Subject: [PATCH 4/4] earnings-26: the projection pauses with its reason, the
 earned line is the measured 24 hours, the dev fee moves to the bottom of
 Settings

The founder read PC 1's Earnings tab: "100k+ IGN/day" on one line and "0 blocks in 2 hours" on the next, both shown as
earnings while a job held the card and the chain stood still. Three truths on the tab now, each with a test:

1. When a job holds the card (jobs.active, or a card in state held) the projection line reads "Projection paused:
   <job name> running since <time>; the card is not mining" and carries no IGN a day figure.
2. When the chain has no block for ten minutes (node.tip_age_s at or over 600) the line reads "Network paused" with the
   last block's age; the projection resumes with the next block. A job's word wins when both hold.
3. The earned line is always the measured last 24 hours from the node's coinbase reads, labelled "earned", never the
   projection. The engine's ladder keeps the time of every credited block for a day (Ladder.block_times, trimmed on each
   read) and reports ladder.blocks_24h, since ladder.blocks keeps only the last 30 and a fast card finds more in a day;
   a record from before the field reads its block list once. The run count and the shards paid sit under it.

The dev fee leaves the Earnings tab entirely: no switch, no line, no words. It sits at the bottom of Settings as its own
small section (The dev fee, 1%): the site's wording from site/miner.html, what it funds in one line, no control. The
command-line arm (--dev-fee 0) is unchanged and the off state reads as off. Tests: Earnings renders no fee words; the
fee section is the last card on Settings and holds no control; the page code has no fee switch.

Mock scenarios earn-held (PC 1's shape, a floor-lane job holding the 5090 for two hours) and earn-still (no block for
15 min), both with 3 blocks earned in the last 24 hours. Known-failed first on release-0.3.25 (4758c914): the projection
read as earnings under a job, "blocks this run" stood where earned belongs, the fee switch sat on Earnings.
