[codex] Raise agent heartbeat concurrency default (#4954)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies
> - Agent heartbeat settings control how much parallel work one employee
can run
> - The previous default of 5 concurrent runs was too restrictive for
active local agent teams
> - The shared default, heartbeat clamp, docs, and route/import/UI
expectations need to agree
> - This pull request raises the default heartbeat concurrency to 20
while keeping explicit headroom up to 50 for power users
> - The benefit is higher throughput for agent teams without each new
agent needing manual runtime config edits

## What Changed

- Raised `AGENT_DEFAULT_MAX_CONCURRENT_RUNS` from 5 to 20.
- Raised the heartbeat service max clamp from 10 to 50, keeping the new
default below the ceiling.
- Updated V1 implementation docs and tests that assert default
imported/exported runtime config.
- Updated the new-agent UI runtime config test to assert the shared
default constant instead of duplicating the numeric value.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/agent-permissions-routes.test.ts
server/src/__tests__/company-portability.test.ts
ui/src/lib/new-agent-runtime-config.test.ts`

## Risks

- Medium risk: new agents can consume more local execution capacity by
default. The heartbeat scheduler still respects configured max
concurrency and budget/pause controls, and operators can lower or raise
the per-agent cap within the `1..50` clamp.

> For core feature work, check [`ROADMAP.md`](ROADMAP.md) first and
discuss it in `#dev` before opening the PR. Feature PRs that overlap
with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 coding agent, tool use and local command
execution. Exact context window was not exposed in the runtime.
