 module Postburner
-  # Must implement a perform method, if an exception is raised the job

+  # Base class for all Postburner background jobs using Single Table Inheritance (STI).
   #
-  # Job won't run unless queued_at is set, and is set to a time prior to
-  # the time the job runs.
+  # Postburner::Job provides a PostgreSQL-backed job queue system built on Backburner
+  # and Beanstalkd. Every job is stored as an ActiveRecord model, enabling database
+  # queries, foreign key relationships, and full audit trails.
   #
-  # TODO Mailer uses ActiveJob::Arguments... probably should use that here
-  # as well. Decided how to migrate existing jobs or allow both - Opt to 
-  # allow both: rescue from ActiveJob::DeserializationError and use the
-  # plain hash, probably log it too.
+  # @abstract Subclass and implement {#perform} to define job behavior
   #
-  # Add `cancelled_at` that blocks jobs performing if present.
