feat(cron,gateway): NAS-JWT fire verifier + /api/cron/fire webhook (Chronos)

Phase 4E (E.1 + E.2). The inbound side of Chronos: NAS POSTs the agent when a
one-shot fires; the agent verifies a NAS-minted JWT and runs the job.

E.1 — plugins/cron/chronos/verify.py:
- verify_nas_fire_token(token, expected_audience, jwks_or_key, issuer): verifies
  signature against the NAS JWKS (RS/ES family; symmetric rejected), aud == this
  agent, exp/nbf, iss, and purpose == "cron_fire" (so a general agent JWT can't
  be replayed against the fire endpoint). Returns claims or None; never raises.
  Crypto delegated to PyJWT[crypto] (already a declared dep) — no hand-rolled
  JWT, no new dependency. No key configured → refuse (never unsigned-decode a
  security boundary).
- get_fire_verifier(): pluggable indirection so the DQ-4 escape hatch
  (direct per-job cron-key) can swap in with no handler change.

E.2 — gateway/platforms/api_server.py:
- POST /api/cron/fire (registered only when _CRON_AVAILABLE). Authenticated by
  the NAS-JWT via get_fire_verifier() — NOT API_SERVER_KEY (NAS holds no API
  key; this is the only inbound that triggers remote job execution, so it gets
  its own purpose-scoped check). Verifier args come from cron.chronos.* config.
  401 on bad/missing/forged token. 400 on missing job_id. On success: 202 +
  fire_due runs in the background (so a long agent turn never trips NAS's HTTP
  timeout); the store CAS claim inside fire_due de-dupes a scheduler retry.

Tests:
- test_chronos_verify (11): REAL RS256 signing — valid→claims, wrong-aud,
  missing/wrong purpose, expired, wrong-iss, tampered-signature (attacker key),
  no-key-refuse, empty-token, JWKS-URL key resolution, get_fire_verifier.
- test_cron_fire_webhook (5): valid→202+fire, invalid→401+no-fire, missing
  token→401, missing job_id→400, and fire path does NOT require API_SERVER_KEY.
api_server regression suites (214) green.

E.3 (NAS endpoints) is a separate cross-repo PR; the wire contract lands next
(docs/chronos-managed-cron-contract.md).

"""Tests for the Chronos cron-fire webhook (POST /api/cron/fire) — Phase 4E.2.
The webhook authenticates a NAS-minted JWT via the pluggable fire-verifier
(NOT API_SERVER_KEY), then runs the job via the resolved provider's fire_due in
the background, returning 202. These tests monkeypatch the verifier and
resolve_cron_scheduler the verifier itself is tested with real crypto in
