Dashboard: show a relative next-run countdown #5

Description

What

On the dashboard, show a human-friendly relative next-run countdown (e.g. in 3m 20s) next to each job, in addition to the absolute next-run timestamp.

Why

A relative countdown makes it obvious at a glance which job fires next — friendlier than reading timestamps.

Suggested approach

  • The next-run time is already computed (Cronos). Render a relative string in the dashboard table.
  • A small client-side timer can keep it ticking without a full refresh.

Acceptance criteria

  • Each job row shows a relative next-run alongside the absolute time
  • Updates without a manual page refresh
  • Degrades gracefully for paused/invalid jobs

Friendly front-end task — comment to grab it.
