Job State Machine

Validated state transitions for async jobs.

When to Use This Skill

• Processing async jobs (image generation, exports, etc.)
• Need progress tracking for long operations
• Want to link created assets to jobs
• Need reliable state management

Core Concepts

1. Defined states - QUEUED → PROCESSING → COMPLETED/FAILED/PARTIAL
2. Valid transitions - Only allowed state changes
3. Terminal states - Jobs must reach an end state
4. Asset linking - Track outputs created by jobs
