Subject: [PATCH] fix(windows): handle redirected stdout in _cprint fallback

Wraps _pt_print in try/except with a print() fallback. When a
kanban worker's stdout is piped to a log file, prompt_toolkit
raises NoConsoleScreenBufferError (Windows) or OSError (other)
because there is no real console buffer. The fallback keeps
worker output flowing instead of crashing.
