Board Kanban ASCII WIP

A kanban board drawn as box-drawing frames, each column header showing its card count against its WIP limit; going over turns the frame accent and appends the overflow count, mid-drag, before you release.

Use when a kanban or triage board where each column's work-in-progress limit must be readable in the header and visibly crossed while a card is still in the air; pick reorder-drag-wake instead when there is a single vertical list and the interest is the physics of neighbours shouldering aside rather than a per-column capacity signal, or queue-triage-ratchet when items advance through one queue rather than moving between columns.
