+# External conversation jobs
+
+Protocol version: 1. This is an authenticated local IPC interface for trusted
+same-user applications. It uses the public `require('polygram')` client. Route
+allowlisting does not isolate clients sharing the bot's IPC credential.
+
+## Configuration
+
+`bots.<bot>.externalJobs` contains `enabled`, optional `maxPending` (default
+1000), and `routes`, an object whose keys identify configured destinations.
+Each route has `chatId` and optional `threadId`. Forum destinations require an
+explicit configured isolated topic. Version 1 dispatch supports Claude CLI only.
+Route names and request IDs are nonempty bounded strings; request IDs must be
+stable across transport retries. Destinations are frozen at acceptance.
+
+## Operations
+
+All successful responses have the IPC envelope `ok: true`.
+
+- `external_jobs_info` with no payload returns `protocolVersion: 1`, `enabled`
+  and `supportedBackends: ["cli"]`.
+- `external_job_submit` takes `routeId`, `requestId`, `task` (trusted text) and
+  `payload` (untrusted JSON object). Returns `accepted: true`, `duplicate`,
+  and `job`.
+- `external_job_get` takes `routeId` and `requestId`; returns `job`.
+- `external_jobs_status` takes `routeId`; returns `enabled`, `paused`, `pending`
+  and `running`. It does not grant permission to resume automation.
+
+`job` includes `routeId`, `requestId`, `state`, `reportState`, `turnId`,
+`reportReceipt`, `error`, `inactive` and `paused`. The execution state is one of
+`queued`, `running`, `succeeded`, `failed`, `interrupted`, `unknown`.
+Report state is `none`, `pending`, `delivered` or `unknown`.
+`inactive: true` requires positive runtime evidence that the old turn is no
+longer active; missing process state or a timeout is insufficient.
+
+Submission acknowledges committed storage, not agent execution. A repeated
+identity with identical canonical content returns the same job. Different
+content conflicts even when sanitization would produce identical stored text.
+Payload plus task is bounded to 32 KiB. Queue capacity rejects before acceptance.
+Completed identities remain retained. Unknown execution is never replayed by
+Polygram. Callers query or retry the original identity after a lost reply.
+
+Reports use the destination's Telegram/Channels routing. Ordinary report parts
+are sent as plain text to the frozen destination, without chat-root fallback. Ordinary
+reports are durably split into parts before sending; only definitively unsent
+parts may retry. Sending with a lost receipt becomes `unknown`. Channels
+acknowledgement alone does not prove final-report completion.
+
+## Operator controls
+
+`/automation status`, `/automation pause` and `/automation resume` operate in
+configured destinations for the configured human operator. A stop also persists
+pause before interrupting current work, including while idle. Alias routes share
+pause by effective session. If pause persistence fails, the daemon keeps an
+in-memory hold, still attempts interruption and warns the operator. Repair
+storage before restarting: that emergency hold cannot survive process exit.
+Human conversation continues while paused.
+No IPC operation resumes automation.
+
+## Compatibility and limitations
+
+Clients negotiate the protocol before submitting. A daemon without version 1
+must be reported as incompatible; never fall back to notification-only `send`
+and call that a job submission. No exactly-once model side effects or Telegram
+delivery is promised. Domain workflows, schedules and outcome verification
+belong to the calling application.
