The app-scoped Tasks tab never sorted. It rendered straight from
tasksManager.tasks and relied on loadTasks() having ordered it, so any path that
appends after the load — a task arriving from the event bus, a retry, a queue
merge — put that task wherever it happened to land rather than at the top. Sort
where the list is rendered instead of trusting it from three callers away.
Honest note on the reported symptom: a list_users task appearing mid-list could
not be reproduced from the stored records — replaying the sort over all 96 task
files puts the newest tool tasks first. What is demonstrably wrong is the
missing sort above, and a second latent fault it would mask: 8 of those 96
records carry a null createdAt (cron-created backups), and `new Date(null)` is
the epoch, so they sort as if from 1970 rather than as unknown.
Adds window.taskSortTime for that: createdAt when it parses, otherwise the
timestamp already embedded in the task id — the WebUI mints
task_<epoch_ms>_<rand> and the backend task_<epoch_s>_<hex>, distinguishable by
digit count. All three sorts now use it, so the global list, the app list and
the loader agree.
The filter bar is client-side over the already-loaded per-app array, so it is
instant and needs no reload: status chips (built from the statuses actually
present, with counts, so a chip can never return zero) plus a search over the
command and the task id — the id being what a deep link and a log URL both
carry, so pasting one finds it.
