feat(orchestrator): S5 Tasks with choices, Gantt, estimates and burn charts

Requirement 001 phase 6, S5:

- Tasks tab: every pending ask, rule request, operator row and choice
  card shows under "waits on Operator"; a choice request goes out on a
  fixed channel button, post and call with an agent multi-select, and a
  click on an option sends a passkey-signed answer the agent checks with
  operator_message. The unsigned /api/decisions/<id>/choose route is
  gone, and a decision, choice answer or choice recipient whose name
  holds "*" is refused, so a signed answer never reaches every agent.
- Gantt view: one bar per task from start to end (running to now), one
  arrow per explicit, branch-base and queue-order edge, hatched forecast
  bars (always, points only, real only) from the median duration or
  points times median hours per point.
- rasci.py set --after/--drop-after stores task dependencies and refuses
  unknown tasks and cycles.
- Estimation toggle (No estimate default, Story points) is stored in the
  hub settings; burndown and burnup per whole register, list filter or
  one agent or line, counting tasks or summing complexity with the
  unestimated tasks as their own line.
- New skill kvb-org-queue-estimate: "Request estimates" (story points
  mode, passkey-signed board action) or the skill sends exactly one
  newsletter listing every unestimated task with its RASCI parties; a
  party name that is no plain name shows as "unnamed party".
- Business value per task or in bulk is stored only with a verified
  passkey assertion over the exact ids and values; WSJF uses it instead
  of the median. The task list sorts by every decision-50 mode both ways.
- e2e: the walk's pending ask lives an hour instead of 60 s, and the
  CDP and BiDi drivers retry removing the browser profile while the
  browser exits (ENOTEMPTY).

Evidence: make test 709 OK, ruff and markdownlint clean
(/tmp/s5-make-test-fix-2.log); e2e 26 OK in Chromium and Firefox
(/tmp/s5-e2e-fix-2.log); MEDUSA 50 files, an independent skeptic
rejected four holes (unsigned choose route, unsigned estimates request,
free-text party names, "*" recipients incl. normalizer bypasses), all
fixed and re-verified, the 8 remaining pattern hits accepted, rescan 0
open.

 The Agents view "Hierarchy" draws the council's formal offices as a collapsible org chart: Operator, chair, dimensions with their line representatives, organisers (`cluster/<slug>`) and presidents (`work/<slug>`); the chair in every graph is the holder of the `chair` office, not a fixed name. Appointing, handing over or recalling an office there asks for the passkey signature; the hub writes a job (office, signed holder, successor session, work; no command) into `~/.local/state/kvb-orchestrator/offices/jobs`, and the `kvb-orchestrator-offices.path` user unit runs `client/offices.py` on the host, which verifies the signature, refuses a council directory others can write, a link on the path or a holder that changed since the signature. For a takeover or recall it moves the office aside and removes it only while the claim there still names the signed holder; an appoint or takeover then runs a plain `council.py claim <office>` for the successor by argv. council.py itself has no flag that overrides a live holder. The same view holds the operator's agent order as a drag list with up and down buttons: `rasci.py agents order` stores it in `agent-order.json` beside the register, where it breaks ties of equal task priority and orders the chair's grants without touching any task's `--prio` pin.
 
-The Tasks tab (key 4, `#tasks/list`, `#tasks/board`, `#tasks/rasci`) shows the `kvb-org-rasci` register as a list, a board by status and a RASCI matrix; queue jobs from `council/queue.json` appear as "waiting for a grant", and the filter "Waiting for operator" is the inbox, which the Inbox entry under Stream opens. A task's sheet pins its priority (`rasci.py set <task> --prio <n>`) or sets and drops the operator's WSJF estimate (`rasci.py estimate <task> Operator --value <fib> --complexity <fib>` or `--drop`) after a passkey signature; the hub writes an argv-only job, and the runner, started with `--rasci <rasci.py> --council <council root>`, verifies it like an operator command and runs `rasci.py` from `/` without a shell, killing it after 30 s. Agent order stays untouched. The install copies the fresh runner unit and restarts the runner when it is enabled, and only while the installed `council.py`, `nofollow.py` and `rasci.py` match this tree: otherwise it disables the runner and asks for `make install`. The runner unit pins `PATH` to `/usr/bin:/bin`, so a signed command names any other program by its full path; a runner started without `--rasci` and `--council` keeps running signed commands and refuses task changes, and so does one whose council is a symlink or another uid's. Each worktree in the tree file may carry `"flow": {"pull": [...], "push": [...], "source": "file"}` or `null`, which the Tree, the Chord edges, the detail panel and the matching task show; a malformed flow shows as `invalid`. Worktrees and tasks with open work (uncommitted, unpushed, unmerged, task not done) carry a warning bar.
+The Tasks tab (key 4, `#tasks/list`, `#tasks/board`, `#tasks/rasci`) shows the `kvb-org-rasci` register as a list, a board by status and a RASCI matrix; queue jobs from `council/queue.json` appear as "waiting for a grant", and the filter "Waits on Operator" is the inbox, which the Inbox entry under Stream opens: every pending review, ask, rule request, operator row and choice card, with no Choices column of its own. "Request choices" has one button per channel, post and call to the agents ticked under "Agents", newsletter, broadcast, pan-pan, Sécurité and mayday to all, that sends the fixed request "send me your open decisions as choices" without a text field, one passkey assertion over every recipient (`/api/choices/sign`, then `/api/choices`). Agents answer with `decision_request`, shown as choice cards, and a click on an option is the passkey-signed answer: after the 3 s undo the hub verifies the signature and posts the answer to the asking agent, whose `decision_wait` returns it as `message` and `answer` for `operator_message`. A task's sheet pins its priority (`rasci.py set <task> --prio <n>`) or sets and drops the operator's WSJF estimate (`rasci.py estimate <task> Operator --value <fib> --complexity <fib>` or `--drop`) after a passkey signature; the hub writes an argv-only job, and the runner, started with `--rasci <rasci.py> --council <council root>`, verifies it like an operator command and runs `rasci.py` from `/` without a shell, killing it after 30 s.

