## Goal
When `nbd graph` renders a node that has already been visited (a node appearing in multiple branches of the tree), it currently labels the repeat occurrence as `[cycle]`. This label is misleading — the node isn't truly in a cycle, it's simply appearing twice in the tree because it's depended on from multiple places. Change the marker to `*` to indicate "this ticket appears elsewhere in the tree".
## Current output
```
a3f9c2 [todo] Fix login bug
├── b7d41e [in_progress] Add rate limiting
│ └── c9e823 [todo] Write tests
└── c9e823 [cycle]
```
## Target output
```
a3f9c2 [todo] Fix login bug
├── b7d41e [in_progress] Add rate limiting
│ └── c9e823 [todo] Write tests
└── c9e823 *
```
## Files to change
### `src/display.rs`
In the `render_node` function (around line 409), change the cycle rendering line from:
```rust
append_line(out, &format!("{prefix}{connector}{id} [cycle]"));
```
to:
```rust
append_line(out, &format!("{prefix}{connector}{id} *"));
```
### README.md
Update the `nbd graph` section example to replace `[cycle]` with `*` in the documentation.
## Validation
```sh
cargo fmt && cargo check && cargo clippy && cargo test
# Create two tickets that share a dependency, then graph them
cargo run -- graph
```
Any test that checks for `[cycle]` in graph output needs updating to expect `*` instead.
