fix: prevent task deletion when clicking on history items

- Modified TaskItem component to prevent automatic task resumption on click
- Added explicit Resume button to TaskItemFooter for intentional task resumption
- Task items now only respond to clicks in selection mode for checkbox toggling
- Added translation for "Resume Task" button
- Preserves existing export functionality for non-destructive task viewing

Fixes #6592
