fix: jobless video assets no longer 500 the library click

Legacy/edge-case video_assets rows without a processing job threw 'has no
processing job' from getVideoStatus — the library detail click 500ed.
VideoStatus.processingJob is now nullable end to end (api type, DTO, web
consumers null-guarded); a jobless asset renders as queued.
