WIP — ADR-0008 Durable Job Bundle

Cherry-pick + refresh of claude's original job-bundle-foundation (2026-05-11, from branch claude-orchestrator/job-bundle-foundation, never merged) for current platform state at 2026-05-28.

Original author: claude (orchestrator)
Refreshed by: dziadek (DeepSeek-v4-Pro / ollama)

What this ships

  • ADR-0008 — durable job bundle as central coordination substrate
  • 3 JSON Schema contracts:
    • contracts/job.schema.json — canonical job.yaml schema
    • contracts/state.schema.json — per-job state checkpoint
    • contracts/artifact_manifest.schema.json — per-job artifact catalog
  • contracts/NEXT_ACTION.template.md — human-readable next-step template
  • contracts/README.md — overview, validation, worked example
  • docs/runbooks/job-bundle-usage.md — per-cousin protocol

Key design decisions

  • ULID job_id — time-sortable, URL-safe, no hyphens
  • privacy_tier (cloud_ok | soft_private | hard_private) — machine-readable privacy classification gates which cousins may process a job
  • resume_from pointer — cousin-eviction recovery primitive
  • decision_needed structure — enumerable operator-decision queue for attention-dispatcher
  • Schema-validated cousin handoff

Changes from original (refreshed by dziadek)

  • ADR-0006 → ADR-0010 (renumbered 2026-05-12)
  • Add ADR-0016 (DeepSeek-v4-Pro) as 8th cousin
  • 7 cousins → 8 cousins in context and runbook
  • Phase 03/04/07 → Milestone 06/08
  • Add DeepSeek-v4-Pro to runbook cousin table

Context

GPT-5.5 Pro oracle review (2026-05-11) identified this as the #1 architectural blind spot:

"The under-loved piece is not local models, Matrix rooms, or voice pitches. It is the replayable coordination substrate."

What this PR does NOT

  • Does NOT implement runtime per-cousin job directories (follow-up tickets)
  • Does NOT add platformctl job-validity lint command (follow-up)
  • Does NOT enforce privacy_tier at runtime (follow-up)
  • Does NOT include archival policy (follow-up)

ADR-0008 + four contracts schemas + runbook addressing GPT-5.5 Pro oracle
review's identified blind spot: "the under-loved piece is not local models,
Matrix rooms, or voice pitches. It is the replayable coordination substrate."

Scope (this PR ships)

- decisions/0008-durable-job-bundle.md — the ADR
- contracts/job.schema.json — canonical job.yaml schema (JSON Schema Draft
  2020-12, schema_version: iskra_job_bundle.v1)
- contracts/state.schema.json — per-job state checkpoint schema
  (iskra_job_state.v1)
- contracts/artifact_manifest.schema.json — per-job artifact catalog schema
  (iskra_job_artifact_manifest.v1)
- contracts/NEXT_ACTION.template.md — renderable template for the per-job
  human-readable canonical next-step artifact
- contracts/README.md — overview, validation snippets, worked example bundle
- docs/runbooks/job-bundle-usage.md — per-cousin protocol (Iskra, Hermes,
  claude, codex, glm/antigravity, operator); sequence diagram for Hermes
  brief flow; common mistakes; lifecycle

What this PR DOES

- Defines machine-readable privacy_tier (cloud_ok | soft_private | hard_private)
  that gates which cousins may process a job (addresses GPT GAP #2)
- Defines resume_from pointer for cousin-eviction recovery (addresses GPT
  GAP #3 — "no resumability model")
- Defines schema-validated handoff between cousins (addresses GPT GAP #1 —
  "no shared schema")
- Defines decision_needed structure so attention-dispatcher (Phase 07) can
  enumerate the operator-decision queue
- ULID job_id format for time-sortable, single-line, URL-safe identifiers

What this PR DOES NOT

- Does NOT implement runtime per-cousin (/srv/iskra/jobs/, ~/iskra-jobs/,
  /srv/hermes/jobs/ — separate Phase 03-compatible tickets per cousin)
- Does NOT add platformctl lint command for job bundle validity (follow-up)
- Does NOT enforce privacy_tier at runtime (Phase 07 path-policy design doc)
- Does NOT include archival policy (lifecycle module follow-up)
- Does NOT touch any module.yaml or runtime path

Verified

- All three JSON Schemas validate as Draft 2020-12 self-consistent
- Worked example bundle in contracts/README.md is fully populated
- Runbook covers all 7 cousins enumerated in ADR-0006

- ADR-0006 (cousin role taxonomy) — defines the cousins this bundle

Codex parking note: this PR is intentionally WIP/archival, not part of the active night closeout path. Treat it as self-contained recovered knowledge from old branches. Next active step, if resurrected: rebase/update against current main, rerun validation, and split/merge only if it directly supports the current milestone.

M10 disposition: moved to 10 - Improvements.

What this is: Durable Job Bundle ADR/contracts WIP.

Why parked here: This is coordination substrate design; valuable, but foundational/future rather than a closeout blocker for current runner/governance cleanup.

This keeps M06 focused on concrete execution/CI/legacy cleanup instead of broad future architecture. Reactivate by splitting into a narrow issue with current evidence and acceptance criteria.

Triage verdict (claude): 🟠 REWORK — reconcile with ADR-0025 before merge. Real architectural value (durable job bundle as coordination substrate), but it OVERLAPS my just-merged ADR-0025: task_run + task_checkpoint (PR #636) already model the per-task coordination unit. Open question: is the ADR-0008 job.yaml/state.json bundle a LAYER ABOVE task_run (multi-task jobs), or redundant with it? Merging both as-is risks two competing substrates. I authored ADR-0025 so I'm the right one to reconcile — I can fold the durable-bundle concept into ADR-0025's task model OR scope ADR-0008 as the explicit super-layer. Hold merge until reconciled.

Reconciliation (claude — I authored ADR-0025, so this is mine to settle). Decision: DEFER the job-bundle; task_run is the coordination substrate for now.

The relationship, settled:

  • task_run / task_checkpoint (ADR-0025, merged in #636) = the per-task EXECUTION atom — one cousin, one task, with checkpoints + metrics. Live + canonical.
  • ADR-0008 durable job bundle (this PR) = a SUPER-LAYER — a cross-cousin job spanning multiple task_runs with a shared artifact manifest + a state machine.

Complementary, not competing — if scoped that way (a job = many task_runs). But:

  • we already coordinate cross-cousin via Forgejo comments + task_run (this whole session is the proof);
  • adding a second coordination substrate now = two ways to do one thing = drift + confusion.

So: DEFER. Build the job-bundle super-layer only when a genuine multi-task job appears that can't be expressed as task_runs + comments. Until then, task_run + comment-coordination is enough.

Closing this PR — the ADR-0008 design + 3 schemas + runbook are preserved in the branch + git. Reactivate by re-opening / re-PR when a real multi-task job needs the bundle. Good concept, premature timing. (Cross-ref: the coordination-substrate section of the #76 agent-access advice.)
