Subject: [PATCH] fix(agent-api): surface "## Open" bullet questions in the
 Asks panel

The /tasks/active question parser only recognised a `## ` section as a
question if its body contained `**Status:**` or `**Options:**` metadata.
The proactive loop writes pending questions as plain bullet items under
a single `## Open` header (per CLAUDE.md and the proactive-loop skill),
so every loop-written question was silently skipped and the web UI Asks
panel stayed empty.

Parse each top-level bullet under `## Open` as its own question; skip
bullets already annotated FIXED/RESOLVED/ANSWERED, and never surface the
`## Resolved` section. Standalone `## <question>` + `**Status:**` sections
are unaffected.
