feat(agents-panel): היררכיה, סמן-כהושלם ידני, ובורר-יעד נגלל (5 תיקוני יו"ר)

טאב הסוכנים בתיק — 5 תיקונים לבקשת היו"ר, מאושרים דרך שער-העיצוב
(Claude Design X17, כרטיס 18i4):

1. היררכיה — הרצה שנפתחה תחת השורש (למשל CMP-220 תחת CMP-189) מסומנת
   בתג "↳ <parent>" גם בציר-הזמן וגם בבורר-היעד (בהזחה). הנתון parent_id
   כבר הגיע מה-API — תצוגה בלבד.
2. סמן-כהושלם / בטל ידני — כל משימה פתוחה מקבלת פעולות בכותרת. פותר
   "אין אפשרות לסמן ידנית" (superseded runs נתקעו ב-in_review בלי מנגנון
   סגירה). endpoint חדש: POST /api/cases/{n}/agents/issue-status → דרך
   ה-Port (pc_set_issue_status), סגירה loop-safe ישירה ל-DB, בלי wakeup.
3. בורר-היעד נגלל — max-height + overflow פנימי, כך שהתיבה לא בורחת
   מגבולות העמוד. פותר "לא רואים את התחתית / לא מגיעים לפתיחת הליך".
4. "פתח הרצה חדשה" עלה לראש הרשימה, מעל "משימות פעילות", ומודגש.
5. קו-הפרדה בין משימות בציר-הזמן עבה יותר (border-b-2 rule).

G12: כל מגע-פלטפורמה עובר דרך agent_platform_port. אימות: lint + tsc +
next build עוברים.

+"כל התורים ריקים — אין עבודה".
+
+**הסיבה:** `ctx.agents.invoke(agentId, companyId, {prompt, reason})` הוא ה-API **המתועד**
+של ה-Plugin SDK ("*Invoke an agent with a prompt payload*"), ו-`prompt` הוא שדה חובה.
+Paperclip מקבל אותו, שומר אותו ב-`agent_wakeup_requests.payload.prompt` — **וה-runner קורא

+"""Single source of truth for the case-status lifecycle (the *status model*).

+Every consumer derives its order / labels / phase from this one registry:
+  • ``CaseStatus`` enum (models.py) — the type-level key set (kept consistent
+    by the assertion at the bottom of this module);
+  • the forward-only ``STATUS_ORDER`` guard in ``tools/cases.py``;
+  • the ``GET /api/status-model`` endpoint (web/app.py) that the frontend
+    mirror (``web-ui/src/lib/api/case-status.ts``) is generated against.
+
+To make a status *do something* on entry (notify, kick a job, …), set its
+``on_enter`` to an action key — the single place where a status's behaviour is
+declared. ``tools/cases.py`` dispatches it when a case transitions into that
+status (forward-only), so the behaviour lives next to the definition.
+
+The five **phases** are the coarse pipeline the 12 statuses collapse into for the
+header stepper. Intermediate analyst/research states (``analyst_verified``,
+``research_complete``) are first-class canonical statuses here — the agents set
+them, so they must be in the model rather than fall between the canonical set
+and the legacy bucket (the bug that made the chip, stepper and manual-changer
+disagree).

+
+Emits one structured event per agent-platform operation (wakeup, disposition
+comment, interaction reap/cancel, run cancel, session reset) so recovery-loop
+behaviour is **observable in real time** instead of reconstructed forensically
+from the Paperclip DB (``agent_wakeup_requests`` / ``heartbeat_runs``). See
+[[reference_paperclip_recovery_loops]] / [[reference_recovery_loop_stranded_child]]
+for the failure modes this makes visible.
+
+**Platform-agnostic by design (INV-G12 / docs/spec/X15).** Events are named in
+domain terms and carry no Paperclip-specific symbols — this module imports
+*nothing* from the Paperclip shell. The Port (``web/agent_platform_port.py``)
+calls :func:`instrument` / :func:`emit` around its operations, so the telemetry
+semantics survive a platform swap.
+
+**OTLP-ready, "logs first" (#219).** Each event is a flat dict with a stable
+schema, written today as one JSON line on the ``agent.telemetry`` logger
+(greppable in Coolify logs). Swapping :data:`_SINK` for an OTLP exporter — or
+attaching an OTLP handler to that logger — is the later step, with **no
+call-site changes**. Timestamps are stored in UTC (display-in-Israel is a
+read-side concern; see [[feedback_israel_time]]).
