💡 What:
Replaced fs.existsSync and fs.statSync with await fs.promises.access and await fs.promises.stat in src/api/controls/JobControl.ts.

🎯 Why:
The synchronous file system operations block the Node.js event loop, which can degrade performance in a high-concurrency environment or when handling large files. Switching to asynchronous operations allows other tasks to be processed while waiting for I/O.

📊 Measured Improvement:
Micro-benchmarking a single call in a mocked environment showed a slight increase in execution time due to Promise overhead (from ~0.06ms to ~0.5ms per call), which is expected and negligible for file uploads. The primary benefit is the non-blocking nature of the new implementation, allowing for better scalability and responsiveness of the application.

Replaced synchronous file system operations (existsSync, statSync) with asynchronous counterparts (fs.promises.access, fs.promises.stat) in JobControl.ts. This prevents blocking the event loop during file uploads.

Also updated tests to verify the async behavior.
