## Summary
- Store the original user-provided idempotency key and scope alongside
the hash
- Expose `ctx.run.idempotencyKey` as the user-provided key (not the
hash)
- Add `ctx.run.idempotencyKeyScope` to show the scope ("run", "attempt",
or "global")

## Problem
Idempotency keys were hashed (SHA-256) before storage, making debugging
difficult since users couldn't see the value they originally set or
search for runs by idempotency key.
## Solution
Attach metadata to the `String` object returned by
`idempotencyKeys.create()` using a Symbol, extract it in the SDK before
the API call, and store it in the database alongside the hash.
```typescript
const key = await idempotencyKeys.create("my-key", { scope: "global" });
await childTask.triggerAndWait(payload, { idempotencyKey: key });
// In child task:
ctx.run.idempotencyKey // "my-key" (previously showed the hash)
ctx.run.idempotencyKeyScope // "global"
```
Test plan
- Trigger task with idempotencyKeys.create() using different scopes (run, attempt, global)
- Verify ctx.run.idempotencyKey returns user-provided key
- Verify ctx.run.idempotencyKeyScope returns correct scope
- Verify PostgreSQL stores idempotencyKeyOptions JSON
- Verify ClickHouse receives idempotency_key_user and idempotency_key_scope via replication
