refactor: Phase 5 - Remove manual cache invalidations (#707)

* chore, cleanup leftovers of tanstack refactoring * refactor: Complete Phase 5 - Remove manual cache invalidations - Removed all manual cache invalidations from knowledge queries - Updated task queries to rely on backend consistency - Fixed optimistic update utilities to handle edge cases - Cleaned up unused imports and test utilities - Fixed minor TypeScript issues in UI components Backend now ensures data consistency through proper transaction handling, eliminating the need for frontend cache coordination. * docs: Enhance TODO comment for knowledge optimistic update issue - Added comprehensive explanation of the query key mismatch issue - Documented current behavior and impact on user experience - Listed potential solutions with tradeoffs - Created detailed PRP story in PRPs/local/ for future implementation - References specific line numbers and implementation details This documents a known limitation where optimistic updates to knowledge items are invisible because mutations update the wrong query cache.

+      // but the UI component (KnowledgeView) queries with dynamic filters that we don't have access to here.
+      // This means optimistic updates only work if the filter happens to match what's being viewed.
+      //
+      // CURRENT BEHAVIOR:
+      // - We update all cached summaries queries (lines 158-179 below)
+      // - BUT if the user changes filters after mutation starts, they won't see the optimistic update
+      // - AND we have no way to know what filter the user is currently viewing
+      //
+      // PROPER FIX requires one of:
+      // 1. Pass current filter from KnowledgeView to mutation hooks (prop drilling)
+      // 2. Create KnowledgeFilterContext to share filter state
+      // 3. Restructure to have a single source of truth query key like other features
