Fix: Kontask Cards Render Immediately

Problem

When a kontask was created early in a turn (before turn_end), the card never appeared in the console. This caused:

  • OUTPUT kontasks invisible until the turn finished
  • Implementation plan kontasks appearing "approved" because the turn continued without the user seeing the card to approve/reject

Root Cause

The kontask_ready WebSocket notification was defined but never called. Kontask cards only rendered when:

// turn_end message received
case 'turn_end':
  checkForNewKontask().then(...); // Only here!

Solution

1. Server-side (router.ts)

When an OUTPUT kontask is created during an active turn, immediately send kontask_ready with the full HTML output.

2. Server-side (console-websocket.ts)

Enhanced notifyKontaskReady() to include output HTML, choices, and plan context.

3. Client-side (console-websocket-client.ts)

Enhanced kontask_ready handler to render the card immediately, not just refresh the sidebar.

4. Client-side (console-recovery.ts)

Fixed checkForNewKontask() to return true if kontask already rendered (avoids incorrect polling).

Data Flow (After Fix)

// When kontask is created during turn:
Claude calls konui_create_task()
    ↓
router.ts creates kontask
    ↓
NEW: consoleWebSocket.notifyKontaskReady()
    ↓
WebSocket sends kontask_ready with HTML
    ↓
NEW: Client renders card immediately
    ↓
(Turn continues, user can see/interact with card)
