions API lookup using the full head SHA adc9355847d1e98fcfe79bb0cca6f1997d1586de found ci run 37353686716, created 2026-10-05 18:08:22 UTC and completed cancelled at 18:21:39 UTC. The same head had successful security checks, but no required build/clippy/fmt contexts in the PR rollup. This is a cancelled or superseded CI run, not a never-triggered run; the available record does not identify what cancelled it. The later empty commit (86402353) produced the required checks.
