The check that controls it always returns false in this build, so it never runs.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis looks like preparation for keeping a worker running while background MCP tasks finish.\n\n- Area: MCP\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
