Design-polish pass — a consistency follow-up to #207 (the new-project composer), addressing the same LLM-panel gap on the board's inline "Add task" composer.

When a column's "Add task" button expands, it became a bare "Task title" input with no create-cue and no submit button — arguably worse than the project composer: it read like a search field, and the only way to submit was pressing Enter (undiscoverable).

Fix (CSS + small markup, tokens only)

Mirrored the #207 treatment so the two composers are consistent:

  • Persistent accent "+" icon at the start → clearly a create action.
  • A visible "Add" button (disabled until there's text) so submitting is discoverable, not Enter-only.
  • Placeholder "Task title" → "Name the task".

Before → after

Both create composers (project + task) now read unmistakably as create rather than search. Full quality gate green; presentational-only. Verified against the sandbox (AWS_PROFILE=personal).
