Replace planner queue + inline forms with searchable add-task modal

- Single "Add task" button in the planner header opens a modal
- Day tabs (Mon–Fri with dates) let you switch the target day without closing
- Live search filters all course items across all courses instantly
- Items pre-fetched in background when planner loads — no per-click delay
- Clicking an item schedules it immediately (no separate Save step)
- Column "+ Add" buttons still work and open the modal pre-selected to that day
- Offline task field at the bottom for non-course entries
- Backdrop click or ✕ closes modal and re-renders the planner
