Adds two new admin CLI commands for diagnosing and recovering from worker crashes (addresses #991): - `decommission-workers`: resets ALL processing tasks back to pending regardless of worker_id (unlike existing `decommission-worker` which requires knowing the dead worker's ID) - `worker-status`: shows all processing tasks grouped by worker with operation type, bank, runtime, and last update time

PR vectorize-io#1165 added two new admin CLI commands (decommission-workers, worker-status) but admin-cli.md was not updated. Readers scanning the Commands section could only find the singular decommission-worker. Added dedicated sections for each new command following the existing style (Arguments/Options/Examples/When to Use). Pure docs, mirrors behavior documented in typer command help strings.

* docs(admin-cli): document decommission-workers and worker-status PR #1165 added two new admin CLI commands (decommission-workers, worker-status) but admin-cli.md was not updated. Readers scanning the Commands section could only find the singular decommission-worker. Added dedicated sections for each new command following the existing style (Arguments/Options/Examples/When to Use). Pure docs, mirrors behavior documented in typer command help strings. * docs(admin-cli skill): sync decommission-workers and worker-status Mirror change from hindsight-docs/docs/developer/admin-cli.md so the docs skill reference stays in sync (matches the pattern set by #1137).
