+# @spfn/core/job — pg-boss background jobs
+
+Type-safe background jobs on PostgreSQL (pg-boss): a fluent `job()` builder with typed
+input/output, cron scheduling, run-once, event-driven triggers, batch processing, and
+compensation — grouped in a `JobRouter` and registered through `defineServerConfig()`.
+
+## Import paths
+
+One entry point. pg-boss is a peer dependency you install yourself.
+
+```typescript
+import {
+    job, defineJobRouter,
+    initBoss, getBoss, stopBoss, isBossRunning, registerJobs,
+} from '@spfn/core/job';
+import { defineEvent } from '@spfn/core/event';   // for .on(event) jobs
+import { Type } from '@sinclair/typebox';         // for .input()/.output() schemas
+```
+
+```bash
+pnpm add pg-boss        # required peer dependency
+```
+
+In a normal SPFN app you do **not** call `initBoss` / `registerJobs` yourself — wiring a
+`JobRouter` into `defineServerConfig().jobs(...)` does both at server start (see Quick Start).
+
+---
+
+## Public API (complete)
+
+From `@spfn/core/job`:
+
+- Builder: `job(name)` → `JobBuilder`
+- Router: `defineJobRouter(jobs)`, `mergeJobRouters(base, extra)`, `collectJobs(router, prefix?)`,
+  `isJobDef(v)`, `isJobRouter(v)`
+- Queue policy: `resolveQueuePolicy(job)`
+- pg-boss lifecycle: `initBoss(options)`, `getBoss()`, `stopBoss()`, `isBossRunning()`,
+  `shouldClearOnStart()`
+- Registration: `registerJobs(router)` — **takes a `JobRouter`, not an array**
+- Types: `JobDef`, `JobRouter`, `JobRouterEntry`, `JobOptions`, `JobQueuePolicy`,
+  `JobSendOptions`, `JobHandler`, `CompensateHandler`, `InferJobInput`, `InferJobOutput`,
+  `BossOptions`, `BossConfig` (deprecated alias of `BossOptions`)
+
+`JobBuilder` methods: `.input(schema)`, `.output(schema)`, `.on(event)`, `.cron(expr)`,
+`.runOnce()`, `.options(opts)`, `.timeout(ms)`, `.compensate(fn)`, `.handler(fn)`.
+
+`JobDef` methods (returned by `.handler()`): `.send(input?, opts?)`,
+`.sendBatch(inputs?, opts?)`, `.run(input?)`.
+
+### Removed API — do not use
+
+The old `core/docs/job.md` documents an API that **no longer exists**. None of these are
+exported; using them will not compile:
+
+| Removed | Use instead |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `defineJob({ name, handler })` | `job(name).input(...).handler(...)` builder |
+| `enqueue(jobDef, payload, opts)` | `jobDef.send(input, opts)` |
+| `schedule(name, cron, fn)` | `job(name).cron(expr).handler(fn)` |
+| `registerJobs([jobA, jobB])` (array) | `registerJobs(defineJobRouter({ jobA, jobB }))` |
+| `concurrency`, `attempts`, `backoff`, `delay`, `priority: 'high'` options | `batchSize`, `retryLimit`, `retryDelay`, `startAfter`, numeric `priority` |
+
+`registerJobs` exists but its signature changed: it accepts a **`JobRouter`**, not an array
+of jobs.
+
+---
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Define jobs
+
+```typescript
+// src/server/jobs/send-email.job.ts
+import { job } from '@spfn/core/job';
+import { Type } from '@sinclair/typebox';
+
+export const sendEmailJob = job('send-email')
+    .input(Type.Object({
+        to: Type.String(),
+        subject: Type.String(),
+        body: Type.String(),
+    }))
+    .options({ retryLimit: 3 })
+    .handler(async (input) =>
+    {
+        await emailService.send(input.to, input.subject, input.body);
+    });
+```
+
+### 2. Group into a router
+
+```typescript
+// src/server/jobs/index.ts
+import { defineJobRouter } from '@spfn/core/job';
+import { sendEmailJob } from './send-email.job';
+
+export const jobRouter = defineJobRouter({ sendEmailJob });
+```
+
+### 3. Register with the server (does initBoss + registerJobs)
+
+```typescript
+// server.config.ts
+import { defineServerConfig } from '@spfn/core/server';
+import { appRouter } from './routes';
+import { jobRouter } from './jobs';
+
+export default defineServerConfig()
+    .routes(appRouter)
+    .jobs(jobRouter)   // connectionString comes from env.DATABASE_URL automatically
+    .build();
+```
+
+### 4. Trigger jobs
+
+```typescript
+await sendEmailJob.send({ to: 'user@example.com', subject: 'Welcome', body: 'Hi!' });
+await sendEmailJob.run({ to: 'test@example.com', subject: 'Test', body: 'x' }); // sync, for tests
+```
+
+---
+
+## Job types
+
+`job(name)` starts a builder. The terminal `.handler(fn)` finalizes and returns a `JobDef`.
