feat!: job observability spec, Reject and /queues routes - #173
Job-level observability for vartop (pending, processing, completed, failed jobs with payload), BullMQ/River style. Redis = single source of truth; varmq-ts, varmq-rs, redisq and vartop meet at a language-neutral spec, not a Go import.
Job close now reports outcome:
job.close()
- storage.Acknowledge(ackID) // success or failure alike+ if err or panic+ storage.Reject(ackID, err.Error()) // final failure, not requeued+ else+ storage.Acknowledge(ackID) // completed
New pieces:
+spec/+├── openapi.yaml # REST API 1.0.0, incl. /queues routes+└── redis-storage.md # key layout, job envelope, Job Records, retention+contract/ # zero-dep Go module: QueueInspector, QueueStats, JobRecord, JobState+adr/0001-spec-is-the-contract.md+adr/0002-reject-in-iacknowledgeable.md+GLOSSARY.md
interface.go # IAcknowledgeable gains Reject; contract types re-exported as aliases
mux.go # GET /queues, GET /queues/{id}/jobs?state&offset&limit
job.go # Reject on error/panic; envelope carries enqueued_at
/queues is served once per Queue ID for each bound queue whose storage implements optional QueueInspector. Other queues left out.
Evidence
TestJobOutcome: worker acknowledges success, rejects a panic; failed Reject keeps job open; no ack storage = no-op.
Reject is a new required method on IAcknowledgeable. Ships in v1, no v2 module path (decided in ADR-0002).
Blast Radius: adapters
Custom IAcknowledgeable storage and mocks stop compiling until they add Reject.
Released redisq v1.5.1 and sqliteq v0.3.0 lack Reject, so examples/redis-* and examples/sqlite-persistent do not build until those ship it (CI does not build them).
Failed/panicking jobs on persistent/distributed queues no longer call Acknowledge.
Root go.mod requires github.com/goptics/varmq/contract v0.1.0 with a local replace. Tag contract/v0.1.0 on the merge commit before any varmq release, or go get of varmq fails.
Worker reports job outcome to ack storage: Acknowledge on success,
Reject(ackID, reason) on failure. varmq has no retries, so every
failure is final. Reason kept on jobAck (48 B class), job[T] unchanged.
Optional QueueInspector (QueueID, QueueStats, Jobs) for storage that
keeps shared counts and Job Records. Bound inspectors are listed by
Queue ID under GET /queues and GET /queues/{id}/jobs.
BREAKING CHANGE: custom IAcknowledgeable implementations must add Reject.
redisq can implement contract.QueueInspector without importing varmq.
varmq keeps the public names as aliases. Root and examples replace
the module locally; users need a contract/vX tag.
Spec: Purge deletes all job data incl. records, attempts and stats,
keeps consumer state and dedup keys (as redisq PR #28).
Resolve interface.go, docs and CHANGELOG against #172 and the docs plain-language pass. Pin contract to v0.1.0 (replace stays for local builds). Add contract replace to example modules.
The pull request adds Reject for failed jobs, shared queue-inspection contracts, and REST endpoints for queue summaries and paginated job listings. It also adds enqueue timestamps to job envelopes and specifies the HTTP API and Redis storage contract.
A new contract module defines job states, statistics, records, and the QueueInspector interface. The main package aliases these types and constants. The root and example modules reference the contract module.
Workers record error or panic text on failed jobs. Job closing calls Reject for failures and Acknowledge for successes. Serialized job views include an enqueue timestamp. Tests, mocks, and persistence documentation cover these behaviors.
Workers register bound queues. The mux serves sorted queue summaries and paginated job listings, with validation and error responses covered by tests.
HTTP and Redis specifications spec/openapi.yaml, spec/redis-storage.md, CHANGELOG.md
The OpenAPI specification describes HTTP routes and schemas. The Redis specification defines storage keys, job records, outcome operations, retention, and inspection behavior. The changelog lists these additions.

Update the incompatible queue adapters before merging. Also fix the isolated test failures and clarify that successful rejection cannot retract requeued copies. Release publication needs the contract tag available first; queue retention and shared attempt counts remain bounded concerns.

Publish the contract/v0.1.0 tag before any varmq release that requires it.
Consumers ignore this module's replace directive. They fetch github.com/goptics/varmq/contract v0.1.0 from the module proxy. A varmq release that goes out before that tag exists fails to resolve for those consumers. No workflow in .github/workflows creates or checks the tag. Add tag creation or a tag check to the release steps.

Cover the result-worker error path in TestJobOutcome.
NewResultWorker stores a returned error with ij.fail(err.Error()) at main.go:118. Without that call, a returned error on an acknowledging queue would be acknowledged instead of rejected. TestJobOutcome covers panics in NewWorker and a manual fail call. It does not cover a returned error from a result worker, so removing the fail call would not fail that test.
Add a subtest that binds a result worker with WithQueue to an acknowledging mock. Return an error from the worker. Assert that Rejected() contains the error text and that Acked() is empty.

