Enable task embed in daily brief

Daily briefs should be able to surface and display tasks inline — not just reference them. This makes the brief the single pane of glass for the day instead of requiring context-switching between views.

BOS-003

Add bidirectional task → project navigation

Tasks should link to their parent project (if one exists), and projects should show all associated tasks. Users should be able to navigate between them directly in the dashboard. Flag if tasks are currently siloed from projects.

BOS-002

Build daily brief repository in dashboard

Add a persistent daily briefs section to the BenOS dashboard. Briefs should be stored and retrievable — not ephemeral. This closes the gap between EA standups and having a running record of daily plans.
