Fix critical deadlocks causing API to hang on second job

Fixed two separate deadlock issues preventing job queue from processing
multiple jobs sequentially:

**Deadlock #1: JobQueue lock ordering violation**
- Fixed _calculate_queue_positions() attempting to acquire _jobs_lock
  while already holding _queue_positions_lock
- Implemented snapshot pattern to avoid nested lock acquisition
- Updated submit_job() to properly separate lock acquisitions

**Deadlock #2: JobRepository non-reentrant lock bug**
- Fixed _flush_dirty_jobs_sync() trying to re-acquire _dirty_lock
  while already holding it (threading.Lock is not reentrant)
- Removed redundant lock acquisition since caller already holds lock

Additional improvements:
- Added comprehensive lock ordering documentation to JobQueue class
- Added detailed debug logging throughout job submission flow
- Enabled DEBUG logging in API server for troubleshooting

Testing: Successfully processed 3 consecutive jobs without hanging

+    THREAD SAFETY & LOCK ORDERING
+    ==============================
+    This class uses multiple locks to protect shared state. To prevent deadlocks,
+    all code MUST follow this strict lock ordering:
+
+    LOCK HIERARCHY (acquire in this order):
+        1. _jobs_lock         - Protects _jobs dict and _current_job_id
+        2. _queue_positions_lock - Protects _queued_job_ids deque
+
+    RULES:
+        - NEVER acquire _jobs_lock while holding _queue_positions_lock
+        - Always release locks in reverse order of acquisition
+        - Keep lock hold time minimal - release before I/O operations
+        - Use snapshot/copy pattern when data must cross lock boundaries
+
+    CRITICAL METHODS:
+        - _calculate_queue_positions(): Uses snapshot pattern to avoid nested locks
+        - submit_job(): Acquires locks separately, never nested
+        - _worker_loop(): Acquires locks separately in correct order