+The builder kind is selected by which modifier you chain — they are not mutually exclusive in
+type, but a job should be *one* of these:
+
+### Standard — triggered via `.send()`
+
+```typescript
+const typedJob = job('typed')
+    .input(Type.Object({ userId: Type.String(), action: Type.String() }))
+    .handler(async (input) =>
+    {
+        // input: { userId: string; action: string }
+        await processAction(input.userId, input.action);
+    });
+
+const noInput = job('simple').handler(async () => { await db.cleanup(); });
+```
+
+A `Type.Union([...])` input is supported: `send`, `run`, `sendBatch` and the handler are
+typed on the whole union, so each member is accepted and a non-member is rejected — no cast
+and no per-member overload.
+
+### Cron — scheduled
+
+```typescript
+const dailyReport = job('daily-report')
+    .cron('0 9 * * *')      // every day 09:00
+    .handler(async () => { await reportService.generateDaily(); });
+```
+
+| Cron | Meaning |
+|------|---------|
+| `*/5 * * * *` | every 5 minutes |
+| `0 * * * *` | every hour |
+| `0 9 * * *` | every day 09:00 |
+| `0 0 * * 0` | every Sunday 00:00 |
+| `0 0 1 * *` | first day of month |
+
+Cron jobs take **no input** — pg-boss invokes the handler with `{}`.
+
+Removing a cron job from the router leaves its schedule behind in the DB; the opt-in
+[orphan schedule sweep](#orphan-schedule-sweep) unschedules it on the next boot.
+
+### RunOnce — once per server start
+
+```typescript
+const initCache = job('init-cache')
+    .runOnce()
+    .handler(async () => { await cache.warmup(); });
+```
+
+Enqueued with `singletonKey: 'runOnce:<name>'` on an `exclusive` queue, so concurrent
+instances don't double-run it.
+
+`exclusive` deduplicates against the `created`, `retry` and `active` states, so a boot while
+the previous run is still queued or running is dropped. Once that run *completes*, the next
+boot enqueues it again — the guarantee is **once per server start**, not once ever. For
+once-ever semantics, keep a marker of your own in the database and return early.
+
+### Event-driven — `.on(event)`
+
+Subscribe to an event; the input type is **inferred from the event payload**. Emitting the
+event enqueues the job (decoupled — one event can drive many jobs).
+
+```typescript
+import { defineEvent } from '@spfn/core/event';
+
+export const userCreated = defineEvent('user.created', Type.Object({
+    userId: Type.String(),
+    email: Type.String(),
+}));
+
+export const sendWelcome = job('send-welcome')
+    .on(userCreated)        // input typed as { userId: string; email: string }
+    .handler(async (payload) => { await emailService.sendWelcome(payload.email); });
+
+await userCreated.emit({ userId: '123', email: 'user@example.com' }); // triggers sendWelcome
+```
+
+`.on()` consumes the event's queue (`event:<name>`), not `<job.name>`. You do **not** call
+`.send()` on an event-driven job — emit the event instead.
