-## Overview
-
-Tasks can be linked to multiple types of entities to establish context and relationships:
-- **Decisions:** Track which architectural decisions relate to this task
-- **Constraints:** Associate performance/security/architecture constraints
-- **Files:** Connect to modified files for context
-- **Task Dependencies:** Blocking relationships between tasks (NEW in 3.2.0)
-
-**Benefits of Linking:**
-- **Context Preservation:** See related decisions/constraints/files when viewing task
-- **Traceability:** Track which tasks implement which decisions
-- **Impact Analysis:** Find tasks affected by constraint changes
-- **Code Navigation:** Jump to files related to a task
-
-## Link Types
-
-### Available Link Types
-
-| Link Type | Target Entity | Required Parameter | Example |
-|-----------|--------------|-------------------|---------|
-| `decision` | Context Decision | `link_key` (string) | `"auth_method"` |
-| `constraint` | System Constraint | `link_id` (number) | `5` |
-| `file` | File Path | `link_path` (string) | `"/src/auth/jwt.ts"` |
-
-### Basic Syntax
-
-```javascript
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 1,
-  link_type: "decision" | "constraint" | "file",
-  // Type-specific parameter:
-  link_key: "...",    // For decision
-  link_id: 123,       // For constraint
-  link_path: "..."    // For file
-}
-```
-
-## Decision Links
-
-### When to Use
-
-Link tasks to decisions when:
-- Task implements an architectural decision
-- Task is affected by a design choice
-- Task needs context from a decision document
-
-### Examples
-
-**Linking to Authentication Decision:**
-```javascript
-// Decision exists: auth_method = "JWT with refresh tokens"
-
-// Task: Implement JWT authentication
-{
-  action: "create",
-  title: "Implement JWT authentication",
-  description: "Add JWT-based auth with refresh token support",
-  priority: "high",
-  tags: ["security", "authentication"],
-  layer: "business"
-}
-// Returns: { task_id: 1 }
-
-// Link to decision
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 1,
-  link_type: "decision",
-  link_key: "auth_method"
-}
-```
-
-**Multiple Decision Links:**
-```javascript
-// Task affects multiple decisions
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 1,
-  link_type: "decision",
-  link_key: "auth_method"
-}
-
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 1,
-  link_type: "decision",
-  link_key: "jwt_secret_rotation"
-}
-
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 1,
-  link_type: "decision",
-  link_key: "token_expiry_time"
-}
-```
-
-### Use Cases
-
-**Implementation Task:**
-```javascript
-// Decision: Use PostgreSQL for database
-// Task: Setup PostgreSQL database
-
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 5,
-  link_type: "decision",
-  link_key: "database_choice"
-}
-```
-
-**Refactoring Task:**
-```javascript
-// Decision: Migrate from REST to GraphQL
-// Task: Refactor API endpoints to GraphQL
-
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 8,
-  link_type: "decision",
-  link_key: "api_architecture"
-}
-```
-
-**Investigation Task:**
-```javascript
-// Decision: Evaluate caching strategies
-// Task: Research Redis vs Memcached
-
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 12,
-  link_type: "decision",
-  link_key: "caching_strategy"
-}
-```
-
-## Constraint Links
-
-### When to Use
-
-Link tasks to constraints when:
-- Task addresses a performance/security/architecture constraint
-- Task is blocked by a constraint
-- Task validates constraint compliance
-
-### Examples
-
-**Performance Constraint:**
-```javascript
-// Constraint exists: "API response time <100ms" (ID: 5)
-
-// Task: Optimize database queries
-{
-  action: "create",
-  title: "Optimize database queries for user listing",
-  description: "Reduce query time from 250ms to <100ms",
-  priority: "high",
-  tags: ["performance", "database"],
-  layer: "data"
-}
-// Returns: { task_id: 2 }
-
-// Link to constraint
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 2,
-  link_type: "constraint",
-  link_id: 5
-}
-```
-
-**Security Constraint:**
-```javascript
-// Constraint exists: "All API endpoints must use HTTPS" (ID: 8)
-
-// Task: Enforce HTTPS on all routes
-{
-  action: "create",
