Source notes · Two system routes

From durable jobs to delivered media

An AI video is not one model call. It is a production that waits, fails, revises, spends money, and eventually gets inspected. Temporal explains how a job survives processes; OpenMontage explains how an agent advances creative work through stages, artifacts, and human approval.

Key distinction: durable execution answers whether the work still exists. Creative orchestration answers what to do next after execution resumes. The ideas are adjacent, but their checkpoints are not interchangeable.

Two recovery mechanisms compared: Temporal replays event history; OpenMontage reads project artifacts. No built-in integration is implied.

Separate two kinds of recovery, then enter the source

Part 0 establishes shared questions. Parts 1 and 2 then examine durable execution and coding-agent video orchestration.

Two recovery mechanisms compared: Temporal replays event history; OpenMontage reads project artifacts. No built-in integration is implied.Part 0 · IntroductionHow the two kinds of recovery differ

Separate job identity and event history from agent stages, artifacts, human approval, and final acceptance.
