Module chat_watch 

Durable, supervised jobs started by a standing chat. Results use the same draft/turn delivery as task completion notices; jobs never run twice.

Constants

DEFAULT_TIMEOUT

Default and maximum job durations, in seconds.

MAX_CONCURRENT

Reservations count against this global limit too.

MAX_TIMEOUT

Long jobs should be filed as tasks instead.

OUTPUT_CAP

Maximum retained output, shared by stdout and stderr.

Functions

authorize

Only the standing chat’s own environment chooses the destination.

execute

The launch gate prevents commands from starting before their identity is durable. This internal entry point cannot execute a job from another PID.

start

Reserve a slot and detach a supervisor. Return only after it has recorded startup (including an executable spawn failure, which is reported normally).

supervise

Internal supervisor entry point. The per-job OS lock is a durable lease: released on process death, without age-based guesses or restarting the job.

sweep

Reconcile completed or abandoned watches and queue each notice once. Lock order is watch store, job lease, talk store. Transient errors are retried.
