When a member moves an agent-assigned issue from "backlog" to an active status (e.g. "todo", "in_progress"), enqueue an agent task so the agent starts working. This lets backlog act as a parking lot where issues can be assigned to agents without immediately triggering execution. Applies to both single and batch issue updates.

Address review feedback: creating or assigning an agent to a backlog issue no longer triggers immediate execution. Only moving out of backlog to an active status triggers the agent, producing exactly one task. - shouldEnqueueAgentTask now gates on backlog status - backlog→active trigger uses isAgentAssigneeReady directly - Added TestBacklogNoTriggerOnCreate test - Updated TestBacklogToTodoTriggersAgent to assert exactly 1 task across the full create→move path (no manual cleanup)
Users may not know that backlog issues won't trigger agent execution until moved to an active status. Show an actionable toast with a "Move to Todo" button when: - Assigning an agent to a backlog issue in the detail page - Creating a backlog issue with an agent assignee
Users who understand the backlog parking lot behavior can dismiss the hint permanently. Uses localStorage to persist the preference.
Use a modal dialog instead of a toast notification so users must explicitly acknowledge the hint. The dialog offers three options: - "Move to Todo" — changes status and triggers the agent - "Keep in Backlog" — dismisses without action - "Don't show again" — persists dismissal in localStorage
…-again 1. Create Issue dialog now closes when the backlog agent hint appears, so only the hint dialog is visible (not stacked behind). 2. "Don't show again" is now a checkbox instead of a separate button. When checked, clicking either "Keep in Backlog" or "Move to Todo" persists the preference.
The test mock for @multica/core/issues/mutations was missing the useUpdateIssue export that create-issue.tsx now imports, causing CI failure.
