Inline pencil edit affordances on the card #31

Description

User story

Right now editing labels/assignees and closing/reopening are hidden in the property menu (3 dots above the widget), which is discoverable only if you know Figma conventions. As a user I want a more visible signal: a pencil icon next to each editable field on the card, directly clickable.

Scope

  • Small pencil icon (12 px, muted) appearing next to:
    • Status pill — click triggers the same close/reopen action as the property menu.
    • Labels chip row — click opens the edit modal (current openEditUI).
    • Assignees row — click opens the edit modal as well.
  • Visibility rules follow existing capabilities:
    • Status pencil only when isToggleableState(card) is true.
    • Labels pencil only when canEditFields(card).
    • Assignees pencil only when canEditAssignees(card).
  • No confirmation for the status toggle (undo by refresh / toggle back).

Feasibility

Widget API supports onClick on any AutoLayout / SVG node. No blockers.
