Failed to mark claim ${claim.id} as stealable:

Error message

Failed to mark claim ${claim.id} as stealable:

What it means

Log warning in autoMarkStaleWork: marking an individual stale claim as stealable (markStealable) threw; that claim is skipped and the loop continues so other stale claims can still be marked — a per-item, non-fatal failure.

Solutions

1. Check the claims store connectivity and that the claim record still exists; the failure is logged with the underlying cause and the steal is retried on the next cycle.
