feat(ui): move a task to another list via drag & drop

Dragging a task row onto a user list in the Lists island now reassigns it
to that list. The task drag holds the pointer capture, so the release is
resolved geometrically (new case between the Mission Control and reorder
cases) instead of going through the Lists island's own DragDrop path,
which never sees a DragEventArgs during a task drag.

TaskRepository.MoveToListAsync reassigns the task plus every descendant
(a child must never sit in a different list than its parent) and appends
the task at the end of the target list. Guards: running tasks and tasks
holding an Active/Kept worktree are rejected to the footer error strip;
a move that changes repo asks for confirmation naming both repos.

The source repo is read from the task's own list rather than the island's
current list, which is a smart/virtual list with no working dir of its own
whenever one of those is shown.
