Agent queue: renovate issue filter logic duplicates upstream filtering

Evidence: src/lib/agent-queue.ts — both the filter() in buildAgentQueue() and isRenovateIssue() in issue-filters.ts apply independent Renovate exclusion logic. The buildAgentQueue checks includeRenovate while the Dispatch API route /api/agents/[agentName]/queue also filters via DISPATCH_EXCLUDED_LABELS. These overlapping filters could produce confusing results (issues excluded by one filter but not the other).
