Follow-up to #162 from Will's design call: the Agents tab briefly gave background commands their own section below the agents, but the header's activity chip already lists every background task with its command, terminal toggle, and stop button — a better home, and the panel's section was a duplicate.

The Agents tab is now agents-only:

  • The run-branch machinery is deleted (AgentRunBranch, runBranch, agentInitiatedRuns, the provenance-tag helpers) — net −300 lines.
  • The panel, its store source, and the launcher stop carrying backgroundRuns and the terminal toggle; the launcher's Agents row reads "No agents yet" instead of counting commands.
  • Promoted codex exec runs are unaffected: they are agents, and keep their rows and stop handles.
  • The activity chip is untouched — it was already the more capable surface.

Typecheck, lint, full web unit (167 files) and browser (469) suites green.

The tab briefly listed non-agent background commands in their own section
below the agents, but the header's activity chip already gives every
background task a richer surface - its command, terminal toggle and stop
button - so the section was a duplicate with a worse address. The Agents
tab now holds only agents: the run-branch machinery (AgentRunBranch,
runBranch, agentInitiatedRuns, the provenance tag helpers) is deleted, the
panel and its store stop carrying backgroundRuns and the terminal toggle,
and the launcher row reports "No agents yet" instead of counting commands.
Promoted codex exec runs are unaffected: they are agents and keep their
rows and stop handles.
