feat: add bidirectional comment system and agent input request flow

- Add Comment model and CRUD operations (repository, service layers)
- Add WAITING_FOR_INPUT task state for agent input requests
- Add WebSocket actions for comment.add, comment.get, comment.list
- Add ActionCommentAdded and ActionInputRequested notifications
- Update PromptAgent to return PromptResult with stop reason
- Add e2e test for agent input request flow
- Add PR template for the repository

This enables agents to request input from users by returning
stopReason 'needs_input' which transitions the task to
WAITING_FOR_INPUT state and creates an agent comment.