Assert the enqueued_at value, not only its digit count.
The pattern at job_test.go:194 has no anchors and no value check, so any 13-digit number matches. A fixed value such as 1762228800000 passes. A change that stops stamping EnqueuedAt from the clock would not fail this test. The pattern still catches a zero or omitted field and a seconds-precision value.
Read time.Now().UnixMilli() before calling j.Json() and again after it. Decode the enqueued_at field from the returned JSON. Assert that the decoded value lies between the two readings, inclusive. Both readings use the same clock, so the check does not depend on timing.

Record the ack ID on the success path in Reject, after the ShouldFailReject check. Do this the same way Acknowledge records its ID. Keep the existing reason record and its assertion, and add an ID assertion for the reject path. Apply the same change to MockPersistentPriorityQueue.

- Line 76: Update the “failed or panicking job” description to qualify the

storage did not accept the rejection and the job may be given out again. Keep
this consistent with the existing “what this guarantees” section.

- Around line 19-21: Update the queueRegistry lifecycle so retained
QueueInspector entries are bounded or are removed when their queues are no
longer bound; ensure /queues reflects the same lifecycle. Preserve the existing
behavior of replacing an entry when an existing QueueID is rebound, and

handled.

documented outcome: add a oneOf requiring both counts and totals in one branch,

intact so responses matching both branches or neither are rejected.
Review comments at @spec/redis-storage.md:
- Line 197: Update sections 6.3 and 6.4 of the Redis storage specification so
`ZREM` removes the job ID from the opposite state set and `HDEL` removes its job
record unconditionally, before any retention-dependent writes. Keep writing the
completed or failed record and adding it to its state set conditional on
retention, ensuring a reused job ID appears only in its newest state.
- Line 221: Update the Redis storage specification around the `:attempts` field
so attempt counts are isolated per enqueue, even when a Job ID is reused;
describe the enqueue-specific keying consistently for Requeue, Acknowledge, and
Reject. If the storage model cannot distinguish enqueues, explicitly define
`attempts` as covering only one enqueue and avoid implying counts are shared
across reused Job IDs.
- Line 192: Resolve the unknown-ack-ID contract by checking the implemented
behavior, then align step 1 of Sections 6.3 and 6.4 in the Redis storage spec
with the `IAcknowledgeable.Acknowledge` comment in `interface.go`. Ensure the
chosen rule consistently covers Reject outcomes after a visibility-timeout
requeue, including whether a `:failed` record is written.

Bound queueRegistry or define how bound queues leave it.
queueRegistry.Store keeps each bound QueueInspector for the life of the process. Nothing deletes entries. Each new distinct QueueID adds a retained queue object and a /queues entry, so a long-lived process that keeps creating new queue IDs grows in memory and in /queues response size. Rebinding an existing ID replaces its entry and does not add one.

Key the :attempts counter by enqueue, not by the reusable Job ID.
After the dedupe window ends, a producer can reuse a Job ID while the earlier job with that ID is still queued or processing. Requeue, Acknowledge, and Reject all read or write the same <base>:attempts <id> field. One job's requeue then changes the other job's attempts. The first job to finish deletes the count for both. Give each enqueue its own key, or state that attempts covers only one enqueue.

Document the orphaned :started and :attempts gap in mixed-version operation.
During a rolling upgrade, an old requeue removes the :nacked and :timeouts entries. It does not clear :started or increment :attempts. The orphaned :started field remains until purge. A later Job Record for that job can report too few attempts. Section 8 says records "cover only the new ones", which does not describe this case.
Suggested spec addition
- An older producer does not count `submitted`, and an older consumer writes no records and counts nothing. While old and new instances share a queue, the totals and records cover only the new ones.
+- While old and new instances share a queue, an older requeue does not `HDEL <base>:started` or `HINCRBY <base>:attempts`. Its `:started` entry stays until purge, and a Job Record can undercount attempts for that job.
- A new field in an item or a Job Record is a minor version. A changed meaning, or a removed or renamed key or field, is a major version.
The required code fix belongs in redisq, which is outside this repository.

Assert the request context reaches both inspector calls.
GET /queues passes r.Context() to QueueStats, and GET /queues/{id}/jobs passes it to Jobs. The inspectedQueue mock ignores the context in both methods, and no subtest checks it. Replacing either call with context.Background() leaves TestMuxQueues passing.
Record the received context in the mock. Then give the request a distinguishable context and assert that the mock received it. httptest.NewRequest uses context.Background(), so a plain request cannot detect that replacement.

