Create a task (card) in a column on a 'todo' board. Generates and returns a stable task id. column_id must reference an existing column (see list_tasks). description is free-form prose stored on the card; priority is one of 'H' | 'M' | 'L' (omit for none); due_date is an ISO 8601 date string; assignee is free text (name / initials / email). sort is a float ordering key within the column (ascending), defaulting to 0.
