### Anti-Patterns Found

| File | Line | Pattern | Severity | Impact |
| ---- | ---- | ------- | -------- | ------ |
| `src/components/CalendarGrid.tsx` | 105,119 | Navigation buttons don't update state | ⚠️ Warning | UI is not fully functional |
| `src/components/TaskCard.tsx` | 102-117 | Task delete only has simple button | ⚠️ Warning | No confirmation for deletion |
| `src/app/App.tsx` | 79-86 | NavigationControls component not integrated | ⚠️ Warning | Core navigation missing |
| `src/components/TaskForm.tsx` | 162,189 | Placeholder text in inputs | ⚠️ Warning | Minor UX impact |

### Human Verification Required

1. **Task Creation Workflow Test**

   **Test:** Try creating a task with all advanced features
   **Expected:** All fields should be accessible and functional
   **Why human:** Can't verify form interaction and data handling programmatically

2. **Navigation Controls Verification**

   **Test:** Click previous/next week buttons
   **Expected:** Should change the displayed week
   **Why human:** Buttons are not fully integrated with state management

3. **View Switching Capability**

   **Test:** Attempt to switch between day and week view  
   **Expected:** Should change the calendar display mode
   **Why human:** View switching is in NavigationControls but needs integration

4. **Drag and Drop Functionality**

   **Test:** Try dragging tasks between days
   **Expected:** Should be able to move tasks between days
   **Why human:** Drag functionality implemented in CalendarGrid but needs integration

5. **Reminder System Testing**

   **Test:** Set reminder and observe behavior
   **Expected:** Should show reminder badge but no actual notification
   **Why human:** Notification system is not implemented

### Gaps Summary

Phase 2 has made significant progress in implementing advanced task management features, but several key workflow improvements have not been completed. The core data models and UI components for enhanced tasks (recurring, categories, reminders, priority) are all implemented and functional.

However, the implementation falls short of achieving a truly intuitive and polished user experience for several critical reasons:

1. **Incomplete Navigation Integration**: The NavigationControls component exists but is not integrated into the main App, meaning navigation between weeks and view switching doesn't work.

2. **Partial Drag and Drop Implementation**: While drag handling is coded in CalendarGrid, it's not fully functional or integrated in the application's state management.

3. **Missing Confirmation Dialogs**: Delete operations lack confirmation prompts.

4. **Limited Recurrence Settings**: The task form has recurrence options but they're not fully functional or tied to full recurring task logic.

5. **No Calendar Event Integration**: The system does not yet support displaying calendar events alongside tasks.

6. **Insufficient UI Polish**: The interface lacks the clean, minimalist design that would make it truly intuitive.

While the phase technically implements the enhanced data structures and UI elements, the complete user experience goals have not been met due to missing integrations and incomplete workflows. The application is functional but not yet polished and fully intuitive as defined in the phase goals.
