Depends on: #6

S8 may reshape or drop this milestone.

From PLAN.md, section "M10".

Structured views of work that has no human typing into it. These are
Superlogical's "automatic work disappears into jobs and logs".

Job block.
- Config: { host, cmd, cwd, env, retries, timeout }, or an adapter
  reference, { hal0: job_id } or { ci: url }.
- It runs without a PTY: stdout and stderr go into the block log,
  separately.
- State: queued, running, succeeded or failed with an exit code, the
  attempt number, and duration.
- Attention maps to working / done, or needs-input on failure.
- Methods: retry, cancel, logs.
- illogical run --job creates one.
- Adapters: local and host processes first. hal0 jobs and a CI provider
  are separate, optional adapters with the same state shape.
Service block.
- Config: { host, cmd, port?, restart }.
- On sprites it maps onto sprite-env services; on other hosts the daemon
  supervises it.
- State: up or down, restarts, the last exit, and the port.
- If it has a port, "open" makes an M6a browser block next to it.
Done when:
- a job block runs a build on a VM tab, fails, and shows as needs-input
  on the phone;
- retry from the phone succeeds;
- a service block keeps a dev server up across a cold wake, and opens a
  browser block on its port.
