Paul Nothaft 2d403f7fb2 fix(email): wire the settings status card, and cap-aware truncation
Codex review round 4 on #1273.

Settings → Status rendered a green check for the email processor
unconditionally, against an API field that was itself the literal 'active'.
Both ends were lying and only one of them got fixed: adminSystem started
reporting the real state in an earlier commit, but StatusTab never read it, so
the second place an admin looks to find out why mail is not arriving still said
everything was fine. It now shows stopped and degraded, with the reason.

The truncation flag missed the case it most needed to cover. The loop broke on
the 200-row report cap before the flag could be set, so 201+ overdue rows came
back as exactly 200 with scanTruncated false -- a partial report presented as
complete. It is now set whenever rows were left unexamined.

The grace-window comment claimed the processor clears ~6000 rows inside the
window. It clears on the order of 100: ten rows a pass, one pass a minute. The
comment now says so, and says why the processor's own state is reported above
the list rather than inferred from it -- "running, last pass sent 10" next to a
backlog reads very differently from "not running" next to the same backlog.

One round-4 finding is NOT fixed, deliberately, and is written up at the retry
route. Clearing scheduled_at leaves created_at at the original enqueue time, so
a retried old row appears in the waiting list immediately, looking overdue,
until the processor sends it. Restarting that clock needs a timestamp written
there and no shape works: a Date matches how queueEmail writes the column and
how processEmailQueue compares it, but jest's sandbox Dates store as
"[object Object]" (CLAUDE.md) so it cannot be tested; an ISO string tests fine
but stores as TEXT, which SQLite then orders above the numeric bound in the
processor's own pickup query, leaving the row unsendable. A requeued_at column
would settle it. Cosmetic either way, and not worth risking a stuck row.

1 more test, failing before this commit.

Paul Nothaft 4deac229ac fix(email): make waiting rows read-only, and time the grace from when due
Codex review round 3 on #1273. The first finding reverses a round-1 fix of
mine, correctly.

Retry no longer sends. Round 1 flagged that retry was a no-op for waiting rows
and offered two remedies: give them a send-now action, or stop showing them
Retry. I took the first, and round 3 showed why it is the wrong half --
processEmailQueue claims nothing before invoking the transport, so a flush
overlapping the scheduled pass has both of them sending the same email. Saving
60 seconds is not worth a duplicate landing in a customer's inbox, and a claim
protocol would need a status no query watches plus a reaper for rows abandoned
mid-send. So retry is a reset again, as it was on main.

Waiting rows now carry no actions at all, which is the other half of that
round-1 remedy and closes a worse hole the shared table opened: Dismiss DELETEs
the queue row. Those emails have not failed and still go out once the processor
recovers, so clicking the tidy-up icon on a health warning silently cancelled a
customer's mail. The section is diagnostic; what a waiting row needs is the
processor fixed, which the panel above it now says.

The grace window runs from when a row became DUE, not from when it was queued.
A split-payment invoice created three days ago and scheduled until a minute ago
has had one minute of the processor's attention, and measuring from created_at
reported every scheduled mail as unworked the instant it came due -- which is
most of what this panel would then have been showing.

A truncated scan can no longer read as an all-clear. The scan is bounded, so a
queue larger than the budget whose head is all future-scheduled can hide a due
row past the last page read; the response now says so and the UI withholds the
green check.

The test fixtures were wrong in a way worth keeping: scheduled_at also defaults
to CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, so back-dating created_at alone built rows that cannot
exist in production -- old, but scheduled for the moment the fixture ran. The
helper now back-dates both, as the database would have.

3 more tests; the two that pin new behaviour fail before this commit, and the
reverted flush is pinned by asserting the transport is NOT invoked.

Paul Nothaft 98aa06aeff fix(email): read naive SQLite timestamps as UTC, and page the candidates
Codex review round 2 on #1273. Both findings restore the false all-clear that
round 1 set out to remove, by different routes.

Both timestamp columns default to CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, which SQLite renders as a
zone-less 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' in UTC -- and Date.parse reads that shape as
LOCAL time. On a TZ=America/New_York deployment a row due now looked four hours
away and never reached the waiting list; nine hours the other way, fresh mail
read as long overdue. The parser now stamps the zone the value actually
carries.

That parser moved to utils/queueTimestamps so it can be tested honestly. This
suite runs in UTC, where reading a zone-less value as local and as UTC give the
same answer, and process.env.TZ does not reliably re-bind mid-process -- my
first attempt at these tests passed against the broken code for exactly that
reason. They now force TZ in a child process, so they fail on any host.

