+`job_output` is a query with a caller-chosen delay: it returns when the job
+ends or when `wait_ms` (0–240000 ms, default 30000) elapses, showing the newest
+output not yet seen, and names the log path and exact line numbers for anything
+it leaves out. Intermediate output does not end the wait. `Complete` appears

+coordinates or recover output their original rolling window evicted.
+While one server tracks jobs it started or queried, each successful text result
+also carries a one-line background readout of their current state and elapsed

+nothing arrives if the caller stops. Finished entries remain until that server
