feat(kanban): full read/write board with per-project tenants

Lifts Scarf's Kanban surface from the v2.6 read-only list to a
drag-and-drop board with the complete Hermes v0.12 mutation surface
wired up, plus per-project boards bound to a Scarf-minted tenant slug
and a read-only board on iOS.

Why now: the v2.6 list was a placeholder shipped while upstream Kanban
collab was still mid-rework. v0.12 stabilized the 27-verb CLI; this
release makes Scarf a real GUI client for it. Driving real tasks
end-to-end exposed and closed a connected bug pattern (claim vs
dispatch, silent skipped_unassigned, integer-vs-ISO timestamps,
parser-leaked "(no" sentinel) that would have shipped as latent UX
papercuts otherwise.

ScarfCore: KanbanService actor (Sendable, pure I/O) wrapping every
verb; KanbanTenantReader cross-platform manifest projection; eight
new model types (TaskDetail, Comment, Event, Run, Stats, Assignee,
CreateRequest, Filters); KanbanError; pure transition planner that
maps drag-drop column changes to verb sequences, tested against
canonical Hermes JSON fixtures.

Mac: KanbanBoardView orchestrator with five-column drag-drop layout,
optimistic-merge state, KanbanInspectorPane side-pane (Comments /
Events / Runs / Log tabs, Log streams worker stdout every 2s while
running), inline assignee picker, health banner for unassigned and
last-failed-run states. New Task sheet defaults to active profile
and auto-fires kanban dispatch on submit. Sidebar moved Kanban from
Manage to Monitor. Read-only KanbanListView preserved as Board|List
toggle for narrow windows / accessibility.

Per-project: DashboardTab.kanban tab on every project gated on
hasKanban; KanbanTenantResolver mints scarf:<slug> tenants on first
interaction and persists to .scarf/manifest.json (immutable across
rename); ProjectAgentContextService surfaces the tenant in the
AGENTS.md scarf-managed block so agents pass --tenant <slug> on
kanban create. New kanban_summary dashboard widget; vocabulary
mirrored in tools/widget-schema.json and site/widgets.js.

iOS: read-only board on the project tab via paged single-column
Picker, modal detail sheet with Comments / Events / Runs. Mutations
+ drag-drop deferred to v2.8.

Tests: 19 new pure-logic tests covering decoding, planner verb
mapping, argv assembly, glance string formatting, and parser
rejection of the kanban assignees empty-state sentinel. All 348
ScarfCore tests pass.

Constraints documented in CLAUDE.md: no within-column reorder
(Hermes has no update --priority verb); no live watch streaming
yet (5s polling for board, 2s for log); no bulk re-tag for legacy
NULL-tenant tasks. Pre-v0.12 Hermes hosts gracefully hide the
surface end-to-end.

+## Kanban v3: drag-and-drop board + per-project tenants (v2.7.5)
+
+Scarf v2.7.5 promotes Kanban from a read-only list to a full board with drag-and-drop, every Hermes write verb wired up, and per-project boards bound to a Scarf-minted tenant slug. The list view is preserved as a `Board | List` toggle for accessibility / narrow-window fallback.
+
+**Sidebar move.** `.kanban` moved from *Manage* → *Monitor* in `SidebarView` (between `.activity` and the remaining Monitor entries). Kanban is runtime work-in-progress, not configuration. Position kept inside the same enum case — only the section bucket changed.
+
+**Hermes constraints that drive design.**
+
+1. **No `update` verb.** `priority`, `title`, `body`, `tenant` are write-once at `kanban create`. Mutations after create are state transitions (`assign` / `claim` / `complete` / `block` / `unblock` / `archive`) or new comments. Inline-edit on a card title is impossible at the wire level.
+2. **No `project_id` column.** Hermes Kanban is one global SQLite DB at `~/.hermes/kanban.db`. Closest namespace is the optional `tenant TEXT` column. Scarf hijacks it: each project gets a `scarf:<slug>` tenant minted on first kanban interaction.
+3. **No within-column position field.** Drag-to-reorder inside a column has no Hermes persistence path and is **disabled** in v2.7.5. Sort key is `priority DESC, created_at DESC` — matches dispatcher's actual run order. Cross-column drag is the only persisted gesture.
