Switched from cargo-llvm-cov to grcov for coverage reporting —
covdir output gives per-file breakdown and a machine-readable
total for the threshold check. Excluded bin/ from coverage since
CLI code is exercised by integration tests, not unit tests.

Added tests for uncovered paths (move_task to end, get_by_id,
ambiguous key prefix, edit title only). Marked structurally
unreachable code with cov-excl-line. Dropped custom assert format
strings in position tests to avoid phantom uncovered lines.

CI now installs grcov + just and runs `just clippy coverage`.

+100% line coverage is enforced for library code (`src/`, excluding `src/bin/`). When adding code, make sure every line is exercised by tests.
+
+To find uncovered lines, use the markdown output:
+
+```bash
+grcov target/coverage --binary-path ./target/debug/ -s . -t markdown \
+    --keep-only 'src/**' --ignore 'src/bin/**' \

+Use `// cov-excl-line` for structurally unreachable code (e.g., `unreachable!()` after exhaustive loops). Use `// cov-excl-start` / `// cov-excl-stop` for blocks. Avoid custom format strings in test `assert!` macros — they create phantom uncovered lines.
