```
tasks: fix relative --repo, early report race and stale workspaces after finish (#28)

* tasks: task.start resolves the repo path and exists before its worker

`task start --repo .` failed with "cannot resolve base_ref 'HEAD'": the
server resolved the relative path against its own cwd. The CLI now makes
--repo and --path absolute before sending them, and the server rejects a
relative repo with BAD_PARAMS, as it already did for path.

A worker that ran `signaltty report` right away got NO_SUCH_TASK: the
task entered the store only after its pane had spawned. It is now
committed before the spawn and gets its pane id afterwards; a spawn
failure fails the stored task as before. The response carries the stored
task, so an early report is not overwritten.

* tasks: finish closes the workspaces of the removed worktree

After task.finish removed a worktree, the task's workspace stayed in the
list with a cwd that no longer existed. Once the checkout is gone, the
workspaces rooted at it now close with their panes, on every finish
path (discard, merge and the cleanup retry). A checkout that survives
keeps its workspace.

* server: preserve workspaces with live panes outside removed task worktrees
