refactor(task-manager): implement task resilience and execution lifecycle improvements

Enhance the reliability and observability of the task execution engine
by introducing retry mechanisms, idempotency, and structured progress
tracking.

- Implement centralized retry logic with exponential backoff support
  in `JobLifecycle`.
- Add `retry_task` API endpoint and `TaskManager` method for manual
  task restarts.
- Introduce task idempotency using `_idempotency_key` to prevent
  duplicate executions.
- Add `retry_count`, `max_retries`, `last_error`, and `progress` fields
  to the `Task` model and ensure persistence via `TaskPersistenceService`.
- Upgrade `SchedulerService` to use differential synchronization with
  the persistent `SQLAlchemyJobStore` for better job durability.
- Implement structured heartbeat logging to support real-time progress
  updates.
- Update project documentation and ADRs to reflect the new plugin
  runtime and task resilience patterns.
- Add comprehensive unit and integration tests for the new task
  lifecycle features.
