Show task, active project and workspace per control board row (#1503)

Gate A fix asked by the professor session on Jason's behalf. Each row
now carries three derived fields, shown as "unknown" when the log and
tmux do not hold them:

- task: the session's first user message (pi logs have no task envelope)
- workspace: the live pane path of the pane running pi, else session cwd
- activeProject: basename of the nearest git checkout above the workspace

tmuxInspect replaces the bare liveness call in the CLI and returns
{ alive, workspace }; tmuxIsAlive stays as a wrapper. The grouping column
and seen.json keys are unchanged. Fixture test per field, tmux parse
tests, page test; missing launcher signals are recorded in the plan page.
