TaskYou board in bb

This plugin connects bb's TaskYou sidebar page to an existing TaskYou HTTP API. Tasks, projects, worktrees, and execution belong to TaskYou. TaskYou task IDs are integers and are unrelated to bb thread or Tasks plugin IDs.

Connection

Inspect bb plugin config taskyou. Set the URL with:

bb plugin config taskyou set apiUrl http://127.0.0.1:8484

The address is resolved on the bb server machine, not the browser or the current agent's machine. Setting changes reconnect automatically. Use bb plugin logs taskyou to diagnose a failed connection.

TaskYou must already run its API (ty serve --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8484) and its executor (ty daemon). The plugin does not start either process. For another machine, use an address reachable from the bb server over a trusted private connection. The TaskYou API grants control of task execution; do not expose it to the public internet without an authenticated gateway.

Operations

The board supports create, edit, queue, retry with feedback, and close. Changes from the CLI, TUI, or browser appear through TaskYou's event stream. Use the ordinary ty CLI for agent-driven task operations; run it on the TaskYou machine against the same database as the configured API. Check ty --help for current commands. Never write TaskYou or bb database files directly, and do not create a second copy of a task in bb's Tasks plugin.

Terminals, session attachment, manual host placement, and bb thread linkage are outside this first version. Use TaskYou's existing surfaces for them.
