description	Assign due dates to Todoist tasks in batch. Walks the user through each undated task and applies their choice.

Assign Dates

Steps

1. Read config. Todoist MCP alias.

2. Get the working set. Either handed in from review-missing-dates, or freshly queried (default: all open undated tasks).

3. Walk the list interactively. For each task, prompt for:

   • Specific date / datetime, or
   • Natural-language string Todoist parses ("next Monday", "in 3 days"), or
   • Skip (leave undated — explicitly someday/maybe)

   Support batch shortcuts: "all in Project X → next Friday", "all priority 1 → tomorrow".

4. Confirm the assignment table.

5. Apply serially via Todoist MCP. Collect failures.

6. Report per-task result.

Notes

• Use defaults.timezone for date interpretation.
• Don't infer dates from task content automatically — the user picks.
