### 🎉 Archived Tasks & Unarchive Modal Implemented!

The Archived Tasks feature is fully built and integrated into your app:

---

### 🧱 What was built:

1. **Database & Data Access Layer ([src/lib/tasks.ts](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/tasks.ts))**:
   - `getArchivedTasks()`: Queries `SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE is_archived = 1`.
   - `unarchiveTask(id)`: Runs `UPDATE tasks SET is_archived = 0 WHERE id = ?`.

2. **Server Action ([src/lib/actions.ts](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/actions.ts))**:
   - `unarchiveTaskAction(id)`: Invokes `unarchiveTask(id)` and calls `revalidatePath('/')` to refresh the active board instantly.

3. **Archived Trigger Button Component ([ArchivedSection.tsx](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/components/ArchivedSection.tsx))**:
   - Renders a clean **`📦 View Archived Tasks (N)`** button on the page.

4. **Archived Modal Dialog Component ([ArchivedTasksModal.tsx](file:///c:/Users/mahla/critical_projects/SDP_Lab_1_To-do-app/src/lib/components/ArchivedTasksModal.tsx))**:
   - Displays a sleek popup listing all archived tasks with a **`↩ Unarchive`** button next to each task.
   - Clicking **Unarchive** moves the task out of archives and back onto the main active task grid.

---

### 🌐 Test It Live
- Open your browser at `http://localhost:3000`.
- Archive a task using the **Archive** button on any task card.
- Click **`📦 View Archived Tasks`** to view all archived tasks in the dialog.
- Click **`↩ Unarchive`** to restore any task back to the active board!


<USER_REQUEST>
currently the backend runs on port 3000 will it be able to detect other people's available ports or i have to update it to allow other configured ports??

### 🔌 How Next.js Handles Ports & Automatic Detection

**Short Answer:** **Yes! Next.js automatically detects occupied ports** and falls back to the next available port (e.g., `3001`, `3002`, `3003`) without breaking anything. You do **not** need to update your code.

---

### 🔍 How It Works Under the Hood

#### 1. Automatic Port Detection
When anyone runs `npm run dev` (`next dev`):
- Next.js attempts to open port `3000` by default.
- If another application (or another Next.js instance) is already using port `3000`, Next.js will print:
  ```text
  Port 3000 is in use, trying 3001 instead.
  ```
- It will automatically bind to `http://localhost:3001` (or whichever port is free).

#### 2. Why Server Actions & SQLite Never Break
In this project architecture:
- **No Hardcoded API URLs**: Your frontend components call **Server Actions** (`createTaskAction`, `archiveTaskAction`) as direct TypeScript function calls.
- **Same-Process Backend**: The SQLite database driver (`better-sqlite3`) and Next.js backend logic run inside the **same Node.js server process**.
- Because there are no hardcoded `fetch('http://localhost:3000/api/...')` strings anywhere in your app, switching to port `3001` or `8080` works seamlessly out of the box!

---

### ⚙ How Anyone Can Specify a Custom Port (Optional)

If a user or evaluator wants to force a specific port, they can pass the `-p` flag or set the `PORT` environment variable:

```bash
# Option A: Specify port flag
npm run dev -- -p 8080

# Option B: Use PORT environment variable
PORT=8080 npm run dev
```

---

### 📜 Lab Rubric & README Tip

In your `README.md` under **Running Instructions**, you can include a 1-line note for evaluators:

```markdown
## Running the Application
```bash
npm run dev
```
*Note: Next.js defaults to port `3000`. If port `3000` is in use, Next.js will automatically select the next available port (e.g. `3001`), or you can specify a custom port using `npm run dev -- -p <PORT_NUMBER>`.*
```

**Assessing Port Detection**

I'm currently focused on the user's question regarding port detection. Specifically, I'm examining how the backend, running on port 3000, will handle other users and their potentially configured ports. The crux is whether the system can automatically discover available ports or if manual configuration updates will be necessary.


<USER_REQUEST>
cool ! write a simple read me no imojies
*include description of the project ,why we used these tools and why we made some decisions ,a uml diagram of how it works ,make a documentation folder inside it create multiple readme files for db design ,relationships ,ai usage should be fully declared on the read me a list to trascripts readme all links should be accessed from the main read me

**Analyzing the Request Details**

I'm currently dissecting the user's request. My focus is on understanding the implicit requirements, such as the intended audience and level of detail needed. I'm also ensuring I grasp the scope of the project's documentation, and the preferred tone. I'm taking notes, and working to clarify any ambiguities before I start writing.

**Structuring the Documentation**

I've moved on to organizing the documentation. I'm focusing on creating the directory structure and the main README file. I will populate the main README with project description, architectural design decisions, links to the sub-files, and running instructions. Following that, I will create the individual files for database design, relationships, and AI transparency. I'm making sure all links are working and accessible. I'm being careful to exclude emojis in the content.

