Research direction

Reproduce the report with Nomad v0.8.6 by running `nomad status` for a periodic batch job and inspect the Children Job Summary alongside its previously launched jobs. Determine whether negative Pending and Running counts are expected; done means confirming the behavior or identifying the status output that needs correction.
