Project context
Fictional kiosk software schedules cache refresh and display housekeeping. Build a software clock and job adapter; do not control real machinery or purchase hardware.
Setup prerequisites
- Implement injected wall and monotonic clocks.
- Create synthetic jobs with controllable completion and failure.
Preceding work
Complete these dependencies, or supply their agreed outputs before taking this ticket.
- CTIMER-101 · Use monotonic time for edge-job timeout deadlines
- CTIMER-102 · Validate emulated edge-job intervals before scheduling
- CTIMER-103 · Specify fixed-delay behavior for periodic kiosk maintenance
- CTIMER-104 · Cancel emulated edge jobs without accepting late callbacks
- CTIMER-105 · Prevent overlapping edge jobs that share one local resource
- CTIMER-106 · Bound emulated edge-job execution attempts after failure
- CTIMER-107 · Recover due edge jobs after restart without a catch-up storm
- CTIMER-108 · Keep edge-job priority from starving lower-priority maintenance
- CTIMER-109 · Report emulated edge-job lateness separately from duration
Acceptance criteria
- Timeline identifies schedule and attempt IDs
- Skipped reasons are explicit
- Inspection causes no callbacks or writes
Implementation constraints
- Omit payloads and fixture file contents.
Verification to include
- Inspect completed sequence
- Inspect exhausted and skipped job
Deliverables
- Timeline inspector and side-effect checks
Rollout and recovery
Disable inspection fields that expose task payloads.
Value of the work
For the engineer: Practice timer semantics, cancellation and bounded scheduling.
For the team: Inspect predictable edge resource use and honest execution status.
Evidence boundaries
Outcome Evidence: Tests, patches, and runbooks are requested deliverables. They become Outcome Evidence only through a qualified Mission and immutable Evidence IDs.
Ownership Evidence: Independent adaptation must be observed under a declared verification policy and cite immutable Evidence IDs. Completing a planning ticket establishes no Ownership Evidence.
