FN-7306: rename task-detail Chat tab to Activity

Renames the existing task-detail activity surface while preserving the stable chat tab id.

- Move the Activity tab to the first task-detail position and make it the default for every task state.
- Keep `chat` as the compatibility tab id for modal callers, plugin APIs, and deep links.
- Update task-detail tests and add a patch changeset for the published CLI package.
