5d8ede446f feat(agents): lower default agent parallelism from 24 to 10 (#3038 )

## What

One-line default change: `DEFAULT_AGENT_PARALLELISM` 24 → 10
(`desktop/src-tauri/src/managed_agents/types.rs`), requested by Tyler in
[buzz-generic-acp-harnesses](buzz://message?channel=d6d84fdc-47fe-4e41-acf5-a08a4a013e6b&id=a047ead3a34ba804c376bf79f29e355d304162a88c7b2a7121e092547c572022).

## Why

Each unit of parallelism is a **full agent subprocess** per agent ×
community pair, spawned eagerly and serially at create/start before the
harness connects to the relay:

- At 24, a desktop with a few dozen agent×community pairs carries >1,000
potential idle subprocesses.
- Slow-starting harnesses (OpenClaw measured at 4–10s per worker) take
minutes to create, and messages sent during that window can be
permanently missed (the startup watermark is captured only after eager
pool init).
- Parallelism is per-channel concurrency — a channel never uses more
than one worker — so 10 still covers concurrent-channel fan-out for
typical agents.

Context: verified RCA + live 1-worker/3-mention experiment in the same
thread. Demand-driven pool growth (seed 1, grow on contention up to the
cap) is agreed as a follow-up; this is the interim risk reduction.

## Scope / blast radius

- Existing agent records keep their persisted `parallelism` value — only
new records and unset defaults change.
- Per-agent override unchanged (1..=32 via agent editor /
`BUZZ_ACP_AGENTS`).
- Readers of the constant (`team_snapshot`, `personas/snapshot/import`,
`commands/agents` mint path) all take the new default transitively; no
other code pins 24.
- `activeAgentTurnsStore.test.mjs` comments updated so the 24-turn
eviction case is framed against the harness cap (32) instead of the
default — coverage unchanged, no assertion touched.

## Verification

At 63bb0c1c4, same shell: desktop Rust `cargo test --lib` 1693/0 (14
ignored) · JS suite 3523/3523 · tsc clean · biome clean on touched file
· cargo fmt clean.
