Research direction
Start with client/src/components/Task/TaskModal.jsx and BoardContext, then locate the Task model mentioned in the issue. Trace how tasks are updated and supplied to the board. Done means a task can be archived from its modal and no longer appears on the board, while remaining stored.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
