feat(ui): deliver Social-Dense Agent Sessions Hub

This is our biggest UX pivot of the project. We abandoned the 'Page' model for a 'Command Workspace'.

Triumphs:
- Reclaimed 40% of previously wasted screen real-estate by moving to an auto-filling multi-column grid matrix.
- Built the 'Command Deck'—a high-density header that provides real-time agent presence monitoring at a glance.
- Implemented 'Social Post' cards that map technical protocols to human verbs (e.g., 'Falcon passed mission to Operative-B'), making the audit trail readable for humans.
- Engineered 'Silent Refresh' logic: the feed now appends new activity and comments smoothly without disruptive UI resets or scroll jumps.

Raw Honest Moment:
The original card-based social feed was a failure. It was beautiful in isolation but useless for actual supervision. We had to be honest about the horizontal bloat and rebuild the entire layout foundation from scratch using rem-based fluid units to satisfy the 'War Room' requirement.
