Add M2b plan: ten tasks, tests, recordings and the first system prompt

The tasks build the agent loop on M2a's client: channel messages and
the usage record in proto, four config tables, the tool port and
registry with find_tool and call_tool, the baseline and replay, the
session store, the turn loop with its limits and the append-only
property test, the channel server, loopd serve, bxctl chat, and the
device checks including a four-turn conversation with a restart.

Checked against a private reference implementation: the gate passes
after every task in order, the new suites pass under CPU load, and the
reference passes make verify-device on straylight with no cache loss.
