Background work now outlives the Pod that started it. A task you
handed off — research this, watch that page, draft the report — was a
goroutine in memory, and a restart, a crash or an update killed it
silently with nothing in the conversation to say it had. Ghost writes
the task down before it runs and, on boot, picks up anything a restart
left mid-flight and carries on — with each attempt allowed hours rather
than the old five minutes. What an earlier attempt confirmed is handed
to the next one, so a resumed task does not quietly repeat work you
already saw happen.
A task that fails for a moment gets another go. A provider
blinking, a page timing out, a command that was not ready used to end
the task the first time. It now waits and tries again — a few seconds,
then longer, up to a ceiling — and only reports a failure once it has
genuinely run out of attempts. A task stopped by a restart is not
counted as one of its failures: our stop is not its mistake.
A task that needs your approval waits instead of giving up. When
background work reached something consequential — sending a message,
scheduling, deleting — it was told "ask first" and pushed on anyway,
either grinding against the same wall or wandering into something you
had not agreed to. It now stops at that step, parks as waiting for
your approval, and resumes from where it stopped the moment you
answer. Waiting on you never spends the task's attempts, however long
you take to reply.
