Job Management Refactoring - Complete

Summary

• Actions change based on mode:
  • View: Run, Edit, Delete buttons
  • Edit: Cancel, Save/Create buttons
• No emojis - clean text labels only

4. Removed Emojis ✅

• Kept: Output & Status display only
• Auto-displays: Job output when available (no button needed)
• Status messages: Text-only, centered, no icons

- job_private_key: String
- creating_job: bool

// Kept unified editing state:

+ CancelEditJob
+ UpdateEditJobPayload
+ UpdateEditJobRunner
+ UpdateEditJobTimeout
+ SaveJobEdit (handles both create and update)
