Free resources from idle agents automatically (#2203)

* fix(server): release resources held by idle agents

Keep unarchived agents resumable while closing their provider runtimes after two minutes. Active agent schedules keep runtimes resident.

* fix(server): preserve resumable agent state

* fix(server): resume agents when listing commands

* fix(server): preserve collected agent interactions

Each agent in `AgentManager` carries a `lastStatus` of `initializing`, `idle`, `running`, `error`, or `closed`. State transitions persist to disk and stream to subscribed clients via WebSocket.
Each live agent in `AgentManager` carries a `lastStatus` of `initializing`, `idle`, `running`, or `error`. `closed` is the persisted, resumable state for an agent record that has no live provider runtime. State transitions persist to disk and stream to subscribed clients via WebSocket.
## Runtime residency
An unarchived agent may be `closed` without being deleted or archived. Closing releases its provider
processes and subscriptions while retaining its Paseo identity, persistence handle, timeline,
workspace, labels, title, usage, attention, timestamps, and parent relationship. Opening or prompting
the agent runs through `ensureAgentLoaded()`, which resumes the durable provider session under the
same Paseo agent ID. Provider history is not appended again when the canonical timeline is already
primed.
The daemon collects an eligible idle runtime after two minutes and sweeps every 15 seconds. Only
unarchived, non-internal agents that are exactly `idle`, have no active or pending run, replacement,
or permission, and have not been activated during the idle window are eligible. `running`,
`initializing`, and `error` agents stay resident. Subagents are considered independently; collection
does not cascade or change parentage.
Active schedules targeting an existing agent protect that agent from collection. Paused, completed,
and new-agent schedules do not. A pane may remain open after collection; its next prompt resumes the
runtime.

Archive is a **soft delete**: the agent record stays on disk with `archivedAt` set, the runtime is closed, and the agent disappears from active lists. Archive is **global** — it lives on the server and propagates to every connected client.
Archive is distinct from runtime collection. Archive sets `archivedAt`, invokes the provider's native
archive hook, and cascades to managed children. Runtime collection does none of those things; it only
releases the live runtime and writes `lastStatus: closed` on the still-active record.
`create_agent_request` can opt an agent into `autoArchive`. In that mode the daemon archives the agent after the first terminal turn event (`turn_completed`, `turn_failed`, or `turn_canceled`). When the agent owns an isolated workspace, auto-archive archives that workspace too; the managed worktree is removed when its final workspace reference is gone.
Archiving runs through `AgentManager.archiveAgent` (`packages/server/src/server/agent/agent-manager.ts`):
