Summary of Changes

This PR resolves issues #972 and #989 by addressing TypeScript typing for y-websocket and introducing a Dead-Letter Queue (DLQ) with exponential backoff retries for background jobs.

---

🚀 Key Improvements

1. Proper Typing for y-websocket (#972)

• Added local declaration file (src/types/y-websocket.d.ts) covering y-websocket/bin/utils.
• Updated src/collaborationServer.ts to cleanly import setupWSConnection without requiring @ts-expect-error.

2. BullMQ Dead-Letter Queue & Retries (#989)

• Retry Strategies:
  • Webhooks Queue: 5 retries with exponential backoff and random jitter.
  • Exports Queue: 3 retries with linear backoff.
• DLQ Service (src/services/dlq.service.ts):
  • Automatically captures jobs that fail permanently or exhaust all retries.
  • Preserves original job payload, trace ID (traceId), error messages, timestamps, and attempt counts.
  • Logs an error alert when the DLQ depth exceeds the configurable threshold (DLQ_ALERT_THRESHOLD).
• Admin API Endpoints (src/routes/admin/dlq.routes.ts):
  • GET /admin/dlq: Inspect DLQ records (supports optional queue filter & limit).
  • GET /admin/dlq/metrics: Retrieve DLQ count metrics & alert status.
  • POST /admin/dlq/replay/:dlqId: Replay a specific job back to its original queue.
  • POST /admin/dlq/replay: Replay all jobs (or jobs for a target queue).
  • POST /admin/dlq/purge: Purge DLQ jobs.
• Unit Tests (tests/dlq.test.ts):
  • Comprehensive unit test suite covering backoff calculations, DLQ enqueuing, payload/traceId preservation, threshold alerts, replay mechanisms, and purging.

🧪 Acceptance Criteria Checklist

• collaborationServer.ts compiles without @ts-expect-error
• Failed jobs retry with exponential/linear backoff and configurable max attempts
• Jobs exceeding retry limit move to DLQ without data loss
• DLQ is monitorable via depth metrics and threshold alerts
• Replaying a DLQ job restores it to its original queue with original metadata and traceId
• Admin endpoints implemented for inspecting, replaying, and purging DLQ records
• Unit tests written and passing
