Add 'job' as a root-level node kind capturing the progress a customer is
trying to make in a specific circumstance. Jobs sit beside ICPs as durable
customer context outside the trace chain: outcomes and opportunities
reference jobs many-to-many with inheritance down the trace (mirroring ICP
references), and jobs reference the ICPs who have them. Referenced jobs are
protected from deletion, and context assembly surfaces related jobs and
their content to agents.

Validation gains severities: structural violations stay errors, while new
advisory warnings flag top-level opportunities not connected to a job and
jobs without an ICP. 'oe validate' prints warnings without failing.

The canvas renders a jobs band beside ICPs with job reference edges, a
'+ Job' header action, job chips in the detail panel, and job pickers on
outcome and opportunity editors.

Skills: new jobs best-practices reference (circumstance, functional/
emotional/social progress, forces of progress, competing alternatives) plus
job guidance in oe-cli, oe-grill, oe-graph-audit, oe-validate, and the
related reference files.
