feat(fluent): add overflow menu for other views and optimized task updates

- Add configurable overflow threshold for Other Views (default: 5)
- Show overflow menu (ellipsis) when more than 5 other views exist
- Add setting in Beta Test tab to configure overflow threshold
- Implement refreshCurrentViewData for lightweight updates
- Optimize task updates to only refresh affected components
- Preserve details panel state during task updates
- Avoid full view re-renders when task data changes