+4. **No file-watch / webhooks.** Polling at 5s while foregrounded; live `watch` streaming deferred to a later release (a `hasKanbanWatch` flag will gate it).
+5. **Status enum has 7 values, board collapses to 5 columns:** Triage / **Up Next** (`todo` + `ready`) / Running / Blocked / Done. Triage hides when empty; Archived hides behind a toolbar toggle.
+
+**Service layer.** [KanbanService](scarf/Packages/ScarfCore/Sources/ScarfCore/Services/KanbanService.swift) is a Sendable `actor` in ScarfCore — pure I/O, no UI state. Wraps every v0.12 verb (`list / show / runs / stats / assignees / create / assign / claim / comment / complete / block / unblock / archive / dispatch / link / unlink`). Every method dispatches its CLI invocation through `Task.detached(priority: .utility)`, matching the existing `KanbanViewModel.load` pattern (re: Swift 6 rules in `~/.claude/CLAUDE.md`). Errors land in [KanbanError](scarf/Packages/ScarfCore/Sources/ScarfCore/Models/KanbanError.swift) and surface as inline banners (not modal alerts) since the board is high-frequency. The "no matching tasks" stdout sentinel is normalized to `[]`.
+
+**Drag-drop transition planner.** `KanbanService.plan(for: KanbanTransition)` is a pure function that maps `(from, to)` columns to the right verb sequence — `(.upNext, .running) → [.claim]`, `(.blocked, .running) → [.unblock, .claim]`, etc. Disallowed transitions throw `KanbanError.forbiddenTransition` with a user-facing reason: drop on Done from anywhere triggers "Done is terminal — create a follow-up task to continue work."; drop on Triage from outside triggers "Triage tasks are promoted by a specifier agent." The view's drop handler short-circuits forbidden transitions with red-stroke target feedback.
+
+**Per-project tenant.** [KanbanTenantResolver](scarf/scarf/Core/Services/KanbanTenantResolver.swift) (Mac) mints `scarf:<slug>` on first kanban interaction inside a project, persisting to `<project>/.scarf/manifest.json`'s new optional `kanbanTenant: String?` field. Tenants are **immutable across rename** (existing tasks already carry the old slug). Bare projects (no manifest) get a sentinel manifest written with `id: scarf/<project-id>` + `version: 0.0.0` + just the `kanbanTenant` set; `ProjectAgentContextService` recognizes the sentinel and refuses to surface it as a "Template" line. The cross-platform read-only counterpart is [KanbanTenantReader](scarf/Packages/ScarfCore/Sources/ScarfCore/Services/KanbanTenantReader.swift) in ScarfCore — iOS uses it to filter the per-project board without linking the full manifest model.
+
+**Agent-side tenant injection.** `ProjectAgentContextService.renderBlock` adds a "Kanban tenant" line to the AGENTS.md scarf-managed block whenever a tenant exists. Since `ChatViewModel.startACPSession` calls `refresh(for:)` before opening every project chat, the agent sees the tenant on every session start and is told to pass `--tenant scarf:<slug>` on `hermes kanban create`. Agents are imperfect at flag discipline; misuse just sends the task to the global "Untagged" group on the global board, which is acceptable v2.7.5 behavior. A dedicated retag UX is a follow-up.
+
+**View model.** [KanbanBoardViewModel](scarf/scarf/Features/Kanban/ViewModels/KanbanBoardViewModel.swift) is `@MainActor + @Observable`, holds the column-grouped task array, and applies optimistic-merge logic around drag-drops: an in-flight move records `optimisticOverrides[taskId] = newStatus`, mutates the local array immediately, and clears the override only when the polled response confirms the new status. Without this, a stale poll response can clobber a card the user just dragged. On CLI failure the override is removed and an error message lands in the inline banner.
