fix: clear-search restores board and enable partial-match search

- useTasks debounced effect bailed when searchQuery transitioned back to
  undefined (App passes `searchQuery || undefined`), so clearing the
  input never refetched the unfiltered list. Track previous value via
  ref and only skip the initial mount.
- FTS5 search used bare tokens (exact term match), so "frob" did not
  match "frobnicator". Append `*` to each token (and to quoted tokens)
  for prefix matching. LIKE fallback already did substring matching.
