## ✅ Verification

Test the script is working:

```bash
# 1. Check help
python3 tools/project-management/populate-kanban.py --help

# 2. Dry run with 3 issues

## 🔧 Troubleshooting

### Not Authenticated?
```bash
gh auth status
gh auth login
```

### Project Not Found?

2. **Triage** - Review and adjust priorities as needed
3. **Assign** - Assign issues to team members
4. **Milestone** - Group issues for releases
5. **Labels** - Add custom labels (bug, etc.) if needed
