Never run two turns into one, and say when a session waits on its own work

A turn started by something with no row of its own -- a subagent reporting
back, a peer message the CLI only owns up to at the end -- met the previous
reply with nothing between it, and the fold grew that reply rather than
starting a new one. Two answers were drawn as one paragraph, running together
mid-sentence with not even a space between them. The fold now refuses to grow
a settled reply, and `joinPages` carries the same rule across a page boundary.

The other half is the row. `Event::TaskNote` records a background task
reporting back -- a subagent that finished, or a backgrounded command -- with
its title, how it ended and what it said; `TaskNoteRow` draws it as a card,
since somebody said this, and its own row rather than an update to the Task
call's, which is above everything the session has said since. Reported once
however many of the CLI's two lifecycle shapes arrive.

`SessionStatus::Waiting` is a session whose own turn is over while work it
started is not. `Idle` means "waiting for a person" and this means the
opposite, so reporting it as idle sent a "finished" notification at the one
moment that was untrue. Drawn as "waiting" in `waitingColor`; the queue and
the held-command boundary release on either end-of-turn status, so a message
sent while a subagent runs is not held until it finishes.

And a usage limit the account hits inside a subagent now reaches the session
as well as the subagent's transcript. `resume.rs` can only schedule against a
session, and a background Task outliving its parent's turn is the ordinary
case, so auto-resume was doing nothing at all for it.

The status word and its colour were two `when`s on two screens, and the second
missed `waiting` silently; they are `sessionStatusWord`/`sessionStatusColour`
now. Echo's `/subagent n` reproduces the whole shape, staggered a second
apart. Verified on the emulator against the sandbox: 169 server tests, ktfmt,
clippy, rustfmt, Android lint and the JVM unit tests all clean.

### A task reporting back (2026-09-06)
**A subagent finishing is a message the session receives, and it gets a row.**
The CLI says so on a `system/task_notification` line carrying the task's
status and its own closing summary; the parent then wakes up and runs a turn
because of it. Before this the parent's transcript had nothing between the
reply that ended the previous turn and the reply that answered the
notification, and the phone's fold grew the older message rather than starting
a new one — so two answers were drawn as one paragraph, running together
mid-sentence with not even a space between them.
Both halves were wrong and both are fixed. The fold now refuses to grow a
*settled* reply, so a turn boundary is always a message boundary whatever
caused it (`joinPages` carries the same rule across a page boundary). And the
notification is recorded as `Event::TaskNote`, drawn as a card naming who
reported and what they said — a card rather than a divider, because somebody
said this, and its own row rather than an update to the Task call's, which is
above everything the session has said since and would change where no reader
is looking.
`status` is carried beside `summary` rather than folded into it because the
summary is absent exactly when things went wrong, and "finished" is the wrong
word for a task that was killed. `title` is the subagent's; a backgrounded
command has none and its summary names itself, so the card says "a background
task" rather than inventing one.
Reported once. The two lifecycle shapes (`task_notification` and
`task_updated`) can both arrive for one task, and the translator's `tasks` map
is what says which got there first — removing the entry is also what stops the
task counting as outstanding, which is what decides `Status::Waiting`.
### A limit a subagent hits is the session's (2026-09-06)
A background Task runs on long after its parent's turn ended, so **the account
running out while the main agent is idle is the ordinary shape of the problem
rather than an edge of it.** `translate_child` used to record everything a
subagent produced into the subagent's own transcript and return nothing, which
meant `Event::LimitReached` never reached the session — and the session is the
only thing `resume.rs` can schedule against. That session then waited for a
person for ever, with nothing anywhere saying so. The limit is hoisted now: it
goes into the subagent's transcript, where it happened, *and* out to the
session, which is what auto-resume needs.