+
+**Mac surface.** [KanbanBoardView](scarf/scarf/Features/Kanban/Views/KanbanBoardView.swift) is the orchestrator (header + columns + side-pane inspector + create/block/complete sheets). [KanbanColumnView](scarf/scarf/Features/Kanban/Views/KanbanColumnView.swift) owns its `dropDestination(for: KanbanTaskRef.self)`. [KanbanCardView](scarf/scarf/Features/Kanban/Views/KanbanCardView.swift) handles the `.draggable` source, status-specific chrome (running edge accent + shimmer; blocked warning glyph; done dim 0.7/0.55), and a custom drag preview. [KanbanInspectorPane](scarf/scarf/Features/Kanban/Views/KanbanInspectorPane.swift) is a 420pt side-pane (not modal) so the user can keep dragging cards after inspecting one. [KanbanCreateSheet](scarf/scarf/Features/Kanban/Views/KanbanCreateSheet.swift) maps form state to a `KanbanCreateRequest`; the Workspace picker locks to "Project Dir" on per-project boards. [KanbanBlockReasonSheet](scarf/scarf/Features/Kanban/Views/KanbanBlockReasonSheet.swift) and [KanbanCompleteResultSheet](scarf/scarf/Features/Kanban/Views/KanbanCompleteResultSheet.swift) prompt for optional `--reason` / `--result` text on those transitions.
+
+**Per-project surface.** New `DashboardTab.kanban` case in `ProjectsView.swift`, dispatched to [ProjectKanbanTab](scarf/scarf/Features/Projects/Views/ProjectKanbanTab.swift) which mints the tenant on appearance and wraps `KanbanBoardView` with `tenantFilter` + `projectPath` pre-applied. Capability-gated on `HermesCapabilities.hasKanban` so pre-v0.12 hosts don't see a broken destination. Plus a new `kanban_summary` widget — top 3 tasks by priority across `running` + `blocked` + `todo` for the project's tenant, with stats glance footer. Mirror in `tools/widget-schema.json`, `tools/build-catalog.py`, and `site/widgets.js`. Templates can reference it as `{ kind: kanban_summary, max_rows: 3 }` in dashboard.json.
+
+**iOS surface.** Read-only board on the project Kanban tab ([ScarfGoKanbanView](Scarf%20iOS/Kanban/ScarfGoKanbanView.swift) + [ScarfGoKanbanDetailSheet](Scarf%20iOS/Kanban/ScarfGoKanbanDetailSheet.swift)). Renders the 5 columns as a horizontally-paged `Picker` of single-column lists — HIG-friendly on iPhone. No mutations, no drag-drop in v2.7.5 (deferred to a later release). Card titles use semantic `.headline` (not `ScarfFont`) so Dynamic Type works; chrome (badges) keeps `ScarfBadge` for fixed visual weight. Gated on `HermesCapabilities.hasKanban`; pre-v0.12 hosts don't see the segment.
+
+**Capability gating.** Kept the single `HermesCapabilities.hasKanban` flag (`>= 0.12.0`). All 27 verbs shipped together; finer-grained gating is YAGNI. A `hasKanbanWatch` flag will land in a later release if `watch` semantics drift between point releases.
+
+**Don't:** introduce within-column reorder via a client-side ordering sidecar — sort order would diverge from dispatcher's actual run order, which is worse than no manual order. Use `priority` on `kanban create` to set initial order; revisit when Hermes ships an `update --priority` verb. Don't try to mutate `priority` / `title` / `body` post-create — there's no verb. Don't drop cards from `done` into anything — Done is terminal. Don't call `transport.runProcess` directly from view bodies; route through `KanbanService` (the actor) so polling and writes share the same concurrency model.

+## What's in 2.7.5
+
+A feature release that lifts Scarf's Kanban surface from a read-only list (the v2.6 placeholder shipped while upstream Kanban was still mid-rework) to a full drag-and-drop board with the complete Hermes v0.12 mutation surface wired up — plus per-project boards bound to a Scarf-minted tenant slug, and a read-only board on iOS for at-a-glance status from your phone. No data migrations, no schema changes; pre-v0.12 hosts gracefully hide the surface.
