# Task 3: Add Order Field to Task Entity

## What to do

Add an Order field to the WorkTask entity to support manual task reordering via drag-and-drop in the frontend.

## Files to modify

- `colaflow-api/src/Modules/ProjectManagement/ColaFlow.Modules.ProjectManagement.Domain/Aggregates/ProjectAggregate/WorkTask.cs`
- `colaflow-api/src/Modules/ProjectManagement/ColaFlow.Modules.ProjectManagement.Infrastructure/Persistence/Configurations/WorkTaskConfiguration.cs`

## Implementation

### WorkTask.cs Changes

Add property:
```csharp
public int Order { get; private set; }
```

Update Create method to set default Order:
```csharp
public static WorkTask Create(TenantId tenantId, string title, string description, StoryId storyId, TaskPriority priority, UserId createdBy)
{
    // Existing validation...

    return new WorkTask
    {
        // Existing fields...
        Order = 0, // Default order
        // ...
    };
}
```

Add method:
```csharp
public void UpdateOrder(int newOrder)
{
    if (newOrder < 0)
        throw new DomainException("Task order cannot be negative");

    Order = newOrder;
    UpdatedAt = DateTime.UtcNow;
}
```

### WorkTaskConfiguration.cs Changes

Add column configuration and index:
```csharp
builder.Property(t => t.Order)
    .IsRequired()
    .HasDefaultValue(0);

builder.HasIndex(t => new { t.StoryId, t.Order })
    .HasDatabaseName("IX_Tasks_StoryId_Order");
```

## Acceptance

- [ ] WorkTask entity has Order property (int, default 0)
- [ ] Create method sets default Order to 0
- [ ] UpdateOrder method validates non-negative
- [ ] EF Core configuration includes Order column
- [ ] Composite index created (StoryId, Order)
- [ ] Code compiles successfully
- [ ] Validation tests written
- [ ] Tests passing
