feat(app): float composer trackers as pills over the transcript (#3482)

The subagents track and the task list were stacked cards above the
composer. Each one pushed the composer further down the pane and painted
an opaque band the timeline stopped at, and both spent a full row on a
count that fits in a pill.

Both are now pills that open a panel — a popover on wide screens, a sheet
on compact ones, from the existing menu engine rather than a fourth
floating-panel implementation. The row frame is shared, so a subagent row
and a task row sit on the same rail whatever their contents.

The bar mounts inside the transcript's animated container and pins itself
to the bottom edge, so scrolled content passes under the pills instead of
stopping above them. It stays a child of that container rather than a
sibling floating over the composer: on Android a view outside its parent's
bounds paints but takes no touches, and every pill is pressable. The
container carries the same keyboard transform the composer does, so the
pills track the composer's top edge when the keyboard moves.

The tracker state moves out of the composer with it. None of it was
composer state; it lived there because that is where it used to render.

- **Composer toolbar** — The bottom control row inside the composer input. Contains agent controls, attachment button, voice controls, and stop/send controls. Code: `leftContent`, `beforeVoiceContent`, and `rightContent` slots in `MessageInput` (`packages/app/src/composer/input/input.tsx`). Forbidden: "Status bar".
- **Agent controls** — Provider, model, mode, thinking, and provider-feature controls for an agent or draft agent. Code: `AgentControls` / `DraftAgentControls` (`packages/app/src/composer/agent-controls/index.tsx`). Forbidden: "Agent status bar".
- **Composer footer** — Optional area rendered below the composer input but still inside the keyboard-shifted composer layout. Code: `Composer.footer` (`packages/app/src/composer/index.tsx`).
- **Composer track** — A contextual lane above the composer input. Specific tracks use the `<thing> track` form: **Queue track**, **Subagents track**. Code: queue track inside `Composer` (`packages/app/src/composer/index.tsx`), `SubagentsTrack` (`packages/app/src/subagents/track.tsx`).
- **Composer track** — A contextual lane at the foot of a pane, by the composer input. Specific tracks use the `<thing> track` form: **Queue track**, **Subagents track**, **Tasks track**. The subagents and tasks tracks are pills floating over the transcript, each opening a panel with its rows; the queue track is a lane inside the composer itself. Code: queue track inside `Composer` (`packages/app/src/composer/index.tsx`), pill and panel frame in `packages/app/src/composer/tracks.tsx`, `SubagentsTrack` (`packages/app/src/subagents/track.tsx`), `AgentTaskList` (`packages/app/src/composer/task-list/index.tsx`).
- **Subagent** — User-facing term for an agent session related to a parent agent session. Use **subagents** in UI copy and docs. Internal daemon/provider plumbing may say "child agent" or `child_session`, especially for provider-managed imports; do not surface "child agent" as a product term.
- **Attachment tray** — The selected-attachments row inside the composer input, above the text input. Code: `renderAttachmentTray` (`packages/app/src/composer/index.tsx`). Forbidden: "Attachment bar".
- **Fork** — Starting a NEW agent session seeded with a copy of another session's curated chat history. The history rides along as a `chat_history` composer attachment on a draft; the fork does **not** resume or branch the provider-side session, and the source session keeps running untouched. Two targets, one surface, one RPC (`agent.fork_context`, gated on the `agentForkContext` host feature). UI: the fork menu lives in the assistant turn footer and offers "Fork in a new tab" / "Fork in a new workspace". On a **completed** turn it sits beside the copy button and pins a boundary to that turn, so the fork stops where the turn ended. On the **in-flight** turn it sits beside the progress loader and elapsed timer, and omits the boundary entirely — `selectForkContextRows` projects the whole timeline when no boundary is given, so the fork captures everything **up to now**, including the response still streaming. That omission is what makes mid-run forking work; pinning a boundary there would silently drop the live response. Forbidden on provider-subagent (read-only) panes. Code: `useForkAgent` (`packages/app/src/hooks/use-fork-agent.ts`), `selectForkContextRows` (`packages/server/src/server/agent/activity-curator.ts`). Don't confuse with: git fork (unrelated; Paseo has no such concept), **Worktree** (filesystem isolation, not history copying).
