# bug-1936: apiserver drops cwd, env, run/resource limits, file transfers and I/O paths of REST job submissions
## Description
**Observed:** (source reading, `.kiro/reviews/project-gap-review-2026-10-10.md` (P0); to be confirmed by a failing test before the fix)
`modelJobToSubmit()` (`src/frontend/apiserver/backend/convert.go:323-375`) builds the controller's `job_startinfo_t` with only cmdline, execuser, launch_type and pre/post-exec; it never sets `exdata`, `exechome` or `execcwd`:
```go
si := (*C.job_startinfo_t)(C.calloc(1, C.sizeof_job_startinfo_t))
si.cmdline = C.CString(job.Command)
... // no si.exdata / si.exechome / si.execcwd
```
So `--cwd`, `--env`, `--file` transfers, interactive mode, every `*_limit` flag (incl. `-W` run limit), `-i/-o/-e`, asked hosts and begin/end time are kept only in the apiserver's memory and never reach the controller or the worker.
**Expected:** Every submit option the apiserver accepts reaches the worker in the job's start info (exdata, exec home, cwd), or is rejected as unsupported.
**Impact:** Silent wrong result: jobs run without the limits, environment, working directory and I/O paths the user asked for (e.g. a `-W` run limit is never enforced).
**Found by:** review: `.kiro/reviews/project-gap-review-2026-10-10.md` (P0)
## 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
1. Submit through REST/xcecli with `xcecli jobs submit -W 1 --cwd /tmp --env A=1 sleep 120` on any deployment.
2. Inspect the job's start info at the worker (worker log of the launched unit) or the controller's `job.start_info`: no exdata, no cwd; the job runs past one minute.
- Frequency: deterministic (by code reading; confirmed by the RED test of the fix)
- Evidence: the code sites quoted in Description; no logs kept.
