Retrospective edition / BATCH

Reconcile every batch item

Use immutable input manifests, stable custom IDs, per-item status, bounded replay, and an explicit partial-result policy.

01 / DECIDE

Architecture decision

Use it for offline evaluation, enrichment, media jobs, or high-volume work without interactive latency.

Use immutable input manifests, stable custom IDs, per-item status, bounded replay, and an explicit partial-result policy. Map input, output, state, tools, and side effects as one observable path, then name the owner of reconcile every batch item.

02 / OPERATE

Three-step field procedure

  1. 01

    Lock the contract

    Write down the caller, data classification, success condition, timeout, cancellation, and ownership. Use it for offline evaluation, enrichment, media jobs, or high-volume work without interactive latency.

  2. 02

    Run one bounded path

    Build one end-to-end path with correlation, typed state, and reversible failure handling. Use immutable input manifests, stable custom IDs, per-item status, bounded replay, and an explicit partial-result policy.

  3. 03

    Verify the signal

    Turn acceptance into a repeatable fixture, contract test, or browser test. Reconciliation proves there is no silent loss and every input has one terminal disposition.

03 / BOUND

Operational boundary

Limit sensitive datasets, define expiry, and download time-limited media results promptly when applicable.

04 / PROVE

Acceptance evidence

Reconciliation proves there is no silent loss and every input has one terminal disposition.
