fix: handle independent tasks sequentially to avoid EndTurn conflicts

The issue: When multiple independent tasks are run together, each provides its
own EndTurn tool, causing "Multiple EndTurn tools detected" warnings and failures.

The fix: The orchestrator now detects when multiple independent tasks are
assigned and processes them one at a time across multiple turns. This:

- Eliminates the "Multiple EndTurn tools detected" warning
- Ensures each task completes successfully
- Works for both run_tasks() and asyncio.gather() patterns

This is a pragmatic fix that prioritizes stability. True parallel execution
would require deeper architectural changes to handle multiple EndTurn actions
in a single agent turn.

Fixes issue reported by Matthew Dangerfield in Discord.
