POST /api/v1/jobs

Operation: createJob.

Reserve job from quote (quote owner)

Atomically holds budget, reserves machine, increments fence and queues start. Rejects expired quote (409 QUOTE_EXPIRED), changed manifest, unavailable or not admitted machine, or insufficient spendable funds (409 INSUFFICIENT_FUNDS) without partial holds. Replaying the same Idempotency-Key with the same body returns the original job, so a timed-out request is safe to retry; the same key with another body is 409 IDEMPOTENCY_CONFLICT and reserves nothing.
