Reminders written down as todos had no home: every task looked like Claude work.
A manual task now shows a MANUAL badge and hides send-to-queue, refine and the
planning session; the queue picker, daily prep and the list handler all skip it,
with a TaskStateService guard so the MCP surface and hub cannot start one either.
Opening a hand-driven ConPTY session stays available on purpose.
A list can be marked manual in its settings, which makes tasks created there
(UI and MCP add_task) start out manual. Toggle per task from its context menu.
Queueing a task is itself the explicit "run me" signal — the extra
tag/list filter was redundant and surprised users whose queued tasks
were silently skipped.

Slice 3 of the worker state and queue consolidation refactor.
- Add IQueueWaker / QueueWaker (singleton holding the wake semaphore).
- Add IQueuePicker / QueuePicker; raw SQL UPDATE...RETURNING moves out of
TaskRepository.GetNextQueuedAgentTaskAsync (deleted) and now also filters
on blocked_by_task_id IS NULL and writes started_at on claim.
- TaskStateService takes IQueueWaker directly; the Func<QueueService>
indirection is gone. State transitions to Queued auto-wake the dispatcher.
- QueueService waits via the shared waker and dispatches via the picker.
- Drop explicit _queue.WakeQueue() calls in WorkerHub.QueuePlanningSubtasksAsync
and ExternalMcpService.AddTask. The hub WakeQueue endpoint stays for
diagnostics, delegating to _waker.Wake().
- Migrate tests; pre-existing flaky AppSettings/ExternalMcp tests untouched.
