Control spend with budgets

Persona: room owner. Task and room budgets include AI usage and applicable resource costs, reported by category. Recorded usage above a limit blocks further work until the budget is raised; already-started work can finish above the limit.

Steps

1. Set a task budget and a room budget.
2. Recorded usage exceeds an applicable limit, and subsequent agent work enters a limit-reached state.
3. The owner raises the budget in one click from the action item.
