feat(tasks): manage markdown loops from scheduled tasks

 ### How loops behave
 
-- The **file is authoritative** while it exists: edits made in the UI are reverted on the next sync. The scheduled-tasks dialog marks loop tasks and disables their edit/enable/delete actions — **run now** still works. To stop a loop, delete the file (or set `enabled: false`).
+- The **file is authoritative** while it exists. **Edit** opens it in the built-in file editor, the enabled toggle updates its frontmatter, and deleting the task deletes the markdown file after confirmation. **Run now** remains available.
 - Runtime state (last run, next run, status) lives in the project config and is never written back into the markdown file.
 - Renaming the `name` field renames the task in place. If a loop file temporarily fails to parse (mid-edit, merge conflict), its task is kept with the last good definition until the file is fixed.
 - `daily`/`weekly`/`once` schedules and goal settings remain UI-only; loop files are always cron.
