Context

The _jobs dictionary in the API process holds all batch job state in memory. Every API restart wipes all pending and completed job records, making async batch processing unreliable.

Roadmap reference: ROADMAP.md > P1 > Error handling and resilience > _jobs dict is in-memory only

What to do

  1. Create a jobs table in PostgreSQL (or add a SQLAlchemy model) with columns for: job_id, status, created_at, updated_at, result (JSONB), error.
  2. Replace all reads/writes to _jobs with database queries.
  3. Ensure job creation, status updates, and result retrieval all go through the database.
  4. Add a database migration (Alembic or a plain SQL script in migrations/) for the new table.
  5. Update relevant tests to account for the new persistence layer.

Acceptance criteria

  • Submitting a batch job, restarting the API, and then querying job status returns the correct persisted state.
  • The _jobs in-memory dict is removed.
  • A migration script for the new table is included.
