Research direction

Start with client/src/components/Board/Column.jsx and inspect how the Done column header receives tasks and renders controls. Confirm deleteTask is available through the board context, then add the confirmation-based clear control beside the done count. Done means it appears only when the Done column has tasks, asks for confirmation, and clears those tasks after confirmation; no test is specified.

Description

good first issue

Add "Clear" link next to done count in column header 🗑️

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

Done column fills up but clear button
is only in navbar 💀 should be right
in the column header too fr!!

Fix: add clear link in Done column header:
{columnId === 'done' && tasks.length > 0 && (
<button
onClick={async () => {
if (window.confirm(
Clear all ${tasks.length} done tasks?
)) {
await Promise.all(
tasks.map(t => deleteTask(t._id))
)
}
}}
className="text-[10px] text-red-400/50
hover:text-red-400 transition">
clear

)}

deleteTask exists in BoardContext ✅
