Marc-André Bombeck 154c93b5e1 feat: surface a stalled or failed backup schedule
The weekly pass can stop and leave no trace where anyone looks. The
handler's own error never runs when the job is killed rather than thrown;
`recordError()` increments an unnamed counter; and the admin status page's
failing-queue panel looks back 72 hours, which for a weekly queue means a
permanent failure is on screen three days in seven. The backups page
itself showed an ordinary row with an ordinary timestamp, because a copy
made six weeks ago reads exactly like Sunday's until somebody subtracts
the dates.

The listing now carries two facts that fail at different times: the age of
the newest scheduled copy, which never leaves any retention window, and
the terminal state of the last scheduled run, which is the only place the
reason is written down. `readLastQueueRun` takes the newest run rather
than a window, so a weekly queue's outcome stays readable until the next
one replaces it, and it unwraps the value pg-boss stores a thrown error
under, so the page says "job timed out" instead of raw JSON. The
failing-queue reader gets the same unwrap.

Manual uploads are excluded from the cadence judgement by the shape of the
input, so an ad-hoc upload cannot make a dead cron look alive, and a fresh
instance is not called overdue for having no copy yet.

The listing also stops reading every blob into the web process to measure
it; `octet_length` answers that in the database, which on an instance with
large records was its own way of running out of memory.
