Title Supply runs in a job, scoped by their dinner names

archive_title's single-flight scope was <weekStart>@<plan revision>, but
renaming a planned dinner changes the names to title without changing
the plan revision, so two overlapping generations across a rename could
share one model result. The scope is now
<weekStart>@<plan revision>/<sha256 of the ordered dinner names>, the
same list the skill is given, through the harness's own guard.

Push to Calendar and POST /shopping/{weekStart}/generate also waited
for the title call. Generation now enqueues a title_supply_run job
(service-only, in the generation's transaction) for a list still
untitled and returns without waiting; the list reads untitled until the
job stores its title. A failed title still leaves the list untitled, is
logged, recorded in ai_runs, fails the job title_failed, and is retried
by the week's next generation. A titled list enqueues no job.
