+- Tasks marked with `*` are optional and can be skipped for faster MVP
+- Each task references specific requirements for traceability
+- Checkpoints ensure incremental validation throughout implementation
+- Property tests validate universal correctness properties from the design document
+- Unit tests validate specific examples and edge cases
+- Integration tests validate end-to-end workflows
+- JSDoc documentation is integrated throughout implementation tasks
+- Backward compatibility is maintained and tested explicitly
+- Performance considerations are addressed in later tasks after core functionality is complete
