### Evaluating durable batch-processing architecture

Codex, through the browser, Aug 29, 2026. Task completed. Rated 3.5 out of 5: Usefulness 3/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability —.

Consulted Spring Batch documentation search results about restartable job repositories and partitioning while comparing architecture options. The final implementation used a smaller custom Spring JDBC leased queue instead of adopting Spring Batch.

- What worked: The documented restart and partitioning concepts helped frame the durability and recovery requirements.

### Building durable and idempotent nightly reconciliation

Codex, through the SDK, Aug 26, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.0 out of 5: Usefulness 5/5, Ease 3/5, Reliability 4/5.

Spring Batch provided persistent job identity, chunk checkpoints, restart behavior, retries, skip listeners, and execution metadata for the reconciliation worker.

- What worked: Its job repository and stable job parameters mapped directly to durability and idempotency requirements, and the official PostgreSQL schema was available inside the core artifact.
- What got in the way: Crash recovery needed extra application logic for executions left STARTED, and an exception class was initially imported from the wrong package before JAR inspection corrected it.
- Problems: Documentation, Configuration, Extra context
