fix(panel): UI revamp — settings layout, journals/kanban scroll, agent item, projects

- Settings: cards reordered to User Info / Appearance / Data & Refresh /
  Transcript Retention / Notifications / Connection Info (the 3x2 grid)
- Journals: the page now fills the viewport; the agent list and the entry
  detail each scroll inside their own panel — removes the page + list +
  fixed-500px triple scrollbar (real layout, not bolted-on magic heights)
- Agent item: distinct per-team avatar with initials, clear selected/hover
  states, truncation, focus ring (was a generic icon repeated on every row)
- Kanban: the board fills the viewport and each column's card list scrolls
  inside it, so a full Done column no longer overflows down the page
- Projects: drop the misleading Workspace column — it read the legacy
  per-project workspace_path (never set in the per-agent workspace model), so
  it always showed 'No workspace'
