feat(observe): surface delegation + A2A in the live world feed via audit poll

Edge-initiated inter-agent events (gated delegation, A2A ingress) bypass the
run loop, so the world SSE now polls the append-only audit log (cursor on the
BIGINT id, seeded to max on first pass) and emits:
  - delegation.invoked -> agent.delegate {fromAgentId,toAgentId,toName,task}
  - a2a.invoked        -> a2a.invoked   {agentId}
TeamObserver renders agent.delegate as an A->B handoff in the team timeline;
adds the agent.delegate taxonomy type. Reliable live (the synthesized-run path
never streamed — active_runs + first-sight cursor jump skip it).
