fix(board): review findings in the archive cap, drag path and docs

[lymanzhao]

Nine findings from a review pass over the kanban board that shipped in #339.

Correctness

• The Unlimited archive limit rendered an empty Archived column: recentArchived sliced a non-finite limit to zero while the badge showed the full count.
• A task archived, deleted or moved project mid-drag let the drop handler merge dead ids into the store's task list, so a live card vanished from tasks, or undefined itself did and the next render threw.
• The reorder preview was keyed by projectId alone, so every other same-project group applied it, rendered zero cards, and lit a drop ring for the whole drag.
• The preview and its ring were never cleared when the pointer left the origin group, so the drop-lands-here signal outlived the gesture it described.
• The Inactive rail lit every row on any settle/createPr target, instead of only the row whose column the hovered command belongs to.
• boardLanes counted a task whose project had left the profile, forcing agent dividers onto columns whose visible cards were a single agent.
• The custom archive-limit input stored 0 when cleared (Number("") is 0), emptying the Archived column mid-edit and sticking a 0 back into the field.
• docs/ui.md said project sub-headers hide on single-project groups and that exactly two drags are wired; the code always renders the headers and wires four commands.

Performance

• setDrag wrote a fresh snapshot per pointermove and nothing in the board tree was memoized, so a drag reconciled every column, group and card at input frequency in WKWebView.
• Columns, groups and cards are memo-ized now, ctx/workPrefs/handlers are identity-stable, and the four drop targets are module singletons, so a move that only moves the ghost re-renders BoardView itself and stops there.

Testing

• tsc -b clean.
• npm test 2561 passing, including new unit cases for the Infinity slice, the resolver-to-render bridge, and mergeReorderedGroup.
• Rebuilt e2e binary: board spec 8/8, settings spec 101/101 (fresh seed).
• Manually verified by the author before opening.
• The drag-path fixes (preview keying, stale-id snap-back) are covered by the existing reorder/snap-back/rail e2e cases only; the multi-agent-same-column blanking regression has no automated test of its own.

All nine findings are real and correctly fixed, but ctx in BoardView is still a plain object literal instead of being memoized, so it changes identity on every pointermove and defeats the memoization this PR's performance section relies on. Wrap it in useMemo over [agents, useBranchAsTaskName, workPrefs] before merging. Thanks for the contribution!

Verified locally on top of main (9ce447e): clean merge (only docs/ui.md auto-merged), tsc -b clean, npm test 2568 passing, board spec 8/8 and settings spec 101/101 on a rebuilt e2e binary with a fresh seed.

The three findings that land in code I wrote are all real, and the rail one is the sharpest:
each row of the Inactive column carries its own data-board-cell/data-column so hiding a column never takes its command with it,
and I never checked that only the hovered row lights up.
Making each DragTarget a module singleton whose kind names exactly one column fixes the highlight and the identity churn in one move, which is the right shape.

mergeReorderedGroup returning null rather than writing a stale merge is the correct call.
Worth noting it also covers the empty-preview case: previewIds.every(...) is vacuously true on [], and inserted then stays false, so that returns null too.

Thanks for going back over your own feature this carefully, the memoization pass especially.

Merged. Thank you for this one in particular: going back over your own feature with this much rigour is rarer than writing it in the first place, and seven of the nine findings are things a reviewer reading the diff cold would not have caught.

The rail finding is the one I am most glad you chased.
Each row of the Inactive column carries its own data-board-cell/data-column precisely so that hiding a column never takes its command with it, and I never checked that only the hovered row lights up.
Turning each DragTarget into a module singleton whose kind names exactly one column fixes the highlight and the identity churn in the same move, which is the right shape rather than a patch over the symptom.

I picked up the gap you flagged yourself, the same-project multi-lane blanking, in 150628d.
It needed a new e2e primitive: the evidence does not survive the gesture, since pointerup clears the preview and the cards come back, so a whole-gesture drag sees a correct board before and after.
pointerDrag now takes hold, which stops one event short and leaves the pointer down, and pointerRelease finishes it over a non-target so nothing is written.
The case holds a drag in one lane and asserts the project's other lane in the same column still renders its card.

Confirmed by control rather than by the suite going green: re-keying the preview on projectId alone makes that case, and only that case, fail with the other lane rendering [].
Worth mentioning that my first control attempt passed with the bug supposedly reinstated, because the patch script used str.replace and silently matched nothing.

One small note on mergeReorderedGroup, not a change request: returning null rather than writing a stale merge is the right call, and it also covers the empty-preview case for free.
previewIds.every(...) is vacuously true on [], inserted then stays false, and that returns null too.

Verified before merging: clean merge onto main, tsc -b clean, npm test 2568 passing, board spec 8/8 and settings 101/101 on a rebuilt e2e binary.
