Description

good first issue

Warn when In Progress column exceeds 5 tasks ⚠️

File: client/src/components/Board/Column.jsx

WIP limits are a core Kanban principle 💀
Too many tasks in progress kills focus fr!!

Fix:
const WIP_LIMIT = 5
const isOverLimit = columnId === 'inprogress'
&& tasks.length > WIP_LIMIT

{isOverLimit && (

⚠️ WIP limit exceeded! ({tasks.length}/{WIP_LIMIT}) )}

~8 lines! No backend needed 🎯
Real Kanban methodology!! 🔥
