Hydrate pseudo columns on card output

[tahadx]

Fixes #202

Problem

Cards sitting in Fizzy's built-in lanes — Maybe, Not Now, Done — have no real column, so the API returns an empty column object ({"id":"","name":""}). The CLI passed that through verbatim, leaving --json consumers without a usable column id or name:

"column": { "created_at": "", "id": "", "name": "" }

Upstream behavior confirmed in basecamp/fizzy#2596 and basecamp/fizzy#3017; the API is unlikely to change soon, so this hydrates client-side.

Fix

When a card payload arrives with an empty column.id, infer its lane from fields the API already provides and emit the same pseudo-column shape that fizzy column list prints:

• closed == true → Done (done, kind closed)
• postponed == true → Not Now (not-now, kind not_now)
• otherwise published → Maybe (maybe, kind triage)
• drafts belong to no lane upstream and are left untouched

"column": { "id": "maybe", "name": "Maybe?", "kind": "triage", "pseudo": true }

The inference is safe because the states are mutually exclusive upstream: closing a card destroys its not_now record, and postponing clears its column. Hydrated ids round-trip back into the CLI (fizzy card column <n> --column maybe).

Applied to: card show, card list, search, and board stream/closed/postponed.

Testing

• New unit tests in internal/commands/pseudocolumns_test.go: per-lane inference, closed-over-postponed precedence, draft/real-column/unknown-payload no-ops, list handling, plus command-level tests for card show and card list.
• make fmt-check vet tidy-check and make race-test (includes TestSurfaceSnapshot) pass; no CLI surface change.

Summary by cubic

Hydrates pseudo columns on card output so JSON always includes a usable column id/name. Previously, cards in built-in lanes (Maybe, Not Now, Done) returned an empty column; now the CLI infers the lane and emits the same pseudo-column shape as column list.

• Inference: closed → Done (done, kind closed); postponed → Not Now (not-now, kind not_now); published → Maybe (maybe, kind triage). Drafts and cards with a real column are unchanged.
• Applied to: card show, card list, search, board stream, board closed, board postponed.
• Output shape example: {"id":"maybe","name":"Maybe?","kind":"triage","pseudo":true}; supports round-trip via fizzy card column <n> --column maybe.
• Safety: upstream states are mutually exclusive; closed takes precedence over postponed.
• Migration: none. JSON consumers can rely on column.id for built-in lanes.
