fix(chat): deliver the person's time zone to chat agents (#20898)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - People talk to agents in chat, and agents create routines and other
scheduled work from that chat
> - Paperclip does not record the person's time zone, so a chat agent
cannot read "every weekday at nine" or "today" in the person's zone
> - The agent then saves schedules in UTC, and the person gets the work
at the wrong hour
> - This pull request saves the browser time zone with the person's
personal preferences and gives it to chat agents in the task prompt
> - The benefit is that schedules and dates from chat match the person's
local time

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

**What happened**
A person in America/Chicago wrote in chat: "Every weekday at nine in the
morning, summarize Launch for me." The agent saved the routine schedule
`0 9 * * 1-5` with the UTC time zone. It replied that it used UTC
because the person's time zone is not recorded.

**Expected behavior**
The agent knows the person's time zone. It saves one enabled `0 9 * *
1-5` schedule with the time zone America/Chicago. Its reply names the
zone.

**Steps to reproduce**
1. Open the board in a browser with the time zone America/Chicago.
2. Open a chat with an agent.
3. Send "Every weekday at nine in the morning, summarize Launch for me."
4. Look at the routine trigger that the agent creates. Its time zone is
UTC.

## What Changed

- Database: add the nullable `time_zone` column to
`user_workspace_preferences` (migration `0468`). This is an
instance-wide personal preference by user, as AGENTS.md section 5
permits.
- Shared: `WorkspacePreference` has `timeZone`.
`updateWorkspacePreferenceSchema` accepts an optional IANA `timeZone`
(max 64 characters, checked with `Intl.DateTimeFormat`).
`coordinatorWorkspaceEnabled` is now optional. The request must contain
at least one field.
- Server: the preference service returns `timeZone` and updates only the
fields in the request. The activity log entry stays the same. The
OpenAPI entry uses the shared schema.
- UI: a new `useBrowserTimeZoneSync` hook in `Layout` saves the browser
time zone one time when it is different from the saved zone. It is
silent and best-effort. It uses the selected company as the audit
context.
- Prompt: for a conversation (any adapter), the task context reads the
chat owner's saved zone. Recovery keeps the zone that the first turn
admitted. The chat block adds one line only when the zone is known:
`The person's time zone is America/Chicago (from their browser). Read
times and dates they give, such as "nine in the morning" or "today", in
that zone, and save schedules such as routine triggers with that
timezone; say the zone when you report a schedule.`

## Verification

- `cd server && npx vitest run
src/__tests__/workspace-preferences.test.ts
src/__tests__/workspace-preferences-routes.test.ts
src/services/heartbeat/task-markdown.test.ts
src/__tests__/heartbeat-task-context.test.ts
src/__tests__/openapi-routes.test.ts
src/services/native-runtime/runner-api.test.ts`
- `cd ui && npx vitest run src/hooks/useBrowserTimeZoneSync.test.tsx
src/hooks/useCoordinatorWorkspaceEnabled.test.tsx
src/components/Layout.test.tsx`
- Red/green: without the task-context and task-markdown changes, the two
new prompt tests fail. With the changes, they pass.
- `pnpm check:token-gates` is clean. `tsc --noEmit` passes for
`packages/shared` and `packages/db`.
- Manual: open the board in a browser with a non-UTC zone. Then ask a
chat agent to create a weekday routine at nine in the morning. The
trigger uses the browser zone.

## Risks

- Low risk. The migration adds one nullable column.
- The PUT body is now more flexible: `coordinatorWorkspaceEnabled` is
optional. An empty body still gets a 400 response.
- The prompt grows by one line only for conversations with a known zone.
- The saved zone changes when the person uses a browser in a different
zone. The latest browser wins.
