feat(T1.4): implement board state validation and auto-healing

- Add internal/board package with validation and state tracking
- Implement BoardValidator for comprehensive board file validation
- Detect missing headers, malformed tables, invalid task IDs
- Validate status fields ([x] or [ ])
- Parse task information from valid boards
- Implement StateTracker for actual task state management
- Track task progression (pending → in_progress → completed/failed)
- Support task metrics attachment and analytics
- Implement divergence detection: compare board vs actual states
- Implement auto-healing: fix state mismatches between board and reality
- RepairBoard() fixes structural corruption issues
- HealDivergence() updates board to match actual states
- Support both JSON persistence and in-memory operation

Validation Features:
- Detailed error reporting with line numbers and context
- Warning system for suspicious but valid boards
- Task ID format validation (T#.# pattern)
- Status value normalization ([X] → [x])
- Table structure verification

State Management:
- Persistent JSON storage of task states
- Completion/failure timestamps
- Custom metrics per task
- Thread-safe RWMutex synchronization
- Stats and filtering operations

Healing Features:
- Non-destructive repairs (report changes)
- Board integrity preservation
- Divergence detection with timestamps
- Batch update capability
- Change tracking for audit trail

Test Coverage:
- 13 validator tests (structure, validation, repair, parsing)
- 16 state tracker tests (tracking, persistence, analytics)
- 29 total board tests, all passing
- Edge cases: empty boards, invalid formats, multiple tasks
- Multi-state transitions and metrics

Key Design:
- Separation of concerns: Validator (format) vs Tracker (state)
- JSON persistence (human-readable, debuggable)
- Thread-safe concurrent state updates
- Detailed error messages with context
- Non-breaking repairs (safe by default)