-  title: "Enforce HTTPS on all API routes",
-  priority: "critical",
-  tags: ["security", "api"],
-  layer: "infrastructure"
-}
-// Returns: { task_id: 3 }
-
-// Link to constraint
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 3,
-  link_type: "constraint",
-  link_id: 8
-}
-```
-
-**Architecture Constraint:**
-```javascript
-// Constraint exists: "Frontend must be framework-agnostic" (ID: 12)
-
-// Task: Refactor to Web Components
-{
-  action: "create",
-  title: "Migrate UI to Web Components",
-  description: "Replace framework-specific code with Web Components",
-  priority: "medium",
-  tags: ["refactoring", "architecture"],
-  layer: "presentation"
-}
-// Returns: { task_id: 7 }
-
-// Link to constraint
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 7,
-  link_type: "constraint",
-  link_id: 12
-}
-```
-
-### Use Cases
-
-**Compliance Task:**
-```javascript
-// Constraint: GDPR data retention policy
-// Task: Implement data deletion workflow
-
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 15,
-  link_type: "constraint",
-  link_id: 22
-}
-```
-
-**Blocker Resolution:**
-```javascript
-// Constraint: Database schema must be finalized
-// Task: Implement user service (blocked until schema ready)
-
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 18,
-  link_type: "constraint",
-  link_id: 25
-}
-```
-
-## File Links
-
-### When to Use
-
-Link tasks to files when:
-- Task modifies specific files
-- Task is scoped to certain modules
-- Task affects file structure
-
-### Examples
-
-**Single File Link:**
-```javascript
-// Task: Refactor JWT authentication module
-{
-  action: "create",
-  title: "Refactor JWT authentication module",
-  description: "Extract token generation to separate utility",
-  priority: "medium",
-  tags: ["refactoring", "authentication"],
-  layer: "business"
-}
-// Returns: { task_id: 4 }
-
-// Link to file
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 4,
-  link_type: "file",
-  link_path: "/src/auth/jwt.ts"
-}
-```
-
-**Multiple File Links:**
-```javascript
-// Task: Implement user authentication flow
-{
-  action: "create",
-  title: "Implement user authentication flow",
-  description: "Complete end-to-end authentication with JWT",
-  priority: "high",
-  tags: ["feature", "authentication"],
-  layer: "business"
-}
-// Returns: { task_id: 6 }
-
-// Link to multiple files
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 6,
-  link_type: "file",
-  link_path: "/src/auth/jwt.ts"
-}
-
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 6,
-  link_type: "file",
-  link_path: "/src/auth/middleware.ts"
-}
-
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 6,
-  link_type: "file",
-  link_path: "/src/routes/auth.ts"
-}
-
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 6,
-  link_type: "file",
-  link_path: "/src/models/user.ts"
-}
-```
-
-### Use Cases
-
-**Feature Implementation:**
-```javascript
-// Task: Add password reset functionality
-// Files: password-reset controller, email service, user model
-
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 10,
-  link_type: "file",
-  link_path: "/src/controllers/password-reset.ts"
-}
-
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 10,
-  link_type: "file",
-  link_path: "/src/services/email.ts"
-}
-
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 10,
-  link_type: "file",
-  link_path: "/src/models/user.ts"
-}
-```
-
-**Bug Fix:**
-```javascript
-// Task: Fix memory leak in WebSocket handler
-// File: WebSocket handler
-
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 14,
-  link_type: "file",
-  link_path: "/src/websocket/handler.ts"
-}
-```
-
-**Refactoring:**
-```javascript
-// Task: Extract shared utilities
-// Files: Multiple files being refactored
-
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 20,
-  link_type: "file",
-  link_path: "/src/utils/validation.ts"
-}
-
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 20,
-  link_type: "file",
-  link_path: "/src/utils/formatting.ts"
-}
-```
-
-## Task-to-Task Dependencies
-
-**NEW in v3.2.0:** Task dependencies are fundamentally different from other link types. While decision/constraint/file links provide **reference context**, task dependencies enforce **blocking relationships** for workflow coordination.
