Office: queue guard in the server hire path, not only the page #3119
Description
From the spike in #3117. The dispatch hint is a page-only card, off by default; office-workers hire, MCP and the PR agent skip it. Move the check into the hire/queue handler, include other queued tasks' file guesses, and offer hold-until-merged (reuse Held/stillBusy). Size M, 1-2 days.

Done, from the 2026-11-09 board scan (notes/audit/2026-11-09-*.json): Server-side hire/queue guard landed in #3426 (commit 68ed875, apps/agent-office/live/overlap.ts: refuse, hold or send anyway). The unqueued-hire gap is its own issue, #3427.
