+"""Lightweight in-process tracking for long-running admin operations.

+Jobs live in a module-level dict, so this only works correctly for a single
+OS process (the app's current deployment: one uvicorn worker, no multi-process
+or multi-replica setup — see ``entrypoint.sh`` / ``docker-compose.yml``). If
+the app is ever scaled to multiple workers/replicas, this needs to move to
+shared storage (a DB table, Redis) so a poll request landing on a different
