Deck read tools returned too many tokens to be usable as boards grow — even
deck_get_stacks(description_max_length=1) exceeded the MCP token limit because
every card was fully serialized in list views.
- Add compact projection models (DeckCardSummary, DeckCommentSummary,
StackOverview, BoardOverviewResponse) and a uniform detail="summary"|"full"
knob (summary default) on deck_get_cards / get_stacks / get_stack /
get_archived_stacks.
- Add pre-serialization filtering: status (open/done/archived/all), label,
assigned_to.
- Add deck_get_board_overview: board title + label legend + stacks with
compact card rows + counts in a single call.
- Compact comments: detail / message_max_length / newest-first order on
deck_get_card_comments.
- Docs + unit/integration tests.
BREAKING CHANGE: deck list tools now default to detail="summary" and
status="open". The include_archived_cards parameter is replaced by status
(use status="all" to include archived cards); pass detail="full" to restore
the previous per-card shape.

- Wrap raw DeckComment returns in CardCommentResponse(BaseResponse) for
create/update so the success/timestamp envelope matches other deck tools
(#737 review issue 2).
- Rename ListCardCommentsResponse.total → count and clarify in the
description that it's the page size, not a server-side total — the Deck
list endpoint does not expose one (#737 review issue 3).
- Validate the documented 1000-character limit on create/update with an
inline length check + ValueError, matching the pattern in
api/management.py (#737 review issue 4).
- Use modern int | None union syntax for the new parent_id parameter
(#737 review issue 1); rest of the file is left in the existing
Optional[...] style.
Also add an MCP-level test that the >1000 char message is rejected, and
update the existing comment tests to unwrap the new comment field.

Cover full CRUD lifecycle (create → list → update → delete → verify gone)
and the reply path where parent_id populates replyTo on the new comment.
Tests run against the live mcp container via the existing nc_mcp_client
fixture and reuse the temporary_board_with_card fixture for setup/cleanup.
