feat(kanban): Persist categories to .automaker/categories.json

Categories are now saved to a categories.json file in the .automaker directory. This ensures categories persist even when all feature cards are deleted. The category autocomplete now shows suggestions from both existing features AND the persisted categories file. - Add persistedCategories state and load/save functions in board-view - Merge persisted categories with feature categories for suggestions - Auto-save categories when adding or editing features - Update mock Electron API to handle categories.json file Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
