Owner

Add fast Inbox capture and triage actions so users can collect task ideas with minimal input and decide what deserves attention later.

Problem

The existing Add Task dialog supports deliberate task creation, but a Things-like planner needs title-only capture into Inbox. Current task creation may apply default due or scheduled presets, which can prevent a task from staying untriaged.

Goal

Provide a planner capture row and Inbox triage controls that create true Inbox tasks and move them into planned buckets or project organization without forcing users through the full task dialog.

Scope

Add a quick-capture row or compact input to the planner.
Create title-only tasks that bypass default due/scheduled presets when capture target is Inbox.
Add Inbox triage actions for Today, Tomorrow, This Evening, Someday, Clear, Delete, and Assign Project.
Reuse existing project relation picker for Assign Project.
Add command-palette support for capture to Inbox if practical.
Add e2e coverage for capture plus at least one triage move.

Non-goals

No natural-language date parsing.
No area assignment until area metadata exists.
No recurring task creation wizard.
No replacement of the existing Add Task dialog.

Acceptance Criteria

Pressing Enter in the planner quick-capture input creates a task with only a title plus required task metadata.
Captured Inbox tasks have no scheduled date, due date, project links, area links, or explicit planner placement.
User-configured default due/scheduled presets do not prevent Inbox capture when using the planner capture path.
Inbox rows expose triage actions for the first planner slice.
Triage writes preserve unrelated frontmatter.
Existing Add Task dialog behavior remains unchanged.

Implementation Notes

Add an explicit creation option such as applyDateDefaults: false rather than changing the default createTask() path globally.
Keep validation and folder creation behavior shared with existing task creation.
Consider routing project assignment through TaskRelationPickerDialog in project mode.
