feat(webui): workflow-event and conversation timeline model (Closes #637)

Phase 1 child of the Web Console epic #631. Adds a durable, versioned
WorkflowEvent schema with per-source adapters and a read-only query API so
operators can browse a unified timeline of workflow events, decisions, tool
calls, and handoffs instead of scattered evidence.

- webui/timeline.py (new): versioned WorkflowEvent schema; control-plane
  event adapter and Gitea CTH handoff-comment adapter; read-only mode=ro
  control-plane reader; conjunctive filter by issue/PR/session; stable
  (timestamp, source_rank, event_key) ordering; bounded pagination;
  fail-soft per-source status; redaction at the boundary, fail closed.
- webui/app.py: GET /api/v1/timeline read-only route with thread-scoped,
  fail-soft handoff comment source.
- tests/test_webui_timeline.py (new): schema, adapters, redaction of
  secret-like payloads, filter/sort/pagination, scoped CP reader,
  fail-soft composition, and API integration.
- docs/webui-local-dev.md: timeline route and field-authority notes.

Read-only Phase 1; no mutation of historical events; no full chat replay;
no unredacted tool-argument storage.

"""Workflow-event and conversation timeline model (#637, Phase 1).
Operators cannot browse a unified timeline of workflow events, decisions,
tool calls, and handoffs: the evidence is scattered across control-plane
events, Gitea canonical handoff comments, and local logs. This module defines
one durable, versioned event schema and per-source adapters that normalise
those scattered records into a single ``WorkflowEvent`` stream, plus a
read-only query layer (filter by issue / PR / session, stable ordering,
pagination) that the ``/api/v1/timeline`` route serves.
Design rules honoured here:
- **Read-only.** Sources are read; nothing is mutated. The control-plane
database is opened through a ``mode=ro`` URI so a missing or unwritable DB
degrades to a reason instead of creating directories or running migrations.
- **Fail-soft per source.** An unavailable source degrades to a status with a
reason rather than raising, and a source that could not run is never
rendered as an empty-and-healthy timeline.
- **Redaction at the boundary, fail closed.** Every free-text field (event
messages, redacted tool arguments, decision/proof text) is run through the
console redaction policy before it leaves this module. An unredactable value
becomes the placeholder — an unredacted payload is never emitted, and a
generation error never drops raw data to a caller or a log.
- **Stable ordering.** Events sort by ``(timestamp, source_rank, event_key)``
with a deterministic tiebreak, so pagination is stable across calls and
events with equal or missing timestamps keep a fixed order.
Non-goals (from the issue): no full chat replay, no mutation of historical
events, no unredacted tool-argument storage.
