feat: Agent Orchestrator — multi-project agent dashboard

Tauri + Svelte 5 + Rust application for orchestrating multiple AI coding agents.
Includes Claude, Aider, Codex, and Ollama provider support, multi-agent
communication (btmsg/bttask), session anchors, plugin sandbox, FTS5 search,
Landlock sandboxing, and 507 vitest + 110 cargo tests.
