Final synthesis โ idempotent, backpressured, retrying job intake under a deterministic request schedule.
Checkpoint: production architecture
The last gate. Submit duplicates, exceed capacity, run everything: if all three counters come out exactly as the tests demand, you have implemented the core contracts of a production job platform โ idempotency, backpressure, and exactly-once execution โ in a form you can defend line by line.
Common failures: accepting duplicates (the seen-set came after the capacity
check), counting rejections wrong (duplicates are rejected twice in the
schedule: once per extra delivery), or double-executing because RunAll did
not clear pending. Each maps to a real production bug with a real outage
story.
