# PIPE-2 — The job status summary has one shape on every path

*RT-PIPE (Part II) · level: extended · profiles: runtime · added in 1.0*

## The rule

> **Normative.** This is the rule.
>
> 1. A run's `job_status_summary` is `total` followed by one integer counter per defined job status, in a fixed order, with no status omitted.
>
> 2. The same key set and order is published when the jobs are read successfully, when the run cannot be found, and when the read fails, the latter two all-zero.
>
> 3. The job API's own `status_summary` publishes that same shape.
