Render a needs: DAG as an ASCII graph #9

Description

@Co-Messi

Body:

When a job is skipped because a dependency was skipped, it would help to see the needs: graph. Add an optional ASCII rendering of the job DAG to the CLI output (perhaps behind a --graph flag) so the propagation is visible.

Scope:

  • Build a small ASCII/box-drawing renderer for the job dependency graph.
  • Annotate each node with its verdict (fires / skipped / unknown).
  • Keep it readable for the common small-DAG case; large graphs can degrade gracefully.

The core already exposes needs on each JobVerdict, so this is a rendering-only task in src/cli/.
