Extract session-pipeline framework + UsageProcessor skeleton (#232)

* Extract session pipeline framework, refactor verification, add UsageProcessor skeleton Pluggable framework under services/session_pipeline/ (contract + lib + per-processor runner) so multiple processors can read /data/user_sessions/<key>/*.jsonl on their own cadence with full failure isolation. Verification flow becomes the first plugin; a no-op UsageProcessor reserves the second slot pending a separate brainstorm on extraction logic + storage shape. Schema v28→v29: rename session_extraction_state → session_processor_state with composite PK (processor_name, session_file). Existing rows copied over with processor_name='verification'; legacy table dropped. Migration is idempotent and no-ops the copy step on fresh installs that came up at the new schema. Endpoint: /api/admin/run-verification-detector replaced by parametrized /api/admin/run-session-processor?processor=<name>. Audit action format follows. Scheduler JOBS: verification-detector entry split into session-processor:verification + session-processor:usage. SCHEDULER_VERIFICATION_DETECTOR_INTERVAL retained for operator compatibility (drives both cadence and health-check grace window); SCHEDULER_USAGE_PROCESSOR_INTERVAL added. * Address PR #232 review: scan dead branch + per-processor lock - `SessionProcessorStateRepository.scan_unprocessed_for` dead else: both branches surfaced every jsonl, the SELECT was unused, runner MD5-rehashed every stable session per tick. Replaced with an mtime precheck — stable sessions (mtime <= processed_at) are filtered at scan; modified files still surface for the runner's authoritative `file_hash` invalidation. Naive-local comparison matches the existing health-check idiom (DuckDB TIMESTAMP strips tz on storage). - Per-processor advisory lock around `_run_processor` in `/api/admin/run-session-processor`. Scheduler tick + manual admin POST could otherwise both run, both call create_evidence on overlapping detections, and accumulate duplicate verification_evidence rows (the dedup short-circuit only covers create+contradiction, not evidence per ADR Decision 3). Non-blocking acquire → 409 Conflict on concurrent invocation; release in finally so a runner exception doesn't wedge the processor. Tests: two new scan unit tests (mtime filter + post-mark mtime bump), 409 endpoint test, lock-released-on-exception test. Two existing tests updated for the new "filtered at scan" stat shape (previously asserted skipped == 1, now scanned == 0). * Address PR #232 review #2: parallel scheduler tick + last_run on terminal state Two pre-existing scaffold bugs in services/scheduler/__main__.py amplified by adding more session-pipeline jobs: 1. Serial for-loop over jobs with synchronous httpx.post(timeout=900) — a 10-minute verification run blocked every other job (data-refresh, health-check, usage, corporate-memory) for the whole window. The PR's stated isolation guarantee held inside the runner but broke at the scheduler dispatch layer. 2. last_run advanced only when _call_api returned True. Permanent-failure jobs hot-looped on every tick (30s) instead of cadence (15min). Fix: ThreadPoolExecutor.submit per due job + per-job in_flight set so a long-running job can't be re-launched on subsequent ticks. last_run advances unconditionally in finally; errors still surface via _call_api logging + audit_log on the receiving side. _run_job extracted to module-level for unit testing. New tests: - TestRunJobBookkeeping: advances on success / failure / unhandled raise - TestRunLoopParallelism: in_flight protection prevents duplicate launches across ticks for a single slow job --------- Co-authored-by: Minas Arustamyan <arustamyan.minas@gmail.com>

