+> **Callback semantics.** Callbacks are invoked fire-and-forget: `Cron` never waits for one to settle, and reschedules a job *before* invoking it. Two *different* jobs that fall due on the same tick may therefore overlap.
+>
+> A job that is still running when it next falls due is skipped — and **keeps** being skipped until that invocation settles. `Cron` provides no timeout by design, so **bounding your own callback is your responsibility**: a promise that never settles means that job never runs again for the lifetime of the process, even though the scheduler stays healthy and the job stays visible in `jobs` and in the heap. Other jobs are unaffected.
+>
+> One warning is emitted per stuck run (not per tick), including how long the invocation has been running. That warning goes to `log.warn` and is **not** gated by `config.cron.log` — a dropped execution reported on a channel a config flag can silence would be indistinguishable from a healthy scheduler.
+>
+> The same-job guarantee holds for the lifetime of a **registration**, not of a key: `unregister` followed by `register` on a key whose invocation is still in flight builds a fresh job object with a fresh guard, so the replacement can run alongside the abandoned invocation. That is also the only way to recover a permanently stuck job.
+>
+> Synchronous throws and asynchronous rejections are both caught and reported through `log.error`, with the error's stack interpolated into the message. Neither can stop the scheduler. Note that a rejection which previously escaped `register()` as an unhandled rejection — process-fatal under Node's default — is now swallowed into `log.error`.

 > `MinHeap` is also exported as a public subpath (`@stonyx/cron/min-heap`) and can be imported directly for advanced usage.
 
+## CronService
+
+The default export above is `Cron`: a fire-and-forget interval registry. `@stonyx/cron/service` is a separate, heavier class for jobs that need CRUD, persistence, a run log and error backoff. It is not a drop-in replacement and the two do not share a scheduler.
+
+The two classes agree on the guarantee — the same job is never run concurrently with itself, and different jobs may overlap — but not on the mechanism or on what you can observe. `Cron` invokes callbacks fire-and-forget and reports a skipped run only through the `config.cron`-gated log. `CronService` **awaits** `onJobDue`, its return value shapes `status`/`error`/`summary`, and a refused run comes back to the caller as a value that no log setting can suppress — it is not logged.
+
+```js
+import CronService from '@stonyx/cron/service';
+
+const service = new CronService();
+service.onJobDue = async (job) => ({ status: 'ok', summary: 'done' });
+
+await service.start();
+const job = await service.add({ name: 'Nightly', schedule: { kind: 'every', everyMs: 86_400_000 }, payload: { kind: 'agentTurn', message: 'go' } });
+
+const result = await service.run(job.id, 'force');
+```
+
+### The `run()` contract
+
+`run(id, mode)` resolves with an `ExecuteResult`. It **never** invokes the callback twice for one job, and it will refuse rather than queue:
+
+| `status`    | `reason`            | Meaning                                                                        |
+| :---------- | :------------------ | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `'ok'`      | —                   | The callback resolved. `summary` and `durationMs` are set.                     |
+| `'error'`   | —                   | The callback threw or rejected. `error` carries the message; backoff is applied. |
+| `'skipped'` | `'not due'`         | `mode` was `'due'` and the job's next run time has not arrived. Use `'force'` to run anyway. |
+| `'skipped'` | `'already running'`  | A previous invocation of **this** job has not settled. The call is refused, not queued, and nothing is logged. |
+| `'skipped'` | `'removed'`         | The job was removed between the lookup and the claim. The callback did not fire. |
+
+`run()` throws (rather than returning a result) when `id` is not a registered job: `Error: Job not found: <id>`.
+
+**Concurrency.** A job is bounded to one in-flight invocation on every path — manual `run()` and the timer both claim it first. **Different** jobs are not bounded: the callback is deliberately invoked outside the internal lock, so N concurrent `run()` calls on N distinct jobs produce N concurrent callbacks. The scheduler itself never generates that fan-out (its timer path invokes a due batch sequentially); only a caller can. If you drive `run()` from a request handler, bound it on your side. Taking the callback out of the lock is what stops a callback that never settles from blocking `add`/`update`/`remove`; restoring the bound by putting it back would restore that deadlock.
+
+### Breaking changes in this line
+
+Four consumer-visible changes landed with the phase split (#34). All are measured against the emitted `dist/service.d.ts`:
+
+1. **`ExecuteResult.reason` narrowed** from `string` to `'not due' | 'already running' | 'removed'`, and gained the `'removed'` member. Comparing it against a literal outside the union, or `switch`ing on one, is now a compile error (`TS2367` / `TS2678`). Assigning it into `string | undefined` and spreading it are unaffected. The type is exported as `SkipReason`.
+2. **`CronService` is nominally typed.** It carries ECMAScript hard-private members, so the declarations emit `#private;` and a structurally hand-built test double no longer assigns to `CronService` (`TS2741: Property '#private' is missing`). The break is one-directional: `class X extends CronService` still compiles, and assigning a real `CronService` to your own hand-written interface still compiles. **Migration:** declare your own interface and depend on that instead of a `CronService`-typed mock.
+3. **`claimJob`, `settleJob` and `executeClaimed` are not published.** They were never a supported API; a claim taken without its matching settle strands the job permanently.
+4. **`run()` no longer serializes across jobs** — see the concurrency note above.
+
+`SkipReason`, `ExecuteResult`, `JobDueResult`, `ServiceStatus`, `ListOptions` and `OnJobDueCallback` are all exported from `@stonyx/cron/service`, so an exhaustive handler over `reason` is expressible.
+
 ## Configuration
 
-Optionally, logging and debugging can be enabled through `config.cron`:
+Optionally, informational logging and debugging can be controlled through `config.cron`:
 
 ```js
 config.cron = {
-  log: true // enable cron job logs
+  log: true // informational cron job logs; defaults to true
 };
 
 config.debug = true; // optional: debug logs for job registration and execution
 ```
 
+`config.cron.log` gates **informational** messages only. Error reports and the
+stuck-job warning described above are never gated by it, so setting it to `false`
+cannot make a dropped execution silent.
