Eric Allam 3875bb292a feat(engine): run debounce system (#2794)
Adds support for **debounced task runs** - when triggering a task with a
debounce key, subsequent triggers with the same key will reschedule the
existing delayed run instead of creating new runs. This continues until
no new triggers occur within the delay window.

## Usage

```typescript
await myTask.trigger({ userId: "123" }, {
  debounce: {
    key: "user-123-update",
    delay: "5s",
    mode: "leading", // default
  }
});
```

- **key**: Scoped to the task identifier
- **delay**: How long to wait before executing (supports duration
strings like `"5s"`, `"1m"`)
- **mode**: Either `"leading"` or `"trailing"`. Leading debounce will
use the payload and options from the first run created with the debounce
key. Trailing will use payload and options from the last run.

### "trailing" mode overrides

When using `mode: "trailing"` with debounce, the following options are
updated from the **last** trigger:

- **`payload`** - The task input data
- **`metadata`** - Run metadata
- **`tags`** - Run tags (replaces existing tags)
- **`maxAttempts`** - Maximum retry attempts
- **`maxDuration`** - Maximum compute time
- **`machine`**  - Machine preset (cpu/memory)

## Behavior

- **First run wins**: The first trigger creates the run, subsequent
triggers push its execution time later
- **Idempotency keys take precedence**: If both are specified,
idempotency is checked first
- **Max duration**: Configurable via `DEBOUNCE_MAX_DURATION_MS` env var
(default: 10 minutes)

Works with `triggerAndWait` - parent runs correctly block on the
debounced run.
