Hans Heinemann 8994f87a43 feat: implement core/team_runner.py and cli/agency.py
- core/blackboard.py: add t3_task_lists table, extend event kinds to
  include full visibility vocabulary (gate_pending, gate_approved,
  gate_rejected, gate_paused, gate_resumed, path_amendment, log), and
  add query methods (get_events, get_latest_gate_event, get_t3_task_lists,
  all_t3_committed, get_briefs, get_workstreams, etc.)

- core/team_runner.py: full run lifecycle orchestrator
  - Loads team.yaml + role_registry.yaml, instantiates all four adapter types
  - T1 Plan (two-phase: plan + accept), T2 Lead/Specialist/Synthesis,
    T3 Squad Lead with mesh draft/commit cycle and mesh-timeout escalation,
    T4 swarm+pipeline with dep-ordering, T5 fan-out + joint verdict
  - Async (asyncio.gather) for parallel workstream and T4/T5 fan-out
  - Gate logic: gate_pending → notify → poll blackboard → gate_approved/rejected
  - Path amendment monitor (background task)
  - EscalationHandler integrated into _dispatch_with_retry
  - T3 mesh timeout → T2 re-scope escalation
  - Terminal failure → notify + run status=failed
  - VCS branch creation + PR at T1 Accept phase
  - Runtime selection: coding_agent runtime for preferred_runtime="coding_agent",
    tier_runtime_map overrides, fallback to default runtime

- cli/agency.py: agency CLI with subcommands
  - run: start pipeline, prints run_id + watch/inspect hints
  - watch: tails blackboard events live with ANSI-coloured output
  - inspect: run tree, --tier filter, --brief detail view
  - approve: write gate_approved directly to blackboard (universal gate path)
  - reject: write gate_rejected with --reason
  - pause: write gate_paused signal
  - resume: write gate_resumed signal
