+Stop inadvertently pausing user-facing tasks during heartbeat-unresponsive
+recovery. Adds a `cascadeToTasks` option to `pauseAgent`/`resumeAgent`
+(default `true`) and passes `false` from `recoverUnresponsiveAgent` — the
+internal pause/resume cycle there is just to set
+`pauseReason="heartbeat-unresponsive"` on the agent and shouldn't toggle
+the user's task pause state.
+
+Also auto-clears `paused`/`pausedByAgentId` in `updateTask` when the agent
+that paused a task is unassigned (or replaced). Previously a task could be
+left orphaned-paused with no UI affordance to recover, since the
+`Pause/Unpause` action in `TaskDetailModal` is hidden whenever an agent is
+assigned.
