Dotta 1266954a4e [codex] Make heartbeat scheduling blocker-aware (#4157)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents through issue-driven heartbeats,
checkouts, and wake scheduling.
> - This change sits in the server heartbeat and issue services that
decide which queued runs are allowed to start.
> - Before this branch, queued heartbeats could be selected even when
their issue still had unresolved blocker relationships.
> - That let blocked descendant work compete with actually-ready work
and risked auto-checking out issues that were not dependency-ready.
> - This pull request teaches the scheduler and checkout path to consult
issue dependency readiness before claiming queued runs.
> - It also exposes dependency readiness in the agent inbox so agents
can see which assigned issues are still blocked.
> - The result is that heartbeat execution follows the DAG of blocked
dependencies instead of waking work out of order.

## What Changed

- Added `IssueDependencyReadiness` helpers to `issueService`, including
unresolved blocker lookup for single issues and bulk issue lists.
- Prevented issue checkout and `in_progress` transitions when unresolved
blockers still exist.
- Made heartbeat queued-run claiming and prioritization dependency-aware
so ready work starts before blocked descendants.
- Included dependency readiness fields in `/api/agents/me/inbox-lite`
for agent heartbeat selection.
- Added regression coverage for dependency-aware heartbeat promotion and
issue-service participation filtering.

## Verification

- `pnpm run preflight:workspace-links`
- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/heartbeat-dependency-scheduling.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/issues-service.test.ts`
- On this host, the Vitest command passed, but the embedded-Postgres
portions of those files were skipped because
`@embedded-postgres/darwin-x64` is not installed.

## Risks

- Scheduler ordering now prefers dependency-ready runs, so any hidden
assumptions about strict FIFO ordering could surface in edge cases.
- The new guardrails reject checkout or `in_progress` transitions for
blocked issues; callers depending on the old permissive behavior would
now get `422` errors.
- Local verification did not execute the embedded-Postgres integration
paths on this macOS host because the platform binary package was
missing.

> I checked `ROADMAP.md`; this is a targeted execution/scheduling fix
and does not duplicate planned roadmap feature work.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex via the Paperclip `codex_local` adapter in this
workspace. Exact backend model ID is not surfaced in the runtime here;
tool-enabled coding agent with terminal execution and repository editing
capabilities.
