Description
This PR addresses the security vulnerability where task creation relied exclusively on client-side validation. I have implemented a rigorous server-side validation layer inside the Next.js API route using Zod to sanitize required fields, enforce valid reward limits, and ensure future-date deadlines before any interaction with the ledger client happens.
Closes #66
