      +Covers the behaviour introduced to fix the ``Gateway shutting down ...
      +task will be interrupted`` follow-up bug (spec: PR #11852, builds on
      +PRs #9850, #9934, #7536):
      +
      +1. When a gateway restart drain times out and agents are force-interrupted,
      +   the affected sessions are flagged ``resume_pending=True`` — not
      +   ``suspended`` — so the next user message on the same session_key
      +   auto-resumes from the existing transcript instead of getting routed
      +   through ``suspend_recently_active()`` and converted into a fresh
      +   session.
      +
      +2. ``suspended=True`` (from ``/stop`` or stuck-loop escalation) still
      +   wins over ``resume_pending`` — the forced-wipe path is preserved.
      +
      +3. The restart-resume system note injected into the next user message is
      +   a superset of the existing tool-tail auto-continue note (from
      +   PR #9934), using session-entry metadata rather than just transcript
      +   shape so it fires even when the interrupted transcript does NOT end
      +   with a ``tool`` role.
      +
      +4. The existing ``.restart_failure_counts`` stuck-loop counter from
      +   PR #7536 remains the single source of escalation — no parallel
      +   counter is added on ``SessionEntry``.
