Add Taskfile for unified dev workflow across all components (#6080)

## Add Taskfile for unified dev workflow

### Summary
- Introduces [Taskfile](https://taskfile.dev/) as the single CLI entry
point for all development workflows across backend, frontend, engine,
Docker, and desktop
- ~80 tasks organized into 6 namespaces: `backend:`, `frontend:`,
`engine:`, `docker:`, `desktop:`, plus root-level composites
- All CI workflows migrated to use Task
- Deletes `engine/Makefile` and `scripts/build-tauri-jlink.{sh,bat}` —
replaced by Task equivalents
- Removes redundant npm scripts (`dev`, `build`, `prep`, `lint`, `test`,
`typecheck:all`) from `package.json`
- Smart dependency caching: `sources`/`status`/`generates`
fingerprinting, CI-aware `npm ci` vs `npm install`, `run: once` for
parallel dep deduplication

### What this does NOT do
- Does not replace Gradle, npm, or Docker — Taskfile is a thin
orchestration wrapper
- Does not change application code or behavior

### Install
```
npm install -g @go-task/cli    # or: brew install go-task, winget install Task.Task
```

### Quick start
```
task --list       # discover all tasks
task install      # install all deps
task dev          # start backend + frontend
task dev:all      # also start AI engine
task test         # run all tests
task check        # quick quality gate (local dev)
task check:all    # full CI quality gate
```

### Test plan
- [ ] Install `task` CLI and run `task --list` — verify all tasks
display
- [ ] Run `task install` — verify frontend + engine deps install
- [ ] Run `task dev` — verify backend + frontend start, Ctrl+C exits
cleanly
- [ ] Run `task frontend:check` — verify typecheck + lint + test pass
- [ ] Run `task desktop:dev` — verify jlink builds are cached on second
run
- [ ] Verify CI passes on all workflows

# NOTE: --no-parallel is intentional here. Running the license-checking tasks in parallel has

# plugin/Gradle when multiple projects are evaluated concurrently). Disabling parallelism trades
# some build speed for more reliable license reports. If the underlying issues are resolved in
# future Gradle or plugin versions, this flag can be reconsidered.
