 8. **Task Reopening:** Added a "Reopen task" button to restore accidentally closed tasks back to the queue.
 9. **User Management (Settings):** Built backend API endpoints (`POST`, `PATCH`, `DELETE` for `/users`) and wired up the `WorkspaceTab` allowing Admins to manage the team from the UI.
 10. **Task Editing:** Implemented inline editing for task descriptions using an active text box state with "Save/Cancel" actions.
+11. **UI Cleanup:** Removed hardcoded, prototype placeholder notes from the `TaskDetail` modal to prepare for future dynamic notes integration.
+12. **Permanent Deletion:** Added a "Delete task permanently" button to the `TaskDetail` sidebar with a confirmation dialog, backed by a new `DELETE /tasks/{id}` API endpoint.
 
 ### Phase 3: Advanced Features
 - **Real-time Notifications:** Explore WebSockets for task assignments.
