Description

Check last task ID across all branches when creating tasks. Display branch containing latest task version in board.

Acceptance Criteria

• [x] backlog task create checks all local and remote branches for the highest task ID
• [x] New tasks use an ID greater than any found across branches
• [x] backlog board displays which branch has the latest version of each task

Implementation Plan

1. Fetch and scan .backlog/tasks across all branches to determine the max ID
2. Integrate branch detection into task creation logic
3. Update board rendering to show the branch that last modified each task

Implementation Notes

• Added listAllBranches and getFileLastModifiedBranch to src/git/operations.ts to handle git interactions across all branches.
• Modified generateNextId in src/cli.ts to use listAllBranches and listFilesInTree to find the max task ID across all local and remote branches.
• Added branch property to the Task type in src/types/index.ts.
• Moved listTasksWithMetadata from src/file-system/operations.ts to src/core/backlog.ts and enhanced it to include the branch name using getFileLastModifiedBranch.
• Updated handleBoardView in src/cli.ts to call the new core.listTasksWithMetadata method.
• Modified renderBoardTui in src/ui/board.ts to display the branch name in the task list on the board.
• Corrected a bug in src/cli.ts related to handling of repeatable options in commander.
