Research direction

Start by reading the tags input in client/src/components/Task/TaskModal.jsx and checking its existing layout and styling. Update the placeholder and add the specified comma/Enter helper text; done means the task modal shows both clearly without any backend changes.

Description

good first issue

Improve tags input placeholder with examples 🏷️

File: client/src/components/Task/TaskModal.jsx

Tags placeholder just says
"Tags (comma separated)" 💀
New users don't know what to type fr!!

Fix: make placeholder more helpful:
// BEFORE
placeholder="Tags (comma separated: react, api, bug)"

// AFTER
placeholder="e.g. bug, frontend, api, auth"

// also add helper text below:

Separate tags with commas · Press Enter to add

~3 lines! No backend needed 🎯
Better onboarding for new users!! ✨
