Hi!
I think I'm describing the correct trigger for this bug, but the association is definitely there - it seems like at the end of pulling a large OCI image like macos-runner (~218GB compressed), which can take ~20mins in my scenario, a paused worker will automatically resume its work.
I'm guessing some routine inside the pull command is blocking and causing some kind of orchard connection restart, leading to the establishment of a fresh connection which is then likely resetting the 'pause' status (which should be a stored state on the server?).