The candidate rows are paged rather than cut off with one LIMIT. The time
filter runs in JS, so a queue holding more than a page of future-scheduled rows
-- split-payment invoices are exactly that shape -- filled the window with rows
that all got filtered out and hid the due row behind them, reporting nothing
waiting. Paging also drops the dependency on ORDER BY created_at meaning
anything, which it does not on SQLite once numeric and text timestamps mix.
Bounded at 10k scanned; past that the response is a sample, which the 200-row
cap already made it.

12 more tests. The paging one fails before this commit, and all four
naive-timestamp ones fail against the old parsing on any host.

Paul Nothaft 89db469f06 fix(email): compare queue timestamps in JS, and make retry actually send
Codex review round 1 on #1273. One of the four is a real bug on every SQLite
deployment.

The waiting-row query compared `created_at` against a bound ISO string. On
SQLite that column does not hold a string: queueEmail writes a JS Date and the
native binding stores epoch ms, and SQLite orders INTEGER before TEXT
regardless of value -- so the comparison was true for EVERY row. Mail queued a
second ago read as ten minutes overdue, and a scheduled_at years in the future
read as already due. Confirmed directly against sqlite3: a 2026 row matches
`created_at <= '2020-01-01T00:00:00.000Z'`.

Binding a Date instead is not the fix, since knex hands sqlite3 a Date the same
way and jest's sandbox Dates stringify to "[object Object]" (CLAUDE.md). So the
engine-safe half of the predicate stays in SQL and the two time comparisons
move into JS behind a toMillis() that accepts all three shapes this column
really has -- Date from Postgres, ms-number from SQLite, ISO string from
fixtures and older rows. The scan is capped at 1000 pending rows ordered
oldest-first; everything overdue sorts into that window, and the response was
already capped at 200. The existing tests missed this because they store ISO
strings, which is what CLAUDE.md prescribes for jest -- so the new ones store
epoch ms, the production shape, and one mixes both in a single queue.

Retry was a no-op for the rows it most needed to help. It wrote pending /
retry_count 0 / no schedule, which is exactly what a waiting row already is:
the row came back unchanged while the toast said it had been re-queued. And
since the usual reason a row is waiting is that nothing is working the queue,
deferring it to the next pass is the one answer that cannot help. It now
follows the reset with the same single-row flush the project cockpit uses.

An idle pass no longer inherits the previous pass's totals -- the no-pending
early return skipped the lastResult assignment, so System Health kept
attributing an old sent/failed count to a run that did nothing.

"All clear" now means the whole queue is clear, which is what the PR claimed
and the code did not do. An empty waiting list is only reassuring when
something is working the queue: a processor stopped a minute ago has no overdue
rows yet either, and a green check there is the same false all-clear this
branch exists to remove.

7 more tests. The 5 that pin new behaviour fail before this commit; the SQLite
ones fail in the way the bug predicts rather than erroring.

Both new tests stub the webhook transport with a spy rather than pointing it at
a dead port: real connection attempts left open handles that destabilised
unrelated suites in the same jest worker.

Paul Nothaft 73d867521a fix(email): show a queue nobody is working instead of reporting all-clear
Closes #1262.

"Gallery email queued" reads as a delivery confirmation, and System Health
agreed with it: "No stuck or failed emails -- all clear", while not one email
had gone out.

Both statements were true and neither was the one the admin needed. Queueing
writes an email_queue row at status='pending', retry_count 0 -- nothing more.
/failures matched only status='failed' or pending-with-retry_count>=3, so it
matched none of those rows, and there are two ordinary ways they never leave
that state:

- startEmailQueueProcessor() was never reached, so nothing polls the queue.
- Every pass returns early. processEmailQueue bails when the transporter will
  not initialise, before it touches a single row, so retry_count stays 0 and
  no error_message is ever written. A working SMTP test button does not
  contradict this: that path builds its own transport.

adminSystem.js made it worse by reporting `emailProcessor: { status: 'active' }`
as a literal, so the one place that named the worker always said it was fine.

- emailProcessor records what each pass did -- started, lastRunAt, lastResult,
  lastError -- and exports getQueueProcessorStatus(). The transporter bail and
  the queue-query failure, the two silent early returns, both write lastError.
- /failures gains `waitingEmails`: pending, under the retry cap, past any
  scheduled_at, and queued more than 10 minutes ago. The predicate mirrors the
  processor's own pickup query, so a row listed there is one it should already
  have taken; rows over the cap stay in `stuckEmails` and are not counted
  twice. A future scheduled_at is left alone -- split-payment invoices and the
  business-hours floor park rows deliberately.
- System Health leads with the processor's state (running / stopped /
  degraded) and lists waiting emails in their own table. The all-clear now
  needs both buckets empty.
- adminSystem reports the real processor state instead of the literal.
- The two "queued" toasts say the queue processor is what sends it and where
  to look if it doesn't arrive.

8 route tests, all 8 failing before the change.