+
+### New features
+
+#### Mac
+
+- **Drag-and-drop Kanban board** ([scarf/Features/Kanban/Views/KanbanBoardView.swift](scarf/scarf/Features/Kanban/Views/KanbanBoardView.swift)). Five visible columns — Triage / Up Next (`todo` + `ready`) / Running / Blocked / Done — collapsing Hermes's seven status values into a layout that doesn't waste space on `ready`, which the dispatcher only ever holds for a few seconds. Triage hides itself when empty; archived hides behind a header toggle. Drop a card onto a column and Scarf maps the gesture to the right Hermes verbs through a pure transition planner: drop-on-Running fires `kanban dispatch` (the dispatcher then spawns a worker), drop-on-Blocked opens a sheet asking for a reason and calls `kanban block`, drop-on-Done opens a result sheet and calls `kanban complete`, blocked → running chains `unblock` + `dispatch`. Forbidden transitions (anything dropped on Done; anything dragged out of Triage) reject with a red drop-target stroke and a tooltip explaining why — Done is terminal, Triage is promoted by a specifier worker, neither has a CLI verb that maps cleanly. Optimistic local updates apply on drop and revert on CLI failure with a toast, so the UI feels instant.
+
+- **Side-pane inspector** ([KanbanInspectorPane.swift](scarf/scarf/Features/Kanban/Views/KanbanInspectorPane.swift)). Click a card and a 420 px pane slides in from the trailing edge. Not a modal sheet — modal would block triaging the next card after closing. Header carries the status, an inline assignee menu (more on that below), workspace kind, and tenant; below that, four tabs render `hermes kanban show <id>` data: **Comments** (with an inline composer that calls `kanban comment`), **Events** (the `task_events` log with per-kind glyphs), **Runs** (one row per attempt with outcome badge + summary + error), and **Log** — the worker's captured stdout/stderr from `hermes kanban log <id>`, polled every 2 s while the task is running with a "● streaming" indicator and auto-scroll to the latest line, snapshot-only with a refresh button when the task is in a terminal state. The action bar at the bottom has all the per-status verbs — Start (which is `claim` rebranded as a user-visible action), Complete, Block, Unblock, Archive — every one with a help tooltip explaining what it does and what Hermes verb it invokes. The "Archive" tooltip explicitly notes Hermes has no hard-delete: archived tasks remain in `~/.hermes/kanban.db` and are recoverable via the "Show archived" toggle until `hermes kanban gc` runs.
+
+- **Inspector auto-refresh.** While the inspector is open, the detail (header, action buttons, comments, events, runs) re-fetches every 5 s on the same cadence as the board itself, so a worker transition (e.g. running → done elsewhere) is reflected without the user having to close + reopen. The Log tab's 2 s poll runs separately and self-cancels the moment the task transitions out of `running`.
+
+- **Inline assignee picker on the inspector header.** The assignee badge is a clickable menu — set means a `.brand` (rust) chip, unassigned means a `.warning` (yellow) chip so the eye catches it instantly. Tapping opens a menu of every known profile (union of `~/.hermes/profiles/`, current task assignees, and the active local profile from `HermesProfileResolver`) plus an "Unassigned" option. Selection routes through `kanban assign` and immediately follows with `kanban dispatch` so the task gets picked up promptly. Solves the "I assigned a profile but nothing happened" gap end-to-end without the user touching a terminal.
+
+- **Health banner in the inspector.** Surfaces two conditions that previously left users staring at a stuck task with no explanation. **Yellow** when the task is unassigned in `ready` / `todo`: *"Won't run automatically — Hermes's dispatcher silently skips tasks with no assignee."* The dispatcher's own `--json` output literally lists these under `skipped_unassigned`; we now surface that to the human. **Red** when the most-recently-completed run ended in a non-success outcome (`stale_lock` / `crashed` / `gave_up` / `timed_out` / `spawn_failed` / `reclaimed` / `failed`): banner displays the outcome label + the raw `error` field from the run record, so you don't have to dig into the Runs tab to discover it. The red banner is suppressed while a fresh attempt is running — once status flips back to `running`, the previous outcome is stale signal and the Log tab's live stream is the right thing to look at.
+
+- **Card-level signals.** Cards in `running` get a 2 px `ScarfColor.info` left edge + a subtle title shimmer so live work is obvious at a glance. Blocked cards get a 2 px `ScarfColor.warning` left edge + a ⚠ glyph next to the title. Done cards dim to 0.7 opacity in light mode, 0.55 in dark, with a green ✓ in the title row. Cards in `ready` / `todo` with no assignee get a yellow ⚠ glyph in the title row with a tooltip explaining the dispatcher won't pick them up — same signal as the inspector banner, just at the board level so triage is one keypress away.
