-
-    The task-liveness signal the lifecycle was missing. Before this, an author
-    lease carried a fixed four-hour expiry that nothing could shorten, and the
-    only liveness evidence was the recorded PID — the long-lived MCP daemon,
-    which stays alive across every task it serves and so proved nothing about
-    whether the authoring task still held the work.
-
-    Each successful call slides the lease ``initial_ttl_minutes`` past *now*
-    from the central policy, so an actively heartbeating session is never
-    evicted while an abandoned one releases its claim within one TTL.
-
-    What this tool cannot do, by construction:
-
-    * **Acquire.** It refuses when no durable lock exists.
-    * **Take over.** Exact issue, branch, realpath-normalized worktree,
-      claimant username, claimant profile, and recorded task-session identifier
-      must all match; a superseded session holding an older identifier is
-      refused.
-    * **Revive.** A lease already past its grace is not heartbeatable — that
-      would let a session restore ownership it had stopped proving. It must use
-      the sanctioned reclaim path, which mints a new generation.
-
-    A lock predating the heartbeat lifecycle is rebound rather than heartbeated:
-    its exact owner is re-verified and a genuine task-session identifier and
-    first heartbeat are minted (#790 AC-N8). The rebind is decided server-side
-    from the durable lifecycle marker; there is no caller-facing switch.
-
-    Args:
-        issue_number: The locked issue number.
-        branch_name: The branch recorded on the lock.
-        task_session_id: The identifier this session received when it acquired
-            or rebound the lock. It is a fencing token, not an ownership
-            assertion: it is compared against durable state and can only ever
-            cause a refusal, never grant anything. Omitted only when rebinding a
-            legacy lock, which has no identifier yet and mints one.
-        remote: Known instance — 'dadeschools' or 'prgs'.
-        host: Override the Gitea host.
-        org: Override the owner/organization.
-        repo: Override the repository name.
-        worktree_path: Author worktree recorded on the lock.
-        expected_generation: Optional fencing value. The per-issue flock already
-            serializes the read and the write, so this is for a caller that
-            wants to pin the generation it last observed across calls; a moved
-            generation fails closed.
-
-    Returns:
-        dict with 'success', 'performed', the sliding 'expires_at',
-        'last_heartbeat_at', 'lock_generation', 'task_session_id', the applied
-        'policy', and post-write 'freshness'; on refusal 'success'/'performed'

-"""Central lease policy and load-bearing heartbeat freshness (#790 Slice A).
-
-Before this slice, ``issue_lock_store.assess_lock_freshness`` parsed
-``last_heartbeat_at`` and then never consulted it: liveness was decided by an
-absolute four-hour ``expires_at`` and by PID liveness. Because the recorded PID
-is the long-lived MCP daemon rather than the authoring task, an abandoned claim
-stayed "live" for the full four hours, and a claim whose work had already landed
-blocked reconciliation for just as long (Issue #787 / PR #789, and again Issue
-#760 / PR #791).
-
-These tests pin the corrected semantics, including the two asymmetries that are
-easy to lose in a refactor:
-
-* an **alive** PID must never make anything live (AC-N2), while
-* a **dead** PID must still mark a lease stale, because #753 dead-session
-  recovery keys on exactly that classification.
-
-Durable-state helpers here write real lock files through the real flock path;
-they are not mocks of the store.
