Jqueue: A job queue that runs on a single JSON file

SMRTR summary

jqueue is a Python job queue that runs on object storage (S3, GCS, local files) without requiring message brokers or databases. It uses compare-and-swap writes for exactly-once delivery and includes two implementations: DirectQueue for simple use cases and BrokerQueue with group commit for higher throughput. The system provides automatic stale job recovery and heartbeat management.
