Description

Gemini was last trying to implement a cli Client for Google tasks. The goal was to have a rich CLI like what you would get with ncurses or bubble tea with the ability to manage tasks including list create update delete and mark as complete. We ran into an issue when trying to authenticate with the users credentials. We created an oauth client but we kept getting rejected with 400 invalid request. Can you take a look and get the command gtask list to work ? I can provide a credentials.json Let me know if you have any clarifying questions.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Inspect the OAuth flow in src/gtasks/auth.py. The 400 error suggests a misconfigured redirect uri. Remove redirect uri from InstalledAppFlow and ensure token.json is properly stored and refreshed.
