Contract: Dashboard Phase Grouping

Goal

Group the 12 Kanban columns into 5 logical phase groups, with individual task states shown as sub-labels on cards. Also fix the header to show the project name instead of a scope indicator.

Header Fix

The scope badge currently shows "🏗 Framework" or "📁 Project" — this should be replaced with the actual project name.

Show the project name (from README.md first heading, or .automaton/project-name.md if it exists)
If no project name is found, show the project directory name
No need for scope indicators (Framework/Project mode is internal)

Column Grouping

Group	Columns	Rationale
Planning	Backlog, Research, Decomposition	Early stage — defining the problem and scope
Design	Design, Test Design	Designing the solution
Implementation	Implement	Building the solution
Verification	Bug Find, Adversarial Bug Find, Doc Review, Referee	Quality assurance and validation
Resolution	Done, Blocked	Final states

Card Display

Each card shows its specific state as a small sub-label beneath the task name:

┌──────────────────────┐
│ Implement Task       │
│ 🔄 implement         │
└──────────────────────┘

┌──────────────────────┐
│ Bad Impl             │
│ ❌ blocked           │
└──────────────────────┘

┌──────────────────────┐
│ Research Task        │
│ 🔄 research          │
└──────────────────────┘

Acceptance Criteria

Board renders 5 grouped columns instead of 12 individual columns
Cards in a column display a sub-label with their specific state (e.g., "research", "implement", "bug_find", "blocked")
Empty columns are hidden (no empty groups shown)
Column headers show the group name and total count
Column headers show a colored indicator bar for each group:
- Planning: blue (#42a5f5)
- Design: cyan (#26c6da)
- Implementation: green (#66bb6a)
- Verification: amber (#ffa726)
- Resolution: green/red (#66bb6a / #ef5350)
Grouped columns are sortable by total count (same as current board behavior)
Clicking a card still opens the detail panel with the same information
Filter bar still works with the grouped view (filter by specific state)
Statistics view shows group-level breakdowns in addition to individual states
Timeline view shows grouped phases (Planning, Design, Implementation, Verification, Resolution) instead of 12 individual states
Header shows the project name (from README.md or directory name) instead of scope indicator
Scope label no longer shows "🏗 Framework" or "📁 Project"
