Subject: [PATCH] fix(kanban): make move-issue.sh board update failures fatal

Board update failures were swallowed as warnings (exit 0), causing agents
to believe issue moves succeeded when only the label changed but the
project board status remained stale.

- Promote "item not found on board" from WARNING to ERROR (exit 2)
- Promote "failed to update board status" from WARNING to ERROR (exit 2)
- Promote "failed to query board items" from WARNING to ERROR (exit 2)
- Stop swallowing stderr on gh project item-edit so failures are diagnosable
