Jon Chery 4c2e59cf3f fix(P06): workloadToTaskSpecs command split + runnable examples

Root cause: orca job run <example>.md failed with fork/exec: no such
file or directory on every example. Two compounding problems:

1. workloadToTaskSpecs (internal/cli/job.go:340) passed the entire
   runtime.command string (e.g. "/usr/bin/httpd -f /etc/orca/web-app/
   httpd.conf") as a single binary path to exec.Command, which then
   looked for a file literally named "/usr/bin/httpd -f ..." and
   failed. The v0.9 markdown parser stores command: as a raw string;
   the legacy HCL path had separate command+args fields. Fix: add
   splitCommand helper that splits on strings.Fields into binary+args,
   with /bin/true fallback for empty commands.

2. The example commands referenced binaries that don't exist on a bare
   Linux machine (/usr/bin/httpd, postgres, api-server, fluent-bit).
   Fix: rewrite the 5 example runtime.command values to use /bin/sleep
   3600 (long-running services) or /bin/echo (one-shot job) so they
   run out-of-the-box. Each file has a Production substitution note
   showing the real binary to use in deployment.

Verified: orca job run examples/full-stack/worker.md now succeeds
(exit 0). All 4 services (web-app, api, log-shipper, postgres) start
correctly (task started, pid assigned). 12 new unit tests pass
(splitCommand: 7 cases, workloadToTaskSpecs: 5 cases). All 5 example
jobspecs still parse + validate (gate C-20). make lint clean.

---ci---
project: orca
phase: 6
milestone: v0.10
status: execute
decisions:
  - id: D-195
    decision: split command string via strings.Fields in workloadToTaskSpecs
    rationale: exec.Command expects binary path + args as separate elements;
      the v0.9 markdown parser stores command: as a single string with no
      args field (unlike legacy HCL). strings.Fields is dep-free and handles
      multiple spaces/tabs. Shell quoting (single/double quotes inside the
      command) is not handled — examples avoid sh -c with quoted strings.
    confidence: 0.95
    alternatives: [shellquote.Split from mvdan/sh (adds dependency)]
lessons:
  - The v0.9 markdown jobspec path needs the same command+args split that
    the legacy HCL path had via separate command/args fields. The parser
    stores command: as a raw string; the CLI must split it before passing
    to exec.Command.
  - Example jobspecs should use /bin/sleep and /bin/echo (binaries that
    exist on every Linux machine) so they run out-of-the-box. Descriptive
    production commands belong in a comment block, not in runtime.command.

API Server

Backend API service binding to 127.0.0.1:9090 (TCP opt-in, R-007). Canary update strategy with manual promote. Two replicas with CPU constraint (>= 2 vCPUs) and API-role node selection.

Production substitution: replace runtime.command with your actual API binary, e.g. /usr/bin/api-server --listen 127.0.0.1:9090.
