Unreleased

Published a CLI patch release that restores the dew executable metadata for dart pub global activate dew.

Added dew infra for project infrastructure service discovery, validation, configuration payloads, initialization payloads, lifecycle control, status, logs, and cleanup.
Added Podman Quadlet runtime support with a runtime boundary for future container backends.
Added manifest, configure, and init JSON Schema handling for infrastructure services.
Added sample infrastructure services for PostgreSQL 18, Valkey, RustFS, Keycloak, pods, networks, volumes, and local image builds.
Exposed every dew infra CLI path through Dew MCP tools, including path-specific configure/init tools.

Extended MCP tool discovery so commands can provide extra path-specific tools beyond one tool per subcommand.
Raised package versions to 0.4.0 for the infra release.
Cleaned existing analyzer info findings in kanban and vault ahead of release.

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.
