Feature: Add Task Persistence (Save Tasks to File) #6

Description

@Sapna700

Description

Currently, all tasks are stored in memory and are lost when the application exits. We need to implement task persistence so that tasks are saved to a file and automatically loaded when the application starts.

Goals

  • Save tasks to a JSON or pickle file
  • Automatically load tasks on startup
  • Preserve task data between sessions
  • Handle file I/O errors gracefully

Implementation Details

  • Create a TaskStorage class or module
  • Add methods to TaskPilot agent:
    • save_tasks() - Save tasks to file
    • load_tasks() - Load tasks from file
    • Auto-save on every task change
  • Use tasks.json or similar file format
  • Add error handling for file operations

Acceptance Criteria

  • ✅ Tasks persist after application closes
  • ✅ Tasks load automatically on startup
  • ✅ File I/O errors are handled gracefully
  • ✅ Unit tests added for persistence
  • ✅ README updated with persistence info

Example Usage

# Tasks are automatically saved
agent.add_task("Buy groceries")  # Saved to file

# Exit and restart app
# Tasks are automatically loaded
agent.view_tasks()  # Shows "Buy groceries"
