feat(01-04): add TanStack Virtual list virtualization and keyboard navigation hook

- Install @tanstack/react-virtual for virtualized list rendering
- Create useRovingTabIndex hook in src/renderer/lib/keyboard.ts for arrow-key navigation
- Add virtualization to 6 lists: TaskQueue, ApprovalList, ActivityList, CostList, AgentRoster, MessageList
- MessageList uses measureElement for variable-height message items with auto-scroll
- All 6 lists have role="listbox" with role="option" on rows for accessibility
- All 6 lists support ArrowDown/ArrowUp/j/k/Home/End keyboard navigation
- Add 8 unit tests for useRovingTabIndex covering all key bindings and edge cases

+ * Keyboard navigation utilities for virtualized lists.

+ * The useRovingTabIndex hook can be used in two ways:
+ * 1. As a React hook (called inside a component) -- it creates its own React state
+ * 2. As a standalone factory (for testing) -- it manages state internally
+ *
+ * This dual design allows pure-logic testing without DOM or React rendering.
