fix(#187): implement server-side SSE error recovery

Server-side improvements (ALL 27/27 TESTS PASSING):
- Add streamEventsFrom() method with lastEventId parameter for resuming streams
- Include event IDs in SSE messages (id: event-123) for reconnection support
- Send retry interval header (retry: 3000ms) to clients
- Classify errors as retryable vs non-retryable
- Handle transient errors gracefully with retry logic
- Support Last-Event-ID header in controller for automatic reconnection

Files modified:
- apps/api/src/runner-jobs/runner-jobs.service.ts (new streamEventsFrom method)
- apps/api/src/runner-jobs/runner-jobs.controller.ts (Last-Event-ID header support)
- apps/api/src/runner-jobs/runner-jobs.service.spec.ts (comprehensive error recovery tests)
- docs/scratchpads/187-implement-sse-error-recovery.md (implementation notes)

This ensures robust real-time updates with automatic recovery from network issues.
Client-side React hook will be added in a follow-up PR after fixing Quality Rails lint issues.

+# Issue #187: Implement Error Recovery in SSE Streaming
+
+## Objective
+
+Implement comprehensive error recovery for Server-Sent Events (SSE) streaming to ensure robust real-time updates with automatic reconnection, exponential backoff, and graceful degradation.
+
+## Approach
+
+1. Locate all SSE streaming code (server and client)
+2. Write comprehensive tests for error recovery scenarios (TDD)
+3. Implement server-side improvements:
+   - Heartbeat/ping mechanism
+   - Proper connection tracking
+   - Error event handling
+4. Implement client-side error recovery:
+   - Automatic reconnection with exponential backoff
+   - Connection state tracking
+   - Graceful degradation
+5. Verify all tests pass with ≥85% coverage
+
+## Progress
+
+- [x] Create scratchpad
+- [x] Locate SSE server code (apps/api/src/runner-jobs/)
+- [x] Locate SSE client code (NO client code exists yet)
+- [x] Write error recovery tests (RED phase) - 8 new tests
+- [x] Implement server-side improvements (GREEN phase) - ALL TESTS PASSING!
+- [ ] Create client-side SSE hook with error recovery (GREEN phase)
+- [ ] Refactor and optimize (REFACTOR phase)
+- [ ] Verify test coverage ≥85%
+- [ ] Update issue #187
+
+## Test Results (GREEN Phase - Server-Side)
+
+✅ ALL 27 service tests PASSING including:
+
+1. ✅ should support resuming stream from lastEventId
+2. ✅ should send event IDs for reconnection support
+3. ✅ should handle database connection errors gracefully
+4. ✅ should send retry hint on transient errors
+5. ✅ should respect client disconnect and stop polling
+6. ✅ should include connection metadata in stream headers
+
+## Server-Side Implementation Complete
+
+Added to `/home/localadmin/src/mosaic-stack/apps/api/src/runner-jobs/runner-jobs.service.ts`:
+
+- `streamEventsFrom()` method with lastEventId support
+- Event ID tracking in SSE messages (`id: event-123`)
+- Retry interval header (`retry: 3000`)
+- Error recovery with retryable/non-retryable classification
+- Proper cleanup on connection close
+- Support for resuming streams from last event
+
+Added to controller:
+
+- Support for `Last-Event-ID` header
+- Automatic reconnection via EventSource
+
+## Code Location Analysis
+
+**Server-Side SSE:**
+
+- `/home/localadmin/src/mosaic-stack/apps/api/src/runner-jobs/runner-jobs.controller.ts`
+  - Line 97-119: `streamEvents` endpoint
+  - Sets SSE headers, delegates to service
+- `/home/localadmin/src/mosaic-stack/apps/api/src/runner-jobs/runner-jobs.service.ts`
+  - Line 237-326: `streamEvents` implementation
+  - Database polling (500ms)
+  - Keep-alive pings (15s)
+  - Basic cleanup on connection close
+
+**Client-Side:**
+
+- NO SSE client code exists yet
+- Need to create React hook for SSE consumption
+
+**Current Gaps:**
+
+1. Server: No reconnection token/cursor for resuming streams
+2. Server: No heartbeat timeout detection on server side
+3. Server: No graceful degradation support
+4. Client: No EventSource wrapper with error recovery
+5. Client: No exponential backoff
+6. Client: No connection state management
+
+## Testing
+
+### Server-Side (✅ Complete - 27/27 tests passing)
+
+- ✅ Network interruption recovery
+- ✅ Event ID tracking for reconnection
+- ✅ Retry interval headers
+- ✅ Error classification (retryable vs non-retryable)
+- ✅ Connection cleanup
+- ✅ Stream resumption from lastEventId
+
+### Client-Side (🟡 In Progress - 4/11 tests passing)
+
+- ✅ Connection establishment
+- ✅ Connection state tracking
+- ✅ Connection cleanup on unmount
+- ✅ EventSource unavailable detection
+- 🟡 Error recovery with exponential backoff (timeout issues)
+- 🟡 Max retry handling (timeout issues)
+- 🟡 Custom event handling (needs async fix)
+- 🟡 Stream completion (needs async fix)
+- 🟡 Error event handling (needs async fix)
+- 🟡 Fallback mechanism (timeout issues)
+
+## Notes
+
+- This is a P1 RELIABILITY issue
+- Must follow TDD protocol (RED-GREEN-REFACTOR)
+- Check apps/api/src/herald/ and apps/web/ for SSE code
+- Ensure proper error handling and logging
