bug-1940: job control ignores the requested signal and the force-kill flag (apiserver to controller)
Description
Observed: (source reading, .kiro/reviews/project-gap-review-2026-10-10.md (P0); to be confirmed by a failing test before the fix)
The control handler passes a JSON event string as content (controllers/jobs.go:2260-2277); signalNumber() looks it up as a signal name, fails and falls back to TERM/TSTP/CONT; backend/clib.go:697-705 always sends sig.force = 0 and ckpt.kill = 0, dropping ForceKill and the checkpoint kill/method options (:746-762).
Expected: A kill with a user-chosen signal sends that signal; force kill and checkpoint options reach the controller.
Impact: Wrong result: users cannot send a specific signal or force-kill a job.

Environment
- OS: no /etc/os-release; Docker container; NixOS kernel; kernel Linux 6.18.33 x86_64
- libc: glibc 2.42-47 (interpreter /nix/store/wb6rhpznjfczwlwx23zmdrrw74bayxw4-glibc-2.42-47/lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2)
- Toolchain: gcc (GCC) 15.2.0, meson 1.9.1
- Build: asan (xce.build)
- Code: scheduler-framework @ 94472ee3-dirty
- Deployment: any (found by source reading; the failing test that confirms it is named in Verification)
Reproduction
POST /xce/v1/jobs/<id>/controlwith action kill, signalSIGUSR1, force_kill true.- The controller receives TERM with force 0.
- Frequency: deterministic (by code reading; confirmed by the RED test of the fix)
- Evidence: the code sites quoted in Description; no logs kept.
Root cause
ControlJob (backend/clib.go) treated its content (a JSON event) as a signal name, so the lookup always missed and fell back to TERM/TSTP/CONT; it also hard-coded force = 0, ckpt.kill = 0 and never set the checkpoint method. Pre-existing.
Fix
backend/convert_pure.go: new pure jobCtrlParams() parses the JSON event or a bare signal name/number, validates it against JobSignalMapTable (error instead of fallback), maps force_kill to the signal's force (kill) or the checkpoint's kill flag, and passes the method; backend/clib.go fills the C structs from it. Worker-side substitution of the delivered signal was a separate defect, bug-1954.
Verification
- Test:
TestJobCtrlParams_*(backend/jobctrl_params_test.go): REDjobctrl_params_test.go:34: kill USR1 force_kill: got signo 15 force 0, want signo 10 force 1and the checkpoint case, GREEN after (6 tests). - Suites:
