refactor: migrate thread/async/queue/scheduler infra to mytheclipse

- bootstrap: TracingLayer from mytheclipse-tracing (composed with scraper
  env filter), RuntimeConfig::auto() thread logging, init job queue + cron.
- proxy_fetch: leader task via ::mytheclipse::spawn_io, gzip decompression
  offloaded to ::mytheclipse::compute (sized rayon pool, panic-isolated),
  bounded by new async fetch limiter (tokio Semaphore bridge).
- queue: new infrastructure/queue module over mytheclipse-queue
  (InMemoryQueue + WorkerPool + BackpressureEnforcer) for repair jobs.
- scheduler: new infrastructure/scheduler.rs using mytheclipse::cron for
  the daily 02:00 UTC image-cache cleanup.
- deps: add mytheclipse-queue + mytheclipse-tracing path deps; mytheclipse
  -> full feature; rayon 1.12; keep path deps for unpublished crates.
- tests: infra_round2 runtime smoke tests (compute panic isolation,
  spawn_io, backpressure admission, cron parse, queue roundtrip).
- Fix: local cache::mytheclipse bridge module shadowed the mytheclipse
  crate name; use leading :: at spawn_io/compute call sites.

+# Spec Round 2 — Scraper → mytheclipse Deep Infra Migration (thread/async/queue)
+
+Date: 2026-08-30
+Repo: /home/code/scraper (scraper-service)
+Library: /home/code/mytheclipse (mytheclipse crates v1.20+ local path)
+
+## Scope
+
+Round 1 (committed c7ffd29) migrated retry, redis cache, event bus, ratelimit,
+config. Round 2 targets the remaining **runtime/concurrency/queue/observability**
+infrastructure — the parts the user explicitly asked to push "sampai tingkat
+thread, async, queue dan lainnya".
+
+## 1. Runtime thread sizing — `mytheclipse::runtime_auto::RuntimeConfig`
+
+**Current**: bootstrap logs `std::thread::available_parallelism()` manually;
+tokio runtime is `#[tokio::main(flavor = "multi_thread")]` with default
+worker counts.
+
+**Change**:
+- Add `mytheclipse = { features = ["lifecycle", ...] }` (add `lifecycle` feature).
+- In `bootstrap/mod.rs`, compute `RuntimeConfig::auto()` once at build, log
+  worker/blocking/compute/io counts, and keep the tokio runtime default
+  (already multi_thread). Optionally pass `worker_threads` via a `#[tokio::main]`
+  alternative — but since `main` uses the macro, we keep the macro form and
+  simply surface the auto-derived counts in logs + store them in `AppState`
+  for future pool sizing.
+- Replace the manual `available_parallelism()` log with `RuntimeConfig::auto()`.
+
+## 2. Async I/O + background task spawns — `mytheclipse::spawn_io` / `spawn_bg`
+
+**Current**:
+- `proxy_fetch.rs:114` uses `tokio::spawn(...)` for the request-coalescing leader
+- 30+ `tokio::task::spawn_blocking(...)` sites across otakudesu.rs, anime2
+  use_cases, komik use_cases, proxy_fetch (gzip decompress)
+- No bounded background task pool
+
+**Change**:
+- `proxy_fetch.rs` leader task → `mytheclipse::spawn_io(...)` (same semantics,
+  adds tracing span instrumentation). No behavior change.
+- Add `mytheclipse = { features = ["io", "bg"] }`.
+- The `spawn_blocking` sites stay as-is **this round** (they're CPU-bound
+  parser calls and `spawn_blocking` is the correct tokio primitive; mytheclipse
+  `compute()` would replace them but that's a 2k+ LOC parser sweep — deferred
+  as before). Document this in the spec's residual section.
+- Add `bg` feature and expose a bounded background executor via
+  `mytheclipse::spawn_bg` for the **cache-write / relay-fallback** background
+  tasks that currently fire-and-forget (if any are found in use_cases).
+
+## 3. Worker queue — `mytheclipse-queue` `InMemoryQueue` + `WorkerPool`
+
+**Current**: no queue abstraction; the only "background" work is the cache
+batch writes (`cache_image_urls_batch_lazy` in the proxy image-cache path —
+but proxy routes were removed, so that path may be dead). Event bus has no
+worker pool.
+
+**Change**:
+- Add `mytheclipse-queue = { path = ..., features = ["in-memory"] }`.
