Route Kanban board actions to an active backend by dispatching protocol operations through a resolved projection reference, enforcing a length-1 kanban constraint while handling backend resolution and surfacing typed failure modes per action.

Dispatch eight Kanban protocol actions through a backend projection: read_board, read_card, create_card, transition_card, claim_card, release_claim, link_pr_to_card, and optionally comment_on_card, using per-projection references for invocation.

Bootstrap a Kanban backend projection by resolving the correct projection file from repository kanban settings, enabling setup capabilities to initialize the active backend before dispatching standard protocol actions.

The Kanban dispatcher supports Form A bash CLI, Form B MCP, and Form C REST/GraphQL backends, validating and routing protocol actions to the appropriate per-action procedures within the active projection reference.

Kanban protocol actions fail during backend projection dispatch when the length-1 kanban constraint is violated, backend resolution fails, or the active projection cannot execute the per-action procedure, surfacing typed failure modes to the caller.

Link a pull request to a Kanban card by dispatching the link_pr_to_card protocol action through the active backend projection, routing the invocation to the per-action procedure resolved from repository settings.