# Database Design Documentation

## Overview
This project uses SQLite as a local-first, single-user relational database engine via the `better-sqlite3` driver for Node.js.

## Table Schema: `tasks`

```sql
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS tasks (
    id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
    title TEXT NOT NULL,
    description TEXT,
    due_date TEXT NOT NULL,
    topic TEXT NOT NULL,
    status TEXT CHECK(status IN ('Todo','In-Progress','Complete')) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'Todo',
    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    is_archived BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT 0
);
```

## Field Specifications

| Column Name | Data Type | Constraints | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `id` | `INTEGER` | `PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT` | Unique identifier for each task record. |
| `title` | `TEXT` | `NOT NULL` | Short summary title of the task. |
| `description` | `TEXT` | Optional | Extended notes or detailed instructions for the task. |
| `due_date` | `TEXT` | `NOT NULL` | Due date formatted as ISO string (`YYYY-MM-DD`). |
| `topic` | `TEXT` | `NOT NULL` | Categorical topic tag (e.g. `SDP`, `Personal`). |
| `status` | `TEXT` | `CHECK(status IN ('Todo','In-Progress','Complete'))` | Current lifecycle state of the task. Default is `'Todo'`. |
| `created_at` | `TIMESTAMP` | `DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP` | System timestamp recorded on task creation. |
| `is_archived` | `BOOLEAN` | `DEFAULT 0` | Soft-deletion flag. `0` indicates active, `1` indicates archived. |

## Schema Design Decisions

1. Soft-Deletion (Archiving): Tasks are never permanently deleted from the database. Setting `is_archived = 1` retains all historical data while hiding archived tasks from active views.
2. Dynamic Overdue State: The database schema explicitly excludes an `is_overdue` column. Storing `is_overdue` in a database column creates stale data when dates pass. Overdue status is dynamically computed at read-time by comparing `due_date` against the current date for non-completed tasks.

# Entity Relationships and Data Lifecycle

## System Architecture Model

The application operates as a single-table relational model optimized for local-first desktop usage.

```mermaid
classDiagram
    class Task {
        +int id
        +string title
        +string description
        +string due_date
        +string topic
        +TaskStatus status
        +boolean is_archived
        +string created_at
        +boolean computeIsOverdue()
    }

    class TaskStatus {
        <<enumeration>>
        Todo
        In-Progress
        Complete
    }

    Task "1" -- "1" TaskStatus : holds
```

## State Transitions & Task Lifecycle

A task record moves through defined state transitions:

```mermaid
stateDiagram-v2
    [*] --> Todo : Task Created
    Todo --> InProgress : User updates status
    InProgress --> Complete : Task completed
    Complete --> InProgress : Reopened

    Todo --> Archived : Soft Deleted
    InProgress --> Archived : Soft Deleted
    Complete --> Archived : Soft Deleted

    Archived --> Todo : Restored (Unarchived)
```

## Overdue Derivation Logic

Overdue state is derived dynamically at query runtime using the following logic:

- Condition 1: `status !== 'Complete'`
- Condition 2: `due_date < current_date` (ISO format `YYYY-MM-DD`)

If both conditions are met, `is_overdue` evaluates to `true`. Completed or archived tasks are never marked as overdue.

**Verifying Dependencies**

I'm currently checking the project's dependencies, specifically `better-sqlite3`. I've found it's present in `node_modules` and imported in `src/lib/db.ts`. I'm now cross-referencing this with `package.json` to ensure consistency. The import statement in `db.ts` uses `import Database from 'better-sqlite3';` and I've also spotted `@types/better-sqlite3`.

# COMS3011A Lab 1: Todo App

A local-first, single-user task management application built with Next.js App Router and SQLite (`better-sqlite3`).

---

## Project Description

This project provides a task management interface designed for desktop usage. It features task creation, real-time sorting by topic, status, and due date, dynamic overdue detection, task editing, and soft-deletion (archiving) with unarchiving capabilities.

---

## Architectural Choices & Key Decisions

1. Next.js App Router (Server Components & Server Actions):
   - Server Components execute on Node.js, allowing direct SQLite queries without separate REST API setup.
   - Server Actions handle form submissions securely on the server, eliminating client-side API boilerplate.
   - Server cache revalidation (`revalidatePath('/')`) keeps UI data in sync instantly after mutations.

2. SQLite via `better-sqlite3` (Local-First):
   - Synchronous, file-based database stored directly in `todo.db`.
   - Offers low latency and zero network dependencies.

3. Dynamic Overdue State Derivation:
   - Overdue status is computed dynamically at read-time by comparing `due_date` against the current date for non-completed tasks.
   - Overdue state is intentionally excluded as a database column to prevent stale data.

4. Soft-Deletion (Archiving):
   - Tasks are never hard-deleted from SQLite. Archiving sets `is_archived = 1`, preserving historical records while enabling restoration.
