Teknium 2704e7b67e fix(kanban): restrict board routing tools to orchestrators
Adapted from PR #20568 commit ce3518578 (Eric Litovsky / @kallidean).
Adds two-tier gating for the kanban tool surface so dispatcher-spawned
workers see only task-lifecycle tools (show/complete/block/heartbeat/
comment/create/link) while orchestrator profiles with `toolsets: [kanban]`
also see board-routing tools (kanban_list, kanban_unblock).

Workers shouldn't be enumerating or unblocking the board — they should
close their own task via the lifecycle tools. Hiding board-routing tools
from worker schemas keeps the worker focused and the toolset-isolation
contract honest.

Plus inherited from the same upstream commit:
- 50/200 row bound on kanban_list with `truncated` + `next_limit` metadata.
- Belt-and-suspenders runtime guard `_require_orchestrator_tool()` inside
  the orchestrator handlers in case a stale registration ever routes a
  worker to one of them.
- Tests for the new gate, the stricter bound, and the fact that even a
  worker with `toolsets: [kanban]` in config still doesn't see board
  routing.
