Mission Control Board Packs

board.pack.example.json is a template only. It does not affect Mission Control unless you enable pack seeding and point to a real config file, then restart the stack.

Quick setup:

Copy-Item .\board.pack.example.json .\board.pack.json -Force

OPENCLAW_MISSION_CONTROL_SEED_BOARD_PACK=true
OPENCLAW_MISSION_CONTROL_BOARD_PACK_CONFIG_FILE=board.pack.json
