## Why Data backfills need a durable contract outside schema migrations. The contract must survive crashes and support automatic or manual operation without adding version-selection machinery. ## What - Define one PostgreSQL-backed lifecycle for finite data repair - Treat the stable backfill ID as the only durable execution and readiness identity - Use eventually consistent, idempotent registration; compatible workers compete for one exclusive claim - Require bounded batches, atomic mutation and checkpoint commits, generation fencing, and validation before completion - Define all four migration and automatic-backfill configurations - Define the authorized admin API and honest client projection ## How A backfill captures one immutable upper bound, processes finite batches, and commits each target mutation with its checkpoint. PostgreSQL owns lifecycle state, claims, progress, and completion. Registration order and build metadata do not choose a definition. Compatible processes are interchangeable. A material behavior change requires a new stable ID. The orchestrator does not resolve different behavior registered under one active ID. Diagnostic validation on completed rows records only its bounded outcome and audit; it does not create an execution claim. The spec now starts with a six-step mental model and follows the operator flow. It removes repeated requirements and cuts the document from 614 lines and 4,835 words to 474 lines and 3,656 words. ## Risk Low. This PR changes documentation only. It commits Buzz to a design contract, but it does not add runtime, schema, configuration, or protocol behavior. ## Testing No manual runtime testing. A fresh full-spec review checked the lifecycle, safety rules, four configuration cells, admin contract, and production-seam conformance requirements. `git diff --check` and the repository file-size policy pass at `13681664674d4667b181a6211f012090fa40a2cf`. ## Bigger picture The design keeps the relay as orchestrator, a focused backfill crate as domain owner, and `buzz-db` as narrow transaction infrastructure. It removes deployment generations and definition precedence from the implementation plan.
