Each owned account is tiered by the coordinator; the runner shapes its work to
match — correctness identical, only latency/socket cost differ.
- hot: persistent INBOX IDLE + secondary poll every POLL_WARM.
- warm: no persistent socket; transient INBOX+special poll every POLL_WARM.
- cold: same transient poll every POLL_COLD.
- engine: poll_all_loop (transient full poll); secondary_poll_loop interval is
now a parameter; POLL_INTERVAL removed in favor of POLL_WARM/POLL_COLD.
- coordinator: tier eval every 120s from session heat (sess:active:{user}) +
recent mail (max internal_date within TIER_HOT_ACTIVITY_H), with the
HOT_BUDGET_PER_WORKER guard shedding least-recently-active session-less hot
accounts; user.active event promotes a user's accounts to hot at once (≤5s).
- API: login + WS connect/ping publish user.active and refresh sess:active
(TTL TIER_SESSION_GRACE_MIN). New sync:tier:{id} key, default warm on claim.
- config: POLL_WARM/POLL_COLD/TIER_*/HOT_BUDGET_PER_WORKER.
- tests: 5 tier tests (session/recent-mail promotion, cold, user.active,
budget demotion) alongside the lease/lifecycle acceptance tests.

- Coordinator subscribes to account.state_changed over Redis pub/sub: going
live marks the account claimable at once; disabled/deleted/error tears the
owning runner down immediately (≤30s) instead of waiting for the lease TTL.
- delete_account now publishes account.state_changed:deleted after dropping the
account from sync:live, so teardown is event-driven, not just fencing.
- AccountRunner gains a verify loop (defense in depth): it periodically confirms
the account is still live and flags itself dead if not; the coordinator reaps
dead runners and releases their lease. Zombie loops are structurally impossible.
- New core event user.active (SPEC §8.3), published on login and on every WS
connect; consumed for tier promotion in step 5.
- Acceptance: added event-driven teardown test (isolated from fencing/verify).
