# Start job execution

## Verification Boundary

This suite exercises background work through its declared function or structural boundary. Its implementation is present at the pinned source revision, and this register records no execution result.

## What This Suite Proves

The checks exercise start job execution within the file’s declared setup and assertion boundary. The structured assertion anchors distinguish these checks from the surrounding feature flows. No complete specification scenario is attributed to this suite yet.

## What It Does Not Prove

Local execution does not establish deployed infrastructure, live commercial-provider configuration or authorization-cache completion. Registration and an implemented suite do not establish a passing result.

## Real Dependencies and Test Doubles

The production logic under assertion is real. Execution clients or probes use the suite’s controlled response port.

## Must Not Be Doubled

The production function, registry or builder under assertion remains real.
