Research direction

Open client/src/components/Board/KanbanBoard.jsx and find the board div, then read index.css to see where board styles belong. Add the provided scroll behavior and scrollbar styling across those two files. Done when horizontal scrolling on the board moves smoothly and the scrollbar is thin with the specified color.
