Context

Job state is stored in an in-memory _jobs dict. Any API restart wipes all pending and completed job results, making async batch processing unreliable.

Roadmap reference: ROADMAP.md > P1 > Error handling and resilience

What to do

  • Add a jobs table to the PostgreSQL schema (or equivalent migration) with columns for job ID, status, created_at, updated_at, and result/error payload
  • Update the job creation, status update, and retrieval logic to read/write from the database
  • Remove or deprecate the in-memory _jobs dict
  • Ensure the /jobs and /jobs/{id} endpoints continue to work as before

Acceptance criteria

  • Creating a batch job inserts a row in the jobs table
  • Job status updates are reflected in the database, not just memory
  • Restarting the API does not lose job records
  • /jobs and /jobs/{id} return correct data after restart
  • A database migration or schema file is updated/added

Triage: Assigned to @AI-Engineer. P1 feature (medium). Delegating to @senior-developer agent. This requires database schema changes (new jobs table), migration logic, and updating the job CRUD operations. More complex than a simple fix.
