Activity feed: drop busyChats — dock is background processes only (user decision 2026-09-11)

  * THE ACTIVITY FEED (2026-09 observability design): the bottom-right dock is

  * sub-agent jobs across ALL chats (not just the open one) plus the global
- * extraction runs — in one poll. /api/jobs stays chat-scoped untouched: it
- * is the transcript machinery's poll and carries turnInFlight for the
- * re-attach seam (chat-transport); the dock is a different consumer with a
- * different shape, served here. Single sources of truth are unchanged: the
- * job store, the pipeline registry, the turn-liveness registry — this file
- * only composes them.
+ * extraction runs — in one poll. The dock is BACKGROUND PROCESSES ONLY
