agent_spawn
Write a task to a blackboard to assign it to a specific agent, who will execute it on its next poll cycle.
Instructions
Write a task record to the blackboard to dispatch work to a named agent on its next poll cycle. Returns {ok:true, taskKey, agentId, instruction, written:true} on success. Returns {ok:false, error:"..."} if agent_id, task_key, or instruction is missing, or if payload_json is malformed. Call agent_list first to confirm the target agent is registered; verify the task was recorded with blackboard_read after spawning.
