Add a kanban column (swimlane) to a 'todo' board. Generates and returns a stable column id. sort is a float ordering key (ascending); omit to default to 0. lane is an integer row index for multi-row layouts (defaults to 0). color is an optional title color ('red' / 'blue' / 'green', or 'auto' / omit for default). To rename, reorder, recolor or move between lanes later use update_column.
