test_dispatch_commit.c's test_dc_success_appends_wal_job_dispatch_durably
(already drove the real dispatch_a_job_() production path through a
real WAL-write + persist_recover() restart cycle, previously only
checking recovered state) now also asserts the recovered job.allocs
matches what was dispatched -- host, resource name, value. This is
the primary regression test for the user's exact acceptance
criterion: "after recover the job should get the same as it's state
before shutdown."
Independently reproduced RED->GREEN (not just narrated): reverted the
production fix with the test extension kept, rebuilt, confirmed FAIL
at exactly this assertion; restored, rebuilt, confirmed PASS.
test_wal_job_dispatch_fact.c: added 3 new tests exercising the richer
payload directly on both apply_committed_entry and apply_wal_entry,
plus a full restart-replay variant. All 3 pre-existing tests (bare
wal_jobstate_t payloads, no trailing bytes) pass completely unchanged,
proving backward compatibility with any WAL_JOB_DISPATCH entry written
before this fix.
Full controller_unit_test suite independently re-run: 1136/1136 pass,
zero regressions.

The four retryable-classified failure sites in dispatch_a_job_() (worker
lookup, worker null, worker not ready, RPC failure) now resolve instead
of just returning an error code: lock(j, RTTI_LOCK_WRITE) -> genuinely
classify via xce_classify_dispatch_fail() -> increment dispatch_fail_count
-> within XCE_DISPATCH_FAIL_RETRY_BOUND (3) resolves retryable (nothing
further under the lock), past it resolves terminal via mark_job_fail()
exactly like task 3.2's sites -> unlock(j) -> dereference(j) (closing
bug-1627's 4-site reference leak) -> outside the lock, notify_dispatch()
fires only on the retryable outcome. Each site's natural error code is
captured into a stable local before any intervening call, since errno
isn't guaranteed stable once lock()/ERROR()/free_launchinfo() sit between
the original failure and the eventual return.
handle_jobdispatch() is intentionally untouched -- it still unconditionally
calls notify_dispatch() itself for every outcome, so the retryable path
now temporarily double-notifies until task 4.1 removes that caller-side
call. Expected, not a defect.
New test_dispatch_fail_retry.c (4 tests, including a bounded-escalation
test driving 4 consecutive RPC failures on the same job: 3rd retries,
4th resolves EXIT) plus a fixed stale assertion in test_dispatch_commit.c
and additive, read-only notify-capture accessors in
test_commit_barrier_reply.c (the binary's sole notify() stub host).
Independently reviewed and approved, including explicit scrutiny of the
cross-file test accessor addition and the stale-assertion fix -- both
confirmed legitimate, not scope creep or regression-hiding.

dispatch_a_job_()'s previously-unconditional job.allocs commit is now
gated on xce_startjob_req() actually succeeding (rc >= 0). In that same
successful branch, under a newly-acquired lock(j, RTTI_LOCK_WRITE) (a
real pre-existing locking gap this call site had -- it took no lock on
the job object itself before this), the job transitions to JOB_STAT_RUN,
dispatch_fail_count resets to 0, and a WAL_JOB_DISPATCH fact is appended
for durability. The failure path is otherwise unchanged -- classification
and resolution of the six failure sites is tasks 3.2/3.3's job, not this
one's.
Adds an XCE_TESTING-only dispatch_a_job_test() wrapper (dispatch_a_job_()
is static) and test_dispatch_commit.c, proving: state->RUN, allocs
committed correctly, counter resets, and durability survives a real
persist_recover() replay with no WAL_JOB_START present.
Independently reviewed and approved. Two pre-existing, out-of-boundary
findings surfaced and logged for later tasks: test_commit_barrier_reply.c's
test_jobdispatch_receipt_ack_no_wal_append will need updating by task 5.4
(Req 5.3 anticipates this), and bug-1429's hang was reconfirmed a 3rd time
(unrelated to this change).
