# 0001 — Job execution with 10-second timeout and simple retry

## Context

Early version needed fast failure detection.

## Decision

Jobs timeout at 10 seconds with immediate retry.

## Consequences

Simple but inefficient: rapid retries on transient failures.

## Alternatives rejected

Exponential backoff considered but deemed unnecessary at scale.
