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.
