chengyongru d4e34f8c67 fix(commands): intercept non-priority commands during active turn
Non-priority slash commands (e.g. /new, /help, /dream-log) arriving
while a session has an active LLM turn were silently queued into the
pending injection buffer and later injected as raw user messages into
the LLM conversation. This caused the model to respond to "/new" as
plain text instead of executing the command.

Root cause: the run() loop only checked priority commands (/stop,
/restart, /status) before routing messages to the pending queue. All
other command tiers (exact, prefix) bypassed command dispatch entirely.

Changes:
- Add CommandRouter.is_dispatchable_command() to match exact/prefix
  tiers, mirroring the existing is_priority() pattern.
- In run(), intercept dispatchable commands before pending queue
  insertion and dispatch them directly via _dispatch_command_inline().
- Extract _cancel_active_tasks() from cmd_stop for reuse; cmd_new now
  cancels active tasks before clearing the session to prevent shared
  mutable state corruption from concurrent asyncio coroutines.
- Update /new semantics: stops active task first, then clears session.
- Update documentation in help text, docs, and Discord command list.

In-Chat Commands

These commands work inside chat channels and interactive agent sessions:

Command Description
/new Stop current task and start a new conversation
/stop Stop the current task
/restart Restart the bot
/status Show bot status
/dream Run Dream memory consolidation now
/dream-log Show the latest Dream memory change
/dream-log <sha> Show a specific Dream memory change
/dream-restore List recent Dream memory versions
/dream-restore <sha> Restore memory to the state before a specific change
/help Show available in-chat commands

Periodic Tasks

The gateway wakes up every 30 minutes and checks HEARTBEAT.md in your workspace (~/.nanobot/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md). If the file has tasks, the agent executes them and delivers results to your most recently active chat channel.

Setup: edit ~/.nanobot/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md (created automatically by nanobot onboard):

## Periodic Tasks

- [ ] Check weather forecast and send a summary
- [ ] Scan inbox for urgent emails

The agent can also manage this file itself — ask it to "add a periodic task" and it will update HEARTBEAT.md for you.

Note: The gateway must be running (nanobot gateway) and you must have chatted with the bot at least once so it knows which channel to deliver to.
