Description

backlog board view fails on Windows with an error similar to:

ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\a\Backlog.md\Backlog.md\node_modules\blessed\usr\xterm'

The compiled CLI looks for blessed's terminfo files relative to the build path. When installed globally, this path does not exist. Disable blessed's Tput initialization by passing tput: false when creating screens so board and other UI screens work without terminfo files.

Acceptance Criteria

• [x] All blessed.screen calls use { tput: false }
• [x] Windows build runs backlog board view without ENOENT errors
• [x] Tests updated and passing

Implementation Notes

• Disabled Tput in every screen creation to avoid missing terminfo files on Windows.
• Updated line-wrapping.test.ts to pass { tput: false } when creating screens.
• Verified the board view works on Windows without ENOENT errors.
• UPDATE: The migration to bblessed (github:context-labs/bblessed) provides better cross-platform support and eliminates the need for terminfo patches entirely.
