Run session maintenance at its due time, not on every tick - #3361
Option 2 from #3265, with erskingardner's three adjustments. Stacked on #3258: the base is fix/2923-deadlines, and this PR is retargeted to master once #3258 merges. It is part of #2923 and closes nothing.
What changes
Session maintenance (run_due_maintenance, session and app parts together) leaves the 15 s tick. The account worker runs it at the earliest time its data gives, and sleeps until then.
When it is due (AccountDeviceRuntime::maintenance_due, plus AppClient::maintenance_due for the app's parts):
Stored times:
periodic rotation (next_periodic_rotation_at);
leaf refresh (leaf_refresh_due_at);
each open self-update obligation's phase deadline: CatchUp eose_deadline_at, EoseTimeout and Grace grace_until, Quiet quiet_since plus the quiet window, Jitter not_before;
KeyPackage: the refresh deadline, private-material expiries, and each publication target's stored backoff;
transport fanouts: bounded_until and each target's backoff;
issued and received private KeyPackage expiries (two new reads);
reinvite retries (next_attempt_at_ms);
group recovery jobs (retry_at), so a coordinator answers a recovery request well inside its 10-minute lifetime.
Held self-updates wake when their hold ends (adjustment 1):
an epoch-gap hold at open_since + 24 h;
a commit-delivery hold at undelivered_commit.since + 1 h.
No stored time, so they retry 15 s after the last run while they last. This work is reported as owed, never as due "now": a "now" would read as new work on every re-read and run maintenance back to back. It covers:
an unheld self-update in Retry or PendingPublication (a send failure);
a KeyPackage to build or replace, a missing periodic deadline, a phase with no stored time, a terminal group's obligation;
watched Welcomes and own-leaf reconciliations;
a rejoin offer, an unrecoverable group, a reinvite with no retry time, a coordinator's grant under way, a group that could not be read;
device-group passes while device groups are on (unreleased, out of scope).
Paused maintenance owes no new KeyPackage: it only finishes publishing what is prepared, as the run does.
The component recheck keeps its 10-minute interval. An idle account therefore still runs maintenance about every 10 minutes, instead of every 15 s.
The longest sleep toward a stored time is 15 minutes. The worker's clock stops while the device is suspended and wall time does not, so a longer sleep could wake well after the time it aimed at. Session maintenance's stored times use Move idle maintenance onto per-account wakes and deadlines (mdk#2923 step B) #3258's shared wall-time deadline (schedule::wall_deadline): the worker looks again at least every 15 minutes and runs maintenance once wall time reaches the due time, not before.
One place to re-read it (adjustment 2):
The worker re-reads the due time after a command that can change state, a receive, a convergence pass, a recovery turn, a scheduled recovery, post-join or KeyPackage catch-up, and each maintenance run. No writer has to send a wake.
App commands are included because some in-scope work (epoch-gap holds, private KeyPackage expiries, reinvites, rejoin offers) changes through app writes, not session effects. Read-only commands, and the transport's subscription retry (about once a second while relays are out of reach), do not trigger a re-read.
The read is spaced to at most once a second, so a burst of deliveries reads it once. A due time can't move before now, so the spacing delays work by at most a second.
It is timed as worker_maintenance_next_due.
No spin:
Work the last run already saw but could not do (a held group, a pause, a gate) waits 15 s after that run, as the tick did.
Work that came due after the run started runs at once.
Retry spacing uses the worker's clock, so a wall-clock step cannot stretch it; stored times compare in wall seconds.
The watchdog keeps the tick during the soak, and counts two more jobs:
watchdog_missed_wake_session_maintenance: a stored time passed after the last run started while the plan aims later than it, or owed work with no plan at all, meaning a change moved what maintenance owes without a re-read. It compares wall times, so a plan delayed only by the device's suspend does not count;
watchdog_missed_wake_relay_config: a retry with no deadline.
While the tick lasts, it reads the due time once every 15 s for this check. That cost goes with the tick.
Behaviour change
KeyPackage publication retries follow their stored backoff (30 s, doubling to 1 h) instead of every tick. Nothing else changes in retry policy, SelfUpdate's included.
Offline with KeyPackage relays: a failed publish stamps every relay target with its attempt time and count, so the next attempt is due 30 s later, then 60 s, and so on. an_offline_key_package_publication_is_due_at_its_backoff pins this.
Zero relays: the account cannot prepare and publish a KeyPackage, so that work is owed with no stored time and retries every 15 s, as it did on the tick.
Cost of the due read
AccountDeviceRuntime::maintenance_due costs about 5 µs per live group with an open obligation, and grows linearly. Each figure is the mean of 50 reads in a release build on an Apple M-series Mac:
Groups (one obligation each)
Per read
10
0.06 ms
50
0.27 ms
200
1.07 ms
The app's part adds one indexed epoch-gap read per live group, which I did not time separately.
A phone is slower, so I'd expect a few milliseconds at 200 groups.
It runs at most once a second while the account is active. While the tick lasts, it also runs once per 15 s tick for the watchdog. For comparison, the session maintenance run it replaces cost the Pixel 9a about 300 ms of work every 90 s.
Soak measurement
The soak is judged on opted-in nightly devices: White Noise Android staging builds, which build from every push to master and carry the metrics endpoint and token. The watchdog counters reach us through the relay telemetry export, which already sends every runtime operation, so they need no new wiring. That export is opt-in (off in MDK by default, and on in Android only after the user agrees in the diagnostics prompt or settings), so the counts come from devices whose users opted in, once a MarmotKit with this PR is adopted.
The preview is only a crash and behaviour check. Preview builds have no metrics endpoint, so they can't send the counters. Their audit upload endpoint is empty too, and no audit event kind fits a counter.
Tests
Each fix has a test that fails without it; 11 mutants, one per fix, are each caught.
Session:
work owed with no stored time has no due time, and paused maintenance owes no new KeyPackage (the 1 s loop);
a failed offline KeyPackage publication is due at +30 s, then +60 s; a published one a relay refused is due at that relay's backoff;
a held self-update is due exactly when its epoch-gap hold ends; unheld, it retries every 15 s; a commit-delivery hold is due when it ends;
a coordinator's recovery job makes maintenance due at its stored retry time.
App: the epoch-gap hold ends 24 h after the gap opened, and a handed-over KeyPackage's expiry makes maintenance due.
Worker:
owed work retries 15 s apart, not back to back, and the due time is re-read after a run and a state change but not after a read, both on the test's held clock;
the plan: a stored time, past-due work seen or unseen by the last run, untimed retries, spacing by the worker's clock through a wall-clock step, the 15-minute longest sleep through the shared helper, and the watchdog's late check.
The 1 s loop only shows when wall time advances, so it has no real-time end-to-end test; the session test and the plan unit tests cover it.
Idle:idle_ticks_take_no_writer_and_spawn_no_housekeeping allows session maintenance at most once per 15 s tick, since its account has no relays and owes a KeyPackage, and both new watchdog counters stay at zero. a_maintenance_tick_records_one_span_per_phase checks the phases against the first session maintenance run.
Verification
On f0cad99 (stacked on #3258's d01d1ba, which is rebased on master a7bcb48cf), with CI's features:
formatting, workspace clippy and the feature-specific clippy, the naming gate, the tracing audit and the test timing ratchet are clean; no new real-time waits in tests;
nextest for marmot-app (3,030 of 3,030) and marmot-session (236 of 236) passed;
relay_runtime (--test-threads 1): 192 of 192 passed;
Session maintenance now uses stored deadlines and scheduled retries instead of running on every 15-second maintenance tick. The account worker refreshes due state after relevant activity, schedules maintenance and relay-configuration retries, and checks for missed deadlines.

