Description

I tried assigning a task to another user and then tried to delete it from my sent tasks table before logging in as the user I assigned the task to so I could accept the task. Since the task was never accepted. The GUI will know longer pull that task from the database no matter who is logged in. This means that there is a condition where a task can never be deleted entirely from the database, which is wasting space in the database.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the assignment and deletion flow from the sent tasks table, including deleting the task before the recipient accepts it. Inspect how the GUI removes tasks from the database and identify why this still-new task remains. Done means the task is fully deleted from the database regardless of which user performs the deletion.
