fix: auto-load default config file and relax repository_url requirement

root.go: PersistentPreRunE was only reading the config file when --config
was explicitly passed. This left LocalModel.Endpoint empty so the local
runner was never registered and the Classifier overrode agent.type:local.
Now always tries ~/.claudomator/config.toml; silently ignores ENOENT.

validator.go: repository_url was unconditionally required but is irrelevant
for LocalRunner tasks (pure chat completions). The executor already handles
an empty RepositoryURL via the Project registry lookup at dispatch time.
