IMPLEMENTED: Label-based project board sync workflow
Changes:
- Created needs-board-sync label (ID: 34, orange #FFA500)
- Modified sync script to auto-add label to new non-complete issues
- Created manual workflow documentation
Why this approach:
- Gitea Projects REST API does NOT exist even in 1.25.5
- Gemini was incorrect about API availability in 1.22+
- Projects API still in development (PR #36824, targeting 1.26.0+)
- Confirmed via swagger spec: zero /projects endpoints exist
How it works:
1. Sync script creates issues with needs-board-sync label
2. Filter by label in Gitea UI
3. Drag to project board (Backlog column)
4. Remove label after syncing
5. Takes 30-60 seconds per sync session
Future automation:
When Gitea 1.26.0+ releases with Projects API, we'll modify
the sync script to use /projects/ endpoints and remove this
manual workflow.
