feat(kanban): add specify — auxiliary LLM fleshes out triage tasks (#21435)
* feat(kanban): add `specify` — auxiliary LLM fleshes out triage tasks

The Triage column shipped with a placeholder 'a specifier will flesh
out the spec', but the specifier itself was never built. This wires
it up as a dedicated CLI verb.

`hermes kanban specify <id>` calls the auxiliary LLM (configured under
`auxiliary.triage_specifier`) to expand a rough one-liner into a
concrete spec — tightened title plus a body with Goal / Approach /
Acceptance criteria / Out-of-scope sections — then atomically flips
`status: triage -> todo` and recomputes ready so parent-free tasks
go straight to the dispatcher on the same tick.

Surface:

  hermes kanban specify <task_id>               # single task
  hermes kanban specify --all [--tenant T]      # sweep triage column
  hermes kanban specify ... --author NAME       # audit-comment author
  hermes kanban specify ... --json              # one JSON line per task

Design choices:

  - Parent gating is preserved. specify_triage_task flips to 'todo',
    then recompute_ready promotes to 'ready' only when parents are
    done — same rule as a normal parent-gated todo.
  - No daemon, no background watcher. Every invocation is explicit —
    keeps cost predictable and doesn't fight the dispatcher loop.
  - Response parse is lenient: strict JSON preferred, markdown-fence
    tolerated, raw-body fallback on malformed JSON so the LLM can't
    strand a task in triage.
  - All failure modes (no aux client, API error, task moved out of
    triage mid-call) return SpecifyOutcome(ok=False, reason=...) so
    --all continues past individual failures.

Changes:

  hermes_cli/kanban_db.py    + specify_triage_task()
  hermes_cli/kanban_specify.py  NEW (~220 LOC — prompt, parse, call)
  hermes_cli/kanban.py       + specify subcommand + _cmd_specify
  hermes_cli/config.py       + auxiliary.triage_specifier task slot
  website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md  specify + config notes
  website/docs/reference/cli-commands.md      CLI reference entry
  tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_specify_db.py    NEW (10 tests)
  tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_specify.py       NEW (20 tests)

Validation: 30/30 targeted tests pass. E2E: triage task -> specify ->
ends in 'ready' with events [created, specified, promoted] and the
audit comment recorded under the configured author.

* feat(kanban): wire specifier into dashboard and gateway slash

Follow-ups to the initial PR #21435 — closes the two gaps I'd left as
post-merge: dashboard button and first-class gateway surface.

Dashboard (plugins/kanban/dashboard/)
  - POST /tasks/:id/specify  NEW endpoint. Thin wrapper around
    kanban_specify.specify_task(). Returns the CLI outcome shape
    ({ok, task_id, reason, new_title}); ok=false with a human reason
    is a 200, not a 4xx, so the UI can render it inline without
    treating 'no aux client configured' as a crash.
  - Runs sync in FastAPI's threadpool because the LLM call can take
    tens of seconds on reasoning models.
  - Pins HERMES_KANBAN_BOARD around the specify call so the module's
    argless kb.connect() lands on the right board.
  - dist/index.js: doSpecify callback threaded through the drawer →
    TaskDetail → StatusActions prop chain.  Specify button appears
    ONLY when task.status === 'triage' (elsewhere the backend would
    reject anyway — hide the button to keep the action row clean).
    Busy state (Specifying…) + inline success/error banner under the
    button using the response.reason text.
  - dist/style.css: tiny hermes-kanban-msg-ok / -err classes using
    existing --color vars so themes reskin cleanly.

Gateway slash (/kanban specify)
  - Already works via the existing run_slash → build_parser →
    kanban_command pipeline. No code change needed — slash commands
    inherit the argparse tree automatically. Added coverage:
    test_run_slash_specify_end_to_end (create --triage, specify, verify
    promotion + retitle) and test_run_slash_specify_help_is_reachable.

Tests
  - tests/plugins/test_kanban_dashboard_plugin.py: 3 new tests for the
    REST endpoint — happy path, non-triage rejection as ok=false 200,
    missing aux client as ok=false 200.
  - tests/hermes_cli/test_kanban_cli.py: 2 new slash-surface tests.

Docs
  - website/docs/user-guide/features/kanban.md: dashboard action row
    description mentions  Specify + all three surfaces. REST table
    gains /tasks/:id/specify. Slash examples include /kanban specify.

Validation: 340/340 targeted tests pass. E2E via TestClient: create a
triage task over REST → POST /specify with mocked aux client → task
moves to 'ready' column on /board with new title and body applied.
