Summary

Queues own submitted; a worker no longer counts it. In-memory queues become QueueInspectors, so they still have a submitted count.

 Worker.Metrics()
-  Submitted()            # always 0 on a distributed consumer
   Completed() Successful() Failed()
 GET /workers/{name}.metrics
-  submitted              # openapi 1.1.0
 GET /queues
+  memory:<InstanceID>:<n>   # BindQueue, BindPriorityQueue, WithQueue/WithPriorityQueue w/o own inspector
+    counts: pending, processing     totals: submitted, completed (successful), failed
 GET /queues/{id}/jobs
+  pending page in hand-out order; other states empty (finished jobs not kept)
  • Count points: handle counts submitted before the enqueue (-1 on refusal); processing +1 when the source hands a job out, -1 at every exit (run, skip, stale close, park drop); completed = successes, like redisq.
  • No job growth: each job's ackRef points at its queue's one shared jobAck{q: nil, totals: m}; jobs stay in their size classes.
  • Listed only while the worker is under GET /workers: named workers, until stopped retention ends; a name takeover unlists the old worker's queues.
  • Memory Queue IDs stay out of Instance Records queue_ids.
  • In-memory priority Values() now returns hand-out order.

Evidence

  • memory_inspector_test.go: counts {submitted 3, completed 2, failed 1}, unique IDs, priority order, self-inspecting and ack storage skipped, listed with its worker (retention, restart), batched jobs counted, name takeover, foreign registry entry.
  • source_test equation: pending + processing + completed + failed == submitted.
  • go test -race -count=1 ./... passes.
  • Review: ponytail-review, code-reviewer (2 rounds), security audit. Fixed: completed counted failures, batched jobs uncounted, submitted after enqueue, ack storage, unchecked assertion, add/drop race, offset+limit overflow, unbounded registry growth.

Performance (follow-up commits)

  • processing counted once per run of one handle's jobs (memRun), not per job: the dispatcher's +1 and every worker's -1 shared one cache line. 16 producers, in-memory Queue, P-cores, benchstat n=5: c8 137 -> 109 ns/job, c24 129 -> 89; drain c24 95 -> 54 (main: 61). A finished job counts as processing until its run ends, as NumProcessing already did.
  • Listing and unlisting in-memory queues ordered by memMx; a Start or drop that lost the name race no longer lists or unlists the wrong worker's queues.
  • Codecov gaps covered: shrunk-queue page, batched jobs closed or purged, shared-storage batch, late drop.

Merge Danger

Door: one-way

Removes a public method and a REST field.

Blast Radius: API consumers

  • Metrics().Submitted() callers stop compiling; read the queue's totals.submitted.
  • GET /workers/{name} clients reading metrics.submitted get nothing.
  • Pending payloads of in-memory queues now go out over the REST API, as redisq's already did: protect Handler.
  • docs/examples pin v1.10.0 and are updated at release.

A worker processes jobs, it does not receive them: on a distributed
consumer Metrics().Submitted() was always 0. Remove it; Metrics keeps
Completed, Successful, Failed. GET /workers/{name} drops
metrics.submitted (openapi 1.1.0).

So in-memory setups keep a submitted count, BindQueue/BindPriorityQueue
and WithQueue/WithPriorityQueue storage without its own QueueInspector
get one (memQueue), listed under GET /queues as memory:<instance>:<n>:
pending and processing counts, submitted/completed/failed totals,
pending jobs paged in hand-out order. The handle counts submitted; the
pool counts processing and completed, fail() counts failed. Each job
points at its queue's one shared jobAck (q nil, totals set), so jobs
gain no field and no allocation and stay in their size classes.

Memory Queue IDs stay out of Instance Records queue_ids. In-memory
priority Values() now returns hand-out order.

BREAKING CHANGE: Metrics.Submitted() and metrics.submitted in
GET /workers/{name} are removed; read a queue's totals.submitted.
- totals.completed counts successful jobs only (succeed), as redisq's
  completed: a failed job was counted in both
- processing runs from hand-out to finish, so jobs in a batch or parked
  are counted (as redisq counts popped, unacked jobs); every skip, stale
  close and drop releases it
- submitted is counted before the store and taken back on refusal, so a
  read never shows completed above submitted
- Jobs: no offset+limit (offset near MaxInt panicked); return before
  copying the queue when offset is past the end
- memory queues are listed only while their worker is in WorkerRegistry:
  unnamed workers leave nothing, stopped retention and a name takeover
  unlist them, Start lists them again
- acknowledging WithQueue storage gets no wrapper
- CHANGELOG/openapi: named-only listing, payloads now served, topic gap

Walkthrough

The change adds in-memory queue accounting and inspection for eligible queues. It exposes queue counts and pending-job records, updates priority-queue listing order, and removes submitted-job counts from worker metrics and related outputs.

Changes

In-memory queue inspection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Track in-memory queue jobs
job.go, queue.go, priority.go, main.go
Queue wrappers track submitted jobs. Jobs update in-memory completed and failed totals, and enqueue failures reverse their count updates.
Inspect and register in-memory queues
memory_inspector.go, worker*.go, internal/queues/priority.go, mux.go, spec/openapi.yaml, memory_inspector_test.go, source_test.go, CHANGELOG.md
Eligible queues expose counts and pending-job records. Worker paths update processing totals and register queues; priority-queue values follow dequeue order. The API contract and tests cover queue inspection and registry behavior.
Remove submitted worker metrics
metrics.go, mux.go, persistent*.go, topic.go, worker_binder.go, examples/*, docs/examples/*, metrics_test.go, dedup_test.go, source_test.go, spec/openapi.yaml, README.md, CHANGELOG.md, worker.go
The submitted worker counter is removed from the metrics API, REST worker details, and Prometheus output. Related examples, tests, and documentation are updated.

