Four cross-cutting fixes that make the bulk-import worker safe to run
under real production load. All four were called out as live-rollout
risks in the post-ship review of docs/plans/articles-bulk-import.md.
#1 — Same fieldMetaTime bug fixed in mana-ai
The articles fix in 054b9e5be hoists the helper to its own file
`apps/api/src/modules/articles/field-meta.ts`. The same naive
`rowFM[k] >= localTime` LWW comparison existed in three more
projections under services/mana-ai (missions-projection,
snapshot-refresh, agents-projection). Once any F3 stamp lands
beside a legacy-string stamp, the comparison evaluates
`'[object Object]' >= 'ISO-…'` (false) and the older value wins.
New `services/mana-ai/src/db/field-meta.ts` — same helper,
deliberately duplicated (each service treats sync_changes as a
read-only event log; sharing infra across services is out of
scope here). All 61 mana-ai bun tests still pass.
#2 — Stale 'extracting' items recycle
If the worker dies mid-fetch (OOM, pod restart), items stay in
state='extracting' forever and the job never completes. New sweep
at the start of `processOneJob`: items whose lastAttemptAt is
older than 5 minutes get bounced back to 'pending' so the next
tick re-claims them. STALE_EXTRACTING_MS tuned for the 15s
shared-rss fetch + JSDOM-parse worst case.
#3 — Pickup-row GC
Every 30 ticks (~once per minute) the worker hard-deletes
articleExtractPickup rows older than 24h. Without this a stuck
pickup-consumer (all tabs closed, Web-Lock mismatch) would let
sync_changes accumulate without bound. Logs the row count when
non-zero so we can spot stuck consumers in the wild.
#4 — DRY consent-wall heuristic
Identical CONSENT_KEYWORDS + threshold lived in routes.ts AND
import-extractor.ts. Hoisted to
`apps/api/src/modules/articles/consent-wall.ts`; both call sites
now share one heuristic.
