## 🎯 Task Priority Levels

Both TUI and Dashboard support identical priority classifications:

```
Critical (🔴) - Highest priority, needs immediate attention
High (🟠)     - Important, should be completed soon
Medium (🟡)   - Standard priority (default)
Low (🟢)      - Can be deferred
```

### Priority Sorting Behavior

- **Highest Priority Sort**: Critical → High → Medium → Low
- **Lowest Priority Sort**: Low → Medium → High → Critical
- **Default Priority**: Medium (applied to tasks without explicit priority)

---

## 🏷️ Task Type Classifications

Both TUI and Dashboard recognize six task type categories:

| Type | Icon | Purpose | Use Case |
|------|------|---------|----------|
| Feature | ⭐ | New feature implementation | Building new capabilities |
| BugFix | 🐛 | Bug fixes and patches | Fixing issues and regressions |
| Documentation | 📚 | Documentation and guides | Writing docs and guides |
| Testing | ✔ | Testing and QA tasks | Quality assurance work |
| Deployment | 🚀 | Deployment and release | Release management |
| Maintenance | 🔧 | Maintenance and updates | Ongoing maintenance work |

### Default Task Type

When a task doesn't specify a type, it defaults to **Feature**.

## 📈 Statistics Calculation

### Real-time Metrics

Both TUI and Dashboard continuously calculate:

1. **Total Tasks**: Sum of all tasks in a project
   ```
   Total = Count(all tasks)
   ```

2. **Completed Count**: Tasks marked as done
   ```
   Completed = Count(tasks where completed == true)
   ```

3. **Pending Count**: Tasks not yet completed
   ```
   Pending = Total - Completed
   ```

4. **Completion Percentage**: Project progress indicator
   ```
   Percentage = (Completed / Total) × 100
   ```

5. **Progress Bar**: Visual representation
   - Filled: █ (completed)
   - Empty: ░ (pending)

### Example Calculation

For a project with 10 tasks (7 completed, 3 pending):
```
Total:           10
Completed:       7
Pending:         3
Completion %:    70.0%
Progress Bar:    [███████░░]
```

## 🔄 Implementation Details

### Data Models

Both TUI and Dashboard use identical data structures:

```rust
struct ChecklistItemDto {
    id: String,
    task_id: String,
    description: String,
    completed: bool,
    completed_at: Option<String>,
    created_at: String,
    priority: TaskPriority,        // Added in Phase 12
    task_type: TaskType,           // Added in Phase 12
}

enum TaskPriority {
    Critical,
    High,
    Medium,
    Low,
}

enum TaskType {
    Feature,
    BugFix,
    Documentation,
    Testing,
    Deployment,
    Maintenance,
}
```

### Backward Compatibility

Both applications use `#[serde(default)]` attributes on new fields, ensuring compatibility with older API versions that don't return priority/type information.

### Sorting Implementation

Type-safe sorting using Rust enums:

```rust
pub(crate) enum TaskSortOption {
    CreatedNewest,
    CreatedOldest,
    PriorityHighest,
    PriorityLowest,
    CompletedFirst,
    PendingFirst,
}
```