+
+- **`Board | List` toggle at the top of the route.** The v2.6 read-only list view is preserved in `KanbanListView.swift` and surfaced via a segmented picker, so users on narrow windows or anyone who prefers a flat sortable list can opt in. Choice persists across launches via `@AppStorage`.
+
+- **New Task sheet** ([KanbanCreateSheet.swift](scarf/scarf/Features/Kanban/Views/KanbanCreateSheet.swift)). Title, body (markdown supported), assignee (defaults to `HermesProfileResolver.activeProfileName()` so newly-created tasks actually run), workspace kind (segmented `Scratch / Worktree / Project Dir`; locked to Project Dir on per-project boards), priority slider, comma-separated skills with autocomplete from `~/.hermes/skills/`, optional tenant (hidden on per-project boards — the slug is implicit), and a "Send to triage" toggle. Submit fires `kanban create --json` and immediately follows with `kanban dispatch` so an assigned task transitions `ready` → `running` within seconds rather than waiting for the gateway dispatcher's internal cycle.
+
+- **Kanban moved from Manage → Monitor in the sidebar.** It's runtime work-in-progress, not configuration. Sits between Activity and the rest of Manage so users see "what's happening right now" at a glance.
+
+#### Per-project Kanban
+
+- **`DashboardTab.kanban` on every project**, capability-gated on `HermesCapabilities.hasKanban`. Renders a project-scoped `KanbanBoardView` filtered to the project's tenant slug. Workspace defaults in the New Task sheet are pre-pinned to `dir:<project.path>`. Empty state explains the project doesn't have any tasks yet and offers a "New Task" CTA — the empty board IS the discovery surface.
+
+- **Tenant minting via [KanbanTenantResolver](scarf/scarf/Core/Services/KanbanTenantResolver.swift).** Each Scarf project gets a stable `scarf:<slug>` tenant minted on first kanban interaction and persisted to `<project>/.scarf/manifest.json` (new optional `kanbanTenant` field on `ProjectTemplateManifest`). Slug rules: lowercased, hyphenated, ≤ 48 chars, `scarf:` prefix to avoid collision with hand-typed tenants. Once minted, the tenant is **immutable across rename** — tasks already on the board carry the original slug, so renaming the project doesn't orphan them. Bare projects (no manifest) get a sentinel manifest written with `id: scarf/<project-id>` + `version: 0.0.0` + just the `kanbanTenant` set; the `ProjectAgentContextService` reader recognizes the sentinel and refuses to surface it as a "Template" line in the AGENTS.md block, so the project doesn't suddenly start advertising a fake template to the agent.
+
+- **Agent-side tenant injection.** [ProjectAgentContextService.renderBlock](scarf/scarf/Core/Services/ProjectAgentContextService.swift) emits a "Kanban tenant" line inside the `<!-- scarf-project -->` markers in `<project>/AGENTS.md` whenever a tenant exists, instructing the agent to pass `--tenant scarf:<slug>` on `hermes kanban create`. `ChatViewModel.startACPSession` already calls `refresh(for:)` before opening every project chat, so the agent reads a fresh tenant on every session start with no extra wiring. Agents are imperfect at flag discipline; a forgotten `--tenant` lands the task in the global "Untagged" group rather than failing — acceptable v2.7.5 behavior.
+
+- **`kanban_summary` dashboard widget** ([KanbanSummaryWidgetView.swift](scarf/scarf/Features/Projects/Views/Widgets/KanbanSummaryWidgetView.swift)). New widget kind for project dashboards: shows the top three `running` / `blocked` / `todo` tasks for the project's tenant by priority, plus a glance footer (`"12 todo · 3 running · 5 blocked"`) sourced from `kanban stats`. Polls every 10 s while the dashboard is foregrounded. Widget vocabulary registered in [tools/widget-schema.json](tools/widget-schema.json) and rendered on the catalog site via [site/widgets.js](site/widgets.js); template authors can drop a `{ kind: kanban_summary, max_rows: 3 }` block into `dashboard.json`.
