# T-167: Kanban UI creature comforts — equal columns, full-width, project label right, status refresh

## Context

Batch of 4 kanban UI tweaks to improve screen real estate at 1920x1080.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [x] Kanban columns equal 25% width (minmax(0, 1fr))
- [x] Full-width layout overriding Pico container max-width
- [x] Project name label moved to right side of ambient strip
- [x] Auto-refresh board on status change with scroll to top
- [x] Compact cards (reduced padding, ellipsis truncation)
- [x] Completed column capped at 10 with "+N more" link
- [x] Compact page header (title + count + toggle inline)

## Verification

curl -sf http://localhost:3000/tasks?view=board | grep -q "tasks-page-header"
curl -sf http://localhost:3000/tasks?view=board | grep -q "minmax(0, 1fr)"
curl -sf http://localhost:3000/tasks?view=board | grep -q "scrollTo(0, 0)"
curl -sf http://localhost:3000/tasks?view=board | grep -q "+152 more"
