FN-6324: allow opted-in engineer backlog auto-claim

Engineer backlog auto-claim now respects an explicit opt-in while keeping the default executor-only behavior.

- Add engineerBacklogAutoClaim settings and runtime overrides for backlog pickup role checks.
- Update heartbeat auto-claim filtering, logs, and no-task prompt guidance for opted-in engineer agents.
- Cover executor/default engineer/opted-in engineer routing with core and heartbeat tests.
- Document the setting and record quarantined unrelated temp-root flakes seen during verification.

 Guardrails:
 - Only unpaused, unassigned, unchecked-out todo tasks with satisfied dependencies are considered
 - Claims are rejected for terminal/paused/owned/conflicting tasks
+- Implementation-task backlog pickup is executor-only by default. Engineer-role agents may opt in through project setting `engineerBacklogAutoClaim` or per-agent `runtimeConfig.engineerBacklogAutoClaim`; the per-agent value overrides the project default in both directions.
+- Explicit task routing/delegation is not affected by the backlog auto-claim opt-in gate.
 - Checkout safety is preserved (`checkout_conflict` paths are non-fatal skips)
 - On successful claim, the same heartbeat run switches into task-scoped execution (no nested run re-entry)
