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.
