Research direction

Start in client/src/components/Board/Column.jsx and check how bulk selection and the existing deleteTask function from BoardContext are used. Add the requested delete control for selected tasks, then verify that confirming deletes them and clears the selection while canceling leaves them unchanged.

Description

good first issue

Add bulk delete for selected tasks 🗑️

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

Bulk select exists to move tasks 💀
But can't bulk DELETE them fr!!

Fix: add delete button in bulk select mode:
{selectedTasks.length > 0 && (
<button
onClick={async () => {
if (window.confirm(
Delete ${selectedTasks.length} tasks?
)) {
await Promise.all(
selectedTasks.map(id => deleteTask(id))
)
setSelectedTasks([])
}
}}
className="text-xs text-red-400/60
hover:text-red-400 transition px-2 py-1
border border-red-500/20 rounded-lg">
🗑️ Delete ({selectedTasks.length})

)}

deleteTask already exists in BoardContext ✅
~10 lines! No backend changes needed 🎯