+- Wire a small application-level `JobQueue` in `src/infrastructure/queue/`:
+  - `InMemoryQueue` + `WorkerPool` consuming a `scrape:repair` topic for
+    background image-cache repair/re-sync jobs.
+  - Graceful shutdown: on app shutdown, stop workers.
+  - This is additive infra (no existing behavior replaced), so it's low-risk
+    and demonstrates the queue crate in the scraper.
+- Actually **use** it: the `image_cache` repair path (cache cleanup at 2 AM)
+  is currently absent (scheduler dir missing). Introduce a small
+  `src/infrastructure/scheduler.rs` using `mytheclipse::cron` (lifecycle
+  feature) OR `tokio::time::interval` for the daily 02:00 cleanup that
+  enqueues repair jobs onto the queue. Given the original CLAUDE.md mentions
+  "scheduler — Cron jobs (daily cache cleanup at 2 AM)", recreating it on
+  mytheclipse-queue is a faithful, additive migration.
+
+## 4. Backpressure / concurrency — `mytheclipse::ConcurrencyLimiter` / `BackpressureQueue`
+
+**Current**: proxy_fetch has request coalescing via DashMap + broadcast (kept —
+it's application logic, not infra). No app-level backpressure.
+
+**Change**:
+- Add `mytheclipse = { features = ["traffic"] }` (already enabled for
+  RateLimiter in round 1).
+- Wrap the **fetch-with-proxy** path with a `ConcurrencyLimiter` (bound
+  concurrent outbound scrapes, default e.g. 16) so burst traffic can't
+  saturate the upstream. This is a real, central hot path (every scrape goes
+  through it).
+- Keep the RateLimiter middleware (round 1) for inbound.
+
+## 5. Observability — `mytheclipse-tracing` `TracingLayer` (+ keep OTel metrics)
+
+**Current**: `tracing_subscriber::fmt().with_env_filter(...)` in bootstrap;
+opentelemetry metrics in `observability/metrics.rs` (kept — `mytheclipse-tracing`
+has no metrics exporter, round-1 decision).
+
+**Change**:
+- Add `mytheclipse-tracing = { path = ..., features = ["env"] }`.
+- Replace `tracing_subscriber::fmt()` in bootstrap with
+  `mytheclipse_tracing::TracingLayer::install()` (same RUST_LOG env-filter
+  semantics, adds tracing span layer compatibility).
+- Keep `init_otel_metrics()` untouched (OTel exporter stays).
+
+## 6. HTTP client — `mytheclipse-http` `HttpClient` (optional, re-evaluate)
+
+Round 1 deferred this because mytheclipse-http's client "loses header/UA/status
+control". Re-check: `mytheclipse-http::client::HttpClient` — if it exposes
+`with_timeout`, `get_text`, `get_json`, `post_json`, and header injection,
+use it for the non-critical relay fetches (`fetch_via_relays`). If not
+header-capable, skip (kept as residual).
+
+## Files touched
+
+- Cargo.toml (features: add lifecycle, io, bg; add mytheclipse-queue, mytheclipse-tracing)
+- src/bootstrap/mod.rs (RuntimeConfig log + TracingLayer + scheduler start)
+- src/infrastructure/scraping/proxy_fetch.rs (spawn_io + ConcurrencyLimiter)
+- src/infrastructure/queue/mod.rs (NEW — InMemoryQueue + WorkerPool + repair topic)
+- src/infrastructure/scheduler.rs (NEW — daily 02:00 cleanup → queue enqueue)
+- src/infrastructure/cache/mytheclipse.rs (maybe wire limiter through cache path)
+- src/presentation/state.rs (add queue handle / limiter if needed)
+
+## Verification
+
+1. `cargo check` — green after each batch
+2. `cargo test` — all pass
+3. `cargo build --release` — green
+4. `cargo fmt --check` on touched files
+5. Runtime smoke: boot server, hit `/health`, confirm logs show RuntimeConfig
+   and scheduler started; queue jobs process (test harness)
+
+## Residual (deliberately deferred)
+
+- `spawn_blocking` → `mytheclipse::compute()` sweep (2k+ LOC parser files)
+- OTel metrics → mytheclipse-tracing (no metrics exporter in library yet)
+- rayon in komik_parser
+- mytheclipse-http client if header control is insufficient
+
