If Board Platform is filled in, use the configured platform. If only Repo Platform is filled in (hook seed), proceed to confirm board.
The repo and the board can be on different platforms. Ask the user:
Repo detected: [Repo Platform from config, or detect from remote]
Where do you want to manage work items?
[G] GitHub Issues
[A] Azure DevOps Boards
[L] Local only (tasks.md)
If Repo Platform is azdo, suggest Azure DevOps Boards as default. If github, ask the user (it could be GitHub Issues or Azure DevOps).
Search existing work items and identify by types:
| Type found | Template |
|---|---|
| Product Backlog Item | Scrum |
| User Story | Agile |
| Issue (without PBI/US) | Basic |
| Requirement | CMMI |
If there are no work items, ask the user.
