fix: use import type for GraphConfig, remove verbatim-module-syntax exclusion

The verbatim-module-syntax lint rule was correctly flagging that
GraphConfig is only used in a type position (typeof GraphConfig). Since
typeof resolves purely at the type level, import type works fine here
and is the correct form. No lint exclusion needed.

Also: deno fmt across all files (markdown line wrapping).

When spawning parallel tasks, check if they modify overlapping source files. Tasks that share source files (e.g., both modify `src/call.ts`) are likely to cause merge conflicts. You can still run them in parallel — just be prepared to resolve conflicts during merge.

### Why Agents Don't Commit Task Files
When multiple agents commit task files in parallel branches, merging causes conflicts on files that are essentially metadata. Eliminating task file commits from feature branches removes the highest-frequency, lowest-value conflict category.

from feature branches removes the highest-frequency, lowest-value conflict

### Coordinator Responsibilities
After a task completes and is merged, update the task file on main:
1. Find the task file in `tasks/`
2. Update frontmatter `status: completed` (or `blocked` if the agent safe-exited)
3. Add a brief summary to the `## Summary` section (from the agent's completion notification)
2. Update frontmatter `status: completed` (or `blocked` if the agent

notification)
4. Commit on main: `git commit -m "chore: update task <id> status to completed"`
5. Push main
### If an Agent Accidentally Commits a Task File
If `git merge` complains about conflicting task files (this shouldn't happen with the new convention, but just in case):
- Use `git checkout --theirs tasks/<file>.md` to accept the incoming version, or remove the local copy before merging
