🎯 User Flow Example

Scenario: User wants to add a bug fix task to "Одобрено" (Approved) column

  1. User opens Kanban modal for a project (e.g., "System Monitor")
  2. User clicks "+" button in "Одобрено" column header
  3. Create Task modal opens with:
    • Title field (focused, ready to type)
    • Description textarea
    • Priority dropdown (default: "Средний")
    • Tags input
    • Status info: "Колонка: Одобрено" (displayed, not editable)
  4. User enters:
    • Title: "Fix API bug"
    • Priority: "Высокий"
  5. User clicks "Создать задачу" (or presses Ctrl+Enter)
  6. Loading state shows (spinner, disabled inputs)
  7. Backend creates task with ID like system-1772041680234-891
  8. Success toast appears: "Задача создана — 'Fix API bug' добавлена в колонку 'Одобрено'"
  9. Task appears in "Одобрено" column
  10. Modal closes, form resets

🔒 Validation & Error Handling

Client-side validation:

Server-side validation:

Error scenarios covered:

  2. ❌ Invalid status → HTTP 400: "Invalid status"
  3. ❌ Invalid priority → HTTP 400: "Invalid priority"
  4. ❌ Project not found → HTTP 404: "Project not found"
  5. ❌ File read error → HTTP 500: "Failed to read task file"
  6. ❌ File write error → HTTP 500: "Failed to save task"
  7. ❌ Network error → Toast: "Ошибка создания" + error message
