The CRM template seeders (crmEmailTemplates / contractEmailTemplates /
eventReminderTemplates) were idempotent and ready, but only
contractEmailTemplates was actually called (lazily, by contractService
sends). crmEmailTemplates had no caller anywhere — every install that
didn't pre-exist its templates failed every quote_sent / invoice_sent /
storno_issued / invoice_reminder_* send with "Email template '<key>'
not found". The queue processor retries 3 times then leaves the row
in status='pending', retry_count=3, silently dead with no admin
surface (see project_crm_backlog for the eventual System Health page).
Fix: wire all three seeders into server.js startServer() right before
startEmailQueueProcessor. The new _emailTemplateBoot.js orchestrates
all three and then, for any template_key it just inserted, resets
retry_count on stuck email_queue rows of that email_type so the
queue processor's next tick picks them back up. Recovery is targeted:
unrelated retry-exhausted rows (e.g. SMTP-timeout failures) are not
touched.
Integration test boots a fresh CRM DB, pre-seeds a stuck quote_sent
row plus an unrelated stuck row, runs the boot helper, and asserts:
templates landed, stuck quote_sent row was reset, unrelated row was
left alone.
Already-deployed installs heal automatically on the next backend
restart after this lands.
