Implement `checkNeedsDexMigration()` that returns true if `.math/todo/TASKS.md` exists AND `.dex/` does not exist (or is empty). Implement `promptDexMigration()` that displays an interactive menu with three options: (1) "Port existing tasks to dex" - imports all TASKS.md tasks preserving metadata, (2) "Archive and start fresh" - moves `.math/todo/` to `.math/backups/-pre-dex/` and initializes clean dex, (3) "Exit" - prints message explaining dex is required and suggests downgrading to version 0.4.0 from package.json.

Return an enum indicating the user's choice. +- status: pending +- dependencies: add-tasks-to-dex-migration + +### add-dex-migration-execution + +- content: In `src/migrate-to-dex.ts`, implement `executeDexMigration(choice)` that performs the chosen migration action. For "port": call `dex init -y`, read TASKS.md via `parseTasks()`, import each task via `importTaskToDex()`, delete TASKS.md on success. For "archive": create timestamped backup dir, move entire `.math/todo/` there, run `dex init -y`, create fresh PROMPT.md and LEARNINGS.md. For "exit": print clear message with downgrade instructions (`bun remove @cephalization/math && bun add @cephalization/math@0.4.0`) and call `process.exit(0)`.

Import the function from `src/migrate-to-dex.ts`. Place the check in `main()` after parsing args but before the switch statement. If migration returns "exit" choice, the function already calls `process.exit(0)`. For "port" or "archive", continue to the requested command.
