Issue 9: Telemetry + experiment instrumentation

Epic: Task-queue orchestrator runner · Depends on: #624 (emits during
execution), finalize after #626 and #627

Why

The dark launch is judged primarily on responsiveness: a short time to first
visible progress, and steady incremental progress. Per-task latency and model are
the headline metrics, and tokens are a secondary cost to watch. We need clean
per-task and per-run telemetry, segmentable from the linear baseline by VARIANT.

Scope / deliverable

1. Variant tagging. VARIANT: 'orchestrator' flows into existing events via
   headers (buildAgentEnv, agent-interface.ts:371) once Issue 1: Shared bootstrap extraction + variant gating #621 lands. Also
   analytics.setTag('variant', 'orchestrator') so sessionProperties
   (analytics.ts:16) and the setup wizard finished shutdown event (:166)
   carry it. The existing per-task agent started and agent completed events
   become the A/B spine.
2. Orchestrator events via analytics.wizardCapture:
   • orchestrator seeded { task_count, types }
   • orchestrator task started|completed|failed { type, model, attempts, duration_ms }
   • orchestrator task enqueued { type, enqueued_by, depth, dynamic }
   • orchestrator guard tripped { guard, type }, emitted from Issue 4: Orchestrator MCP tools (in wizard-tools) #623's guards
   • orchestrator run finished { tasks_total, tasks_done, tasks_failed, total_duration_ms }. A resumed flag is added by Issue 10: Resume across runs/crashes (deferred, low priority) #629.
3. Responsiveness metrics, the headline. Capture:
   • time to first task started, from launch to the first task reaching
     in_progress, the key "no long silent gap" signal,
   • per-task duration_ms, and the gap between consecutive task starts, so no
     single step dominates wall-clock,
   • per-task model, to confirm cheap models carry the cheap work.
     Keep each task's agent completed and duration_ms (agent-interface.ts:862).
4. Per-task token capture, secondary. Surface token usage per task. Summing
   across tasks versus the linear baseline's single agent completed is a cost to
   watch, not the pass/fail metric.
5. Run-end remark once. Wire the Stop-hook requestRemark flag from Issue 5: Executor framework + fresh per-task agent #624 so the
   remark (WIZARD_REMARK_EVENT_NAME, :859) fires once at run end, not per task.

Key files

• src/lib/programs/orchestrator/orchestrator-runner.ts (emit run and task events)
• src/lib/programs/orchestrator/queue-tools.ts (emit enqueue and guard events)
• src/lib/agent/agent-interface.ts (remark gating, per-task token capture)
• src/utils/analytics.ts (setTag('variant', ...))

Acceptance criteria

• A run emits orchestrator seeded, then per-task started and completed,
  then orchestrator run finished, all carrying VARIANT=orchestrator.
• Baseline and orchestrator runs are distinguishable in PostHog by VARIANT.
• Time to first task started, per-task duration_ms, gap between starts, and
  per-task model are captured, the responsiveness headline.
• Per-task token usage is captured as a secondary cost to watch.
• The remark fires once per run.
