}Replace one board's columns, in order, with 2 to 12 unique names. Tasks in a removed column move to the FIRST column. Blanks are dropped first, so a list normalising below two names is refused. Pro.

}Delete an empty board and give its free-tier slot back. A board still holding tasks, open or done, is refused with one named, because task_add creates boards as a side effect and the work would be lost.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| project* | string | Board to remove, e.g. 'Nova Site'. It must hold no tasks at all. |

}Add real minutes worked to one task so estimate and actual can be compared. Minutes ADD; a negative corrects an over-count. Below zero or past 100,000 is refused. This counter is the board's own.

}Change a task by id: only the fields you pass are touched. tags REPLACES the whole list, due 'none' clears it, and project moves the task to a board that already exists. Returns the task's new row.
