fix: remove duplicate task title constraint, improve delete handling and scrolling (#386)

- Remove duplicate title check from POST /api/tasks (closes #368)\n- Scope recurring tasks duplicate check by project_id\n- Fix task deletion error handling — show errors to user (closes #369)\n- Enable vertical scrolling on Kanban board (closes #376)\n- Refactor nodes route to use RPC via callOpenClawGateway\n- Handle read-only filesystem in gateway config registration\n- Add screenshot-drift CI workflow and guide\n- Docker compose: add host-gateway for reaching host gateway
