Subject: [PATCH] fix: task descriptions not showing for specs with compact
 markdown
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Tasks like spec 053 were missing descriptions in the kanban board and
task modal because the regex for extracting the overview from spec.md
required two newlines after "## Overview" (a blank line).

Specs generated with compact markdown (no blank line after headers)
were not matched, resulting in empty descriptions.

Changes:
- Fix regex to accept one or more newlines: /## Overview\s*\n+/
- Add fallback to read from requirements.json task_description field
- Extract meaningful content from GitHub issue descriptions