+
+---
+
+## Job options (`.options()`)
+
+```typescript
+job('important-task')
+    .input(Type.Object({ id: Type.String() }))
+    .options({
+        retryLimit: 5,          // max retries        (default 3)
+        retryDelay: 5000,       // ms between retries  (default 1000)
+        expireInSeconds: 600,   // handler timeout     (default 300)
+        priority: 10,           // higher = first      (default 0)
+        singletonKey: 'unique', // dedupe key — see Queue policy below
+        policy: 'exclusive',    // what singletonKey dedupes (default: see below)
+        retentionSeconds: 86400,// keep completed jobs (default 604800 = 7d)
+        batchSize: 1,           // jobs per worker poll(default 1)
+    })
+    .handler(async (input) => { await processImportant(input.id); });
+```
+
+`.timeout(ms)` is sugar for `expireInSeconds` (`Math.ceil(ms / 1000)`):
+
+```typescript
+job('quick').timeout(10000).handler(async () => { /* ... */ }); // expireInSeconds: 10
+```
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Notes |
+|--------|------|---------|-------|
+| `retryLimit` | number | 3 | max retry attempts |
+| `retryDelay` | number | 1000 | ms between retries |
+| `expireInSeconds` | number | 300 | handler timeout (seconds) |
+| `priority` | number | 0 | higher = processed first |
+| `singletonKey` | string | — | dedup key; effect depends on [`policy`](#queue-policy-and-deduplication) |
+| `policy` | `JobQueuePolicy` | see below | [what `singletonKey` deduplicates](#queue-policy-and-deduplication) |
+| `retentionSeconds` | number | 604800 | completed-job retention |
+| `batchSize` | number | 1 | jobs fetched per worker poll; `> 1` ⇒ parallel |
+
+### Queue policy and deduplication
+
+`singletonKey` on its own deduplicates nothing. pg-boss puts a unique index on
+`(queue name, COALESCE(singleton_key, ''))` only for non-`standard` queues; on a `standard`
+queue the insert's `ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING` never conflicts, so the key is stored and
+ignored. The policy is a property of the **queue**, set from the job definition at
+registration.
+
+| policy | one job per `(queue, singletonKey)` among states… |
+|---|---|
+| `standard` | none — the key is ignored |
+| `short` | `created` (queued, not yet picked up) |
+| `singleton` | `active` (running) — many may queue, one runs at a time |
+| `stately` | one per state among `created`, `retry`, `active` |
+| `exclusive` | `created` + `retry` + `active` together — a second enqueue while one is pending or running is dropped |
+
+**Default rule:** an explicit `.options({ policy })` always wins; otherwise a job that is
+`.runOnce()` or sets `options.singletonKey` gets `exclusive`; everything else stays
+`standard`. Plain jobs must stay `standard` — `exclusive` with no key deduplicates on
+`COALESCE(singleton_key, '')` and would collapse the whole queue to one pending job.
+
+**Deduplication is scoped by queue name.** The queue name is part of every index, so two
+different queues never deduplicate against each other even with the same key. Event-driven
+jobs dedupe on their `event:<name>` queue, not on `<job.name>`.
+
+**Event-driven jobs share `event:<name>`**, so the policy resolved from one subscriber
+applies to every subscriber of that event, and `emit()` carries no `singletonKey` — a
+non-standard policy there deduplicates on the empty key, i.e. one un-started job per event
+queue. Give `.on(event)` jobs an explicit `policy: 'standard'` unless collapsing pending
+emits is exactly what you want, and don't put `options.singletonKey` on one.
+
+**A send-time `singletonKey` needs a policy on the definition.** `.send(input, {
+singletonKey })` cannot change the queue's policy. On a `standard` queue the send is
+accepted and the key silently does nothing; the first such send logs
+
+```
+[Job:<name>] singletonKey ignored: queue policy is "standard"; set .options({ policy: 'exclusive' }) (or another non-standard policy) to deduplicate
+```
+
+once per job name. Put `policy` on `.options()` to make the key take effect.
+
+```typescript
+const reindex = job('reindex')
+    .options({ policy: 'exclusive' })       // now send-time keys deduplicate
+    .handler(async () => { await search.reindex(); });
+```
+
+#### Upgrading
+
+Queues created by earlier versions of this package exist as `standard`, and pg-boss
+`create_queue` is `INSERT … ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING` — an existing queue keeps its policy and
+`updateQueue` cannot change one. Registration therefore compares the wanted policy against
+`getQueue()` and, on a mismatch, logs an error naming the queue, both policies and the
+remedy; boot continues with a queue that does not deduplicate. The remedy is to
+`getBoss().deleteQueue('<name>')` in a quiet window — **it drops that queue's job rows** —
+and restart. In development, `clearOnStart` recreates the queue with the new policy
+automatically.
+
+---
+
+## Sending jobs
+
+### `.send(input?, options?)` → `Promise<string | null>`
+
+Enqueue one job (returns the pg-boss job id, or `null` if deduped). Jobs with no input
+schema take only the options arg.
