Even chunked, a single concurrency-1 maintenance lane is fragile — a 30-min DB
backup or a multi-chunk library audit holds the slot and delays the quick
self-healing recovery sweeps / vacuum (operator-flagged 2026-06-07: long runs
must never block quick maintenance).
Route the long one-shots — backup.*, admin.* (normalize/re-extract/cascade-
delete), library_audit.* — to a new `maintenance_long` queue served by a
dedicated worker (concurrency 1), added to docker-compose (+ dev override). The
scheduler keeps the quick `maintenance` lane (sweeps, vacuum, cleanup) for
itself, so a backup can no longer starve a 5-min vacuum. UI queue list +
routing tests updated.

New /api/system/activity/summary aggregates scheduler health + per-queue
pending depths + running count + 24h failure count in one cached call (safe
to poll app-wide). PipelineStatusChip lives in the TopNav on every page: a
compact running/queued/failing chip with a scheduler-health dot that expands
to a popover (scheduler, busy queues, counts, link to downloads). Polls the
summary every 8s, paused when backgrounded. Reuses the queue-cache read via
_queues_cached(). + API test for the summary shape.
