#Overview

Default JobDispatcher for environments without AlephaApiJobsQueue.

Runs JobProvider.processExecution in the background — the caller's push() returns immediately while the handler continues to completion in the same process. The DB outbox row is the durability guarantee: if the process dies before the handler finishes, the next sweep tick picks the row up and re-dispatches.

Cloudflare Workers — when an executionCtx.waitUntil is available in the alepha store at cloudflare.waitUntil, the dispatch wraps the background promise with waitUntil so the runtime keeps the isolate alive past the HTTP response. Without this, the handler would be terminated when the response is returned and only the next sweep (every 5 min by default) would re-dispatch.

Vercel / single-Node — on long-running runtimes the event loop keeps the promise alive naturally; no special wiring is required.
