feat(KB-247): add subtask breakdown dialog for AI-assisted task creation

- Add backend subtask breakdown session management and API endpoints
- Create SubtaskBreakdownModal component for generating AI-suggested subtasks
- Integrate subtask breakdown into QuickEntryBox and NewTaskModal flows
- Add frontend API client functions for breakdown sessions and subtask creation
- Add tests for SubtaskBreakdownModal and backend routes
- Create changeset documenting the subtask breakdown feature

Analyze the user's task description and break it down into 2-5 smaller, independently executable subtasks.

2. Description (1-2 sentences, implementation-focused)
3. Size estimate (S: <2h, M: 2-4h, L: 4-8h)
4. Dependencies (which other subtask IDs must be completed first)
Guidelines:
- Prefer parallelizable subtasks when possible
- Only add dependencies when truly required
- Order subtasks so prerequisites appear earlier
- Keep the overall scope aligned with the original task
- Use IDs like "subtask-1", "subtask-2", etc.
