feat: multi-level agent management — background agents, lifecycle tools, 3-level hierarchy

Browse Source 
agent_manager.py (new):
- AgentRecord dataclass: agent_id, level (1/2/3), role, task, status, started,
  parent_id (lineage), finished, result, notify, _task_ref
- register() / finish() / cancel_agent() / list_agents() / get() / set_task_ref()
- Calls notification.notify() on completion when notify=True (same channel as
  reminders and cron completions)
- 24-hour pruning of completed records on each new registration

spawn_agent (tools/agents.py):
- background=True: fires asyncio.create_task(), registers in agent_manager, returns
  agent_id string immediately — sync path unchanged (no regression)
- notify=True: push/Talk notification when the background task completes
- Level enforcement: _agent_level param tracks hierarchy depth; when spawning from
  Level 2, child automatically gets spawn_agent + aider_run denied so Level 3 agents
  cannot delegate further

New lifecycle tools (tools/agents.py + __init__.py):
- agent_status(agent_id) — status, role, level, elapsed, task, result preview; user-level
- agent_list(status, limit) — all agents for current user, newest first; user-level
- agent_cancel(agent_id) — kills background task; admin-only, confirm-required

tests/test_agent_manager.py (new, 41 tests):
- agent_manager CRUD, pruning, notification hook
- spawn_agent background: returns immediately, completes async, timeout, failure
- Level enforcement: L1→L2 permits spawn, L2→L3 auto-denies; explicit tool_list path
- agent_status / agent_list / agent_cancel output formatting
- aider_run background: returns agent_id, completes async, sync path unchanged
- All tests run without browser or Cortex service (~2.5s total)
  Run: cd cortex && .venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/test_agent_manager.py -v

Docs: ARCH__FUTURE.md §13 (full design), ROADMAP.md, TODO__Agents.md, MASTER.md,
HELP.md (orchestrator description corrected, tool schema line updated to reflect
keyword routing), CLAUDE.md tool count 66→69.

**65 orchestrator tools** across 17 domain modules — added 2026-05-12: `file_diff`, `git_status` / `git_log` / `git_diff` (read-only git inspection), `ae_db_query` / `ae_db_describe` / `ae_db_show_view` (SELECT-only Aether MariaDB access, admin, per-user credentials). `/settings/integrations` page added (admin-only). File attachments in chat (images for vision-capable local models; text/code files for all backends). Settings pages unified under `pg.css`. Added 2026-05-13: `task` cron type (full orchestrator loop on a schedule); monthly/yearly schedule formats (`monthly`, `monthly:DD:HH:MM`, `yearly:MM:DD:HH:MM`); Schedules web UI at `/settings/crons` (list, add, edit, pause, delete); HA inbound webhook tools toggle (orchestrator vs. direct LLM); Anthropic API key backend (`anthropic_api` model type via Anthropic SDK — alternative to CLI OAuth); Cloud APIs catalog in Model Registry — named provider picker (OpenRouter, OpenAI, Groq, X.ai/Grok, Together.ai, Fireworks.ai, Custom) with auto-filled URLs; hosts split into Cloud APIs / Local Hosts sections. Added 2026-05-15: Per-user custom roles — three required roles (`chat`, `orchestrator`, `distill`) are always present; users can add/remove custom roles (e.g. `coder`, `research`) via the Model Registry UI; existing `.env`-defined roles auto-migrated. Settings pages (`local_llm.html` + all settings pages) migrated to Tailwind CSS CDN (no build step); `preflight: false` preserves `pg.css` base styles; `input[type=checkbox/radio]` global width fix in `pg.css`; `btn-submit` now responsive (`w-full md:w-96`).
**69 orchestrator tools** across 17 domain modules — added 2026-06-03: `agent_status`/`agent_list` (user-level)/`agent_cancel` (admin, confirm-required); background mode for `spawn_agent` (`background=True` returns agent_id immediately; `notify=True` sends push on completion); `agent_manager.py` registry with lineage tracking and 24h pruning; L2→L3 level enforcement auto-denies `spawn_agent`/`aider_run` in Level 3 children. Added 2026-05-23: `aider_run` (Aider coding agent subprocess; project aliases for cortex/aether_api/aether_frontend/aether_container; model-agnostic via `.aider.conf.yml` or env vars; admin-only, confirm-required). `.aider.conf.yml` added to project root (read-only context, Python lint-cmd, auto-commits).
