Attention: long rate-limit item scans active sources only

Per Codex: a paused/retired source with a future retry_after_at shouldn't nag
'rate-limited for 12h+' — it's intentionally out of polling. Scope long_rest to
active (matching the other operational items). Test: paused/retired rate-limited
sources stay quiet.
