The pending_reason field was declared on models.JobInfo but never populated:
scheduler computed PEND reasons and the controller stored them on
job->pend_reasons, yet the data stopped there. Two gaps closed:
1. controller/apiserver.c: apiserver_job_hook_fun now handles
HOOK_DETAIL_SETPREASON by pushing the updated job to API servers (reusing
apiserver_job_update_fun). Without this, a job whose PEND reasons change
never reached the API server — only JOB_NEW/UPDATE/START/EXIT events did,
and setpreason fired none of those.
2. backend/convert.go + convert_pure.go: cJobToModel / rawJobToModel now
extract xce_job_t.pend_reasons (main_reason + host/res reasons) and
marshal them into models.JobInfo.PendingReason as JSONB. models/jobs.go:
pending_reason added to JOB_DEFAULT_COLUMN so default job queries return
it (it was only in JSONBJFields, never selected).
Verified live on t1/t2/t3: a job with resreq "type == nosuchhost" stays
PEND and returns
"pending_reason":{"main_reason":0,"host_reasons":[{"host":"t1","reason":3},
{"host":"t2","reason":3},{"host":"t3","reason":3}]}
(main_reason=3 PREASON_MATCH_FAIL per host) via both /jobs list, /jobs/:id
and the SSE stream. 4 new unit tests (rawJobToModel pendReason marshal +
name mapping), all apiserver backend tests pass.
