# XCE Controller

## Overview
C daemon managing cluster-level job and queue operations. Acts as the central coordinator between the scheduler, worker nodes, and the Go API server.

## Build
```bash
# From workspace root
nix develop
meson build && ninja -C build
```

## Architecture
Core source files handle distinct domains:
- `job.c` — Job lifecycle management
- `queue.c` — Queue state and control
- `cluster.c` — Cluster topology
- `dataex.c` — Data exchange with other daemons

Links against `libxce` from `src/lib/`.

## Conventions
- C standard: gnu17
- Format with `clang-format`
- Component-specific headers in `include/`
- Shared types defined in `src/include/xce/` (libxce)
