feat(chatbot): implement MCP architecture with stateless design and widget streaming

Completed Phase III Todo AI Chatbot with Model Context Protocol (MCP) architecture:

Backend:
- MCPTaskAgent connects to MCP server via stdio transport for tool access
- Stateless design - all state persisted to database via DatabaseStore
- Widget streaming system with builders for task operations
- Enhanced agent instructions with strict widget display rules
- Database-backed ChatKit store for conversation persistence

Frontend:
- ThemedChatWidget component with CDN integration
- Enhanced global CSS for chat widget styling
- Floating chat widget with proper z-index and positioning

Infrastructure:
- MCP server in src/mcp_server with task management tools
- Task tools (add, list, complete, delete, update) via MCP protocol
- JWT authentication and debugging utilities
- Comprehensive test suite for MCP server and authentication

Documentation:
- Updated README with MCP architecture overview
- Implementation status tracking
- MCP research notes and quickstart guide
- Phase III specification and task breakdown

This implementation follows the stateless architecture mandate where:
- Server holds NO state between requests
- User messages stored BEFORE agent runs
- Assistant responses stored AFTER completion
- All task operations via MCP tools as interface

+
+## Design System
+
+The application features an elegant warm design language:
+
+- **Colors**: Warm cream backgrounds (`#f7f5f0`), dark charcoal text (`#302c28`)
+- **Typography**: Playfair Display for headings, Inter for body text
+- **Components**: Pill-shaped buttons, rounded cards with warm shadows
+- **Dark Mode**: Warm dark tones (`#161412`) maintaining elegant aesthetics
+- **Animations**: Smooth Framer Motion transitions throughout
+
+## Testing
+
+**Backend Tests**:
+```bash
+cd backend
+python -m pytest tests/
+```
+
+**Frontend Tests**:
+```bash
+cd frontend
+npm run test
+```
+
+## Development Methodology
+
+This project follows **Spec-Driven Development (SDD)** with the **Vertical Slice** architecture:
+
+- Every feature is a complete slice: Frontend → Backend → Database
+- Test-Driven Development (TDD) with Red-Green-Refactor cycle
+- Feature specifications in `/specs` directory
+- Architecture decisions documented in `/history/adr`
+
+## Feature Phases
+
+| Phase | Features | Status |
