Restores default task types, statuses, and work activities to their original state when Leadtime was first installed.

**What gets restored:**
- Default task types (Feature, Bug, etc.) are reset to original configuration
- Default task statuses (New, In Progress, Feedback, Done, Closed, Backlog) are reset
- Default work activities are reset

**Options:**
- `keepCustom: false`: All custom task types, statuses, and activities are removed
- `keepCustom: true`: Custom items are preserved, but default items are reset

**Important:** This action cannot be undone. All customizations to default items will be lost.

**Use case:** Use this when you want to start fresh with default configurations or when customizations have become too complex.
