Planboard card dependency chains (card B blocked on card A) #251
Description
Inspired by Cline's Kanban (dependency chains between cards) and the most-requested missing feature in Vibe Kanban.
Let issues on the Planboard declare 'blocked by' relationships (GitHub's native blocked-by API or a label convention). Blocked cards are visually marked and skipped by auto-dispatch (#165) until their blockers land; unblocking can trigger dispatch automatically.

Deep-dive detail (skills ecosystem): skill-gated pipelines — thread type B cannot start until thread type A's gate artifact exists (a plan file with status Validated). The ecosystem encodes this as pleading markdown; an orchestrator can actually enforce it. Gate = file + status, mapping cleanly onto checkpoints.

Deep-dive detail (cadre.rocks): subtask umbrellas — an approved plan decomposes into sequential child tasks with chained worktrees, and the parent card shows roll-up progress. The parent-card roll-up is the piece to add to dependency chains.
