Manual WebUI cron runs previously called cron.scheduler.run_job(job)
and then only cleared the in-memory running flag. That meant output
could be dropped and job metadata like last_run_at / last_status was
not updated after a manual run.
This PR matches the scheduled cron path (cron/scheduler.py:1334-1364)
exactly:
- Save manual-run output via save_job_output
- Mark manual runs complete via mark_job_run
- Treat empty final_response as a soft failure with the same error
string as the scheduled path
- Record manual-run failures in job metadata via mark_job_run(False)
- Keep _run_cron_tracked self-contained for worker-thread execution
Includes 2 behavioral regression tests using monkeypatch.setitem on
sys.modules to mock cron.scheduler.run_job + cron.jobs helpers — the
right test pattern (exercises the real _run_cron_tracked code path).
Split out from #1352 (the larger profile-aware-cron-panel PR that's
on hold) per pre-release-review feedback. Self-contained, doesn't
touch the held PR's profile-filtering scope.
