A catalogue skill starts a normal task, and a failed one can run again (#373)

OP OpenVibers committed 4 days ago · ac0ffa0ad7 · 12 files, +140 −19

* A catalogue skill starts a normal task, and a failed one can run again

POST /api/v1/runs starts one of Actor's catalogue skills as this person: the
skill's instructions are pinned to the run, so editing the catalogue later never
changes a task already under way. POST /api/v1/tasks/:id/retry runs a task that
stopped again, with the same mode or another one.

A task that came from a skill keeps its skill and its subject, so the Dock's row
is about the work and not about the prompt. Two skills join the catalogue: make
an image, and make a wiki article.

* Name the shared code map as the source of truth

The words a failed run shows come from Contracts' ai.run-error@1. The copy here is
what Actor answers with until the release that carries the manifest is pinned.

* Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/main' into auto/dock-v2-actor

* openvibe-contracts v0.365.0 (actor.skill.run); a task's skill labels are exported with the person's tasks
