# Job reconciliation

## Verification Boundary

This suite exercises background work through production operations against the local database. Its implementation is present at the pinned source revision, and this register records no execution result.

## What This Suite Proves

The checks exercise job reconciliation within the file’s declared setup and assertion boundary. The structured assertion anchors distinguish these checks from the surrounding feature flows. The scenario bindings name the attributed outcomes.

## 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 prepared PostgreSQL database and production operations under test are real. Execution startup or probing uses a test channel where the suite declares one. The suite controls time where boundary checks require it.

## Must Not Be Doubled

The persistence operations, database constraints and reads under assertion remain real.
