The batch sending service only tracked sendEmail in its in-flight set, so onShutdown resolved once the last batch settled, before emailJob wrote the email's terminal status. That write only survives shutdown today because the job runner happens to wait for the whole job; the email path should not depend on the runner's drain policy for its own bookkeeping.

Tracking emailJob instead covers the status lock, the batch work and the terminal status write with a single tracker at the job boundary. It cannot hang shutdown: every phase past the send already runs under the collapsed shutdown retry budgets, and the failed write is skipped while shutting down.

Walkthrough

The email job now tracks its full promise in #inFlight, including terminal status writes. Processing moves into #emailJobInner, and separate sendEmail tracking is removed. Shutdown tests now use the public emailJob flow and verify that onShutdown waits for the final submitted save before resolving.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 377af

Shutdown remains process-level safe, but the email cleanup hook can report completion too early for a late-starting queued job. This bounded race should be fixed or explicitly accepted.

209-209: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject jobs admitted after the email drain starts.

GhostServer._cleanup() starts the email cleanup and legacy job-service cleanup concurrently. The legacy @tryghost/job-manager@1.0.9 keeps its inline queue active while draining it, so a queued emailJob() can start after onShutdown() snapshots #inFlight. emailJob() has no #shuttingDown guard, and onShutdown() can report completion before that job settles. The process-level cleanup still waits for the legacy queue independently, but the email cleanup hook does not.

Return before starting #emailJobInner() when shutdown is in progress. Add a regression test for a queued job admitted after the #inFlight snapshot.

Proposed fix
 async emailJob(data) {
+  if (this.#shuttingDown) {
+    logging.info('[Background Job] batch-sending-service-job skipped because shutdown is in progress');
+    return;
+  }
   // Tracked at the job boundary so onShutdown waits for the terminal status write,

This is the transport swap: scheduleEmail dispatches a SendEmailJob
instead of pushing a closure onto the legacy inline queue, and boot
hands the email service the same jobs instance the handler registry
uses, so exactly one queue is in play.

Batching and the status locks behave as before. The jobs backend
stops waiting for in-flight jobs at server:shutdownTimeout, but the
batch sender's separate cleanup task still waits for in-flight batch
work. That timeout is not an overall process shutdown deadline.
Tracking the final email status write in the batch sender's cleanup
is handled separately in #30811.
