fix(kanban): reject direct running transitions in dashboard bulk updates

Salvages #24050 by @kronexoi. The single-task PATCH already rejects
direct status='running' since it bypasses the dispatcher/claim invariant,
but the bulk-update endpoint still accepted it. Aligns bulk with single
by emitting an error result row for any 'running' entry.
