fest promote

Promote a festival to the next lifecycle status

Promote moves a festival through the lifecycle: planning → ready → active → completed.

Each transition validates readiness: planning → ready: Festival goal must be defined ready → active: Festival is ready to begin execution active → completed: All tasks must be completed

Use --dungeon to send a festival directly to a dungeon status:

  fest promote --dungeon someday     Shelve for later

  fest promote --dungeon completed   Mark as completed (skips task validation)
