DaveCode v0.2.0

First version validated end to end against a real (local, free) model: the autonomous runner
implemented, tested and merged a task on its own with qwen3:8b through Ollama.

Added

• davecode is a standalone npm package: @davecode/core and @davecode/server are bundled in
  and the dashboard ships inside dist/dashboard.

• Dashboard: New task and edit sheets (dependency multi-select that cannot pick the task itself or
  create a cycle), status actions (Start, Mark done, Mark failed, Reopen), Run now, confirmed delete,
  and a Routes editor (add, remove, rename, reorder targets, pin accounts, default route). Both work
  in mock mode.

• PUT /api/routes: replace the route list and default route. Persisted to the global
  config.json (other keys preserved, atomic, locked) and applied to the live engine config
  immediately (Engine.updateRouting, writeGlobalRouting).

• Task graph editing: POST /api/tasks, PATCH /api/tasks/:id and DELETE /api/tasks/:id
  through ProjectBrain (lock, validation, cycle paths in the cycle error, status
  transitions, has_dependents refusal), the task.removed event, optional write methods on
  BrainSource (501 brain_read_only without them) and ProjectBrain.createTask/removeTask.

• Targeted runs: runOnce({ taskId }) and start({ taskId }) on the autonomous runner,
  davecode run --task <id> (replacing the "can only confirm the runner's pick" check) and an
  optional { "taskId" } body on POST /api/runner/start. A task that cannot run is refused with
  task_not_found (404), task_not_runnable or task_blocked (409, naming the dependencies).

Fixed

• Client cancellations (closed connection, Esc in the TUI) no longer put the account in cooldown;
  they are recorded with the new cancelled usage status.
• The builtin executor rejects a finish without any file written (once per pass) and logs why
  a tool call failed.
• run_command accepts a whole command line such as node --test in command.
• write_file/edit_file repair double-escaped newlines sent by small models.
• /api/runner/* forwards RunnerError codes in 409 responses.
