Description
Hi,
Any idea why continuation jobs are stuck in awaiting state? This is happening everything

Parent Job was always succeeded.
Setup
2 Clients and 1 Processing server (Hangfire 1.6.17)
MySql Database
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the continuation job behavior with two clients, one processing server, Hangfire 1.6.17, and a MySQL database. Trace why a continuation remains in Awaiting after its parent succeeds, then document a reliable diagnosis and verify the behavior is resolved under the reported setup.
