The bug (seen live): a teacher that ends every turn with a new pending quiz
keeps the wake pipeline's idle gates permanently closed — the steer sits in
'delivering result' forever while the learner answers check after check.
- claimSteers (server/jobs.ts): the chat-handler claims every queued,
undelivered steer the instant a client turn wins the turn registry, and
appends it after the learner's answer — conversion-safe, the answered
quiz carries its output. Every answer flushes pending steers immediately.
- The pump keeps its post-idle duplicate-guard (re-check steerDelivered
before firing), so a claim racing the pump converges to exactly one
delivery either way.
- The stale-job sweep now skips chats with a turn in flight (a healthy but
slow wake no longer gets falsely re-queued as 'recovering').
- Out-of-lane surgical touch (flagged for master review): the 3-line
handleChatRequest seam (claim after beginTurn, persist+stream 'outgoing').
- Verified live end-to-end on the stuck session: answering the pending quiz
fired the steer + wake turn within a second; job flipped done/delivered.
Purely mechanical: src/core/contracts/{plan,graph,chat,jobs}.ts carry the
sections verbatim (graph = nodes + ledgers + extraction findings; jobs =
the async ack-and-steer protocol + tool results + demo bridge), and
contracts.ts becomes a re-exporting barrel so every existing import path
(@/src/core and ./contracts.ts) is unchanged.
Wave-2 lane ownership follows the split: the graph stream owns
contracts/graph.ts, the teacher stream owns contracts/jobs.ts — same-file
contract collisions between streams are structurally impossible now;
cross-domain schema changes go through master.
