refactor: break up _gather_system_snapshot() into focused helpers

Extract 5 helpers from the 86-line method:
- _snapshot_time() — local clock formatting
- _snapshot_thought_count() — today's thought count query
- _snapshot_chat_activity() — recent chat lines
- _snapshot_task_queue() — task queue summary
- _snapshot_workspace() — workspace update lines

Each helper is independently error-handled, keeping the same
graceful-degradation guarantees.

Fixes #540