Engine and storage APIs return the earliest private KeyPackage expiry. Session APIs also report whether stored Welcomes contain rejoin offers.
MaintenanceDue combines the earliest stored maintenance time with whether untimed work remains owed. The calculation covers KeyPackages, fanouts, Welcomes, recovery, live groups, and open obligations. Tests cover holds, retry times, and recovery scheduling.
AppClient combines session deadlines with KeyPackage expiry and reinvite retry times. It also calculates epoch-gap holds and marks retries owed for specified group and rejoin-offer conditions.

The worker refreshes due state after activity that can change maintenance obligations and plans deadlines or 15-second retries. The schedule adds session-maintenance and relay-configuration jobs.
Scheduled execution and watchdog checks crates/marmot-app/src/runtime/account_worker.rs, crates/marmot-app/src/runtime/tests.rs, crates/marmot-observability/src/app_telemetry/runtime.rs, crates/marmot-app/CHANGELOG.md, docs/marmot-architecture/runtime-latency-telemetry.md
The worker runs maintenance and relay-configuration retries from scheduled jobs. The maintenance tick remains for watchdog checks. Tests, telemetry operations, changelog text, and architecture documentation describe the scheduling and missed-wake checks.
Session maintenance now runs at its stored due time. Two narrow paths can delay work: a KeyPackage replacement staged with no publication targets, and work created by a recovery turn at the top of the worker loop. Both are bounded and cheap to fix, so the change is mergeable with these follow-ups.

Session maintenance (run_due_maintenance) was the last job the 15 s
maintenance tick still ran on every idle account (mdk#3265). The account
worker now runs it at the earliest time its data gives and sleeps until
then: periodic rotation and leaf refresh deadlines, each open self-update
obligation's phase deadline, KeyPackage refresh, expiry and relay backoff,
transport fanout backoff and bounds, private KeyPackage expiries, reinvite
retries and the 10-minute component recheck.
A self-update held by an epoch gap is due when its 24 h hold ends, and one
held by an undelivered commit an hour after that commit's first
acknowledgement, instead of every 15 s. Work with no stored time (a send
failure, an in-memory retry, a rejoin offer, an unrecoverable group,
device-group passes) retries 15 s after the last run while it lasts, as
the tick did. Work the last run saw but could not do waits the same 15 s,
so a gate cannot spin the worker.
The due time is re-read in one place, after a command, a receive, a
convergence pass, a recovery turn or a maintenance run, at most once a
second, rather than relying on each writer to wake the worker. It is timed
as worker_maintenance_next_due. KeyPackage publication retries now follow
their stored backoff, and the relay-config retry from mdk#3263 moves from
the tick onto the same schedule.
The tick stays for the soak as the watchdog. It counts session
maintenance found due before its deadline and a relay-config retry with
no deadline.

Mark maintenance due state dirty before the loop-top recovery turn.
The loop-top recovery turn can change state that session maintenance depends on, but it does not set maintenance_due_dirty. The next_runner_turn arm sets the flag for the same kind of turn. Without the flag, the stored maintenance plan is not re-read after the change. If that change creates untimed retry-while-owed work while the plan has a future target, the watchdog does not report it. The work then waits until the planned wake.

Do not stage a KeyPackage replacement with no publication targets.
When routing returns no endpoints, publish_fresh_key_package stages a signed pending_replacement with an empty targets list. Both publish outcomes keep that record pending. The maintenance-due arm for a signed pending replacement adds a retry time only for each existing target, so an empty list adds none. The publication-due check also returns false for it. The replacement therefore waits until not_after expires, and the current KeyPackage cannot be refreshed in the meantime.
Refuse the empty case before staging, as the republish path already does at runtime.rs:1322. Return the same KeyPackagePublishError::unexposed error, so no signed artifact is staged without a target.
