Description

Implement task viewing with bblessed for scrolling and highlighting sections.

Acceptance Criteria

• [x] Display task details in scrollable window
• [x] Support navigation between sections
• [x] Works on Node and Bun

Implementation Notes

Implemented task viewing functionality with blessed's scrollable box widget:

Key Changes:

1. Added --tui flag: Extended the existing task view command with an optional --tui flag
2. Scrollable Display: Task details are rendered in a full-screen scrollable box with vi-style navigation
3. Formatted Content: Task information is formatted as markdown-style text with proper sections

Technical Details:

• Modified the task view command handler to check for the --tui option
• When enabled, formats task data into a structured text representation including:
  • Title, ID, Status, Assignee, Reporter, Created Date
  • Labels and Parent Task ID (if applicable)
  • Full task description
• Uses the scrollableViewer() function to display content in a blessed box widget
• Supports keyboard navigation: arrow keys, j/k for scrolling, q/Escape to exit

Integration:

• Maintains backward compatibility - without --tui flag, uses the original output format
• Falls back to console.log when blessed is unavailable or not in TTY
• The implementation reuses existing task loading logic from the Core module
