        command (half-broken MQTT session — #887/#936), the state never transitions
        and the item would otherwise stay stuck in "printing" forever (#967).

          - gcode_state changed from pre_state, OR
          - subtask_id advanced past pre_subtask_id — the printer echoes our
            per-dispatch identity back on push_status, so a subtask_id change is
            a definitive "command landed" signal even while state is still FINISH.
            H2D can sit at FINISH for ~50 s after accepting project_file before
