Stable rejects old Telegram imports instead of replaying them as fresh work. The October importer takes the oldest usable received/message timestamp and marks legacy work older than 24 hours failed with stale-legacy-import. It preserves legacy source evidence rather than turning stale owner instructions into a new actionable queue item. The implementation explicitly does not sweep work already imported into the current queue.
Channel: tagged-release. Half: defect. Date: 2026-10-18.
Operator consequence: Use 10.7 before legacy Telegram recovery, then inspect migration warnings and pending work. A genuinely unprocessed old instruction will also be withheld; the owner must decide whether to issue it again. The fix removes automatic replay, not the need to review recovery intent. Do not describe it as a queue cleanup or infer 9.33 behavior merely from a missing October filename.
