All task claiming/completing/freeing is handled by the builders themselves,
the hub is completely passive. So if a builder is not checking in, it cannot
claim any new tasks.
If a builder dies while running tasks, those tasks will remain claimed by
that builder until it starts checking in again (at which point, if the daemon
was restarted, they will be freed). There is no daemon that checks for tasks
owned by non-responsive builders and frees them. That logic could be added
to a daemon like kojira.
The use case I have the builder will come back up - later - but it will
probably be a brand new install with an old builder key/cert. So it won't
know about any of the old jobs.
I guess I don't want to have to worry about a builder checking in.
Kojira runs on the kojihub itself?
