 Two run modes, same HTTP surface:
 
-- **In-memory (no `DATABASE_URL`)** — the API runs single-page clones **inline** and
-  holds results in memory. Handy for a quick local demo.
+- **In-memory (no `DATABASE_URL`)** — `POST` enqueues (202) and runs the clone in the
+  background within the API process, holding results in memory. Handy for a quick
+  local demo; same poll-to-completion contract as production.
 - **DB + queue (`DATABASE_URL` set)** — `POST` enqueues a job (202); a separate
   **worker** process consumes the queue, runs the clone, stores artifacts, and the
   client polls to completion. This is the production mode.
 
+In both modes the job emits structured progress events (stage transitions such as
+`capture`, `generate`, `verify`) as it runs. Poll `GET /v1/clones/:id/events?after=N`
+with the last sequence number you have seen; each event is `{seq, t, ...payload}`.
+In production mode events persist in the `job_events` table (migration
+`0002_productive_wallflower.sql`), so they survive worker restarts and remain
+readable after completion.
