Add ContentLayout with auto-direction + Dashboard/Files/Artifacts panes

- ContentLayout: ResizeObserver-based row/col direction (flips at 1.5× aspect ratio),
  flex weights 40/40/10 for chat/dashboard/thin, files+artifacts share thin slot
- DashboardPane: placeholder page (agent artifacts will render here)
- FilesPane / ArtifactsPane: dummy panels with vertical/horizontal orientation toggle
- usePanels: replace 'workspace' PaneId with 'dashboard' | 'files' | 'artifacts'
- AgentsView: wire ContentLayout, remove WorkspacePane, clean up pane-layout styles
- AppToolbar: replace workspace toggle with dashboard/files/artifacts buttons
