Add annotations as JSON column on tasks table with Annotate/Denotate
methods and CLI commands. Add undo system backed by change_log with
lightweight undo_stack table (capped at 10 entries). All mutating CLI
commands (add, done, delete, modify, start, stop) now record undo
entries. Undo restores prior task state from change_log data.
Schema changes (in v1 migration):
- annotations TEXT column on tasks
- undo_stack table
- annotations field in change_log triggers

Adds a persistent --dry-run flag that shows matched tasks without
performing mutations. Supported on done, delete, modify, start, and stop
commands. Also fixes preprocessArgs to skip flag-like args when
identifying commands, preventing flags from being treated as filters.

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.

Issue 1: Fix recurrence calculation for overdue tasks
- Use completion date (End) as base for next instance, not original due date
- If task due Monday completed Wednesday, next is Wednesday+7d not Monday+7d
- Fallback to Due date if End is not set
- Update test to verify new behavior
Issue 2: Fix description parsing to work without quotes
- Add parseAddArgs() to extract description from non-modifier words
- Description = all words that don't start with +, -, or contain :
- Enables: opal add buy groceries +shop carrots → 'buy groceries carrots'
- Validate description is required (error if only modifiers)
- Validate recurring tasks require due date
Issue 3: Implement flexible command syntax
- Add preprocessArgs() to parse arguments before Cobra routing
- Detect command position and split filters (left) from modifiers (right)
- Rewrite os.Args so Cobra routes correctly
- Enable both 'opal 2 done' and 'opal done 2' syntax
- Commands without modifiers accept filters on either side
- Commands with modifiers enforce [filters] command [modifiers]
- Add confirmation for modify without filters (modifies all tasks)
All commands updated to use preprocessed ParsedArgs from context.
All tests passing (33 tests).
Phase 6: Display and Basic Commands
- Add display.go with colored formatting for tasks, projects, tags
- Implement cmd/root.go with Cobra command structure
- Implement cmd/list.go for listing and filtering tasks
- Implement cmd/add.go with support for regular and recurring tasks
- Implement cmd/done.go with bulk completion and confirmation
Phase 7: Advanced Commands
- Implement cmd/modify.go for updating task attributes
- Implement cmd/delete.go with soft delete confirmation
- Implement cmd/start.go and cmd/stop.go for task timing
- Implement cmd/count.go for counting filtered tasks
- Implement cmd/projects.go and cmd/tags.go for aggregation
Phase 8: Integration and Polish
- Update main.go to use CLI commands
- Add colored output with fatih/color
- Format task lists with proper alignment
- Highlight overdue tasks in red, upcoming in yellow
- Test end-to-end workflow: add, list, done, recurring tasks
- Verify recurrence spawning works correctly
All CLI commands functional and tested!
