Track a collection of tasks without pretending GoCux implements an external task-group API.
Practical procedure
- Choose a project and define one distinct goal per work order. Maintain an application-side collection of the returned task identities when a batch needs a combined view.
- Use Mission Control family information when the actual workflow delegates related tasks. Preserve each child’s state rather than inferring all succeeded from the parent’s activity.
- Assemble results only after checking the expected members and their acceptance criteria. Report incomplete, cancelled and refused tasks individually.
Use a governed work order
A GoCux work order records an outcome, context and acceptance criteria. Use it for durable work that needs the optional Cloud Worker, rather than assuming that every chat turn starts a background job. Select the project and data classification when creating the request. Keep the returned work-order identity so progress, decisions and attachments remain tied to the same operation.
Contract example
Developer examples below describe routes on an authorized, configured GoCux control-plane base URL. They are request shapes or operation references, not claims that a particular public hostname exposes the API. Use the workspace for the corresponding human workflow; availability and permissions depend on the actual deployment.
POST /work-orders — example request body; supply an operation-specific Idempotency-Key
{
"goal": "Review the supplied project notes",
"body": "Use only the provided project context.",
"acceptance": [
"Identify claims with their supporting source",
"List unanswered questions separately"
],
"dataClassification": "public",
"projectId": "project-id",
"max_wall_seconds": 300,
"max_tool_calls": 20
}Inspect the result
A recorded or accepted work order is not proof of completed execution. Read its state, progress and attachments through the task views. Review the output against the acceptance criteria before using it. If a structured result was requested, inspect its validation state separately from the narrative answer.
What to keep explicit
A group label is not a transactional batch guarantee. Retrying or cancelling a collection requires deliberate handling of each operation and its existing state.
Handle incomplete and refused work
A missing worker or an unavailable dispatch ledger can refuse durable execution while normal chat remains independent. Reuse an operation key only for the same request. After a lost response, reconcile the original operation rather than blindly dispatching new work. A configured maxCost is recorded as context; the work-order schema does not claim it is an enforced monetary ceiling.
