feat(KB-279): add AI-powered async title generation for tasks

- Add async generateTitle() using AI to create concise task titles from descriptions\n- Update createTask() to generate titles asynchronously when not provided\n- Add dynamic import pattern for @kb/engine to enable testability\n- Update store tests with comprehensive coverage for AI title generation\n- Add changeset for the title generation fix
