Redesign automation task execution

[WangWilly]

Summary

• redesign the Automation page around parallel task execution and workflow stages
• add status-aware task icons that jump to inline logs, including failed and human-assisted tasks
• keep task sections collapsible, add staged sync actions, and improve the assistance modal flow
• add model support for parallel-runnable task IDs and localized UI copy

Why

The previous dashboard made it hard to quickly launch independent tasks together and inspect active or failed work. The new flow emphasizes parallel execution while keeping dependencies and human-assisted steps clear.

Fix details

Icon-to-log navigation previously scrolled to the inline-log row, which could hide the selected task behind the persistent top bar. The task row is now the scroll anchor with the existing top-bar offset, while focus remains on the inline log.

Validation

• node --no-warnings --experimental-strip-types --test src/lib/automation/AutomationDashboard.check.ts
• node --no-warnings --experimental-strip-types --test src/lib/automation/server/page-model.check.ts
• npm run typecheck
• npm run build
• Electron CDP interaction verification for task icon navigation and inline logs

Prototype and QA artifacts are intentionally excluded from this PR.

Pull request overview

This PR redesigns the Automation dashboard to better support parallel task execution, staged workflow sections, and inline log navigation, while extending the desktop automation API/model to support batch starts and improved logging behavior.

Changes:

• Redesign AutomationDashboard UI into staged, collapsible sections with an inline log panel and active-task jump icons (plus refreshed credentials/history modals).
• Add batch execution support (runMany) and server-side helpers for concurrency limiting and batched log flushing.
• Extend the automation page model with parallelRunnableTaskIds and add new localized UI copy for the redesigned flows.