+
+```typescript
+await sendEmailJob.send({ to: 'u@x.com', subject: 'Hi', body: '...' });
+
+await sendEmailJob.send(
+    { to: 'u@x.com', subject: 'Hi', body: '...' },
+    {
+        startAfter: 60,                       // delay seconds — or a Date
+        priority: 10,                         // override default priority
+        singletonKey: 'welcome-u@x.com',      // dedupe this invocation
+    },
+);
+```
+
+`JobSendOptions`: `startAfter?: number | Date`, `priority?: number`, `singletonKey?: string`.
+Send-time options override the job's defaults.
+
+### `.sendBatch(inputs?, options?)` → `Promise<void>`
+
+Bulk-insert via `pg-boss.insert()` — a single query, far faster than a `.send()` loop.
+
+```typescript
+await sendEmailJob.sendBatch(
+    users.map(u => ({ to: u.email, subject: 'Welcome', body: render(u) })),
+);
+```
+
+Combine with `batchSize` for distributed parallel processing: each worker fetches `batchSize`
+jobs and runs them with `Promise.allSettled`; failed jobs are individually marked
+(`boss.fail`) and retried — the whole batch does not fail together. pg-boss advisory locks
+prevent duplicate processing across instances.
+
+### `.run(input?)` → `Promise<TOutput>`
+
+Invoke the handler **synchronously, bypassing pg-boss** — for unit tests / debugging only.
+No queue, no retries, no boss required.
+
+```typescript
+await sendEmailJob.run({ to: 't@x.com', subject: 'Test', body: 'x' });
+```
+
+---
+
+## Compensation & output (workflow/saga)
+
+`.output(schema)` types the handler's return; `.compensate(fn)` defines rollback. These are
+hooks for workflow/saga orchestration — they do not run automatically on plain `.send()`.
+
+```typescript
+export const chargePayment = job('charge-payment')
+    .input(Type.Object({ orderId: Type.String(), amount: Type.Number() }))
+    .output(Type.Object({ chargeId: Type.String() }))
+    .compensate(async (input, output) =>
+    {
+        await paymentService.refund(input.orderId, input.amount); // rollback
+    })
+    .handler(async (input) =>
+    {
+        return await paymentService.charge(input.orderId, input.amount);
+    });
+```
+
+---
+
+## Job router
+
+`defineJobRouter` groups jobs (flat, nested, or mixed). `collectJobs` flattens nested
+routers — nested keys become dotted names (`email.sendWelcome`).
+
+```typescript
+// flat
+export const jobRouter = defineJobRouter({ sendWelcome, dailyReport, initCache });
+
+// nested + mixed
+export const jobRouter = defineJobRouter({
+    initCache,                                       // flat
+    email: defineJobRouter({                         // nested → 'email.sendWelcome', ...
+        sendWelcome,
+        sendReset,
+    }),
+});
+```
+
+`mergeJobRouters(base, extra)` combines two routers into a new one (neither input is
+mutated) and throws when a top-level key exists in both. `.jobs()` uses it — you rarely call
+it directly.
+
+---
+
+## Server wiring
+
+`defineServerConfig().jobs(router, config?)` at server start: reads `env.DATABASE_URL`, calls
+`initBoss({ connectionString: DATABASE_URL, ...config })`, then `registerJobs(router)`.
+
+**`.jobs()` may be called once per domain router.** Repeated calls **merge**, the way
+`.routes()` composes — they do not replace one another:
+
+```typescript
+export default defineServerConfig()
+    .routes(appRouter)
+    .jobs(emailJobRouter, { clearOnStart: isDev })   // pg-boss config on one call only
+    .jobs(billingJobRouter)
+    .jobs(reportingJobRouter)
+    .build();
+```
+
+Two collisions are possible and both fail loudly:
+
+- a **router key** present in two calls throws at config time
+  (`jobs(): key "x" is already registered by an earlier .jobs() call`);
+- two jobs sharing a **`job.name`** — the pg-boss queue name — throw in `registerJobs()` at
+  boot, before any queue or worker is created;
+- passing the pg-boss `config` on more than one call throws too; there is one boss per server.
+
+```typescript
+export default defineServerConfig()
+    .routes(appRouter)
+    .jobs(jobRouter, {
+        schema: 'spfn_queue',                          // default 'spfn_queue'
+        clearOnStart: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development',
+    })
+    .build();
+```
+
+The second arg is `Omit<BossOptions, 'connectionString'>` — **do not pass
+`connectionString`** here; it is taken from `env.DATABASE_URL`. If `DATABASE_URL` is unset,
+server start throws `"Jobs require database connection."`.
