## What
Adds a new built-in workflow **Coding (Ideas)** — a capture-first
variant of the default coding pipeline that puts a manual **Ideas (no
AI)** intake in front of a merged **Todo** (planner + capacity) column.
The board becomes five stages, each staffed by a distinct role:
```
Ideas (no AI) → Todo (planner) → In-progress (coder) → In-review (reviewer) → Done
```
## Why
The current board parks un-worked cards in a passive **Todo** column
where no agent is active. Operators asked for a way to (1) capture ideas
without the engine auto-planning them, and (2) collapse the triage/todo
split so every visible column has an agent working it — planning now
happens *in* Todo. A "Ready" badge distinguishes planned cards waiting
for a capacity slot from freshly promoted unplanned ones.
## How it works
1. **Create** a task against Coding (Ideas) → it lands in **Ideas**
(`autoTriage:false` intake). The triage service ignores it — no AI runs.
2. **Start** (button on the card, or drag) moves it to **Todo**. The
triage poll discovers the unplanned card (bootstrap-stub PROMPT.md) and
plans it in place.
3. While planning the card shows **Planning**; once the spec is written
it shows **Ready** and waits for an in-progress slot under the normal
capacity hold.
4. From Todo onward the graph is identical to the default Coding
workflow (stepwise execution → optional code review → merge).
## Engine changes
| Surface | Change |
|---|---|
| `createTask` (`store.ts`) | Lands cards in the workflow's intake
column (`resolvedEntryColumn`) instead of hardcoding `"triage"`. Default
workflow is byte-identical (intake resolves to `"triage"`).
Bootstrap-prompt check generalized to all pre-planning columns. |
| Triage poll (`triage.ts`) | Also discovers unplanned `todo` tasks
(bootstrap-stub prompt); `finalizeApprovedTask` skips the redundant
triage→todo move for in-place planning; planning-concurrency counter
covers both columns. |
| Scheduler (`scheduler.ts`) | Skips `todo` tasks with
`status:"planning"` or a bootstrap-stub prompt so unplanned cards are
never dispatched. |
| TaskCard (`TaskCard.tsx`) | **Start** button on ideas cards; **Ready**
badge on planned todo tasks. |
| Board (`board-workflows.ts`) | `ideas` column label. |
All engine changes are **gated** — they only affect workflows whose
intake is not `"triage"`, so the default Coding workflow and every
existing built-in are byte-identical in behavior.
## Tests
- `builtin-coding-ideas-workflow-ir.test.ts` *(new)* — column set,
intake trait (`autoTriage:false`), merged todo traits, node re-homing
(start→ideas, planning→todo), optional-group defaults, round-trip.
- `store-create-intake-column.test.ts` *(new)* — createTask lands in
`ideas` for explicit + default selection, `triage` for the default
workflow, writes a bootstrap prompt.
- Updated `builtin-workflows.test.ts` catalog-order assertion for the
new entry.
## Verification
- Typecheck: core ✓ engine ✓ dashboard ✓
- Lint ✓ · Changeset format ✓ (`minor`)
- Merge gate (`test:gate`): 321 engine-core + 63 CI-shape ✓
- Regression suites: triage (39), concurrency (165),
movement/migration/hooks (259), builtin workflows (65), store-create
(54) — all green
- `verify:fast`: workspace build + CLI build + boot smoke (`fn --help` +
real `/api/health`) ✓

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Added a new “Coding (Ideas)” builtin workflow with an Ideas intake
stage and merged planning flow.
* Updated task cards to support a **Start** action and show a **Ready**
badge for qualifying planning-stage tasks.
* **Bug Fixes**
* Tasks created for the Ideas workflow now persist into the correct
entry column and get the right prompt bootstrapping.
* Scheduler and triage avoid promoting/releasing unplanned todo tasks
that still contain the bootstrap prompt stub, and stale planning is
cleaned up across the merged intake flow.
* **Tests**
* Added coverage for the new builtin workflow IR and create-task intake
wiring.
