88772b3278 fix(tasks): apply the admin-only action policy in manage_tasks (#6358)
POST /api/tasks and the scheduler both refuse action tasks whose action
is in ADMIN_ONLY_TASK_ACTIONS (run_local, run_script, ssh_command,
cookbook_serve) for owners without admin task privileges: those actions
reach subprocess.run(shell=True) or SSH with no sandbox. The model-facing
manage_tasks tool applied neither check, so an agent could create or edit
such a task, resume it, or trigger it, and only the scheduler's
execution-time guard stood in the way (pausing the task after the fact).

Route the tool through the same src.task_action_policy helpers the HTTP
route uses: create checks the requested type/action, edit checks the task
as it would be after the edit (so an llm task cannot be flipped into a
shell action), and resume/run check the stored task. Admins, non-
privileged actions and llm/research tasks are unaffected; pause still
works for everyone since it only narrows.

Fixes #6021

"""manage_tasks must apply the admin-only task-action policy.
``POST /api/tasks`` (routes/task/task_routes.py) and the scheduler
(src/task_scheduler.py) both refuse ``action`` tasks whose action is in
``ADMIN_ONLY_TASK_ACTIONS`` (run_local, run_script, ssh_command,
cookbook_serve) for owners without admin task privileges — those actions run
``subprocess.run(shell=True)`` or SSH with no sandbox. The model-facing
``do_manage_tasks`` applied neither check, so an agent could store such a task
on create/edit and resume/run it; the scheduler would only pause it at
execution time. Regression for issue #6021: the tool now enforces the same
policy on create, edit, resume and run, and keeps allowing admins and the
non-privileged actions.
