The Engine Room registry template

Every standing job registered with a class, a delivery home, and an end date. An unregistered live job is drift, by definition.

How to use it

Register every standing background job with the fields below before you create the second one. The governing definition is the part to copy: an unregistered live job is drift, by definition.

The template

• Plain-language purpose, one line.
• Class: bookkeeping, push-born watch, long-horizon guard, for-the-operator delivery, one-off, or exempt.
• Delivery home: routine output goes to one designated machine-noise chat, never the main chat.
• Escalation bar: the condition under which this job may reach the main chat, written in advance.
• Sunset or review: push-born watches sunset in 14 days; long-horizon guards get a quarterly review instead.
• Weekly digest reviews drift, expiries, and escalations.
