See what is blocked, and what it is blocking

GitLab knows which issues block which other issues. That information was sitting in the API and nowhere on your board. Now it is on the board, in both directions.

• A card that is blocked by something shows it, with a count.
• A card that is blocking something shows that too. This is the direction people actually need and the one tools usually omit: knowing you are stuck is useful, knowing that you are the reason three other things are stuck is what changes what you do next.
• Hovering a blocked or blocking chip highlights the linked cards and draws connector lines between them, across columns. Click to pin the trail so it stays while you look at it.
• There is a Blocking filter on the board controls, beside Blocked.

Confidential issues are marked

Shipping in the same window, and overdue: GitLab confidential issues were being rendered exactly like public ones. Nothing on the card said the issue was restricted.

They are now marked as confidential on the board. An issue whose whole point is that it is not for general circulation should not look identical to one that is, particularly on a screen that is often the one being shared in a meeting.
