9fce92f427 MUL-6846: feat(cli): expose active and cross-issue agent runs on issue runs (#7922)
* feat(cli): expose active and cross-issue agent runs on `issue runs`

An agent could already read one issue's task runs, but only as the full
execution history — every past run, hydrated with attribution and token
usage — with no way to ask the one question coordination actually needs:
who is working right now. And nothing at all could answer it across a
parent's sub-issues, which is the case #7768 describes: several agents
claim sibling children in parallel and each starts overlapping work
without knowing the others exist.

The claim-time `## Active sibling runs` block does not cover this. It is
scoped by agent_id — your OWN other in-flight tasks — so a different
agent running on a sibling issue is invisible, and it is a snapshot taken
before the turn started.

Two query params on the existing task-runs endpoint, and the flags that
drive them:

  multica issue runs <id> --active      # in-flight runs on this issue
  multica issue runs <id> --siblings    # ...and across the sub-issue family

`--siblings` roots at the issue's parent, or at the issue itself when it
has none. One rule covers both directions: a child sees its siblings, a
parent sees its children, a standalone issue degenerates to its own
active runs — so a caller does not have to know an issue's shape before
choosing a flag. Rows carry the issue they belong to, ordered
running-first and bounded, because a parent that fanned out hundreds of
children must not turn an advisory read into an unbounded response.

Both reads are advisory. Nothing here reserves an issue or serialises
anything; they tell a run whom to coordinate with, and coordination
still happens in comments.

With neither param the response is byte-identical to before, which the
issue-detail execution log and the CLI's short-task-ID resolver both
depend on.

* fix(cli): address review on active/sibling run reads

Four fixes from review, all on the same theme: a coordination read has to
be cheap and has to be honest about what it did not tell you.

- `--active` no longer hydrates usage. ListIssueTaskUsage returns a row
  per (task, provider, model) for every task the issue ever ran, so the
  active path was still paying the full-history cost the filter exists to
  remove — for a column that is near-empty on runs that have not
  finished. The execution log keeps it.

- An invalid `active` value is a 400 instead of a silent fallback.
  `active=tru` used to answer "who is here now?" with the whole history
  under a 200, and a pile of finished runs reads as the live ones. Same
  reason the unknown-scope check already existed, same shape as the
  comment-list boolean params.

- The 50-row family cap now announces itself. The query asks for one row
  past the cap and sets X-Active-Runs-Truncated when it comes back; the
  CLI warns on stderr. Without it, "the answer was cut off" and "no run
  on that sibling" are the same response, and an agent reads the second.
  The cap is also documented in the flag help, the skill and
  CLI_AND_DAEMON.md, along with the ordering it depends on.

- The skill's new agent-facing contract is pinned in
  builtin_skills_test.go: that the claim-time block is same-agent only,
  the `--siblings` command itself, the cap disclosure, and the
  advisory/no-lock boundary — the last a negative anchor, because an
  agent that reads these as a lock skips the coordination they exist to
  prompt.

Also reuses service.IssueIdentifier instead of re-deriving the format.

* fix(server): expose the truncation header to CORS, correct the cap rationale

Both from re-review, and both about the cap telling the truth.

- HeaderActiveRunsTruncated was missing from corsExposedHeaders. No
  browser client requests scope=family today, so nothing is broken right
  now — but a custom response header that is not exposed is unreadable
  from JS, which is the exact silent-truncation failure the header was
  added to remove. The registry and its guard test exist because this
  drifted once already (MUL-5492); completing both is two lines.

- The comment justifying 50 was wrong. It claimed real family
  concurrency is bounded far below the cap so 50 sits above any
  legitimate answer. It does not: agentconfig.MaxMaxConcurrentTasks lets
  ONE agent run 50 concurrent tasks, this feature exists for the case
  where several agents work a family at once, and the returned set
  includes queued / dispatched / waiting rows that no execution slot
  bounds at all — a parent that fans out 200 children can have 200
  enqueued. So 50 is a response-size budget and nothing more, truncation
  is an ordinary outcome rather than a pathological one, and that is
  precisely why it has to be reported. Comment and PR body now say that.

* refactor(cli): give the family read its own compact row, cap at 20

The family read was reusing AgentTaskResponse — the execution log's row.
Measured against real data that is ~1645 bytes per run, of which the
caller reads almost nothing: attribution (625 bytes, and its own extra
query), result, work_dir, relative_work_dir, trigger_summary,
coalesced comment ids. An agent asking "is anyone working next to me?"
was spending ~20k tokens of its own context on the answer.

ActiveRunSummary carries what the question needs and nothing else: task,
issue, agent, status, and timestamps. 367 bytes per row. It is a separate
type on purpose — not AgentTaskResponse, and not ActiveSiblingRunData
(the claim payload's row, which has no agent field because those runs all
belong to the claiming agent by construction). Reusing either would mean
an optional field only one caller ever sets, which is the shape this
commit removes from AgentTaskResponse.

The query now names its columns instead of embedding the task row, so
Postgres stops detoasting the JSONB blobs too, and the handler drops
attribution hydration along with the field.

Cap goes 50 -> 20 (maintainer call): a handful of runs is the normal
case, so the budget is set to the normal case. Truncation was already
reported and still is, which is what makes a small cap safe.

Worst-case response: 80 KB / ~20k tokens -> 7 KB / ~1.8k tokens.

The CLI's family table drops COMPLETED and ERROR, which are empty on
every row of a read that only returns work still in flight.
