work-queue-api

Lightweight internal work queue API for TheLab agents.

Features

• Go HTTP API with chi router
• SQLite storage, auto-migrated on startup
• Projects and work items endpoints from SPEC.md
• Dispatch history tracking
• Enforces one in_progress item per agent
• No auth, binds to port 8080 by default

Run locally

export DATABASE_URL=./work_queue.db
export PORT=8080
~/.local/go/bin/go run ./cmd/work-queue-api

Build

~/.local/go/bin/go build ./cmd/work-queue-api

Endpoints

• GET /health
• POST/GET/PATCH /projects
• POST/GET/PATCH/DELETE /work

Notes

• POST /work accepts assigned_agent, but still creates the item in queued
• PATCH /work/:id enforces status transitions from the spec
• DELETE /work/:id cancels queued or dispatched work items
