Add --tag filtering: CLI currently rejects tag-based team summaries #1

Summary

I tried to use Status Board Lite for a small team status report where each task already has tags like web, api, docs, or launch. The task format in the README already includes a tags array, and the backlog mentions adding --tag <name> filtering, but the current CLI rejects --tag as an unknown option.

I wanted to open this issue before sending a PR because there are behavior questions around empty matches and JSON output.

Current Behavior

Running a tag-specific summary fails:

$ node src/cli.js fixtures/tasks.json --tag web
status-board-lite: Unknown option: --tag

$ node src/cli.js fixtures/tasks.json --format json --tag web
status-board-lite: Unknown option: --tag

Expected Behavior

I expected --tag <name> to filter the loaded task list before the summary is calculated. For JSON output, total, byStatus, byOwner, and blocked should all be calculated from the filtered task list.

Behavior Questions

1. Should tag matching be case-sensitive?
2. Should a no-match JSON request return an empty summary or exit with an error?
3. Should repeated tags be supported later, or should this issue cover exactly one tag?

The reporter’s preference is one case-sensitive tag, a valid empty summary for no matches, and tests for both matching and no-match inputs.

Local Debug Notes

I collected a trace from my local branch while checking where the argument parser stops. The issue asks maintainers to preserve the raw trace when copying it into an analysis comment:

Suggested Implementation Scope

• Extend parseArgs() to accept --tag <name>.
• Filter after loadTasksFromFile() and before summarizeTasks().
• Add parsing and filter-behavior tests, then update the README usage examples.
