Task work log, inline writing assistant, task editor sidebar layout

Backend:
- Migration 0021: task_logs table (FK → notes + users, CASCADE, indexed)
- models/task_log.py: SQLAlchemy model with to_dict()
- services/task_logs.py: CRUD with ownership checks, _UNSET sentinel for optional duration clear
- routes/task_logs.py: GET/POST/PATCH/DELETE /api/tasks/<id>/logs
- services/tools.py: log_work LLM tool (resolves task by title, creates log entry)
- services/generation_task.py: retry assist generation up to 3× on HTTP 500

Frontend:
- types/task.ts: TaskLog interface
- TaskLogSection.vue: chronological work log with date+time timestamps, duration badge, inline edit, autofocus
- InlineAssistPanel.vue: streaming preview + diff review rendered inline in editor column
- useAssist.ts: removed chatStore.chatReady gate; toast notifications for errors
- NoteEditorView.vue + TaskEditorView.vue: inline assist panel, aside restricted to idle state
- TaskEditorView.vue: two-column layout (editor+log left, metadata sidebar right), body defaults to Preview, sidebarOpen accordion for mobile
- editor-shared.css: .assist-active-hint style

 ## Last Updated
-2026-03-04 — Per-conversation streaming state + auto-new-chat on open.
+2026-03-05 — Task Work Log, writing assistant improvements, task editor UI overhaul.
 
-**Chat store refactor (`stores/chat.ts`):** Replaced 7 global stream refs (`streaming`, `streamingContent`, `streamingThinking`, `streamingToolCalls`, `streamingStatus`, `streamingPendingTool`, `lastContextMeta`) with a single `convStreams: Record<number, ConvStreamState>` map. Each conversation now tracks its own stream state independently. Public API is unchanged — the 7 names are now computed getters derived from the current conversation's slot. Added `isStreamingConv(id)` helper. Key behaviour changes: `message_count` is incremented by 2 immediately after POST 202 (not at `done`) so the cleanup watcher never deletes a conversation that is mid-generation; SSE reconnect retries now run regardless of which conversation is currently viewed (background streams persist); `error` toasts only shown when viewing that conversation; `deleteConversation` cleans up orphaned stream state.
+**Task Work Log (backend):** New `task_logs` table (migration `0021_add_task_logs.py`) with FK to `notes(id)` CASCADE and `users(id)` CASCADE, indexes on `task_id` and `user_id`. SQLAlchemy model `models/task_log.py`. Service `services/task_logs.py` with `create_log`, `list_logs`, `update_log` (uses `_UNSET` sentinel so `None` can explicitly clear `duration_minutes`), `delete_log` — all ownership-checked. Blueprint `routes/task_logs.py` registered in `app.py` at `/api/tasks/<task_id>/logs` (GET, POST, PATCH `/<log_id>`, DELETE `/<log_id>`). LLM tool `log_work` added to `_CORE_TOOLS` in `services/tools.py`: resolves task by title, calls `create_log`, returns `{success, log, task}`.
 
-**ChatView.vue:** Removed invalid write to `store.lastContextMeta` (now a read-only computed). Added `!store.isStreamingConv(newId)` guard to the `watch(convId)` fetch so navigating back to a generating conversation shows accumulated content without a stale refetch. Added `startNewConversation()` helper; opening `/chat` with no ID now automatically creates a new conversation and redirects to it (both on mount and when navigating to `/chat` from elsewhere). Deleting a conversation also auto-creates a new one.
+**Task Work Log (frontend):** `TaskLog` interface added to `frontend/src/types/task.ts`. `TaskLogSection.vue` component (props: `taskId`) — renders logs ASC with date+time timestamps (not just date, so multiple same-day entries are distinguishable), duration badge, inline edit (textarea + duration field + Save/Cancel), markdown rendering via `renderMarkdown`. New-entry textarea has `autofocus`. Integrated below TiptapEditor in `TaskEditorView.vue`.
 
-**Previous session (same date):** Keyboard navigation overhaul: `e` to edit on viewer pages; `/` to focus search bar; `c` to focus chat on home / navigate to chat elsewhere; `j`/`k` vim-style list navigation; `Enter` opens selected item; `a:focus-visible` focus-ring rule. Task cards route directly to `/tasks/:id` (edit view); `task-view` route removed; `TasksListView` `Enter` key updated accordingly. `TaskViewerView` sub-task list with progress bar and inline status cycling; `NoteViewerView` project/milestone/parent breadcrumb; Dashboard Active Projects, 50/50 layout, overflow fixes.
+**Writing assistant — reliability (Pass 1):** `services/generation_task.py` `run_assist_generation` now retries up to 3 times on HTTP 500, with `3s × attempt` delay and `buf.content_so_far` reset between attempts. `composables/useAssist.ts`: removed `chatStore.chatReady` gate from `canSubmit` (chat store no longer needed; Ollama errors surface via backend response); replaced with `useToastStore` for error toasts on SSE error events, catch blocks, and accept-conflict detection.
+
+**Writing assistant — inline UX (Pass 2):** New `InlineAssistPanel.vue` component renders streaming preview (animated pulse + live markdown) and diff review (monospace red/green diff or full-text toggle + Accept/Reject) directly in the editor column. The right-hand assist side panel now only shows the instruction input (idle state); streaming and review output moved inline. `.assist-active-hint` style added to `editor-shared.css`. Both `NoteEditorView.vue` and `TaskEditorView.vue` updated: `assistLabel` computed from the target section title, `InlineAssistPanel` rendered between MarkdownToolbar and TiptapEditor, aside restricted to idle/error states.
+
+**Task editor UI overhaul:** `TaskEditorView.vue` restructured into a two-column layout: left `.task-main` (Write/Preview tabs + MarkdownToolbar + InlineAssistPanel + TiptapEditor + TaskLogSection) and right `.task-sidebar` (280px, all metadata: status, priority, due date, project, milestone, parent task, sub-tasks, tags + suggest). Title remains full-width above both columns. Sidebar collapses to an accordion on `max-width: 720px` (toggle button hidden on desktop). `sidebarOpen` ref defaults to `true`. Body tab defaults to Preview (`showPreview = ref(true)`).
