}

Only jobs with status Pending (in queue) can be cancelled
Jobs that are already Processing, Completed, or Failed cannot be cancelled
Cancelled jobs are marked as Failed with the error message “Job cancelled by user”
Cancellation is atomic - if successful, the job is guaranteed to be removed from the queue
