LIFECYCLE

How a workload moves from acceptance to a terminal outcome.

The execution lifecycle exposes the state of work as it is queued, routed, assigned, processed, completed, failed, or retried.

STATE MODEL

The canonical successful path.

01queued
02routing
03assigned
04running
05completed

Queued means the workload has entered execution state. Routing means the network is evaluating eligible capacity. Assigned means a destination has been selected. Running means processing is active. Completed means execution has reached a successful terminal state and the result can be exposed.

FAILURE & RETRY

Failures remain visible instead of being collapsed into generic errors.

01running
02failed
03retrying
04routing
05assigned
06running

Where retry behavior is available, retrying represents a deliberate new attempt within the execution lifecycle. It should not erase the history of the earlier failure.

OPERATIONS

Interpret status together with execution context.

Job

Identifies the workload.

Workflow Run

Explains orchestration around the workload.

Assignment

Shows selected execution capacity when routing has completed.

Timing

Shows where execution time was spent.

Logs & telemetry

Provide operational evidence around running or failed work.

Result or failure

Represents the terminal outcome.
