no ref 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.

ref https://linear.app/ghost/issue/HKG-1980 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.
