Closes #107 (with #108 folded in).

What changed

• Resume reports the real due time. Result.Jobs() used the engine's exact NotBefore for a held retry. The job row has a later, jittered run_at, so a push at the engine's time reached Execute early and got ErrNotClaimable ("it is due at ..."). Resume now reads each held step's run_at from its job row (new hostcore.Tx.StepJobRunAt, on postgres and sqlite) and uses it when it is later than both the engine's time and now. That also covers a first attempt that a worker postponed.
• Suite tests (both backends, in list.go):
  • ResumeListsARunningStep: a step claimed before the Pause is still listed by Resume, and a push of it gets ErrNotClaimable while it is leased.
  • ResumeListsARetryAtItsJobsTime: a retry held across Pause/Resume is listed at its job row's time, after the engine's. Without the fix it fails (RunAt 18:49:16.59, job row 18:49:18.11).
• Docs (N5): hosts.md, llms.txt and the Resume doc comments no longer call a push of a running step "harmless". They say what happens: Execute returns ErrNotClaimable, the handler answers 503, and the queue retries until the step settles. Then Execute returns nil and the handler answers 200.

Review

An independent implementation review found no blocking issues. Its two optional items are both done in the second commit: read the row for every held step, not only Attempt > 1, and update the Resume comments.

Tests

go test ./... in the root, sqlite/ and postgres/ (against Postgres 18), and internal/parity.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Resuming a paused run now respects the scheduled retry time for its steps, including retry delays.
  • Running steps are included in resume results and are retried safely until they finish, avoiding premature task execution.
• Documentation
  • Clarified how resumed jobs and dispatch commands are reported, when retries occur, and how timeout timers are handled.

Walkthrough

Resume uses persisted step-job timing to set dispatch command timing when the job is due later than the current command time and run update time. Tests and documentation cover resumed retry jobs, running steps, and task retry responses.

Changes: Resume behavior

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Step-job time lookup internal/hostcore/backend.go, postgres/backend.go, sqlite/backend.go	The transaction interface and both database backends provide the run_at time for a step job and report whether a matching job exists.
Resume dispatch timing internal/hostcore/store.go, internal/hosttest/pause.go, internal/hosttest/list.go	For each returned dispatch, Resume uses the step job’s RunAt as NotBefore when the job exists and its time is later than both the command’s current NotBefore and the run’s UpdatedAt. A test checks that a retry held across a pause uses the persisted job time.
Running-step listing and retry behavior internal/hosttest/pause.go, internal/hosttest/list.go, documentation/hosts.md, llms.txt, postgres/store.go, sqlite/sqlite.go	Tests check that Resume lists a claimed running step and that another worker cannot claim it. Documentation describes returned jobs, retry responses, job due times, and the instruction not to carry out returned DispatchStep commands.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #107 requires a hosttest for a step claimed before Pause and Resume, on both backends, plus updated Resume guidance in documentation/hosts.md. The supplied change summary reports ResumeListsARunningStep in the test registry and its implementation in internal/hosttest/pause.go, with checks for the running lease and ErrNotClaimable. It also reports the required hosts.md wording for 503 retries until the step settles, followed by 200 after settlement. The summary states that the suite covers both backends.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The job-row run_at lookup, backend implementations, retry-time test, and related Resume comments support the same Resume timing and leased-step behavior addressed by #107 and the PR intent. The additional llms.txt and backend documentation updates mirror that behavior. No unrelated change is established by the supplied evidence.

[mobiusops]

Approve: Resume now sends each held step at its job row's due time, and the two new suite tests cover the early-push case on both backends.

This closes #107 with #108 folded in. The row read runs inside the Resume transaction after persist, so it sees the same times the claim checks, and claims don't change run_at, so a running step keeps its engine time.

Nits

• N1. The line "next retry of its task, or for the scheduled RunOnce. Each claim reads past the held jobs that are" in documentation/hosts.md:709 runs to about 100 columns; the lines around it wrap near 72.

Add a Resume timing test for a postponed first attempt.

Both SQLite and PostgreSQL run the shared host-test list. The existing tests cover a leased first attempt and a postponed retry, but no test combines Resume with a worker-postponed first attempt. A retry-only implementation would therefore pass the current relevant tests while missing the broadened behavior.

Reuse the existing postponement fixture pattern without duplicating the retry case. Pause the run after the first attempt is postponed, call Resume, and assert that the returned RunAt equals the persisted job row.
