# 02-runner — serial job runner in `internal/batch` Add a new package `internal/batch`: the job lifecycle and the serial state machine. It knows how to create a job, drain its targets one at a time, write each target's outcome, bump the lease, handle cancellation, and enforce the caps and idempotency. It knows **nothing** about HTTP, the guard, or the real fetch pipeline: the per-target work is an injected function, and persistence is the `*dcache.DB` from task 01. ## Context `internal/pdfpool` is the wrong shape (in-memory, coalescing, forgets results). The runner is the opposite: store-backed, persistent, one job = many distinct targets, results written to the store as they complete. It is deliberately serial. ## Public surface (exact names — the given test compiles against them) ```go package batch type Options struct { Mode string `json:"mode,omitempty"` Question string `json:"question,omitempty"` Pages string `json:"pages,omitempty"` Grep string `json:"grep,omitempty"` JQ string `json:"jq,omitempty"` Context bool `json:"context,omitempty"` Recover bool `json:"recover,omitempty"` } type Target struct { URL string `json:"url"` Options Options `json:"options,omitempty"` } // Result is a completed target's outcome. The runner JSON-encodes it into the // store's target.result column and decodes it back in Status. type Result struct { Content string `json:"content"` Meta map[string]any `json:"meta,omitempty"` } type FetchFunc func(ctx context.Context, t Target) (Result, error) // Status views returned by Status (mapped from the store rows). type Job struct { ID string Status string Error string TargetsTotal int TargetsDone int } type TargetStatus struct { Idx int URL string Status string Result *Result Error string Hint string } type Config struct { TTL time.Duration // 0 → 24h TargetsPerJob int // 0 → 32 JobsPerCaller int // 0 → 1 JobsTotal int // 0 → 8 } var ( ErrTooManyTargets = errors.New("too many targets") ErrCallerBusy = errors.New("busy") ErrBusy = errors.New("jobs busy") ) func New(db *dcache.DB, fetch FetchFunc, cfg Config, log *slog.Logger) *Runner func (r *Runner) Submit(ctx context.Context, caller, callerClass string, targets []Target) (id string, reused bool, err error) func (r *Runner) Cancel(id string) bool func (r *Runner) Status(id string) (Job, []TargetStatus, bool) ``` The runner depends on `*dcache.DB` (task 01) for persistence; the `FetchFunc` is the only injected behavior. Zero `Config` fields fall back to the defaults above. ## Rules 1. **Idempotency first.** `Submit` derives `idem_key = SHA256(caller + "\x00" + canonical(targets))` where `canonical` is `json.Marshal` of the decoded targets (so field order and whitespace don't matter). If a job whose lease has not expired (`BatchJobByIDem`) exists for the same `(caller, idem_key)` — any status — return it with `reused=true` and do **not** create a new job or enforce the caps. Idempotency is lease-scoped, so it is "reuse within TTL, fresh after". 2. **Caps second.** targets/job > `TargetsPerJob` → `ErrTooManyTargets`; a live (`queued`/`running`) job already exists for the caller → `ErrCallerBusy`; live jobs total >= `JobsTotal` → `ErrBusy`. "Live" is by status, not lease — read from `LiveBatchJobs`/`LiveBatchJobsTotal`. The typed errors map to `422`/`429` in the API layer. 3. **Submit transitions to `running` synchronously** (before the drain goroutine starts) so a caller-busy check against a just-submitted job is deterministic. The job is created `queued` then immediately `running`; `queued` is only ever persisted as the crash-window state that `MarkInFlightFailed` reaps. 4. **Serial drain.** The worker iterates targets in `idx` order, one at a time, and does not start target `i+1` until `i` is written to the store. Each target's `FetchFunc` result or error is written immediately (JSON-encoded); a target failure does not stop the job. 5. **Lease on completion.** Each target write bumps the job lease (task 01); the first and last target therefore share one expiry. 6. **Cancellation.** `Cancel` flips the job to `cancelled` and signals the worker; the worker finishes the in-flight target, stores it, and stops before the next. A `cancelled` job's completed targets stay readable until the lease lapses. `Cancel` returns false for an unknown id or a job already in a terminal state. 7. **Terminal statuses.** When the last target is written: all `done` → `done`; all `failed` → `failed`; a mix → `partial`. Set exactly once. 8. **No restart concept in the runner.** It is created fresh each process start; `main` (task 03) calls `dcache.MarkInFlightFailed("restart", now)` before constructing the runner. Completed targets on a restart-killed job stay readable; the job is never resumed. 9. **No panic on input.** Library code never panics: bad ids, missing targets, a `FetchFunc` panic is recovered into a target error and the job continues. The drain runs under `context.WithoutCancel` of a background context; only the per-job cancellation stops it. ## Given Copy `_files/batch/runner_test.go` → `internal/batch/runner_test.go`. It uses an in-memory `dcache` plus a `FetchFunc` that records call order and can fail or panic. Asserts serial order (peak in-flight 1), failure isolation (`partial`), idempotent resubmit (`reused`, no double-drain), the three caps, cancel (in-flight stored, later targets `pending`), and panic recovery. ## Gate `make gate` green; `go test ./internal/batch/` green under `-race`.
