 `conga.JobID` returns the `summer_jobs` row of the running job. It reports `false` when the job has no row, as in the example above, where the function is called directly rather than by a worker.

-- River-free job declarations: `conga.Job` turns `func(ctx context.Context, args T) error` into a `pact.Job`; `conga.OnQueue`, `conga.MaxAttempts` and `conga.Timeout` set per-job defaults. A `pact.Job` not built by `conga.Job` is rejected with `conga.ErrNotCongaJob`.
+- River-free job declarations: `conga.Job` turns `func(ctx context.Context, args T) error` into a `pact.Job`; `conga.OnQueue`, `conga.MaxAttempts` and `conga.Timeout` set per-job defaults, which `conga.Describe` reports back for tests. A `pact.Job` not built by `conga.Job` is rejected with `conga.ErrNotCongaJob`.
 - Transactional dispatch: `conga.Manager.Dispatch` inserts the `summer_jobs` row with `conga.StatusInProgress`, the principal's user id and admin flag, `progress_max` from `conga.DispatchOpts.Count` and JSON metadata, then enqueues the River job in the same transaction. It opens a transaction itself when the caller has none.
 - Plain enqueue: `conga.Manager.Enqueue` inserts a River job without a record row, inside the caller's transaction when there is one.
 - Jobs whose worker ships later: a kind that no plugin registers is always inserted through the insert-only River client, so `conga.Manager.Dispatch` and `conga.Manager.Enqueue` succeed while a worker runs and the job waits on its queue. While a worker runs, such a kind must name a queue no worker serves; an empty queue, `default`, `conga.QueueScheduled`, a configured queue or a registered job's queue is `conga.ErrUnregisteredKindQueue`, because a worker would fetch the job, find no worker for its kind and discard it.
