The halacha extraction queue was stuck (same class as the metadata issue): 26
precedents requested extraction with no drainer, plus 1 orphaned in 'processing'
(status=processing, requested_at cleared → never re-picked by the queue).
- db.requeue_stale_processing_extractions(kind): re-stamp orphaned 'processing'
rows (requested_at IS NULL) so they re-drain; halacha extractor force=False
resumes from chunk checkpoints (no duplicates).
- process_pending_extractions calls it at the top — fully unattended, safe under
the global advisory lock. Mirrors the digests-drain self-heal.
- legal-halacha-drain.config.cjs: pm2 cron (every 2h, conservative — Claude is
slow/rate-limited and each run adds to the chair's pending_review queue).
drain_halacha_queue.py stays on claude_session (high reasoning quality for
holding/ratio; NOT moved to Gemini). SCRIPTS.md.
The chair-approval gate (INV-G10) is untouched — this only produces halachot;
Daphna still approves each in /approvals.
