Add to memory "tasks" to track individual items to complete

[double16]

What problem does this solve?

The plan is currently one memory item that is broken into a handful of phases. This makes it difficult to track more than a few vulns. The agent focuses on vulns that fit into context and then finishes.

Proposed solution

Add the concept of a task: [TASK] with properties:

1. title
2. catergory=task
3. phase=N (based on execution prompt)
4. status one of active | pending | done | partial_failure (stuck, need different capability) | blocked (dependency failed)

One task is active at a time. When a task is done, partial_failure or blocked, the next pending task is made active and worked upon.

Add a new task when:

• An area of the target needs to be explored, new DISCOVERY task.
• Vulnerability is found, add HYPOTHESIS task. Possibly a vulnerability should be split into phases, so one task per (vuln,phase) tuple.
• Tasks are processed only when the phase matches so that budget/check point rules are followed.
• Tasks must be based on execution prompt phases, following module intent.

When starting a new operation, current pending tasks will be considered.

Example:

• DISCOVERY reveals possible injection points: add a task for sqli HYPOTHESIS, phase 2
• HYPOTHESIS sqli phase 2 add VALIDATION task phase 3
• VALIDATION done, add FINDING
• CHAINING phase 4 adds task for each possible chain of FINDINGS