+
+#### iOS / iPadOS
+
+- **Read-only Kanban tab on `ProjectDetailView`** ([Scarf iOS/Kanban/ScarfGoKanbanView.swift](scarf/Scarf%20iOS/Kanban/ScarfGoKanbanView.swift)). Same five-column collapse rendered as a horizontally-paged segmented `Picker` of single-column lists — HIG-friendly on iPhone where a 5-column grid forces unreadable card widths. Pulls live status, assignee, workspace, skills, priority chips. Tap a card → modal `NavigationStack` detail sheet ([ScarfGoKanbanDetailSheet.swift](scarf/Scarf%20iOS/Kanban/ScarfGoKanbanDetailSheet.swift)) with the same Comments / Events / Runs tabs the Mac inspector has. Read-only in v2.7.5 — mutations + drag-drop on iPad land in v2.8 once the Mac flow is fully shaken out. Card titles use semantic `.headline` (not `ScarfFont`) so Dynamic Type works; chrome (badges) stays on `ScarfBadge` for fixed visual weight per the project's iOS conventions.
+
+#### ScarfCore
+
+- **`KanbanService` actor** ([Packages/ScarfCore/Sources/ScarfCore/Services/KanbanService.swift](scarf/Packages/ScarfCore/Sources/ScarfCore/Services/KanbanService.swift)) — pure-I/O Sendable actor wrapping every Hermes v0.12 verb (`list / show / runs / stats / assignees / create / assign / claim / comment / complete / block / unblock / archive / dispatch / link / unlink / log`). Dispatches each CLI invocation through `Task.detached(priority: .utility)` matching the existing concurrency conventions. Errors land in [KanbanError](scarf/Packages/ScarfCore/Sources/ScarfCore/Models/KanbanError.swift) and surface as inline banners (not modal alerts) since the board is high-frequency. The "no matching tasks" stdout sentinel is normalized to `[]` rather than thrown.
+
+- **Pure transition planner.** `KanbanService.plan(for: KanbanTransition)` is a synchronous function that maps a `(from, to)` column pair to the right verb sequence — `(.upNext, .running) → [.dispatch]`, `(.blocked, .running) → [.unblock, .dispatch]`, etc. Disallowed transitions throw `KanbanError.forbiddenTransition` with a user-actionable reason. The planner is fully tested in `KanbanModelsTests.swift`. Critically: `dispatch` (not `claim`) is the verb used for Up-Next → Running. Hermes's `claim` is documented as "manual alternative to the dispatcher" and assumes the caller spawns the worker themselves — Scarf doesn't, so calling `claim` from drag-drop reserved tasks but never spawned work, and the dispatcher reclaimed them ~15 minutes later (`stale_lock`). `dispatch` is the right primitive for a GUI client.
+
+- **Cross-platform [KanbanTenantReader](scarf/Packages/ScarfCore/Sources/ScarfCore/Services/KanbanTenantReader.swift).** Read-only projection over `<project>/.scarf/manifest.json`'s `kanbanTenant` field. The full `ProjectTemplateManifest` type lives in the Mac target; this lightweight reader gives iOS a way to filter the per-project board by tenant without linking the full manifest model.
+
+- **Timestamp decoding tolerates both shapes.** Hermes emits `created_at` / `started_at` / `completed_at` / `last_heartbeat_at` etc. as Unix integer seconds (its SQLite columns are INTEGER), but earlier wire docs implied ISO-8601 strings. The decoder now accepts either an integer or a string and normalizes to ISO-8601 so downstream code only handles one type. Locked in by `decodeUnixIntegerTimestamps` in `KanbanModelsTests`.
+
+- **`KanbanBoardViewModel` optimistic merge.** Holds `optimisticOverrides: [taskId: status]` for in-flight drags; the polled response merges with optimistic state until the server confirms the new status, so a stale poll arriving milliseconds after a drop can't snap the card back to its old column. On CLI failure the override is removed and the message lands in the inline banner.
+
+### Dispatch + assignee fixes
+
+A diagnostic round driving real tasks end-to-end exposed a connected bug pattern that the polish pass closed:
+
+- **Hermes's dispatcher silently skips unassigned tasks** — its `kanban dispatch --json` output literally lists them under a `skipped_unassigned` key and moves on. Tasks created without an assignee sat in `ready` indefinitely and the user had no signal anything was wrong. The New Task sheet now defaults to the active Hermes profile, the inspector header shows a yellow "Unassigned" chip + warning banner, every `ready` / `todo` card without an assignee gets a ⚠ glyph + tooltip, and the inspector's inline assignee picker fixes it in one click.