Closes T1.4

+# T1.4: Board State Validation & Auto-Healing
+
+**Submilestone:** T1 (Production Hardening)
+**Status:** ✅ COMPLETE  
+**Branch:** `task/T1.4`
+
+## Overview
+
+Implement comprehensive board file validation and automatic corruption recovery to detect and fix inconsistencies between board file state and actual workflow state, preventing manual intervention and ensuring data integrity.
+
+## Requirements
+
+### Board Validation
+
+- Validate markdown structure (headers, table format)
+- Check task ID format (T1.1, T1.2, etc.)
+- Validate status fields ([x] or [ ])
+- Detect malformed rows and missing columns
+- Generate detailed error and warning reports
+- Parse task information from valid boards
+
+### Corruption Detection
+
+- Detect divergence between board file and actual task states
+- Track state mismatches (expected vs actual)
+- Support timestamp-based divergence tracking
+- Identify missing or invalid task entries
+
+### Auto-Healing
+
+- Repair missing markdown headers
+- Fix malformed status values
+- Add missing table separators
+- Correct invalid task IDs
+- Heal divergences by syncing board with actual states
+- Preserve task information during repairs
+
+### State Tracking
+
+- Persist actual task states to JSON
+- Track task progression (pending → in_progress → completed/failed)
+- Store task metrics alongside state
+- Support multi-task concurrent state updates
+- Generate statistics and completion reports
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Internal Package: `internal/board`
+
+#### `validator.go`
+- `BoardValidationError` - Validation error with type, message, line number
+- `BoardValidator` - Core validation and healing engine
+- `TaskRow` - Parsed task from board file
+- Methods:
+  - `ValidateBoard()` - Full board structure validation
+  - `ParseTasks()` - Extract tasks from valid boards
+  - `DetectDivergence()` - Find state mismatches
+  - `HealDivergence()` - Auto-fix state mismatches
+  - `RepairBoard()` - Fix structural issues
+  - Error/warning tracking and reporting
+- 13/13 unit tests passing ✅
+
+#### `state.go`
+- `TaskState` - Actual task state (status, completion time, metrics)
+- `StateTracker` - Manage actual task states
+- Methods:
+  - `UpdateTaskState()` - Record task status change
+  - `GetTaskState()` / `GetAllStates()` - Retrieve states
+  - `GetCompletedTasks()` / `GetFailedTasks()` / `GetPendingTasks()` - Filter by status
+  - `AddMetric()` - Attach metrics to tasks
+  - `GetAsCompletionMap()` - Boolean map for comparison
+  - `GetStats()` / `GetLastUpdate()` - Analytics
+  - `Load()` - Persistence from JSON
+  - `Reset()` - Clear all state
+- 16/16 unit tests passing ✅
+
+#### Unit Tests: `*_test.go`
+- 29 tests total, all passing ✅
+- Validator: parsing, validation, repair, divergence detection/healing
+- State: tracking, filtering, persistence, metrics
+- Integration: multi-task scenarios, state transitions
+
+## Key Features
+
+### Validation Pipeline
+
+```
+Board File Content
+    ↓
+[Check Structure]
+    ├─ Has title header
+    ├─ Has table separator
+    └─ Has task rows
+    ↓
+[Validate Each Task]
+    ├─ Valid task ID format (T#.# or T#)
+    ├─ Valid status ([x] or [ ])
+    ├─ No missing columns
+    └─ Reasonable description
+    ↓
+[Report Results]
+    ├─ Errors (validation failed)
+    └─ Warnings (suspicious but valid)
+```
+
+### Corruption Healing
+
+```go
+// Board has T1.1, T1.2, T1.3, T1.4
+// Actual states: T1.1=done, T1.2=done, T1.3=pending, T1.4=done
+// Board shows:   T1.1=done, T1.2=pending, T1.3=pending, T1.4=pending
+
+actualStates := map[string]bool{
+    "T1.1": true,  "T1.2": true,
+    "T1.3": false, "T1.4": true,
+}
+
+divergences := validator.DetectDivergence(boardContent, actualStates)
+// Finds: T1.2 (expected false, actual true), T1.4 (expected false, actual true)
+
+healed, changes := validator.HealDivergence(boardContent, actualStates)
+// Fixes: Updates T1.2 and T1.4 status in board file
+// Changes: ["Fixed T1.2: [ ] → [x]", "Fixed T1.4: [ ] → [x]"]
+```
+
+### State Tracking
+
+```go
+// Initialize state tracker
+tracker := NewStateTracker("/var/poimen")
+
+// Record task progress
+tracker.UpdateTaskState("T1.1", "in_progress", "task/T1.1", nil)
+tracker.AddMetric("T1.1", "lines_changed", 1247)
+tracker.AddMetric("T1.1", "files_modified", 15)
+
+// Later, task completes
+tracker.UpdateTaskState("T1.1", "completed", "task/T1.1", nil)
+
+// Query states
+completed := tracker.GetCompletedTasks() // ["T1.1", ...]
+stats := tracker.GetStats()
+// {"total": 4, "counts": {"completed": 1, "pending": 3}}
+
+// Persist and recover
+tracker.Load() // From disk
+```
+
+### Board Repair Examples

+
+✅ AFTER: Separator added
+| ID | Scope | Status | Branch |
+|----|-------|--------|--------|
+| T1.1 | Task | [x] | branch |

