fix(#1164): wire external-job config keys + document wave:post choice (#2006)

Refinements A-D to the external-job capability (PR #1998 follow-up):

A. Document why the contribution registers at execute:wave:post: #1164 asks
   for wave:pre, but execute-phase.md only dispatches wave:post today (wave:pre
   is declared in the loop host contract but not rendered). Wiring wave:pre is
   a core-loop change #1164 puts out of scope; the executor honors the
   runtime_budget classification guidance before running any tagged task.

B. external_job.artifact_dir is now consumed (was declared but unused): the
   adapter resolves it via the canonical capability-config seam and surfaces
   the resolved root in submit output.

C. external_job.submit_timeout_ms / poll_timeout_ms are now read from config
   (were shadowed by env-only reads). Precedence: env > config > registry
   default; non-numeric config values fall back (no guessing, no NaN).

D. CLI surface gains unit coverage: parseFlags, findPlanningDir,
   resolveExternalJobSettings, formatShowReport.

Regenerates capability-registry.cjs from the updated capability.json.

<!-- external-job capability — execute:wave:post fragment, injected into the executor (#1164).
Why wave:post, not wave:pre (#1164 refinement A): execute-phase.md only
dispatches execute:wave:post today — wave:pre is declared in the loop host
contract but not rendered. Wiring wave:pre dispatch is a core-loop change
#1164 puts out of scope. The executor therefore honors this classification
guidance BEFORE running any task tagged <runtime_budget>long_compute</runtime_budget>,
whether in the current or a subsequent wave, and externalizes rather than
blocking the turn. -->
