Unreleased

dew init <path> scaffolds a new project, generating .project/dew.yaml with sensible defaults and running all module init hooks (kanban directory layout, etc.).

Full set of kanban subcommands, each also registered as an MCP tool automatically:

Subcommand	Description
`create`	Create a new ticket with title, type, column, body, labels, and milestones
`list`	List tickets filtered by column, type, label, milestone, or archived state
`get`	Fetch a single ticket by ID
`update`	Update any field on a ticket (title, type, column, body, labels, milestones)
`delete`	Permanently delete a ticket
`move`	Move a ticket to a different column (validates column transition rules)
`search`	Full-text search across ticket titles, bodies, and comments
`comment`	Append a comment to a ticket
`archive`	Soft-delete a ticket by moving it to the archive column
`unarchive`	Restore an archived ticket to a column
`link`	Create a typed bidirectional link between two tickets
`unlink`	Remove a link between two tickets
`stats`	Display ticket counts grouped by column and type
`board`	Print an ASCII representation of the board
`config`	Print the current kanban configuration
`tui`	Launch the interactive terminal UI

File-based storage: each ticket is a Markdown file with YAML frontmatter for metadata and inline --- separators for comments. Column is derived from the containing subdirectory — not duplicated in the file.
Typed, bidirectional ticket links: blocks/is_blocked_by, relates_to, duplicates/is_duplicated_by, parent_of/child_of. Writing one side automatically writes the inverse on the target ticket.
Labels and milestones as first-class ticket fields.
Column transition validation: enforces allowed moves between configured columns.
--include-archived flag on list and search to include soft-deleted tickets.

Full Trello-style terminal board rendered with ANSI box-drawing characters.
Board mode: pill/tab column headers, scrollable ticket list per column, live ? filter/search overlay, n create, e edit, a archive, D delete, c comment, L link, </> move ticket between columns, Enter open detail.
Detail mode: scrollable ticket detail view with formatted body and comments.
Editor modal: in-terminal overlay for editing all ticket fields — title, type (picker), column (picker), labels, milestones, and body. Arrow keys cycle selector values; Enter edits text fields or opens $VISUAL/$EDITOR for body.
F1 help overlay in every mode showing context-sensitive keybindings.
Auto-refresh via filesystem watching: board reloads live when ticket files change on disk (e.g. from another terminal or AI agent).
SIGWINCH handling for correct redraws on terminal resize.

dew mcp serve starts an MCP-compliant stdio server.
All kanban commands that implement the DewToolCommand mixin are automatically exposed as MCP tools — no separate registration required.
JSON Schema for each tool's input is derived directly from the command's ArgParser, so argument definitions are written exactly once.
Compiled CLI binary at .project/toolchain/bin/dew used by the MCP server to avoid stdin conflicts.

DewToolCommand mixin: mix into any DewCommand to register it simultaneously as a CLI subcommand and an MCP tool.
CommandRegistry: central registry collected at startup; MCP server reads from this registry to enumerate available tools.
DewConfig with typed extension pattern: core holds the raw YAML map; feature packages (kanban, mcp) add typed accessors via Dart extensions, keeping feature-specific config out of core.
ProjectDirs with injectable filesystem abstraction (package:file) for testable path resolution.
