Make the "View task" / "Go to subtask" buttons in ChatRow more visually prominent by using the VSCode link color with a subtle background, replacing the previous muted description foreground color that was barely visible. Changes: - ChatRow.tsx: Updated both "Go to subtask" buttons (newTask tool and subtask_result) to use text-vscode-textLink-foreground with a bg-vscode-textLink-foreground/10 background, font-medium weight, padding, and rounded corners for a button-like appearance - index.css: Added --color-vscode-textLink-activeForeground CSS variable for hover state support Addresses #12358
2 tasks
When a parent task has an active subtask (awaitingChildId is set), a "Show subtask" button now appears in the button bar area: - If no other action buttons are present, it shows as the primary button - If action buttons are already showing (e.g. resume_task), it appears as a secondary button alongside them This prevents users from missing that a subtask is running and accidentally interacting with the wrong task. Includes 4 new tests for the Show subtask button behavior.

This PR attempts to address Issue #12358. Feedback and guidance are welcome.
Problem
The "View task" / "Go to subtask" buttons in the chat view were using
text-vscode-descriptionForeground, making them barely visible and easy to miss -- especially when a subtask is interrupted by a question and the user needs to navigate to it.Additionally, when a subtask is actively running, the parent task had no clear indicator in the button bar area, making it easy to accidentally interact with the wrong task.
