Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat(kanban): convert inline-create title input to
 multiline textarea

- Changed Input component to native textarea for task creation
- Removed Enter-to-submit behavior (use Create button instead)
- Added proper styling: border, padding, rounded corners, focus ring
- 2-row default height with vertical resize and max-height cap
- Escape still cancels the form

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] fix(kanban): restore Enter=submit, Shift+Enter=newline in
 inline-create textarea

The textarea conversion in the previous commit dropped Enter-to-submit
entirely, requiring a mouse click on Create for every single-line task.
Restore the common-case shortcut while preserving multiline entry:

- Enter (no modifier) submits the form
- Shift+Enter inserts a newline
- Escape still cancels

Matches the convention used by Slack, Discord, GitHub PR comment boxes.
