Eric Traut 76d98a771e Add task mentions to the TUI composer (#40315)
## What changed

- Include matching Codex tasks in the `@` mention popup when the active thread supports task tools, prioritizing tasks from the current working directory.
- Submit selected tasks as bounded live thread references so Codex can load their contents with `read_thread`.
- Preserve task mentions across composer history and thread start, resume, and fork flows.

## Testing

- Add coverage for task search and capability propagation, popup selection and rendering, submission encoding, history round-trips, and reference validation and limits.