- **A failed or panicking job is acknowledged too.** VarMQ recovers a panic, counts the job as failed and reports the panic. Then it acknowledges the job like any other. Nothing in VarMQ retries a job.
- **A job whose acknowledgement fails is reported.** If `Acknowledge` returns `false`, the worker sends [`ErrAcknowledgeJob`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/goptics/varmq#ErrAcknowledgeJob) to `Errs()` and the handler. The job's function has already run.
- **A failed or panicking job is rejected.** VarMQ recovers a panic, counts the job as failed and reports the panic. Then it calls `Reject`, which removes the job from storage like `Acknowledge` does. The job does not run again, unless `Reject` fails: then the storage can give it out again (see [what this guarantees](#what-this-guarantees)). Nothing in VarMQ retries a job, so every failure is final.

The original finding is supported. Line 76 states a guarantee that the redisq storage contract does not provide. The suggested replacement is itself incorrect, so the wording below replaces it.
Correct the Reject guarantee for visibility-timeout requeues.
A successful Reject does not remove a requeued copy of the job. After a visibility timeout, storage can requeue the job. The requeued copy can then run while the first run continues, or later, after the first run ends. Line 78 already describes this case, so line 76 should not state that the job does not run again.

-- **A failed or panicking job is rejected.** VarMQ recovers a panic, counts the job as failed and reports the panic. Then it calls `Reject`, which removes the job from storage like `Acknowledge` does. The job does not run again, unless `Reject` fails: then the storage can give it out again (see [what this guarantees](#what-this-guarantees)). Nothing in VarMQ retries a job, so every failure is final.+- **A failed or panicking job is rejected.** VarMQ recovers a panic, counts the job as failed and reports the panic. Then it calls `Reject`. A successful `Reject` does not remove a copy that storage already requeued. After a visibility timeout, storage can requeue the job, and the requeued copy can run while the first run continues or after it, even when `Reject` succeeds (see [what this guarantees](#what-this-guarantees)). Nothing in VarMQ retries a job, so every failure is final.
- **A job whose acknowledgement fails is reported.** If `Acknowledge` or `Reject` returns `false`, the worker sends [`ErrAcknowledgeJob`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/goptics/varmq#ErrAcknowledgeJob) to `Errs()` and the handler. The job's function has already run.
- **Taken jobs run.** A worker with these queues takes one job per free slot and starts it. A [`Pause`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/goptics/varmq#Worker.Pause) or [`Stop`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/goptics/varmq#Worker.Stop) does not park a job the worker already took. The job is unacknowledged, and after a long wait a visibility timeout could give it to another consumer. A visibility timeout is the time some storage, such as redisq, waits for an acknowledgement. After that time, the storage gives the job out again. See [shutting down](#shutting-down).

Review comment at @docs/src/content/docs/persistence/overview.mdx at line 76:
Update the failed-job description in the persistence overview to remove the
guarantee that the job will not run again after a successful Reject. State that
a copy already requeued by storage after a visibility timeout can run while the
original execution continues or after it, even if Reject succeeds; retain the
existing reference to what this guarantees.

Make the Reject and Outcomes subtest independent of the Acknowledge subtest.
The subtest asserts m.Acked() equals ["id"], but Reject never records an ack. The only ack comes from the Acknowledge sibling. Running go test -run 'TestMockPersistentQueue/Reject_and_Outcomes' skips that sibling, so the assertion fails.

Make the “Reject and Outcomes” subtest independent by creating its own
MockPersistentQueue within that subtest, and assert that m.Acked() is empty
because Reject does not record acknowledgments. Preserve the existing rejection
assertions.

Make the priority "Reject and Outcomes" subtest create its own acknowledged ID.
The subtest asserts m.Acked() equals ["id"], but Reject records only the reason. The only ack comes from the sibling Acknowledge subtest. Running TestMockPersistentPriorityQueue/Reject_and_Outcomes alone skips that sibling, so m.Acked() is empty and the assertion fails. Call Acknowledge inside this subtest, using a fresh mock.
Suggested fix
t.Run("Reject and Outcomes", func(t *testing.T) {
+ m := NewMockPersistentPriorityQueue()+ assert.True(t, m.Acknowledge("id"))
assert.True(t, m.Reject("id", "boom"))
m.ShouldFailReject = true

Update the “Reject and Outcomes” subtest in TestMockPersistentPriorityQueue to
use a fresh mock and acknowledge its own ID before checking Acked; keep the
rejection and outcome assertions intact so the subtest passes independently.

Summary
Job-level observability for vartop (pending, processing, completed, failed jobs with payload), BullMQ/River style. Redis = single source of truth; varmq-ts, varmq-rs, redisq and vartop meet at a language-neutral spec, not a Go import.
