Implementation: Add Status Reason to Task Display

Summary

Added status_reason property to Task model providing human-readable explanations for each task state, exposed it in API responses, displayed it prominently in the detail panel and on task cards. Fixed the pending review count to exclude terminal-state tasks. Replaced approve/request-changes buttons with revoke buttons when a review is already submitted.

Changes

  • automaton/dashboard/core/task.py: Added status_reason property on Task with explanations for all 10+ task states
  • automaton/dashboard/ui/app.py: Added status_reason to _serve_tasks() and _serve_task() JSON responses; accepted "pending" as valid review status
  • automaton/dashboard/html/dashboard.js: Displayed status_reason in detail panel and on task cards; fixed pending count to exclude done/blocked; added conditional button rendering for approved/changes_requested reviews
  • automaton/dashboard/html/styles.css: Added .detail-status-reason and .task-card-reason styles
  • tests/test_task.py: Added TestStatusReason class with 5 tests covering done, blocked, and in-progress states