+
+### `BossOptions` (for manual `initBoss`)
+
+| Option | Type | Default | Notes |
+|--------|------|---------|-------|
+| `connectionString` | string | (required) | PostgreSQL URL (auto-supplied by `.jobs()`) |
+| `schema` | string | `'spfn_queue'` | pg-boss tables live here |
+| `maintenanceIntervalSeconds` | number | 120 | cleanup/archive interval |
+| `monitorIntervalSeconds` | number | — | state-change events; must be `>= 1` |
+| `clearOnStart` | boolean | false | delete pending jobs on boot (dev only) |
+| `sweepOrphanSchedules` | boolean | false | unschedule crons no longer declared on any registered router (see below) |
+
+### Orphan schedule sweep
+
+`boss.schedule` rows persist in the DB, so removing a cron job from the router leaves its
+schedule behind — pg-boss keeps creating jobs on every cron tick with no worker to consume
+them, and they pile up forever. With `sweepOrphanSchedules: true`, `registerJobs` runs a
+sweep once after registration: any schedule whose name is not a cron job declared on a
+router registered in this process is unscheduled. Queues and existing job rows are never
+deleted — the sweep only stops the pile-up. Cron names accumulate across `registerJobs`
+calls, so registering several routers is safe. When no cron job has been declared at all,
+the sweep is skipped. Failures only log an error; startup is never blocked.
+
+Leave the sweep disabled (the default) when any of these apply, because the sweep only
+knows the routers registered in this process and would unschedule everything else:
+
+- multiple apps share the same pg-boss schema,
+- schedules are created directly via `getBoss().schedule(...)`,
+- rolling deploys can boot an older router version while a newer one is live.
+
+`sslmode=require`/`prefer` in the URL is rewritten to `ssl: { rejectUnauthorized: false }`
+so self-signed certs work.
+
+---
+
+## Pitfalls & anti-patterns
+
+- **`registerJobs` takes a `JobRouter`, not an array.** `registerJobs([a, b])` is the removed
+  API. Use `registerJobs(defineJobRouter({ a, b }))` — or just `.jobs(router)`, which is the
+  normal path and also runs `initBoss`.
+- **Don't call `initBoss` / `registerJobs` yourself in an SPFN app.** `defineServerConfig().jobs()`
+  does both. Calling `initBoss` twice logs `"pg-boss already initialized"` and returns the
+  existing instance (the second config is ignored).
+- **`.send()` before the boss is up throws** `"pg-boss not initialized"`. Only call `.send()`
+  after the server has started (e.g. inside route/job handlers), never at module top-level.
+- **Don't pass `connectionString` to `.jobs()`.** Its config is `Omit<BossOptions,
+  'connectionString'>`; the connection comes from `env.DATABASE_URL`. (Old docs showing
+  `.jobs(router, { connectionString })` are wrong.)
+- **Event-driven jobs are triggered by `emit()`, not `.send()`.** `.on(event)` binds the job
+  to the `event:<name>` queue; emitting the event enqueues it. Calling `.send()` on such a job
+  targets the wrong queue.
+- **`.run()` is not `.send()`.** `.run()` executes the handler inline with no queue, retries,
+  or timeout — tests/debugging only. Production dispatch is `.send()` / `.sendBatch()`.
+- **Cron and runOnce jobs take no input.** They are invoked with `{}`. Don't give them
+  `.input()` and expect data.
+- **Job names must be unique across the (flattened) router.** Two jobs sharing a `name` map to
+  the same pg-boss queue and collide. Nested router keys are namespaced into the *router* path
+  but the pg-boss queue is `job.name` — keep `name` strings unique. `registerJobs()` throws on
+  a duplicate name at boot, quoting both router keys.
+- **`singletonKey` does nothing on a `standard` queue.** Set `policy` on the definition — see
+  [Queue policy and deduplication](#queue-policy-and-deduplication).
+- **`clearOnStart: true` deletes pending/scheduled jobs on boot.** Development only — it wipes
+  queued work (and the subscribed event queues) every restart.
+- **`expireInSeconds` is a handler timeout, not a delay.** A handler exceeding it is treated as
+  failed and retried (up to `retryLimit`). Make handlers idempotent.
+- **`batchSize > 1` runs jobs concurrently.** Handlers must be safe to run in parallel;
+  failures are isolated per job, not per batch.
