Test Improvement

Pins the Scheduling outage recovery item of #554 ("explicitly document and test the chosen recovery expectation when missed runs exceed the lookback window. The current implementation intentionally excludes sufficiently old PRs; do not silently change this into unlimited catch-up"). No source change.

Files/functions claimed (all new or docs-only, disjoint from every open hold-gated PR):

• __tests__/cronJobTest/sweepDelayOutage.test.ts (new) — unit, sweep → recentlyUpdatedPulls(…, due.from) in src/cronJobs/sweep.ts
• __tests__/bundle/blunderbussDelayOutage.test.ts (new) — the same contract through dist/index.js
• docs/configuration.md, the blunderbuss.delay paragraph — records the expectation

Disjoint from #555 (fakeGithub.ts, ownersGroups/blunderbussDelay bundle tests), #558 (sweep.test.ts due-window bounds: a PR 1 ms before due.from that is still listed), #559 (blunderbussDelay.test.ts), #561/#562/#565/#566 (their own sweepDelay*/blunderbussDelay* files), #563 (config.ts) and #556 (contributing.md).

case	pull requests (delay: 1h)	asserts
default lookback (1h), window [now−2h, now−1h]	#1 opened/updated 90 min ago; #2 opened/updated 150 min ago, untouched	#1 requested and its timeline read; exactly one list page (page=1); no request at all names #2 (/pulls/2*, /issues/2*), sweep: 1 more checked for delayed reviewers
sweep.lookback: 2h, window [now−3h, now−1h]	same two	#1 is an ordinary candidate, #2 the delayed-only one; both requested, both timelines read, sweep: 1 candidate updated since

Mutant check (per #554's "justify by mutation, not percentage"): changing the list bound in sweep() from due.from to new Date(0) (unbounded catch-up) fails the first unit case (expected [1, 2] to deeply equal [1], the timeline reads) while the existing 42 sweep.test.ts cases and the bundle blunderbussDelay cases accept it — the delayed block there always serves a short single page, so the listing bound was unpinned. The cases add no new lines or branches by design.

Docs: the blunderbuss.delay paragraph now states that the sweep does not catch up past now − delay − lookback, that lookback (capped at 24h) is the knob for riding out missed slots, and that /auto-cc or a manual request covers a pull request missed that way.

Coverage evidence

• Unit, npm run test:coverage on main@e3119ad: 2330 tests, 99.92 % lines / 99.35 % branches; sweep.ts 98.33 / 92.3, uncovered 85,244 (both claimed by test(sweep): pin the delayed-reviewers catch of sweep in its Error and String(e) arms (sweep.ts:85) #565/test(sweep): pin the inclusive due-window bounds and the timeline-read failure of delayed reviewers #558). The four other reported lines (close.ts:39, reopen.ts:36, approve.ts:504, auth.ts:220) are the documented v8 negative-count artifact (docs/contributing.md), not gaps.
• End-to-end, npm run test:coverage:e2e on main@e3119ad: 528 tests, 100 % lines / 99.46 % branches; sweep.ts 100 / 94.87, uncovered 80-85,208 (claimed by test(sweep): pin the delayed-reviewers OWNERS guard on a base branch without OWNERS files (sweep.ts:80) #561/test(sweep): pin the delayed-reviewers catch of sweep in its Error and String(e) arms (sweep.ts:85) #565/test(sweep): pin the reviewer-key fallbacks of delayed blunderbuss on a bare pull listing (sweep.ts:208) #562).
• Both suites already execute this path; this PR pins its contract, not new lines.

Verification

• npx vitest run __tests__/cronJobTest/sweepDelayOutage.test.ts __tests__/bundle/blunderbussDelayOutage.test.ts __tests__/configurationDocs.test.ts __tests__/docsYamlExamples.test.ts — 4 files passed
• npx eslint on the three changed files — clean

Important

Held for human review by the hive's ACMM level gate.

This PR was opened by the "quality" agent while Hive policy required a human checkpoint for that agent. Agent PRs are held at ACMM L3–L5; an outreach PR that targets a repository this hive does not manage is held at every level because it publishes project-facing communication into someone else's project.

Hive will keep the hold label until a human removes it. Operators can make a deliberate one-off release during an ACMM level change with release_level_holds=true, but level changes never release this hold automatically.
