Puzzle Overview

TaskFlow's platform CLI (`taskflowctl`) wraps kubectl so engineers can list workloads without memorizing every flag. Today `taskflowctl pods` returns an empty list, yet `kubectl -n taskflow get pods` clearly shows a Running `api` pod.

Something about how the CLI chooses its namespace is wrong. Your job: inspect the CLI (source under `/opt/taskflowctl/` and/or `/etc/taskflowctl.conf`), fix it so `taskflowctl pods` lists the `api` pod, and leave kubectl alone — the cluster itself is fine.
