API handlers were populating SetAttributes directly without appending to
AttributeOrder. Since Apply() only iterates AttributeOrder, all updates
via PUT/POST were silently dropped — causing edits to revert and tasks
to disappear on reload.
Adds Modifier.Set() helper, safety net in Apply()/ApplyToNew(), adds
description and status to applyNonDateAttribute, and fixes the
recurrence->recur key mismatch.

Extract shared code that was duplicated across functions:
- taskJSON struct (MarshalJSON/UnmarshalJSON) to package-level type
- scanTask(scanner) helper for GetTask/GetTasks (~70 identical lines)
- monthNames map for parseMonthName/parseDayAndMonth
- applyNonDateAttribute helper for Apply/ApplyToNew
- resolveDisplayID calls replace inline loops in FormatTaskListWithFormat
Replace O(n²) bubble sorts with sort.Slice in all four report sort
functions (sortByUrgency, NewestReport, NextReport, OldestReport).
Remove dead code: formatTimeWithColor (unused, also used time.Now()
instead of timeNow()), getCurrentTimestamp (unnecessary wrapper).
Remove ~20 comments that restated the next line of code.

IMP-5: Replace strings.Contains(arg, ":") heuristic with an allowlist
of recognized attribute keys (ValidAttributeKeys). Colons in task
descriptions (URLs, "Meeting: topic") are no longer misinterpreted as
modifiers. Canonical key sets live in engine/keys.go and are shared
across parseAddArgs, ParseFilter, and ParseModifier. ParseModifier now
errors on unknown keys.
IMP-4: delete command now loads the working set and resolves display IDs
via GetTaskByDisplayID, matching the pattern used by done/modify.
IMP-6: All action commands (done, delete, modify, start, stop) now
return an error on no-match (stderr, exit 1). Previously done/delete
printed to stdout and exited 0; start/stop had no check at all.
Also adds requirements and design docs for the CLI UX improvements.

- Add parseRelativeExpression() to detect pattern: attr+/-duration
- Add resolveDateValue() to resolve absolute or relative dates
- Add applyDateAttribute() helper for date attributes with relative support
- Track attribute order in Modifier struct (AttributeOrder field)
- Refactor Apply() and ApplyToNew() to process attrs in order
- Support chaining: due:mon scheduled:due-3d wait:scheduled-1d
- Support addition and subtraction: due+1y, wait-2d
- Add comprehensive test suite for relative expressions
- Error if referencing undefined date attribute
- All 38+ tests passing
