Add LLM input logging and UI log pane

- Add log_queue to PipelineOrchestrator and log LLM inputs to UI
- Use entity_name for lore update logs instead of topic
- Pass log_queue into ConfirmationApp to display logs in UI
- Introduce a log pane and left/right pane layout in the UI
- Poll and render log messages via a new poll_log_updates worker
- Run log polling with Textual workers to avoid GC issues
- Fix ListView insertion by wrapping ListItem in a list
- Relax RAG similarity threshold from 0.7 to 0.5
