🌐 Endpoints Overview

The application exposes the following routes for task management:

Method	URL	Description
GET	/tasks	Displays the main page with the list of tasks and a form to add a new task
POST	/tasks	Submits a new task to be saved to the database
GET	/tasks/delete/{id}	Deletes the task with the specified id
GET	/tasks/complete/{id}	Toggles the completion status of a task by id

---

🧭 Flow Summary

1. The home page at /tasks shows all tasks and includes the form to add one.

2. When a task is submitted via the form, it's sent as a POST to /tasks.

3. Clicking delete triggers a GET request to /tasks/delete/{id}.

4. Clicking complete triggers a GET request to /tasks/complete/{id} to toggle its status.
