addTask and updateTask crash silently on API error

File: client/src/context/BoardContext.jsx

addTask() and updateTask() have NO try/catch.
If the server is down or token expires, app crashes with
unhandled promise rejection.

Fix: wrap both in try/catch and return the error
so the UI can show a toast message.

Hi, I'd like to work on this issue. Can I get it assigned to me?

Hey @omkarwarik02, assigned to you!

Here's a quick guide to get started:

File: client/src/context/BoardContext.jsx

Wrap addTask and updateTask in try/catch like this:

const addTask = async (taskData) => {
  try {
    const { data } = await axios.post('/api/tasks', taskData, authHeaders())
    setTasks((prev) => [...prev, data])
  } catch (err) {
    console.error('addTask failed:', err)
    throw err // so the UI can catch and show a toast
  }
}

Do the same for updateTask and deleteTask too if you want — that would be a bonus! 💪
