fix(ui): hide task row retry status labels (#18017)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work.
> - Task lists and the inbox help people scan their work.
> - Shared task rows show system interruption messages beside task
titles.
> - These messages add detail that the person cannot act on from the
row.
> - This pull request removes the three system interruption labels from
those rows.
> - People can still open the task to inspect progress and use Retry.

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Refs #16965, which introduced these labels. Related recovery report:
#17386. This change only removes row text and does not resolve that
report's retry behavior.

**What existing behavior does this improve?**

The shared task rows in task lists and the inbox.

**Current behavior**

Rows show “Retry available,” “Thinking,” or “Trying again soon” beside
the title for unresolved system interruptions.

**Proposed behavior**

Omit all three labels from shared task rows. Keep the existing
system-interruption guard so the row does not show a legacy recovery
chip in their place. Keep task status, other badges, and retry controls
inside the task.

**Reason and benefit**

People can scan task titles with less incidental execution text.

**Breaking changes**

The three row labels disappear. APIs, recovery behavior, and task
conversation controls stay the same.

## What Changed

- Remove the system interruption text from every shared task-row
presentation.
- Cover working, scheduled-retry, and failed interruptions in both row
presentations, including a legacy recovery action that must stay hidden.
- Record the expected row behavior and verification states in the task
feature map.

## Verification

- Passed: token gates, feature-map contract and reference checks, and
Git diff whitespace checks.
- Passed: 83 component tests in `IssueRow.test.tsx` and
`Inbox.test.tsx`, including the new regression cases; full `pnpm -r
typecheck`; full `pnpm build`.
- The full local `pnpm test:run` was attempted and stopped after 16
database-dependent failures. An independent disposable `initdb`
reproduced `FATAL: could not create semaphores: No space left on
device`. The host has exhausted its macOS System V semaphore capacity.
All required CI test lanes passed on the final commit and provide full
database-suite coverage. An earlier attempt also found an unbuilt plugin
SDK; building that existing dependency repaired collection before this
database failure.
- Review the working, scheduled-retry, and failed interruption branches.
Each returns no system label. The existing guard still suppresses legacy
recovery chips.
- Independent source review found no actionable code issues. Regression
cases check title navigation, removal of the three labels, and
suppression of replacement recovery chips.
- All required CI gates passed on commit
`dd1d7b08dbba8a10a95c5d24c4aea64479befe95`: typecheck, general and
serialized tests, browser suites, build, canary, and Runner checks.
- Greptile reviewed that commit at 5/5 with no open findings. The
optional Paperclip review also returned 5/5 with no findings; its check
status is neutral.

## Risks

- Low risk. This removes row text only. Task status, recovery records,
other badges, and task-level retry actions keep their current behavior.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex, GPT-6 family. This session does not expose an exact model
ID or context-window size. The assistant used reasoning, shell tools,
and subagents for source review and validation.

Automated: [task-list helpers](../../ui/src/pages/Issues.test.tsx) cover search URLs, pagination, deduplication, and presentation constants. The suite does not render the page or exercise filtering, grouping, opening a task, and returning; those interactions still need a running-browser check.
Task and inbox rows omit the system interruption labels **Thinking**, **Trying again soon**, and **Retry available**. [Shared row tests](../../ui/src/components/IssueRow.test.tsx) cover working, scheduled-retry, and failed interruptions in both row presentations, including suppression of replacement recovery chips.

Manual: Seed human-created, agent-created, scheduled routine, human-initiated chat-channel, and creator-less tasks. Confirm automation is hidden by default, **show agent-created tasks** reveals it, reload preserves the choice, and Clear filters hides it again. Verify list and board search with automation newer than the human results, and expand contextual ancestors/subtasks without promoting unrelated automated roots. Repeat in project task lists. Agent profiles and task-detail subtasks retain complete history.
Manual: Filter by status and assignee, change grouping/sort, open a task, and return. Verify the correct records and selected view survive navigation and reload. Include an empty result and a failed request.
