feat: background task dispatch system with live UI panel

- agent/task_registry.py: file-based JSONL event registry (cross-process)
- agent/task_worker.py: autonomous LLM loop with weather/time/memory/web tools
- agent/dispatch_mcp.py: MCP tool exposing dispatch_task to the main agent
- agent/agent.py: registers dispatch toolset, polls task events → room data
- web: slide-out task panel (FAB button + badge), live step streaming via
  data channel topic 'tasks', status dots (running/completed/failed)
- Dockerfile: copies new task_*.py and dispatch_mcp.py files

The dispatch MCP runs in its own process; events flow through
/tmp/tasks/events.jsonl which the main agent tails every second and
forwards to the browser. Tasks run up to 10 LLM iterations with tool calls.