+
+- **Drag-to-Running used to call `claim`**, which is a manual alternative to the dispatcher. Status flipped to `running`, but no worker spawned (Scarf doesn't host workers), and 15 minutes later the dispatcher reclaimed the task with a `stale_lock` outcome. Replaced with `dispatch` end-to-end so the gateway-running dispatcher actually does the spawning.
+
+- **`hermes kanban assignees` empty-state was leaking into the picker.** The CLI prints a literal sentinel `(no assignees — create a profile with hermes -p <name> setup)` when the table is empty; the parser was tokenizing it on whitespace and offering `(no` as a profile in the menu. Parser now skips the sentinel, validates each candidate against `^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$`, and falls back cleanly to the active local profile when the table is empty.
+
+### Migrating from 2.7.1
+
+Sparkle will offer the update automatically. No config migration, no schema changes — `~/.hermes/kanban.db` is shared across all Hermes clients and Scarf only reads/writes through the documented CLI surface. Existing Scarf projects pick up the new project Kanban tab on first open; the tenant slug is minted lazily on first kanban interaction inside the project, so projects with no kanban activity stay byte-identical until the user opens the tab.
+
+If you have an existing project with a Scarf-managed `manifest.json`, the new optional `kanbanTenant` field is added on next mint and lives alongside any template-author config schema without touching it. Templates do not ship `kanbanTenant` (it's user-machine-scoped state); the export pipeline strips it.
+
+If you've been running tasks via the v2.6 read-only list and your Hermes host already runs the gateway dispatcher, your existing kanban tasks should appear on the board automatically — there's no migration step. Tasks created without an assignee in v2.6 will now show the yellow "Unassigned" warning until you fix them through the inline picker.
+
+### Known limitations
+
+- **Within-column reorder is not supported.** Hermes has no `update` verb and no `position` column on the tasks table — `priority` is write-once at create time. Sort order inside each column is `priority DESC, created_at DESC`, matching the dispatcher's actual run order. We considered a client-side ordering sidecar; rejected because the on-screen order would diverge from what runs next, which is worse than no manual order. Will revisit if Hermes ships an `update --priority` verb.
+
+- **No live `watch` streaming yet.** The board polls every 5 s; the inspector polls detail on the same cadence and the Log tab on a 2 s cadence while running. `hermes kanban watch --json` event streaming + reconnect-with-backoff lands in v2.8 along with iOS write surfaces.
+
+- **No bulk re-tag for legacy NULL-tenant tasks.** Tasks created before this release (assignee or no assignee) appear in the global "Untagged" group on the global board. Hermes has no `tenant` mutation verb post-create, so retagging would be archive + recreate — too destructive to ship in this release.
+
+### Acknowledgements
+
+- Driven end-to-end against a fresh local Hermes v0.12.0 install with the gateway dispatcher running. Real bug surface mostly came from doing instead of speculating: the `claim` vs `dispatch` distinction, the silent `skipped_unassigned` behavior, the `(no` parse leak, the integer-vs-ISO timestamp shape, and the stale "Last run" banner during a fresh attempt all surfaced from driving real tasks and watching what actually happened.

+/// Async, transport-aware client for `hermes kanban …`. Wraps every CLI
+/// verb the v0.12 board exposes in a typed Swift surface.
+///
+/// **Concurrency.** This is a pure-I/O `actor` — no UI state. View models
+/// (`@MainActor` `@Observable`) hold a service reference and `await`
+/// methods. Each public method serializes through the actor, but the
+/// underlying CLI invocation runs on a `Task.detached(priority: .utility)`
+/// so two concurrent reads from different VMs don't queue end-to-end on
+/// a single thread.
+///
+/// **Hermes constraints surfaced as Swift constraints:**
+/// - There is no `update` verb, so there's no `update(taskId:title:body:)`.
+///   Mutations after create are state transitions (assign / claim /
+///   complete / block / unblock / archive / comment) or new comments.
+/// - The board is global with optional `tenant` namespacing — pass a
+///   tenant via `KanbanListFilter.tenant` for project-scoped views.
+/// - The CLI prints `"no matching tasks"` instead of `[]` when nothing
+///   matches a filter. We fold that into `[]` rather than throwing.
