fix: stop letting unreadable or truncated descriptions slip past the German filter

isViableContent/isViableUrl defaulted to keep a job when its description
couldn't be fetched at all -- that's what let a fully-German HRM
Systems/Consult & Pepper posting ("In Deutsch bist du verhandlungssicher")
through on 2026-09-10. They now report retry:true instead, and index.ts
leaves the job out of the CSV so a fresh fetch judges it next run rather
than defaulting to keep.

job-room.ch's search API also returns a different keyword-anchored teaser
per hit for the same ad, and only the last one was kept -- a genuinely
German posting could slip through whenever the last keyword's teaser
happened to read as English. Every teaser variant is now collected and
checked together.
