Three changes reduce extraction cost and duplicate PR flood:
1. 4-hour cooldown gate — skip sources with ANY PR (merged/closed/open)
created in the last 4h. Prevents same source re-extracting every 60s
while archive step lags behind merge.
2. DB-authoritative status — sources.status is now updated in the pipeline DB
at each extraction terminal point (null_result, success). Queue scan checks
DB first so sources with failed archives (e.g., root-owned worktree files
blocking git pull --rebase) don't get re-extracted forever. Also moves
archival into the extraction branch so it goes through PR merge instead
of a fragile separate main-worktree push.
3. source_channel wiring — extract.py PR INSERT now sets source_channel from
classify_source_channel(branch). Previously daemon-created PRs had NULL
source_channel, breaking Argus dashboard filters. Combined with Ship's
in-branch archive refactor.
Root incident: blockworks-metadao-strategic-reset.md extracted 31 times in
12 hours. Nine other sources hit 10-22 extractions each. Near-duplicate
rejection rate jumped to 94%.