 ### Added

+- **Session pipeline framework** under `services/session_pipeline/` — pluggable processors for the centralized `/data/user_sessions/<key>/*.jsonl` tree. Each processor implements a `SessionProcessor` Protocol (`name`, `cadence_minutes`, `process_session(...)`) and runs through its own per-processor scheduler tick + scan loop. No cross-processor coupling: a slow or failing processor cannot block any other. Pure-utility lib (`parse_jsonl`, `compute_file_hash`) is shared; orchestration is per-processor in `runner.run_processor()`. Adding a new processor is one file in `services/session_processors/<name>.py`, one entry in the registry list, one entry in the scheduler `JOBS` list. See `services/session_pipeline/contract.py` for the protocol and `services/session_processors/__init__.py` for the registry pattern.
+- `services/session_processors/usage.py` — `UsageProcessor` skeleton (no-op, `cadence_minutes=10`). Reserves the registry slot + scheduler entry so the framework end-to-end exercises two processors. Extraction logic (skill / agent invocation events) and storage shape (DuckDB table vs. append-only parquet event log) are deferred to a separate brainstorm.
+- `POST /api/admin/run-session-processor?processor=<name>` — parametrized admin endpoint that drives one session-pipeline processor end-to-end. Admin-gated; same audit pattern as the other `/api/admin/run-*` endpoints (one row per call with action `run_session_processor:<name>`); 400 when `processor` is unknown.
+- `SessionProcessorStateRepository` in `src/repositories/session_processor_state.py` — backs the new state table.
 - **PostHog snippet middleware preserves `Response.background`** on every return path so any `BackgroundTask` / `BackgroundTasks` attached to an HTML route still fires once the integration is enabled (PR #231 review by minasarustamyan). `BaseHTTPMiddleware` materialises the body and asks subclasses to return a fresh `Response`; the previous implementation dropped `background` on three paths, silently cancelling deferred audit logging / async webhooks / email sends with no log line. Also adds a `_MAX_BUFFER_BYTES` (4 MB) cap so a streamed-HTML response can't balloon RSS — bigger bodies short-circuit through with a warning instead of being buffered. Regression tests in `tests/test_posthog_inject_middleware.py` exercise the four return paths plus the streaming guard.
 - **`POSTHOG_LLM_PAYLOAD_MAX_CHARS` (default 30000) clips `$ai_input` / `$ai_output_choices`** before they hit PostHog so oversized prompts don't get silently dropped at ingest. PostHog's per-event ceiling is ~32 KB and the SDK does not chunk; Agnes prompts routinely include sample rows / table schemas / analyst SQL that exceed it, and unbounded payloads landed *exactly* the calls operators wanted to inspect on the floor (PR #231 review by minasarustamyan). Truncated payloads carry an explicit `…[truncated N chars]` marker so a reader doesn't mistake them for a complete capture; metadata (provider, model, tokens, latency, error) flows regardless. Override the cap via the env var.
 - **PostHog event-level user attributes** so a reviewer reading an event in PostHog sees who the user was inline, without clicking through to the person profile. Backend `capture_exception` merges `user_id` / `user_email` / `user_name` (per `POSTHOG_IDENTIFY_PII`) into the event properties; browser snippet registers the same keys as super-properties via `posthog.register({...})` so every client-side event including `posthog.captureException()` carries them.

 ### Changed

+- **BREAKING**: Schema bump v30 → v31 renames `session_extraction_state` → `session_processor_state` with composite PK `(processor_name, session_file)` so multiple processors can track their own processed-set independently. Existing rows are copied across with `processor_name='verification'` and the old table is dropped. The `KnowledgeRepository.is_session_processed` / `mark_session_processed` helpers are removed — sessions bookkeeping now lives in `SessionProcessorStateRepository`. The session-state-aware `is_processed` check now compares `file_hash` so a session jsonl that grows (live append from an active Claude Code session) gets reprocessed on the next tick — previously the file_hash was stored but never read back.
+- **BREAKING**: `POST /api/admin/run-verification-detector` is dropped in favor of `POST /api/admin/run-session-processor?processor=verification`. Audit action renames `run_verification_detector` → `run_session_processor:verification`. The scheduler `JOBS` list reflects the new endpoint; no operator action required if the only caller is the in-tree scheduler. The legacy `dry_run` flag (no real callers outside the dropped CLI shim) is gone.
+- `services/scheduler/__main__.py` JOBS — `verification-detector` entry replaced by two new entries: `session-processor:verification` and `session-processor:usage`. New env var `SCHEDULER_USAGE_PROCESSOR_INTERVAL` (default 600s); `SCHEDULER_VERIFICATION_DETECTOR_INTERVAL` is retained (still drives the verification cadence AND the health-check grace window in `app/api/health.py`) for operator compatibility with existing docker-compose env files.
+- `services/verification_detector/detector.py` is reduced to LLM-side helpers (`_generate_id`, `_format_turns`, `extract_verifications`); the orchestration loop moves into `VerificationProcessor` in `services/session_processors/verification.py`. The CLI (`python -m services.verification_detector`) still works — it now constructs the processor and runs the shared `run_processor` runner.
+- `app/api/health.py` `_check_session_pipeline` now queries `session_processor_state WHERE processor_name='verification'` instead of `session_extraction_state` (same heuristic, scoped explicitly to the verification processor).
+- `app/web/router.py` `/profile/sessions` join target updated to `session_processor_state` (verification rows). `SCHEDULER_AUDIT_ACTIONS` updated to include the new per-processor audit actions.
 - Marketplace UI rebrand: `+ Install` → `+ Add to my stack`, `✓ Installed` → `✓ In your stack`, card "Installed" badge → "In stack" (amber pill), `My Subscriptions` tab → `My Stack`. Bridges the conceptual gap between "saved on the server" (what the click does) and "installed on my laptop" (what users assumed). Same vocabulary now consistent across `/marketplace`, `/store/<id>` detail, navbar link, and the post-add hint panel.
 - Plugin and skill/agent detail pages now show an inline post-add hint panel after a successful "Add to my stack" click: green-bordered block under the description with a 2-step recipe ("open new Claude Code session" or run `agnes refresh-marketplace` + `/reload-plugins`), Copy button on the command, "Don't show again" dismiss persisted in `localStorage`. Removes the dead-end where users clicked Install, saw "Installed", opened Claude Code, and found nothing.
 - Action-row CTA on `/marketplace`: curated tab `[How to add new content]` → `[Submit a plugin]`, flea tab `[How to add new content]` removed (the `+ Upload` button next to it already covers self-service publishing — second CTA was redundant). Empty-state CTAs aligned: curated empty state links to `Submit a plugin →`, flea empty state shows only `+ Upload`. Guide page titles updated to `Submit a plugin to Curated Marketplace` / `Upload to Flea Market`.