Worktrees and tasks with open work (uncommitted, unpushed, unmerged, task not done) carry a warning bar.
 
 Without reinstalling the skills, `make orchestrator-install` installs, builds and starts only the hub, `make orchestrator-check` checks the installed hub (image, container, logs, HTTP, pinned keys, hook, runner, tree timer, disk; exit 1 on a failure), `make orchestrator-pin CREDENTIAL=<blob>` pins the passkey that "Register passkey" shows, `make orchestrator-runner` enables the runner service, and `make orchestrator-hook` registers the PermissionRequest hook in `~/.claude/settings.json`, replacing an earlier Agent Orchestrator entry and keeping the file mode, after a copy to `settings.json.before-kvb-orchestrator-hook` (Claude Code reads `~/.claude/settings.local.json` only in sessions started in the home directory). Agents that reach the Docker socket are root-equivalent: until the agent VMs of core requirement 093 isolate them, the signatures do not hold against such an agent. `make watch-check` shows whether the resource watch hook is stuck (running hooks, holders of the kept queue history, age of the stored stage).
 
-For approvals the hub is only a relay: every approval of an ask, a staged commit or an operator command is signed end to end with a WebAuthn passkey held in KeePassXC (through KeePassXC-Browser, relying party `localhost`, origin `http://localhost:<port>`; ES256, EdDSA and RS256, so a hardware key can be pinned beside it). To register, open the hub at `http://localhost:<port>/` (WebAuthn needs the domain; on `127.0.0.1` the page links there), choose "Register passkey" in the settings and run the host command the page shows, `python3 ~/.local/share/kvb-orchestrator/client/approval.py pin --port <port> --approvers ~/.config/kvb-orchestrator/approvers.json --credential '<blob>'`, in a terminal outside every sandbox: it pins the key in `~/.config/kvb-orchestrator/approvers.json` with mode 0600, a file no sandboxed agent can write and the hub mounts read-only; the hub never pins. Each approval, or one bulk selection, is one signature over the hashes of every item, a nonce and an expiry; each auto-approval rule is signed once. In the inbox, an operator command run with "Run" shows the runner's output in a console under its row until "Close". "Deny" on an ask, an operator row or a rule request signs the denial with its channel and optional reason (a hash no approval shares) and, after the 3 s undo, tells the requesting agent by post or by the radio class picked, never mayday; the hub verifies that signature against the pinned keys before it stores or sends anything, the hook passes the reason on only when it verifies the signature too, and a denied operator row ends as `stopped`. Agents ask for an auto-approval rule with the MCP tool `rule_request` (the rules form's limits; a request stays open for the ask lifetime of one hour, at most 20 in all, and 3 per agent name, which only spreads the queue since MCP names no caller); its row shows a dry run over the last 7 days, and only "Accept" with the passkey stores it. The hub stores no rule, of any kind, whose passkey assertion it cannot verify. The executors verify it themselves against the pinned keys and fail closed: the runner (`client/runner.py`, the `kvb-orchestrator-runner` user service) runs only signed commands, each signature once, recorded in `~/.local/state/kvb-orchestrator-approvals/runner.json`; the PermissionRequest hook (`client/permission_hook.py --port <port> --timeout <seconds> --approvers ~/.config/kvb-orchestrator/approvers.json --replay ~/.local/state/kvb-orchestrator-approvals/hook.json`) allows only a signed item that matches its own tool, command, cwd and session, else it leaves the decision to Claude Code's own prompt; the commit skills run `approval.py verify` on the staged tree before committing, else they ask in the terminal. With no key pinned, every executor refuses; decisions and review rejections stay unsigned. A signed rule never covers a command holding `;`, `&`, `|`, a backtick, `$`, `<`, `>`, parentheses or a line break: such a command always asks. The hub page is trusted while it asks for a signature or shows the blob to pin: whoever controls the hub container can show one item and have another signed, or hand over a key of its own. Any local process, sandboxed agents included, can also send the unsigned operator actions (decision choices, the priority order, settings that add no stream origin, review rejections, the bare ask denial `/api/asks/<id>/deny`, console dismissals) with the hub's guard headers, and the container reads the host `/tmp` for the review pages in `/tmp/kvb-git-diff`. All three close with the agent VMs of core requirement 093, like the Docker-socket gap.

+description: >
+  Ask all agents once to estimate the unestimated tasks.
+---
+
+One newsletter asks every agent holding a RASCI role (R, A, S, C or I) in an
+open task of the `kvb-org-rasci` register that carries no complexity yet to
+record its business value and complexity (Fibonacci) with `rasci.py
+estimate`. The Agent Orchestrator's "Request estimates" button, shown in
+story points mode, runs the same script. It sends only when invoked, never
+by itself, to save tokens.
+
+```bash
+python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/estimate.py show
+python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/estimate.py request [--session <id>]
+```
+
+## Rules
+
+- `show` prints the newsletter and sends nothing; `request` sends exactly one
+  newsletter, or none while every open task carries a complexity.
+- Each agent answers with its own `rasci.py estimate <task> "<you>" --value
+  <fib> --complexity <fib>`, never for another party.
