Description

In openEO the PATCH operation is optional. Many implementations struggle a bit with implementing updating jobs, especially when already executed. I think I'd recommend to not require this endpoint and make it optional. Could be explored again via a link in GET /jobs/:id (we don't have that link defined in openEO yet, but happy to add).

Research direction

Start by locating the specification text that defines PATCH /jobs/:id and the GET /jobs/:id links. Confirm how optional operations and links are represented elsewhere, then update the requirement so PATCH is optional and record the intended GET link behavior; done means the affected specification text is consistent.
