fix: resolve 6 dashboard bugs and rebuild Task Queue + Work Orders (#144) (#144)

Round 2+3 bug fix batch: 1. Ollama timeout: Add request_timeout=300 to prevent socket read errors on complex 30-60s prompts (production crash fix) 2. Memory API: Create missing HTMX partial templates (memory_facts.html, memory_results.html) so Save/Search buttons work 3. CALM page: Add create_tables() call so SQLAlchemy tables exist on first request (was returning HTTP 500) 4. Task Queue: Full SQLite-backed rebuild with CRUD endpoints, HTMX partials, and action buttons (approve/veto/pause/cancel/retry) 5. Work Orders: Full SQLite-backed rebuild with submit/approve/reject/ execute pipeline and HTMX polling partials 6. Memory READ tool: Add memory_read function so Timmy stops calling read_file when trying to recall stored facts Also: Close GitHub issues #115, #114, #112, #110 as won't-fix. Comment on #107 confirming prune_memories() already wired to startup. Tests: 33 new tests across 4 test files, all passing. Full suite: 1155 passed, 2 pre-existing failures (hands_shell).
