Acceptance history could be changed by late/conflicting adapter callbacks, and shutdown or storage/startup failures could leave misleading task availability. This AI-assisted review preserves completed evidence, persists retest lineage on the first insert, blocks further operations after terminal persistence failure, and cleans up SQLite bootstrap/worker-start failures.

It also validates HTTP admission/framing before body reads with bounded rejection teardown, applies shared constraints to response alternatives, enforces read-function-specific Modbus limits, and rejects unsupported nested descendants before silently reducing expected-device counts. CSV appends parent_job_id as column 30; the original 29 columns retain their positions and values. Exactly-29-column external consumers need updating. No new dependency or schema migration is required.

Validation:

• Final exported Git tree: 214 offline tests passed (114 added above the 100-test baseline), 23 original self-checks, configuration validation and compilation passed. Runtime/test bytes match the pushed archive; only changelog/validation prose followed.
• Independent review reproduced a combined worker-start/storage failure; its regression failed before the minimal fix and passed afterwards. The final storage/lifecycle and HTTP helper follow-up were reviewed.
• Initial candidate 17b3f4a passed all four push-matrix jobs, but the PR Windows/Python 3.13 job timed out in a preexisting Node helper after 8 seconds (212 other tests passed). Logs are retained. Follow-up 584b5d2 adds request deadlines, exact 200/200/401 plus JSON-failure assertions, a negative server-token control and completion evidence with a separate subprocess budget. The original delay's cause is unproven; it is not claimed as a production bug.
• Broad runtime line/branch coverage: 50.11%/39.46%. Tests use synthetic adapters, temporary SQLite databases and loopback sockets; no real devices were accessed. Hardware and sustained-load behavior remain unqualified. Final Windows/Linux Python 3.10/3.13 results are in this PR's checks.
