Agents were using verbose slugs because:
1. The skill file (SKILL.md) taught them to use `<slug>` in every example
2. CLI output showed slugs in parentheses rather than issue IDs
3. CLI usage strings said `<slug>` not `<ref>`
4. JSON output lacked a `ref` field, so agents parsing JSON only saw slugs
Changes:
- Add computed `ref` field to Item model (e.g. "TASK-5") in JSON output
- CLI create/update/delete/edit output now prominently shows issue IDs
- All CLI usage strings changed from `<slug>` to `<ref>`
- Issue IDs displayed in bold cyan (not dim) in list/show/grouped views
- Skill file rewritten to use issue IDs in all examples and instructions
- Dashboard API includes `item_ref`/`ref` in attention, suggestions, phases
- Search results now include item_number and collection_prefix for refs
- CLAUDE.md updated to document issue ID usage
Add fatih/color dependency for terminal color output. Status colors
(green=done, yellow=in-progress, blue=open, red=cancelled),
priority colors, item reference numbers in all list output, and
colorized status icons throughout the CLI.
Show field summary after create/update CLI commands. Make svelte-check
blocking in CI. Improve editor block handling, field editor layout,
conventions page, and minor UI consistency fixes across pages.
