## Problem
Scheduled tasks, backups, and auto-updates stopped working after 1-2 months
with error: MaxAttemptsExceededException: App\Jobs\ScheduledJobManager has
been attempted too many times.
Root cause: ScheduledJobManager used WithoutOverlapping with only
releaseAfter(60), causing locks without expiration (TTL=-1) that persisted
indefinitely when jobs hung or processes crashed.
## Solution
### Part 1: Prevention (Future Locks)
- Added expireAfter(60) to ScheduledJobManager middleware
- Lock now auto-expires after 60 seconds (matches everyMinute schedule)
- Changed from releaseAfter(60) to expireAfter(60)->dontRelease()
- Follows Laravel best practices and matches other Coolify jobs
### Part 2: Recovery (Existing Locks)
- Enhanced cleanup:redis command with --clear-locks flag
- Scans Redis for stale locks (TTL=-1) and removes them
- Called automatically during app:init on startup/upgrade
- Provides immediate recovery for affected instances
## Changes
- app/Jobs/ScheduledJobManager.php: Added expireAfter(60)->dontRelease()
- app/Console/Commands/CleanupRedis.php: Added cleanupCacheLocks() method
- app/Console/Commands/Init.php: Auto-clear locks on startup
- tests/Unit/ScheduledJobManagerLockTest.php: Test to prevent regression
- STALE_LOCK_FIX.md: Complete documentation
## Testing
- Unit tests pass (2 tests, 8 assertions)
- Code formatted with Pint
- Matches pattern used by CleanupInstanceStuffsJob
