+## Forward direction — artdag jobs as a feed "post" (per the host loop)
+
+artdag jobs will become a **type of post**: a job rides as the `:object` of a feed
+activity (`{:actor :verb :object :at :tags}`, `:verb` "post"), served through the host
+loop's `GET/POST /feed`. The engine already has the primitives; the wrapping lives on the
+**host/feed** side, NOT in `lib/artdag`:
+- **content-id = the post/object id** (stable structural digest = natural AP object id).
+- **wire format = the post payload** — `dag->wire`/`dag->string` are self-describing +
+  content-addressed and survive `write-to-string`/`read`; `wire-verify` re-checks ids on
+  receipt (self-verifying embeddable object).
+- **federation already mirrors the feed** — `fed-export`/`fed-import` are trust-gated with
+  provenance; a re-posted job dedupes/cache-hits by global content-id.
+
+Boundary: host loop owns the activity wrapping (actor/verb/at/tags); `lib/artdag` owns the
+job⇄object projection. **BUILT — `lib/artdag/post.sx`** (post suite 12/12): a post object is
+`{:type "artdag/job" :id <output content-id> :wire <dag->wire>}` — `job->post-object`,
+`post-object->job`, `post-object-verify` (wire ids intact + the post id is produced by the
+job; rejects tampered params and bogus ids), `job->post-string`/`post-string->object` for the
+feed/SXTP body, and `post-run` (a peer decodes → runs → result at the post id, content-address
+cache-hitting what it already has). The host loop drops the object into a feed activity's
+`:object`; post-id = content-id = the AP object id.

+- **2026-06-28 Forward — job as a feed post object** (post suite 12/12, total 225/225).
+  `lib/artdag/post.sx`: the artdag-side projection for "a job is a type of post" (per the

+  output> :wire <dag->wire>}` — the post/object id IS the output node's content-id (= the

+  among them) — rejects a param tampered under a stale id and a bogus post id.
+  `job->post-string`/`post-string->object` carry it in a feed activity / SXTP body;
+  `post-object->job` decodes; `post-run post runner cache` lets a peer decode → run → read the
+  result at the post id (content-addressed, so a warm peer cache-hits what it already holds).
