feat(api): async job queue with comprehensive test coverage (#36)

* docs(bugs): add gateway timeout audit and deployment checklist

- Document Bug 003: HF Spaces ~60s proxy timeout risk for ML inference
- Add comprehensive deployment checklist with verification status
- Include E2E flow audit diagram for debugging reference
- Verify existing bug fixes (001, 002) are correct and complete

* feat(api): async job queue to eliminate gateway timeout

Implement async job queue pattern to handle HuggingFace Spaces' ~60s
gateway timeout for long-running ML inference (30-60s typical).

## Problem
- HF Spaces proxy has hard ~60s timeout
- DeepISLES inference takes 30-60s
- Intermittent 504 Gateway Timeout errors

## Solution
POST /api/segment now returns 202 Accepted immediately with job ID.
Frontend polls GET /api/jobs/{id} every 2s for status/progress/results.
No single request exceeds the timeout - completely eliminates the issue.

### Backend Changes
- Add job_store.py: Thread-safe in-memory job storage with TTL cleanup
- Update routes.py: Async job creation + background task execution
- Update schemas.py: CreateJobResponse, JobStatusResponse types
- Update main.py: Lifespan handler for job store initialization

### Frontend Changes
- Add ProgressIndicator component with animated progress bar
- Update useSegmentation hook with polling logic
- Update api/client.ts with createSegmentJob/getJobStatus methods
- Update App.tsx to show progress and cancel button
- Update types/index.ts with JobStatus types
- Update mock handlers for testing

### Documentation
- Add docs/specs/async-job-queue.md (full spec)
- Update docs/bugs/003-gateway-timeout-long-inference.md (FIXED)
- Update docs/bugs/README.md (checklist, E2E flow v2.0)

Performance: Initial response <1s (was 30-60s), zero timeout risk

* fix(test): comprehensive test fixes for async job queue

Frontend Test Fixes:
- Remove fake timers from App.test.tsx (incompatible with MSW polling)
- Use real timers with configurable mock job duration (500ms)
- Add setMockJobDuration() to handlers.ts for test configuration
- Fix ambiguous element queries (multiple elements with same text)
- Add proper timeout for multi-run test (15s for two job cycles)
- Use behavior-based assertions instead of implementation details

Backend Tests:
- Add comprehensive unit tests for job_store.py (20 tests)
- Job dataclass tests: elapsed time, to_dict(), status handling
- JobStore tests: create, get, start, update, complete, fail
- Cleanup tests: TTL expiration, file removal
- Global store tests: init/get patterns
- Update test_endpoints.py for async API (11 tests)
- POST /api/segment returns 202 with job ID
- GET /api/jobs/{id} returns status/progress/result
- Error handling tests

All tests now pass:
- Frontend: 63 tests
- Backend: 31 tests (API only)

* fix(lint): remove unused imports and fix type annotation

- Remove unused `time` and `field` imports from job_store.py
- Import AsyncIterator from collections.abc instead of typing
- Prefix unused `app` parameter with underscore in lifespan function

* style: format schemas.py to pass CI format check

* fix(e2e): update fixtures for async job queue API pattern

The e2e fixtures were mocking the old sync API (POST /api/segment returns
result directly). Updated to match the new async job queue pattern:

- POST /api/segment returns 202 with jobId
- GET /api/jobs/:jobId returns job status with progress
- Jobs progress over ~1 second from pending → running → completed
- Fixed processingText locator to use button role (avoid strict mode violation)

* fix(security): apply CodeRabbit security and quality fixes

Security fixes (CRITICAL):
- Add path traversal protection in cleanup_old_jobs()
- Validate job_id format to allow only alphanumeric, hyphens, underscores
- Use full UUID hex instead of truncated 8-char (prevents collisions)
- Sanitize error messages - don't expose raw exceptions to clients

Code quality improvements:
- Use 'is not None' checks in Job.to_dict() instead of truthiness
- Ensure started_at is set before computing elapsed time
- Prevent job_id overwrites with KeyError on duplicate
- Don't log case_id (potentially sensitive medical data)
- Fix misleading comment about lifespan vs import order

Documentation:
- Add 'text' language specifier to code fence blocks
- Note multi-worker would require shared store (Redis/DB)
