Jobs

Dispatch a job

Creates a job and starts an agent working on it immediately. Returns as soon as the work is queued — the returned job reads `backlog` with a placeholder title, both of which change within moments. Watch it finish on `GET /v1/events` (`job.state_changed`), or poll `GET /v1/jobs/{job_id}`. Terminal states are `done`, `failed`, and `ambiguous` — the last meaning the agent needs something from you, which you answer by posting to the job's `primary_session_id`.
