Problem

Filtering by status requires the verbose --filter status=X. Common patterns like listing only backlog or only completed tickets should have ergonomic shortcuts.

Sub-commands to add (positional arg to list)

Accept an optional positional <status> argument to nbd list:

nbd list backlog     # equivalent to: nbd list --filter status=backlog
nbd list closed      # equivalent to: nbd list --filter status=closed
nbd list completed   # equivalent to: nbd list --filter status=done
nbd list todo        # equivalent to: nbd list --filter status=todo
nbd list in_progress # equivalent to: nbd list --filter status=in_progress

Note: completed is an alias for done (avoids the awkward nbd list done).

Implementation

src/main.rs — Commands::List

Add an optional positional argument status to the List variant:

List {
    status: Option<String>,      // new: positional shorthand
    filter: Vec<String>,
    all: bool,
}

In cmd_list, when status is Some(s):

• Map "completed"" → "done", others pass through
• Treat it as if the caller had passed --filter status=<s>
• The explicit --filter and --all flags should still override as today

If both status and --filter status=... are given, merge them (OR behaviour within the status group, consistent with TicketFilter).

tests/integration.rs

Add tests for each status shorthand.
