Background jobs

Hosted services currently cover rules/ghosting, follow-up reminders, saved-search alerts, daily exports, job enrichment, AI operations, CV processing, and database backups. The exact enablement switches and defaults are in JobTrackerApi/appsettings.json and environment variables.

The deployment is intentionally single-backend-instance. CV and AI work persist enough state to recover queued/running work after restart, but there is no database lease for multiple API replicas. Add leasing before scaling horizontally. Worker failures must not make manual tracking unusable; readiness and logs are the operational signals.
