-// Memory retrospective — job handler.
-// ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-//
-// Re-reads the conversation messages added since the last successful
-// retrospective run and wakes the assistant with an instruction to call
-// `remember` on anything worth saving that wasn't captured in the moment.
-//
-// The run forks the source conversation through its latest message, persists
-// a user-role retrospective instruction at the tail, and wakes the fork. The
-// fork inherits the source's compaction state (summary + tail messages) via
-// the `forkConversation` machinery, so the agent reads the conversation
-// natively — including its own in-the-moment `remember` calls, which appear
-// inline as `tool_use` blocks and need no re-listing.
-//
-// `<already_remembered>` is sourced from the cumulative `rememberedLog`
-// persisted on the source conversation's state row — each successful pass
-// appends its own `remember` contents (capped; see
-// `memory-retrospective-state.ts`), so the dedup window spans every pass the
-// cap retains, and survives GC of superseded retrospective conversations.
-// State rows that predate the log column fall back to scanning the MOST
-// RECENT prior retrospective background conversation rooted at the source
-// conversation (linked via `forkParentConversationId`).
-//
-// Two pointers move under different rules — see `memory-retrospective-state.ts`
-// and the plan for details.
-//
-//   - `lastProcessedMessageId` advances ONLY on `result.invoked === true`.
-//     Wake failures keep it unchanged so the next attempt re-processes the
-//     same messages. This is the load-bearing correctness invariant.
-//   - `lastRunAt` advances on EVERY job end (success or failure) via a
-//     `try/finally` write, so the per-conversation cooldown gate applies to
-//     subsequent trigger-driven enqueues.
-//
-// Daemon crash recovery: `resetRunningJobsToPending` (in jobs-store.ts) flips
-// crashed `running` rows back to `pending` at startup. The orphan background
-// conversations left by a mid-run crash are swept by
-// `memory-retrospective-startup-cleanup.ts`.
