Enhance the reliability and observability of the task execution engine by introducing retry mechanisms, idempotency, and structured progress tracking. - Implement centralized retry logic with exponential backoff support in `JobLifecycle`. - Add `retry_task` API endpoint and `TaskManager` method for manual task restarts. - Introduce task idempotency using `_idempotency_key` to prevent duplicate executions. - Add `retry_count`, `max_retries`, `last_error`, and `progress` fields to the `Task` model and ensure persistence via `TaskPersistenceService`. - Upgrade `SchedulerService` to use differential synchronization with the persistent `SQLAlchemyJobStore` for better job durability. - Implement structured heartbeat logging to support real-time progress updates. - Update project documentation and ADRs to reflect the new plugin runtime and task resilience patterns. - Add comprehensive unit and integration tests for the new task lifecycle features.

@STATUS ACCEPTED
@PURPOSE Establish the version-controlled semantic skills and source contracts as the governance mechanism for source code and agent workflows in this repository.
@RELATION DEPENDS_ON -> [ADR-0001:ADR]
@RATIONALE A multi‑platform repository (Python/FastAPI + SvelteKit) served by multiple AI agents (backend‑coder, frontend‑coder, qa‑tester, semantic‑curator, …) requires a single, machine‑parseable contract language that works identically across both platforms. Without it, agents produce inconsistent annotations, the semantic index (semantic_map.json) degrades, and long‑horizon agent sessions (50+ commits) accumulate invisible architectural drift.
@RATIONALE GRACE was chosen over lightweight alternatives because this project has specific stressors that only a full protocol addresses: (a) two platforms with different comment syntax — GRACE provides platform‑specific anchor forms under one unified graph, (b) long‑horizon agent sessions — GRACE Decision Memory (@RATIONALE/@REJECTED) prevents agents from re‑exploring already‑rejected paths, (c) complex orchestration flows (plugin execution, backup pipelines) — GRACE belief‑state markers make side‑effect‑heavy code auditable and debuggable, (d) enterprise deployment requirements — fractal limits (module <400 lines, [DEF] <150 lines) enforce structural hygiene critical for audit‑ready code.
@RATIONALE Skills are the canonical source rather than this ADR because protocol details (complexity scale, tag inventory, syntax variants) evolve. Duplicating them here creates a fork that will inevitably desynchronise. Skills are version-controlled in this repository and must be loaded from their current locations.
@REJECTED Plain docstring conventions (Google/NumPy style) — rejected because free‑text docstrings are invisible to the semantic index and cannot express relations, pre/post conditions, or rejected paths in a machine‑queryable form.
@REJECTED Decorator‑based contracts (@contract, @pre, @post) — rejected because they are Python‑only, cannot annotate Svelte components or TypeScript, and break the unified semantic graph spanning both platforms.
@REJECTED JSDoc/TSDoc for the frontend — rejected because it would create a second annotation language, fragmenting the semantic graph into two incompatible halves and forcing agents to master two different contract systems.
@REJECTED Embedding protocol rules directly in ADRs (the previous version of this document) — rejected because it duplicates the skill content and inevitably diverges. Agents receiving both the skill and the ADR would face conflicting versions; the skill is the single source of truth.
Decision
This repository adopts the semantic protocol implemented by version-controlled
skills in .agents/skills/ (mirrored for compatible OpenCode workflows under
.opencode/skills/):
| Skill | File | Role in this project |
|---|---|---|
semantics-core |
.agents/skills/semantics-core/SKILL.md |
Anchor syntax, complexity scale, global invariants, tag inventory |
semantics-contracts |
.agents/skills/semantics-contracts/SKILL.md |
Design by Contract, Decision Memory, anti-erosion rules |
semantics-python |
.agents/skills/semantics-python/SKILL.md |
Python/FastAPI conventions and belief-runtime patterns |
semantics-svelte |
.agents/skills/semantics-svelte/SKILL.md |
Svelte 5 UX state and component conventions |
semantics-testing |
.agents/skills/semantics-testing/SKILL.md |
Test constraints and invariant traceability |
Key principle: Skills are the protocol. This ADR is the adoption record. When an agent needs to know what tags are required at C4, it reads semantics-core. When it needs to know why this project chose C4 annotations at all, it reads this ADR.
Enforcement
Agent commands and reviews load the relevant skills before changing a contracted module.
Feature specs reference this ADR and the relevant skill when they introduce C4/C5
contracts. Code review preserves declared @RATIONALE and @REJECTED decisions
unless a successor ADR explicitly changes them. This ADR deliberately does not
claim a verifier that is absent from the repository.
