feat: add lightweight request tracing for debugging

Adds JSON-based tracing system for local development that captures
the full request flow through Tatlock's multi-agent architecture.

- Trace/Span dataclasses with automatic timing and nesting
- Context-var based propagation for async-safe tracing
- trace_span async context manager for clean instrumentation
- Traces written to logs/traces/{trace_id}.json
- REST API for listing and retrieving traces (/traces)
- Standalone HTML viewer with timeline visualization

Enabled via DEBUG=true environment variable.

Lightweight request tracing for local development.
Captures the full request flow through Tatlock's multi-agent architecture
