// item sequentially in the SAME goroutine as the ticker loop. Two problems
// that fixed: (1) throughput — task B's continuation no longer waits for
// task A's full (up to 10-minute) resumed turn to finish first, the exact
// per-task blocking this session's earlier concurrency work removed from the
// live-chat path but had left in place here; (2) survivability — since Go
// panics unwind the goroutine they occur in, an unrecovered one here used to
// mean this call (and every future tick, since the whole ticker loop runs in
// one goroutine) would simply stop — auto-continuation for every task would
// silently die until nomos restarted. Now a single bad item can only ever
