+//! The AI page-analysis worker daemon.
+//!
+//! A lean sibling of [`crate::crawler::daemon`]: it leases `analyze_page`
+//! jobs from the SAME `crawler_jobs` queue (filtered by kind, so it never
+//! contends with crawl jobs), dispatches each through an [`AnalyzeDispatcher`]
+//! seam, and acks done/failed. No cron, no browser, no session state — it
+//! runs whenever `ANALYSIS_ENABLED` is set, independent of the crawler.
+//!
+//! Per job: skip if already `done` (unless the payload sets `force`),
+//! heartbeat the lease while the (slow) vision call runs, isolate panics
+//! and an outer timeout, and on terminal failure write a `failed`
+//! `page_analysis` row so the page's state is observable.
