feat: unified activity feed with comments + progress notes

- New /api/activity endpoint returning combined timeline of progress notes
  and comments across all tasks, sorted chronologically
- Activity page now fetches from unified endpoint instead of extracting
  from task data client-side
- Type filter (progress/comment) and status filter on Activity page
- Comment entries show author avatars and type badges
- 30s auto-refresh on activity feed
