+// Package archive implements the job archive interface and various backend implementations.
+//
+// The archive package provides a pluggable storage backend system for job metadata and performance data.
+// It supports three backend types:
+//
+//   - file: Filesystem-based storage with hierarchical directory structure
+//   - s3: AWS S3 and S3-compatible object storage (MinIO, localstack)
+//   - sqlite: Single-file SQLite database with BLOB storage
+//
+// # Backend Selection
+//
+// Choose a backend based on your deployment requirements:
+//
+//   - File: Best for single-server deployments with local fast storage
+//   - S3: Best for distributed deployments requiring redundancy and multi-instance access
+//   - SQLite: Best for portable archives with SQL query capability and transactional integrity
+//
+// # Configuration
+//
+// The archive backend is configured via JSON in the application config file:
+//
+//	{
+//	  "archive": {
+//	    "kind": "file",           // or "s3" or "sqlite"
+//	    "path": "/var/lib/archive" // for file backend
+//	  }
+//	}
+//
+// For S3 backend:
+//
+//	{
+//	  "archive": {
+//	    "kind": "s3",
+//	    "bucket": "my-job-archive",
+//	    "region": "us-east-1",
+//	    "accessKey": "...",
+//	    "secretKey": "..."
+//	  }
+//	}
+//
+// For SQLite backend:
+//
+//	{
+//	  "archive": {
+//	    "kind": "sqlite",
+//	    "dbPath": "/var/lib/archive.db"
+//	  }
+//	}
+//
+// # Usage
+//
+// The package is initialized once at application startup:
+//
+//	err := archive.Init(rawConfig, false)
+//	if err != nil {
+//	    log.Fatal(err)
+//	}
+//
+// After initialization, use the global functions to interact with the archive:
+//
+//	// Check if a job exists
+//	exists := archive.GetHandle().Exists(job)
+//
+//	// Load job metadata
+//	jobMeta, err := archive.GetHandle().LoadJobMeta(job)
+//
+//	// Store job metadata
+//	err = archive.GetHandle().StoreJobMeta(job)
+//
+// # Thread Safety
+//
+// All backend implementations are safe for concurrent use. The package uses
+// internal locking for operations that modify shared state.
