# Scheduler Worker PREP — SCHED-WORKER-23-101

Status: Draft (2025-11-20)
Owners: Scheduler Worker Guild · Policy Guild
Scope: Capture activation event contract and throttle source needed for worker 23-101.

## Required inputs
- Activation event schema from Policy guild: expected fields `{job_id, policy_run_id, tenant_id, priority, throttle_source}`.
- Throttle source definition (static config vs dynamic policy signals).

## Proposed contract
- Event type: `scheduler.policy.activation.requested`.
- Payload: `{job_id, policy_run_id, tenant_id, priority, requested_at_utc, throttle_source}`.
- Throttle source values: `scheduler-default`, `policy-signal`, `manual-override` (to be confirmed).

## Open decisions
- Whether to carry bundle pointers (policy/export) in the activation event.
- Retry/backoff policy if Policy service is down.

## Handoff
Use this doc as PREP artefact for SCHED-WORKER-23-101; update once Policy guild provides final schema/throttle rules.
