+      hardcoded `column: "triage"` from the GitHub/GitLab import writes so `createTaskImpl`
+      resolves the WORKFLOW'S intake column instead; passing `column` would override that
+      resolution and, post-U11, name a lane the default workflow no longer declares. This
+      assertion still required the removed literal, so a correct product change read as five CLI
+      failures. The mock RETURN values elsewhere in this file keep their column: what a created
+      task comes back as is a different question from what the import asks for.