 - `GET /api/marketplace/curated/<slug>/<plugin>/{skill,agent}/<name>` now containment-checks the resolved file path against `plugin_root` via a new `_safe_join` helper (`resolve(strict=True)` + `relative_to`). The direct URL exploit was already blocked by Starlette's `[^/]+` path-param regex, but a curator-planted symlink inside a curated marketplace's git mirror could previously dereference outside the plugin tree on read. Now centralized so `_read_inner`, the skill `files` walk, and the agent `stat` call all share the same boundary.

+### Fixed (PR #232 review)
+
+- `services/scheduler/__main__.py` tick loop is now parallel + advances `last_run` on terminal state. Pre-fix it was a synchronous `for-loop + httpx.post(timeout=900)` — a 10-minute verification run blocked every other job (`data-refresh`, `health-check`, `usage`, `corporate-memory`) for the entire window. The PR's stated isolation guarantee ("slow / failing processor cannot block any other") only held inside `services/session_pipeline/runner.py`; the scheduler dispatch layer broke it. Pre-fix `last_run` also only advanced on success, so a permanently failing job was retried every 30s tick instead of on its 15-min cadence (30× the configured request rate + LLM tokens). Replaced with `ThreadPoolExecutor.submit` per due job + per-job in-flight set so a long-running job can't be re-launched on subsequent ticks. `_run_job` extracted to a module-level helper so the bookkeeping is unit-testable.
+- `SessionProcessorStateRepository.scan_unprocessed_for` had a dead `if/else` where both branches surfaced every jsonl, making the `SELECT session_file FROM session_processor_state` round-trip pointless and forcing the runner to MD5-rehash every stable session on every scheduler tick. Replaced with an mtime precheck: stable sessions (mtime <= processed_at) are filtered at scan and the runner never reads or hashes them. Files modified since the last run still surface for the runner's authoritative `file_hash` invalidation.
+- `POST /api/admin/run-session-processor` now takes a per-processor advisory lock (`threading.Lock` keyed by name) before invoking the runner. Two trigger paths exist for the same processor (scheduler tick + manual admin POST); without serialization, overlapping runs would re-process the same `/data/user_sessions/*` set, double-call the LLM, and pile up duplicate `verification_evidence` rows (the dedup short-circuit only catches the create+contradiction branches, not `create_evidence`, per ADR Decision 3). Concurrent invocation returns HTTP 409 Conflict so the operator sees what happened instead of stacking behind a long-running tick. Lock releases unconditionally in `finally:` so a runner exception can't wedge the processor permanently.
+
 ### Internal

+- `services/session_processors/verification.py:build_verification_processor` factory mirrors the lazy LLM-extractor construction previously inlined in `app/api/admin.run_verification_detector` and `services/verification_detector/__main__`. Single source of truth for processor instantiation.
 - Schema bumped v27 → v28 (`DELETE FROM user_plugin_optouts` for the semantic flip + `marketplace_plugins.created_at` with `registered_at` backfill).
 - New tests `tests/test_marketplace_api.py` (browse, categories, install/uninstall, RBAC 403, `_safe_join` containment). Existing `tests/test_marketplace_filter_store.py`, `tests/test_marketplace_server_zip.py`, `tests/test_marketplace_server_git.py`, `tests/test_store_api.py`, `tests/test_store_repositories.py` updated for Model B (explicit subscribe in fixtures).
