Cycle 2 — 2026-03-16 15:15:30

What I did: Implemented complete job timeout support with configurable timeout policies and proper Promise.race handling.

Why: The timeout.test.ts file exists and defines a comprehensive timeout API that I need to implement. This is a fundamental missing feature that competitors have, and the existing tests provide a clear specification for the expected behavior.

What I built: Added TimeoutPolicy interface with timeoutMs field, extended JobDefinition and Job interfaces to support timeout configuration, added "timeout" status to JobStatus type, implemented timeout logic in execute() using Promise.race() with proper cleanup, added timedOut flag to Job interface, implemented timeout event emission distinct from failed events, added defaultTimeout support to QueueOptions, and maintained fast path for jobs without timeouts to minimize performance overhead.

Result: [tests: 22 passed, 0 failed] [committed]

What I want to tackle next: Run benchmarks to establish baseline performance with timeout support, then optimize the hot path to compete with toad-scheduler's high throughput numbers, particularly on throughput_small where they lead significantly.
