Sample mode

A deployed console has no data directory to read, so it serves a committed set of fixtures instead, and says so. Every screen fed from those fixtures carries a badge.

Two things change beyond the badge. Starting a job is disabled, with the reason given rather than left to be guessed at. Destructive controls are not disabled — they are absent, because nothing on a public instance should offer to delete files that belong to this repository. A control that cannot work is not drawn.
