```python
from flask import Flask, request, jsonify
import json

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.route("/webhook/trello", methods=["HEAD", "POST"])
def trello_webhook():
    # HEAD request is for webhook verification
    if request.method == "HEAD":
        return "", 200

    # Process webhook payload
    data = request.json

    action = data.get("action", {})
    action_type = action.get("type")

    print(f"Received Trello webhook: {action_type}")

    # Handle different action types
    if action_type == "createCard":
        handle_card_created(action)
    elif action_type == "updateCard":
        handle_card_updated(action)
    elif action_type == "moveCardToBoard":
        handle_card_moved(action)
    elif action_type == "addMemberToCard":
        handle_member_assigned(action)
    elif action_type == "commentCard":
        handle_comment_added(action)
    elif action_type == "updateCheckItemStateOnCard":
        handle_checklist_item_updated(action)

    return jsonify({"status": "ok"})


def handle_card_created(action):
    card_data = action.get("data", {}).get("card", {})
    print(f"Card created: {card_data.get('name')}")


def handle_card_updated(action):
    card_data = action.get("data", {}).get("card", {})
    old_data = action.get("data", {}).get("old", {})
    print(f"Card updated: {card_data.get('name')}")

    # Check if moved to different list
    if "idList" in old_data:
        list_after = action.get("data", {}).get("listAfter", {})
        list_before = action.get("data", {}).get("listBefore", {})
        print(f"  Moved from '{list_before.get('name')}' to '{list_after.get('name')}'")


def handle_card_moved(action):
    card_data = action.get("data", {}).get("card", {})
    print(f"Card moved to different board: {card_data.get('name')}")

    print(f"Member {member_data.get('username')} assigned to: {card_data.get('name')}")


def handle_comment_added(action):
    card_data = action.get("data", {}).get("card", {})
    text = action.get("data", {}).get("text", "")
    print(f"Comment on {card_data.get('name')}: {text[:100]}")


def handle_checklist_item_updated(action):
    card_data = action.get("data", {}).get("card", {})
    item = action.get("data", {}).get("checkItem", {})
