+//
+// When the daemon crashes mid-retrospective, the bootstrapped background
+// conversation lingers in the `conversations` table (and possibly the
+// `messages` table) as an orphan. The jobs-store recovery
+// (`resetRunningJobsToPending`) handles re-running the job, which bootstraps
+// a NEW background conversation — but the previous one is never deleted
+// because the original handler's cleanup path didn't get a chance to run.
+//
+// This module sweeps those orphans on daemon startup. Run AFTER
+// `resetRunningJobsToPending` so legitimate in-flight retries (which are
+// represented by their pending job row, not by a memory-retrospective
+// conversation directly) aren't swept.
+//
+// Sweep predicate:
+//   - `source = "memory-retrospective"`, AND
+//   - `last_message_at < now - 1 hour` (so a freshly-running job's
+//     conversation isn't swept on a startup that happens to race),
+//   - AND no pending OR running `memory_retrospective` job exists. (The
+//     orphan background conversation references the SOURCE conversation
+//     via the wake hint; if a job exists for that source, the background
+//     conversation might be the active one. We're conservative and only
+//     sweep when no job exists at all, since the worst-case false-positive
+//     is leaving a few extra orphans for the next sweep to catch.)
+//   - AND the row is NOT the most-recent retrospective for its source
+//     conversation. The next retrospective run reads the most-recent prior
+//     retro via `findMostRecentRetrospectiveFor` to seed its
+//     `<already_remembered>` dedup block; sweeping it would force the
