- Add autoExpand prop to QuickEntryBox component (defaults to true for backward compatibility)
- Pass autoExpand={false} from ListView to prevent automatic expansion on focus
- Keep board view with default auto-expand behavior
- Add test coverage for autoExpand={false} behavior
- Add changeset for patch release
