A job announces without keeping state, a parked job reads as parked, and a manifest can be checked before it merges.

A job can announce something once, with no state to keep. report.history: true beside report.probe: true gives it channel_history on its report channel, so the messages already posted are the record — a run that died halfway re-posts only what it missed.
A parked job reads as parked. Every terminal run record classifies its admission — armed, parked, or a human's run of a parked job — so a job somebody stopped stops looking like one whose switch was never written.
The reply is the answer, not the narration. Chat replies keep the final answer instead of replaying narration that later tool calls superseded; ids, timings and gate details stay in the operator record.
A manifest can be checked before it merges. sageox-agent validate <path…> exits non-zero naming the field and the expectation, with no agent home, no credentials and no network — runnable straight from the image.

Helm chart 0.13.0 refuses a worker Secret an agent already mounts, and an external worker on a cluster below Kubernetes 1.34. Park armed external jobs across the upgrade — the gateway and dispatcher roll independently, and there is a window where dispatch fails. Full notes are on the v0.5.0 release.

Say it once, and know why it didn't run
