feat(agent-cases): tag agent-spawned case dirs and sweep their leftovers

A long orchestration creates one case directory per worker and deleting the
sessions never removed them, so ~/codeman-cases accumulated scratch folders
that were indistinguishable from real projects. They are now labelled and
have a cleanup path.

- src/agent-case-marker.ts: a case dir quick-start CREATES for an agent-driven
  spawn gets a .codeman-agent-case.json marker (when, by whom, parent session,
  mode). Only the create branch writes it, so a linked case, a cloned repo or
  any pre-existing path is never labelled; reading is total, so a malformed
  marker means "not agent-created" rather than a half-trusted entry.
- The signal is the new X-Codeman-Agent-Origin header the skill preamble sets
  on its shared curl (preamble bumped to 1.22.0), or an agentOrigin body
  field, falling back to a resolved parentSessionId so a worker spawned by a
  stale skill copy is still labelled.
- GET /api/cases publishes it as agentCreated; GET /api/cases/agent-created is
  a read-only cleanup listing adding inUse and modifiedAt; Add Case -> Manage
  badges each case and offers a review-then-delete sweep that names every
  directory in its confirm and skips any case a live session is working in.
  Removal stays on the existing DELETE /api/cases/:name.
- Agent preamble caches are collected too: ~/.cache/codeman-agent-<id>.sh was
  written per claude session and never removed (236 leftovers measured on a
  working machine). Now deleted with the session and swept at boot, guarded by
  a live-session keep set plus a 7-day age floor.

Verified end to end on an isolated instance: marker written for header, body
and lineage-only spawns, absent with no agent signal and for a pre-existing
directory; inUse flipping on session end; badge, sticky bar, confirm and sweep
driven in a browser; preamble seeded on create, removed on delete, boot sweep
taking only the aged orphans.

⚠️ A case directory quick-start **creates** for you is labelled agent-created (a
`.codeman-agent-case.json` marker, written because the §0 preamble sends
`X-Codeman-Agent-Origin`), which is what lets the user find it afterwards:
`GET /api/v1/cases/agent-created` returns `.data.cases[]` of
`{name, path, createdAt, createdBy, parentSessionId, inUse, modifiedAt}`, newest first,
read-only, scoped to the caller's own case space. Report it when you finish; deleting is
`DELETE /api/v1/cases/:name` and is the user's call by name ([§5.14](verbs.md#514-clean-up)).
A directory that already existed is never labelled.
⚠️ `caseName` resolves through the linked-cases registry first, so a name that happens
to match a case the user linked in lands in that **real repo**, not a fresh scratch
directory. Pick distinctive scratch names, and use a linked name deliberately when you
