## Goal
Activate a paused job after preview and voice validation. This is the **explicit trust moment** where the user says "yes, start posting."

## Which Agents Use This
- **custom** (system/onboarding flows) — Used during agent hiring workflow after user reviews preview draft

## Hard Rules
1. MUST require explicit confirmation flags (confirm_preview_reviewed, confirm_schedule_understood)
2. MUST validate voice_profile_id exists (for content jobs)
3. MUST validate account_ids exist and have valid tokens
4. MUST show clear schedule summary before activation
5. MUST NOT activate without preview draft reviewed

## Steps

### 1. Validate prerequisites
- Check confirm_preview_reviewed == true
- Check confirm_schedule_understood == true
- `bolta.get_job(job_id)` → verify job exists and is in `paused` status

### 2. Validate dependencies (for content jobs)
- If job type is content creation:
  - Verify voice_profile_id exists: `bolta.get_voice_profile(voice_profile_id)`
  - Verify all account_ids exist and have valid tokens: `bolta.get_account_info(account_id)`
- If override_checks == true AND user is Admin: skip validation

### 3. Activate job
- `bolta.update_job(job_id, {status: "active"})`
- Calculate next_run based on schedule (cron expression or interval)
- Register job with Celery Beat scheduler

### 4. Return confirmation
- Return job_id, status ("active"), next_run timestamp

## Output
```json
{
  "job_id": "uuid",
  "status": "active",
  "next_run": "2026-02-21T09:00:00Z"
}
```

## Failure Handling
- If confirmation flags missing/false: fail with clear message
- If voice_profile_id invalid: fail with "Voice profile not found" (unless override_checks)
- If account token expired: fail with "Account disconnected, reconnect required" (unless override_checks)
- If job already active: return success (idempotent)

## Example Usage

### Scenario: Activate after preview approval
```json
{
  "job_id": "uuid",
  "confirm_preview_reviewed": true,
  "confirm_schedule_understood": true
}
```
**Result:** Job status → active, first run scheduled
