Description

Review the CLI for other prompts or text UIs and migrate them to bblessed.

Acceptance Criteria

• [x] Identify remaining prompt-based interactions
• [x] Replace them with bblessed equivalents
• [x] Ensure consistent styling across commands

Implementation Notes

Completed comprehensive audit and migration of all terminal UI elements:

Audit Results:

1. Init Command: Successfully migrated all prompts (project name, reporter, agent files)
2. View Commands: Added --tui flags to task, doc, and board view commands
3. Other Commands: No other interactive prompts found in the codebase

Key Findings:

• The CLI was primarily using readline for the init command prompts
• The prompts package was only used in the init command
• All other commands use simple console output or command-line arguments
• No additional interactive elements required migration

Consistency Achieved:

1. Unified TUI Module: All blessed interactions go through src/ui/tui.ts
2. Consistent Fallback: All functions gracefully degrade when blessed is unavailable
3. Standardized Key Bindings:
   • Enter to confirm
   • Escape/Ctrl+C to cancel
   • Arrow keys/j/k for navigation in scrollable views
   • Space for selection in multi-select

Package Changes:

• Removed prompts package dependency entirely
• Added blessed package as the single TUI dependency
• Created type definitions to handle optional availability

Testing Coverage:

• All existing tests continue to pass
• The fallback mechanisms ensure tests run without blessed installed
• Both Node.js and Bun environments are fully supported
