A PerpetualJob runs on a schedule (like PeriodicJob) but supports params (like QueuedJob) and knows how to enqueue itself. Subclasses implement `next_batch` which returns an Array of job instances, each configured with params for a single `perform` call. Every interval the framework calls `next_batch` and enqueues each returned instance. https://claude.ai/code/session_011P417H3rZzKjMoPqeTTcck
Instead of a separate PerpetualJob class hierarchy, add a next_batch hook to the Job base class. Any job can override next_batch to return an Array of QueuedJob instances; after a successful run the executor enqueues each one. This makes the perpetual pattern composable with any job type (QueuedJob, PeriodicJob, etc.). https://claude.ai/code/session_011P417H3rZzKjMoPqeTTcck
Introduces PerpetualJob (a QueuedJob subclass) with a `poll_every` macro that registers the job for periodic polling. A dedicated PerpetualJobRunner, driven by the Overseer alongside the Coordinator, periodically instantiates registered perpetual jobs and calls `next_batch` to discover and enqueue work — solving the initial enqueue problem without requiring external triggers. https://claude.ai/code/session_011P417H3rZzKjMoPqeTTcck
Instead of a dedicated PerpetualJob subclass, QueuedJob now detects at compile time (via macro finished) whether a subclass defines both next_batch and poll_every. When both are present, the job is auto-registered for periodic polling by the PerpetualJobRunner. This eliminates the separate type — any QueuedJob can opt in to polling by adding `poll_every` alongside its `next_batch` override. https://claude.ai/code/session_011P417H3rZzKjMoPqeTTcck
