## Ejemplo

```go
ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
defer cancel()

go JobWorker(ctx, q, func(job Job) error {
    fmt.Println("processing", job.ID, job.Type)
    return nil // complete
}, WithPollInterval(500*time.Millisecond), WithJobTypes("send_email"))
```

## Notas

Funcion bloqueante — ejecutar en una goroutine. Retorna `ctx.Err()` cuando el context se cancela (graceful shutdown). Los errores transitorios de dequeue (DB) generan un sleep y retry. El handler tiene la responsabilidad completa del procesamiento; JobWorker se encarga de complete/fail.