+}
+```
+
+## Kubernetes Integration
+
+With board healing:
+
+```yaml
+# Board state persisted in shared volume
+volumeMounts:
+- name: board
+  mountPath: /var/poimen/board
+
+# State accessible across pod restarts
+volumes:
+- name: board
+  persistentVolumeClaim:
+    claimName: poimen-board
+
+# Liveness check includes board validation
+livenessProbe:
+  exec:
+    command:
+    - /bin/sh
+    - -c
+    - |
+      validator validate /var/poimen/board/board.md || exit 1
+```
+
+## Configuration Example
+
+```go
+// Initialize validator and tracker
+validator := NewBoardValidator("/var/poimen/board")
+tracker := NewStateTracker("/var/poimen")
+
+// Load existing state from previous run
+if err := tracker.Load(); err != nil {
+    log.Printf("Warning: could not load previous state: %v", err)
+}
+
+// During workflow execution
+boardContent, _ := ioutil.ReadFile("/var/poimen/board/board.md")
+
+// Validate board
+if !validator.ValidateBoard(string(boardContent)) {
+    log.Printf("Board validation errors: %s", validator.ErrorSummary())
+    
+    // Attempt repair
+    repaired, _ := validator.RepairBoard(string(boardContent))
+    ioutil.WriteFile("/var/poimen/board/board.md", []byte(repaired), 0644)
+}
+
+// Track task progress
+for _, taskID := range tasksToRun {
+    tracker.UpdateTaskState(taskID, "in_progress", fmt.Sprintf("task/%s", taskID), nil)
+    
+    // ... execute task ...
+    
+    if taskSuccess {
+        tracker.UpdateTaskState(taskID, "completed", fmt.Sprintf("task/%s", taskID), nil)
+    } else {
+        tracker.UpdateTaskState(taskID, "failed", fmt.Sprintf("task/%s", taskID), taskErr)
+    }
+}
+
+// Detect and heal divergence
+actualStates := tracker.GetAsCompletionMap()
+divergences := validator.DetectDivergence(string(boardContent), actualStates)
+
+if len(divergences) > 0 {
+    log.Printf("Detected %d divergences, healing...", len(divergences))
+    healed, changes := validator.HealDivergence(string(boardContent), actualStates)
+    
+    for _, change := range changes {
+        log.Printf("Fixed: %s", change)
+    }
+    
+    ioutil.WriteFile("/var/poimen/board/board.md", []byte(healed), 0644)
+}
+
+// Persist state for next run
+_ = tracker.Load()
+```
+
+## Validation Algorithm
+
+```
+Board Validation
+    ↓
+[1] Check Presence
+    ├─ Has markdown header ("#")
+    └─ Has table separator ("---")
+    ↓
+[2] Find Task Table
+    ├─ Locate header row (| ID | ... |)
+    ├─ Skip separator
+    └─ Find first data row
+    ↓
+[3] Validate Each Row
+    ├─ Check column count
+    ├─ Validate task ID (T#.# format)
+    ├─ Validate status ([x] or [ ])
+    └─ Warn on missing/empty fields
+    ↓
+[4] Generate Report
+    ├─ Collect all errors
+    ├─ Collect all warnings
+    └─ Return validation result (pass/fail)
+```
+
+## Healing Algorithm
+
+```
+Divergence Healing
+    ↓
+[1] Compare States
+    ├─ Board expected: [x] or [ ]
+    └─ Actual state: true or false
+    ↓
+[2] Find Mismatches
+    ├─ Board ≠ Actual: need fix
+    └─ Board = Actual: OK
+    ↓
+[3] Update Board
+    ├─ Replace [x] with [ ] or vice versa
+    ├─ Track changes made
+    └─ Preserve all other fields
+    ↓
+[4] Report Changes
+    ├─ List updated tasks
+    ├─ Show old → new status
+    └─ Ready to write to disk
+```

+## Files Changed
+
+- ✅ `internal/board/validator.go` - Board validation and healing (378 lines)
+- ✅ `internal/board/validator_test.go` - Validator tests (224 lines)
+- ✅ `internal/board/state.go` - State tracking (195 lines)
+- ✅ `internal/board/state_test.go` - State tests (229 lines)
+- ✅ `tasks/board-T1.md` - Task board update
+
+## Dependencies
+
+All internal, no new external dependencies added.
+
+## Key Design Decisions
+
+1. **Separate Validator & Tracker** - Validation (format) vs State (semantics)
+2. **JSON Persistence** - Human-readable, easy to inspect/debug
+3. **Non-destructive Repairs** - Try to fix, report changes, allow rollback
+4. **Detailed Error Reporting** - Line numbers, context, suggestions
+5. **Thread-Safe State** - RWMutex for concurrent access
+6. **Status Normalization** - [X] → [x] for consistency
+
+## Future Extensions
+
+- Git integration: auto-commit healed boards
+- Webhook notifications on divergence
+- Historical divergence tracking
+- Predictive healing (forecast issues)
+- Multi-branch board tracking
+- Board diffs and change logs
+
+## Next Steps (T1.5 → T1.6 → T1.7)

+1. **T1.5:** Workflow pause/resume with state snapshots
+2. **T1.6:** Comprehensive integration tests for concurrency
+3. **T1.7:** Audit logging (immutable decision log)
+
+## Notes
+
+- Board must have at least header and one task row
+- Task IDs must match format: T# or T#.#
+- Status values are case-insensitive during repair ([X] becomes [x])
+- Validation reports are detailed and actionable
+- State tracking is optional (validator works standalone)
+- Both validator and tracker are thread-safe
+- Perfect for container/K8s environments with restart policies
