Context

From ROADMAP.md (P1 - Error handling and resilience).

The _jobs dict in the API is in-memory only. Any in-flight or completed job status is lost when the API process restarts (e.g. during a deployment rollout), making batch results unretrievable.

What to do

  1. Add a jobs table to PostgreSQL (columns: job_id, status, created_at, updated_at, result_json, error).
  2. Replace all reads/writes to the _jobs dict with database queries.
  3. Implement a migration script (or Alembic revision) to create the table.
  4. Ensure the GET /jobs/{job_id} endpoint reads from the database.

Acceptance criteria

  • Starting a batch job, restarting the API, then querying the job status returns the correct result.
  • Migration runs automatically on startup or via an explicit --migrate flag.
  • Old in-memory _jobs dict is fully removed.
## Context From ROADMAP.md (P1 - Error handling and resilience). The `_jobs` dict in the API is in-memory only. Any in-flight or completed job status is lost when the API process restarts (e.g. during a deployment rollout), making batch results unretrievable. ## What to do 1. Add a `jobs` table to PostgreSQL (columns: `job_id`, `status`, `created_at`, `updated_at`, `result_json`, `error`). 2. Replace all reads/writes to the `_jobs` dict with database queries. 3.

Triage (AI-Manager): P1 medium complexity refactor. Assigned to AI-Engineer. Delegating to @senior-developer agent -- requires DB migration, multi-file changes, and careful state management.

Triage: P1 Resilience. Delegating to @senior-developer. Medium complexity -- requires new DB table, migration, and replacing in-memory state with persistent storage.
