Subject: [PATCH] feat(kanban-dashboard): workspace kind + path inputs in
 inline create form (#19679)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Closes #18718. Exposes the existing `workspace_kind` + `workspace_path`
fields (already accepted by POST /api/plugins/kanban/tasks) in the
dashboard's per-column inline-create form so users can create tasks
targeting a git worktree or an explicit directory without dropping
back to the CLI.

- Add a workspace-kind Select (scratch / worktree / dir) to
  InlineCreate in plugins/kanban/dashboard/dist/index.js.
- Conditionally render a workspace_path Input next to the select when
  kind != scratch; placeholder tells the user whether the path is
  required (dir) or optional (worktree — derived from assignee when
  blank).
- Submit wires `workspace_kind` / `workspace_path` into the POST body
  only when they're non-default, keeping the request shape small and
  interoperable with older dispatcher versions.

E2E verified in a dashboard pointed at the worktree: selecting dir +
typing /tmp/test-18718 produces a POST body with
{workspace_kind: 'dir', workspace_path: '/tmp/test-18718'} and the
task lands in sqlite with those fields set. 42/42 kanban dashboard
plugin tests pass.
