           3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
              this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
              worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
              (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
              use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
              where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
              by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
              Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
              with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
              institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
              cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
              or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
              or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
              granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
              as of the date such litigation is filed.
        
           4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
              Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
              modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
              meet the following conditions:
        
              (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
                  Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
        
              (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
                  stating that You changed the files; and
        
              (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
                  that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
                  attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
                  excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
                  the Derivative Works; and
        
              (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
                  distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
                  include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
                  within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
                  pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
                  of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
                  as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
                  documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
                  within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
                  wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
                  of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
                  do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
                  notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
                  or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
                  that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
                  as modifying the License.
        
              You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
              may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
              for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
              for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
              reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
              the conditions stated in this License.
        
           5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
              any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
              by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
              this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
              Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
              the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
              with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
        
           6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
              names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
              except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
              origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
        
           7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
              agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
              Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
              WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
              implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
              of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
              PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
              appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
              risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
        
           8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
              whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
              unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
              negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
              liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
              incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
              result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
              Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
              work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
              other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
              has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
        
           9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
              the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
              and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
              or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
              License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
              on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
              of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
              defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
              incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
              of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
        
           END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

## Requirements

- Python 3.8 or higher
- SQLite (included with Python) or Redis 4.0+ for production workloads

---

## Installation

### From PyPI (Recommended)

```bash
pip install task-mq

# With Redis support
pip install task-mq[redis]

# With development tools
pip install task-mq[dev]
```

### From Source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/gvarun01/task-mq.git
cd task-mq
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"
```

---

## Quick Start

### 1. Start a Worker

```bash
taskmq run-worker --max-workers 2
```

### 2. Add a Job

```bash
taskmq add-job --payload '{"task": "hello"}' --handler dummy
```

### 3. Check Job Status

```bash
taskmq get-job 1
```

### 4. Start the REST API

```bash
taskmq serve-api
```

Visit http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs for interactive API documentation.

---

## Python Library Usage

TaskMQ can be used directly in Python applications:

```python
from taskmq.jobs.handlers import register_handler
from taskmq.worker import Worker
from taskmq.storage.sqlite_backend import SQLiteBackend

# Define a custom handler
@register_handler("email")
def send_email(job):
    """Process an email sending job."""
    payload = job.payload
    print(f"Sending email to {payload.get('to')}")
    return {"status": "sent", "to": payload.get("to")}

# Create backend and insert a job
backend = SQLiteBackend()
job_id = backend.insert_job(
    payload='{"to": "user@example.com", "subject": "Hello"}',
    handler="email"
)
print(f"Created job: {job_id}")

# Start the worker (blocks until stopped)
worker = Worker(max_workers=2, backend=backend)
worker.start()
```

**Important:** Handlers must be imported/registered before starting workers.

---

## CLI Reference

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `taskmq run-worker` | Start the worker pool to process jobs |
| `taskmq serve-api` | Start the REST API server |
| `taskmq add-job` | Add a new job to the queue |
| `taskmq get-job <id>` | Get job details and result |
| `taskmq inspect <id>` | View job execution timeline |
| `taskmq logs --job <id>` | Search structured job logs |
| `taskmq list-dead` | List jobs in the Dead Letter Queue |
| `taskmq replay <id>` | Replay any job |
| `taskmq replay-dead <id>` | Replay a job from the DLQ |

### Backend Selection

```bash
# Use SQLite (default)
taskmq run-worker

# Use Redis
taskmq --backend redis --redis-url redis://localhost:6379/0 run-worker
```

---

## Advanced Features

### Retry Policies

Configure how failed jobs are retried:

```python
# Fixed interval retries (default: 60 seconds between attempts)
backend.insert_job(payload, handler="mytask", retry_policy="fixed")

# Exponential backoff (doubles each retry)
backend.insert_job(payload, handler="mytask", retry_policy="exponential")

# No retries (move to DLQ on first failure)
backend.insert_job(payload, handler="mytask", retry_policy="none")
```

### Job Priority

Higher priority jobs are processed first:

```python
# Priority levels: 0 (Low), 10 (Normal), 20 (High)
backend.insert_job(payload, handler="urgent", priority=20)
```

### Scheduled Jobs

Execute jobs at a specific time:

```python
from datetime import datetime, timedelta, UTC

# Run 1 hour from now
future = datetime.now(UTC) + timedelta(hours=1)
backend.insert_job(payload, handler="mytask", scheduled_for=future)
```

### Periodic Jobs

Create recurring jobs:

```python
# Run every 300 seconds (5 minutes)
backend.insert_job(payload, handler="cleanup", interval_seconds=300)
```

### Async Handlers

TaskMQ supports async handlers natively:

```python
import asyncio
from taskmq.jobs.handlers import register_handler

@register_handler("async_task")
async def async_handler(job):
    await asyncio.sleep(1)
    return {"status": "completed"}
```

### Dead Letter Queue

Jobs that exhaust retries are moved to the DLQ for inspection:

```bash
# List failed jobs
taskmq list-dead

# Replay a failed job (resets retry count)
taskmq replay-dead 123
```

### Handler Versioning

Ensure replay uses the exact same handler code:

```bash
# Fails if handler code has changed since original execution
taskmq replay 123 --exact
```

### Graceful Shutdown

Workers handle SIGINT/SIGTERM gracefully, completing in-flight jobs before exiting:

```
^C
Received signal 2. Initiating graceful shutdown...
Waiting for 2 active jobs to complete...
```

### Job Inspection

View the complete execution timeline:

```bash
taskmq inspect 123
```

Output:
```
Job ID: 123
Status: SUCCESS
Handler: email
Payload: {'to': 'user@example.com'}
----------------------------------------
Execution Timeline:
[2026-03-15T10:00:00+00:00] Queued
[2026-03-15T10:00:01+00:00] Job started
[2026-03-15T10:00:02+00:00] Job finished successfully
```

---

## API Usage

### Authentication

All API endpoints require JWT authentication:

```python
import httpx

headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer <your_jwt_token>"}
```

### Add a Job

```python
response = httpx.post(
    "http://127.0.0.1:8000/add-job",
    json={"payload": {"task": "process"}, "handler": "mytask"},
    headers=headers
)
print(response.json())
# {"status": "ok", "job_id": 1}
```

### API Endpoints

| Endpoint | Method | Auth | Description |
|----------|--------|------|-------------|
| `/health` | GET | None | Health check |
| `/add-job` | POST | admin | Add a new job |
| `/cancel` | POST | admin | Cancel a job |
| `/retry` | POST | admin/worker | Retry a failed job |
| `/monitor/metrics` | GET | None | Prometheus metrics |
