A phase is a card that lists its cards

`**Type:** Phase` plus a `## Cards` section is the whole model. The phase
card is the only authority on membership: it lists its members in run
order, and a member's phase and position are derived from that list
rather than stored on the member — one direction, one place to edit.

- taskfiles.py reads the section (numbers only; `31`, `#31` and `031` are
  one card, indented lines are a member's own continuation) and parses
  `Depends on` at last, into the numbers it names. Nothing acts on it:
  the list says what runs next, the line says whether it may.
- collect() weaves the board: members resolved in document order, each
  member given its phase and 3/5 position. What will not resolve is
  flagged rather than skipped — a number no card has, a card two phases
  both list (both flagged), a card listed twice, a line naming no number,
  a phase listed by a phase.
- board.html gives a member card a `⟶ <phase> 3/5` chip in the footer
  row beside CI and PR ↗, opening the phase card, and wears phase drift
  as a pill next to status drift.

Nothing runs yet — no branch, no launches, no advancing.

"""A phase is a card that lists its cards (task 48).
`**Type:** Phase` plus a `## Cards` section is the whole model: the phase
card is the only authority on membership, a member's phase and position
are derived from it, and what the list does not resolve is flagged rather
than skipped. These tests run `taskfiles.collect()` over a throwaway
tasks/ directory — the same reading the board does on every request — and
then hold board.html to rendering what that reading produces.
