I agree on displaying card warning on lane view if:
 - there is missing acceptance criteria for a card itself
 - there are zero blueprints

I disagree on displaying card warning on lane view:
 - by trying to auto guess that a card is stuck based on blueprint
healthcheck info
 - by trying to roll up something from the deep down work item level

Remember that we want to better decouple engineering execution details from
high level steering and planning.

Also, putting a warning mark on a high level card consumed by our members
and product management should probably be a _manual_ exception process and
should come with proper explanation and potential mitigation plan.
