Responsibility
Job owns the responsibility stated above; it must not absorb delivery, transaction, or unrelated cross-layer behavior.
Placement and dependencies
Keep this type in its generated Service Module path. It may depend inward on Domain capability, but it must not make another Service its behavioral dependency.
Workflow and tests
Job is an inbound adapter: establish the delivery boundary, then call one UseCase. Test its direct contract, its rejected boundary cases, and the caller or callee that proves the rule in application flow.
Three pitfalls
- ❌ Prohibited: move this responsibility into a neighboring type merely because it is nearby.
- ✅ Correct: keep the generated placement and depend only on the documented layer direction.
- ✅ Correct: test the boundary through the caller and the return or side effect visible to its callee.

Boundaries
❌ Prohibited: Do not serialize Eloquent models or place branching business logic in a Job.
✅ Correct: Carry IDs or value data and call one UseCase after authorization.