Exclude refused jobs from submitted totals.

When a stats read overlaps a refused Add, totals.submitted can include the refused job and then decrease. A /queues client can display the inflated value. Keep refused additions out of the reported total while preserving the pre-enqueue count needed for fast workers.

Synchronize outcome updates with stats reads.

After a successful job increments completed, QueueStats can still count it as processing. For a queue with one submitted job, the reported sum can therefore be two. Synchronize the outcome update and processing decrement with QueueStats reads.

addMemQueue, dropMemQueues and Start's re-listing share memMx,
replacing the check-store-recheck: a drop waits until m is listed.
Tests: a page past a queue that shrank; batched jobs closed or purged
before they start leave processing.
memQueue.processing took two contended adds per job: the dispatcher's
+1 against every worker's -1 on one cache line. fillBatch now adds the
batch, the pool subtracts what left it once per batch.

16 producers + Wait, in-memory Queue, P-cores (benchstat n=5):
c8 137 -> 109 ns/job (-21%), c24 129 -> 89 (-31%); drain c24 95 ->
54 ns/job (-44%), below main (61). A finished job counts as
processing until its batch ends, as NumProcessing already did.
A batch can mix memQueues: two WithQueue handles on one storage. The
per-batch count put the whole batch on jobs[0]'s handle and drifted
(A=+3, B=-3 for good after a park). memRun adds once per run of one
handle's jobs: one add per batch with one handle, as before (benchstat:
no change).

Start lists its in-memory queues only while it still owns its name,
under memMx: a racing Start of another worker under the name may have
dropped them already.
A Start that lost its name to a racing Start of the old owner could
unlist the owner's in-memory queues after it relisted them.
CodeRabbit: each GET /queues/{id}/jobs page of a priority queue cloned
and sorted the whole backlog. Page pops a copy of the heap
offset+limit times: O(n + (offset+limit) log n), no n log n sort.
Page and memQueue.Jobs return nothing for offset < 0 or limit < 1, for
Go callers; HTTP already rejects them.
processing drops when a job's run ends, just after completed/failed
count it; CI caught TestMemQueueCounts reading in between.

…lows, REST) (#186)

* docs(site): run examples on varmq main, pin contract in playground

examples/go.mod -> varmq main pseudo-version + contract v0.7.0. Playground go.mod now carries the contract require: varmq main still requires contract v0.3.0 (replace only), so Run broke without it.

* docs(site): three worker counters, submitted on the queue

Metrics.Submitted gone (#176). Drop submitted_total and the metrics-equation example; point to GET /queues totals.submitted.

* docs(site): REST routes for queues, jobs and workflows

Route table, queue_ids/strategy/sources, three counters, 202/501/503 and new 409 cases, wider caution.

* docs(site): workflows guide

* docs(site): job cancel, remote outcome, queue pause, WaitContext

Owners: jobs (cancel, other processes), queues (pausing a queue), waiting (WaitContext). One-line links from lifecycle, context, troubleshooting. NumPending vs Len -> lifecycle.

* docs(site): bind shared storage with WithQueue and NewQueue

Deprecated binders kept in one adapters row. Optional interfaces table, redisq/sqliteq matrix, redis recovery times per redisq v1.6.0 (old RedisFlow scene removed: modelled 6 s/30 s), internals in <details>, dedup owner job-ids.

* docs(site): errors, options, glossary, versions table

Err regex catches one-line var. Rows for ErrDetached, ErrJobNotFound, ErrPauseUnsupported, ErrWorkflowSubmitted, RemoteError. WithEndedJobs and workflow rows moved into the options table. Compat table: VarMQ v1.11.0, redisq v1.6.0, sqliteq v0.4.0, contract v0.7.0, Go 1.27.

* docs(site): plain wording, Next links, drop unused start/meta.json

* docs(site): keep anchors, fuller REST caution, NumPending owner

Restore #routes, #persistent-and-distributed-queues, How redisq tracks a taken job headings. Caution: results/errors, workflow undo on cancel, auth + rate limit, Host check. 409 only while ended record kept. lifecycle states the closed-job and batch NumPending cases.

* docs(site): drop deprecated binders row, show current API only

godoc Deprecated: and CHANGELOG (#185) cover old callers.

* docs(site): review fixes on cancel, REST counts, adapters, matrix

Waiting workflow task on shared storage still runs after a job cancel. IExternalBaseQueue has no Worker. counts.completed/failed are kept records. WorkflowAcknowledgeable needs QueueInspector + non-nil store. Comparison matrix: shared storage has handles and AddAll. Wording: idioms, shared storage.

* docs(site): API coverage skips Deprecated names, document new types

coverage failed on main pin: a link named v1.10.0, and 48 names were undocumented. Skip names whose godoc says Deprecated (and the 4 handle types only they return); link the contract, workflow and option types on their owner pages.

* docs(site): address CodeRabbit review on #186

Pin redisq@v1.6.0 / sqliteq@v0.4.0 in go get (unpinned picks incompatible v1.5.1). Fresh-worker batching only above concurrency 1. WithEndedJobs needs a name and the handler. Workflow NotFound names its four calls. deriv query is a backlog trend. Cancel mark cleared by a WithJobId re-add. Early-death recovery takes the heartbeat timeout. Playground pins only an active contract require.

* docs(site): workflows on Redis

redisq v1.6.0 store via Queue.WorkflowStore(), worker binding, restart and crash behaviour, options, limits (SetExpiration, no Cluster, push access). sqliteq has none: ErrScopeMismatch. Snippet run end to end on redisq main + varmq main.
