fix(mcp): make get_note / get_task share-aware
The injected menu tells the agent to open any hit with get_note(id), and
that menu can list a collaborator's record reached through a shared
project. The fetch was still owner-only, so those lines answered
"not found" — for a record the same user opens fine in the browser.
The agent path was strictly narrower than the web path for the same id.

Same boundary miss as #2093: the list side was widened for sharing, the
fetch side wasn't. Both tools now resolve through get_note_for_user,
apply the trash filter themselves (permission resolution says nothing
about liveness), and attach describe_provenance so a shared record
arrives marked as someone else's rather than passing as the caller's.

routes/tasks.py's parent-title lookup had the same narrowness: a shared
subtask rendered as an orphan when its parent was equally shared.

Four fetch tests across three files were patching notes_svc.get_note and
had to be retargeted — note 2109's third sub-case, caught by grepping
tests/ for the old name before pushing rather than by CI (#2159).

"""Task CRUD MCP tools.
Tasks are notes with a non-null `status` — same model, different filter.
Wrappers call services/notes.py for CRUD with is_task=True and add the
task-specific fields (status, priority, due_date, parent_id), plus
services/task_logs.py for add_task_log.
There is no delete_task — matches the existing fable-mcp surface.
Cancel by updating status to "cancelled".
Sentinels (preserved from existing fable-mcp):
- status="" / priority="" / title="" / body="" → "leave unchanged" on update
- status="todo" is the default on create (creates a task; non-null status is
what makes a Note a Task)
- priority="none" sets explicit no-priority; priority="" is "leave unchanged"
- project_id=0 / milestone_id=0 / parent_id=0 → "no association" on create,
"leave unchanged" on update; on update, -1 clears the FK (sets it NULL)
