 On server restart, `recoverDispatchQueues()` also recovers:
 - Stuck `in_progress` tasks whose agents are dead (status is not `running` or `waiting_for_input`) — reset to `pending` and re-queued
-- Erroneously `blocked` tasks whose agents completed successfully (status is `idle` or `completed`) — marked `completed` so the phase can progress. This handles the legacy case where conflict resolution incorrectly blocked already-completed tasks.

 Manual retry via `retryBlockedTask()` resets `retryCount` to 0, giving the task a fresh set of automatic retries.
