feat: implement task dependencies with blocking/blocked-by relationships (#3185)

[knoxiboy]

Summary

This PR implements task dependencies with blocking/blocked-by relationships for the Kanban board. It supports adding/removing dependencies, displaying visual indicators on cards, and enforcing a drag-and-drop rule preventing blocked tasks from being moved to the final "Done" column until all blocking tasks are completed.

Closes #3185

What Changed

• Database / Schema:
  • supabase/migrations/20260715000002_add_task_dependencies.sql: Created task_dependencies join table with RLS policies, indexing, self-dependency prevention check, and a unique pair constraint.
• Backend / API:
  • src/app/api/kanban/[projectId]/route.ts: Updated GET query to fetch all task dependency mappings.
  • src/app/api/kanban/[projectId]/tasks/[taskId]/dependencies/route.ts: Created endpoints to POST (create) and DELETE (remove) task dependencies.
• Frontend / UI Components:
  • src/components/kanban/DependencyModal.tsx: Visual modal allowing users to manage task blocking relationships.
  • src/components/kanban/KanbanTaskCard.tsx: Render red "Blocked By" and indigo "Blocking" badges showing dependency statistics.
  • src/components/kanban/KanbanColumn.tsx: Calculate and propagate dependency blocker counts to individual cards.
  • src/components/kanban/KanbanBoard.tsx: Integrated drag-and-drop move verification to block dropping tasks onto the final stage if they are blocked by unfinished tasks.

How to Test

1. Navigate to a Kanban board page.
2. Create two tasks: "Write Documentation" and "Deploy Production".
3. Click the dependency link button (or click a badge) on "Deploy Production".
4. Set "Deploy Production" to be blocked by "Write Documentation" and save.
5. Attempt to drag "Deploy Production" to the final "Done" column. Verify that an alert listing the blocker appears and the card snaps back.
6. Move "Write Documentation" to "Done".
7. Drag "Deploy Production" to "Done". Verify that it is now allowed.

Thanks for the substantial effort here, but this is out of scope for DevTrack. DevTrack is a GitHub-activity analytics dashboard (contribution/streak/PR insights), not a project-management tool — and this PR is part of a ~12k-line Kanban/task-management system (boards, stages, tasks, dependencies, task notifications, activity feed) that adds a whole new product surface (/dashboard/kanban, new DB tables, new nav). That's a different product direction than the maintainer wants to take DevTrack. Closing this and the related task-management PRs. If you'd like to contribute, features that deepen the analytics side (new GitHub metrics, better visualizations, insight cards) are very welcome. (CI was also red here — Type check fails — but the scope is the main reason.)
