## Request

  - `kind` 'backlog' | 'active' | 'review' | 'done'

## Response `200`

- ProjectColumn: One column of a project's board. Columns belong to the project — Atako imposes no global set of states — so `kind` is how the rest of the interface knows which column means finished without hard-coding a name.
