fix: address CI failure (mypy), review comments, and increase coverage

Fixes:
- mypy error: _STATE_TO_STOP_REASON now typed as dict[TaskState, StopReason]
  instead of implicit str values (was: 'str' incompatible with Literal type)
- Bug: None parts crash in convert_response_to_agent_result (artifact.parts
  and message.parts checked for None before iteration)
- Security: error messages no longer expose raw exception details to clients
- Lint: removed unused variable 'e' in outer except clause (F841)

Review feedback addressed:
- Structured logging: all log messages now use 'task_id=<%s> | message' format
- cancel() docstring: accurately describes state-only transition + best-effort
  agent.cancel() call
- cancel() now calls agent.cancel() if method exists (cooperative cancellation)
- DRY: added _COMPLETE_STATES = _TERMINAL_STATES | _INPUT_STATES and simplified
  _is_complete_event to use single set membership test
- Type annotation: state dict uses dict[str, str] instead of bare dict
- RuntimeError catches: added comments explaining they guard TaskUpdater's
  terminal state enforcement

Coverage improvement:
- Added tests for: task-already-terminal error path, agent.cancel() call,
  agent.cancel() exception handling
- 181 tests pass (up from 178)
