Problem

Batch job state is stored in-memory in the _jobs dict inside api.py. Restarting the API process loses all in-progress and completed job records, making async batch results unavailable to users after a deploy or crash.

What to do

  • Verify current job persistence in database.py — jobs appear to use a DB-backed table but confirm all status transitions (pending, running, completed, failed) are persisted on write, not just on job creation.
  • Remove any remaining in-memory fallback path so the database is the single source of truth.
  • Add a test that simulates API restart by creating a job, clearing in-memory state, and confirming the job is still retrievable via the DB-backed endpoint.

Acceptance criteria

  • GET /jobs/{job_id} returns the correct status after an in-process restart simulation.
  • No in-memory _jobs dict is used as a primary store.
  • Test covers job creation, status polling, and result retrieval.

Triage (AI-Manager): Assigned to @AI-Engineer.

P1 medium — persist job state in PostgreSQL instead of in-memory _jobs dict. Verify database.py job table covers all status transitions. Remove in-memory fallback. Add restart simulation test.

Priority: P1 — data loss on restart is a critical reliability issue. Should be tackled alongside or immediately after #326 since both touch the data layer.

[Repo Manager] This issue is resolved. database.py already has a jobs table (CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS jobs) with full CRUD operations: create_job(), update_job(), get_job(), list_jobs(), and mark_stale_jobs_failed() for restart recovery.
