Test data was bleeding into production tasks.db because
swarm.task_queue.models.DB_PATH (relative path) was never patched in
conftest.clean_database. Fixed by switching to absolute paths via
settings.repo_root and adding the missing module to the patching list.
Discord bot could leak orphaned clients on retry after ERROR state.
Added _cleanup_stale() to close stale client/task before each start()
attempt, with improved logging in the token watcher.
Rewrote test_paperclip_client.py to use httpx.MockTransport instead of
patching _get/_post/_delete — tests now exercise real HTTP status codes,
error handling, and JSON parsing. Added end-to-end test for
capture_error → create_task DB isolation.
