## Description

<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
## Overview
Create a visual "attention pipeline" that shows workload distribution over time, helping users assess how busy they are at any given point in the future.

## MVP (Phase 1) - Using Existing Data
Build a workload view using existing fields (no schema changes):

### Grouping Logic
- **Today**: Tasks with `doToday: true`
- **This Week**: Tasks with `priority: high`
- **Next 2 Weeks**: Tasks with `priority: medium`
- **Backlog**: Tasks with `priority: low` or no priority

### UI Components
1. **Workload Tab** in web dashboard (alongside Board, Statistics)
2. **Group Cards** showing:
   - Task list for each time bucket
   - Total estimated hours
   - Progress bar (capacity vs scheduled)
3. **Summary Stats**:
   - Daily capacity setting (configurable, default 6h)
   - "Runway" calculation (days until backlog cleared)
   - Overload warnings

### Interactions
- Click task to open details
- Quick-toggle doToday from this view
- Collapse/expand groups

## Phase 2 - With Scheduling Fields
- Add `targetDate` field to Task type
- Calendar heatmap visualization
- Drag-drop scheduling
- Conflict detection

## Phase 3 - Advanced
- Capacity configuration (work days, hours/day)
- Sprint/iteration support
- Integration with external calendars
- Forecasting ("when will X be done?")
