Lauren ten Hoor 28bc3cddd2 fix: disable auto-tick in work_start to prevent unwanted worker dispatch ...

Problem:
The work_start tool was automatically running a 'tick' after picking up
an issue, which filled parallel worker slots by dispatching additional
workers for other issues without explicit instruction.

Example: Picking up #123 also auto-dispatched QA for #121 via tickPickups.

Root Cause:
work_start called tickAndNotify() which ran projectTick() to fill free
worker slots in parallel execution mode. This behavior was automatic and
not controllable.

Solution:
- Disabled the auto-tick functionality in work_start
- Commented out the tickAndNotify call
- Removed tickPickups from the response
- Updated documentation to reflect the change

Impact:
- work_start now picks up ONLY the explicitly requested issue
- No automatic worker dispatch for parallel slots
- For filling worker slots, use work_heartbeat instead
- Gives more control over worker assignments

Changes:
- lib/tools/work-start.ts:
  * Commented out tickAndNotify call
  * Removed tickPickups from output
  * Updated file header comment
  * Updated tool description

Addresses issue #125
