 ### Fixed
 - Fixed Autotask ticket not being automatically linked to new runs when internal ticket is resolved by implementing independent Autotask propagation strategy (now checks for most recent non-deleted and non-resolved Autotask ticket on job regardless of internal ticket status, ensuring PSA ticket reference persists across runs until explicitly resolved or deleted)
+- Fixed internal and Autotask tickets being linked to new runs even after being resolved by removing date-based "open" logic from ticket query (tickets now only link to new runs if they are genuinely unresolved, not based on run date comparisons)