-
-### Key Differences
-
-| Aspect | Decision/Constraint/File Links | Task Dependencies |
-|--------|-------------------------------|-------------------|
-| **Purpose** | Reference context | Workflow coordination |
-| **Relationship** | Informational | Blocking (enforced) |
-| **Action Used** | `link` | `add_dependency` / `remove_dependency` |
-| **Direction** | One-way reference | Directional blocking |
-| **Validation** | Entity existence | Circular detection, archived check |
-| **Query Method** | Via `get` action | Via `get_dependencies` action |
-
-### When to Use Dependencies vs Links
-
-**Use Task Dependencies For:**
-- Sequential technical requirements (DB schema before ORM)
-- Ordered feature rollout (API before UI)
-- Hard blockers (auth must complete before protected routes)
-- Cross-layer dependencies (data → business → presentation)
-
-**Use Decision/Constraint/File Links For:**
-- Documenting architectural decisions related to task
-- Associating performance/security requirements
-- Tracking modified files for context
-- Reference material (not blocking)
-
-### Dependency Examples
-
-**Creating Dependencies:**
-```javascript
-// Task #1: Implement authentication
-{action: "create", title: "Implement JWT auth"}
-// Returns: {task_id: 1}
-
-// Task #2: Add user profile (depends on auth)
-{action: "create", title: "Add user profile page"}
-// Returns: {task_id: 2}
-
-// Add dependency (auth blocks profile)
-{
-  action: "add_dependency",
-  blocker_task_id: 1,
-  blocked_task_id: 2
-}
-// Task #2 cannot proceed until Task #1 is done
-```
-
-**Combining Dependencies with Links:**
-```javascript
-// Create infrastructure task
-{action: "create", title: "Setup PostgreSQL", layer: "data"}
-// Returns: {task_id: 10}
-
-// Link to decision (context)
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 10,
-  link_type: "decision",
-  link_key: "database_choice"
-}
-
-// Create dependent task
-{action: "create", title: "Create user schema", layer: "data"}
-// Returns: {task_id: 11}
-
-// Add dependency (PostgreSQL must be setup first)
-{
-  action: "add_dependency",
-  blocker_task_id: 10,
-  blocked_task_id: 11
-}
-
-// Result:
-// - Task #11 has context link to "database_choice" decision
-// - Task #11 is blocked by Task #10 (cannot start until DB setup)
-```
-
-**Querying Dependencies:**
-```javascript
-// Get what's blocking a task
-{
-  action: "get_dependencies",
-  task_id: 2
-}
-// Returns:
-// {
-//   task_id: 2,
-//   blockers: [1],    // Task #1 blocks this
-//   blocking: []      // This doesn't block anything
-// }
-
-// Get full task with all links AND dependencies
-{
-  action: "get",
-  task_id: 2,
-  include_dependencies: true
-}
-// Returns:
-// {
-//   task_id: 2,
-//   title: "Add user profile page",
-//   // ... other fields ...
-//   dependencies: {
-//     blockers: [1],
-//     blocking: []
-//   },
-//   decision_links: ["auth_method"],
-//   constraint_links: [],
-//   file_links: []
-// }
-```
-
-### Validation Rules
-
-Task dependencies have strict validation to prevent workflow deadlocks:
-
-1. **No Self-Dependencies**: Task cannot block itself
-2. **No Circular Dependencies**: Direct or transitive cycles rejected
-3. **Both Tasks Exist**: Blocker and blocked tasks must exist
-4. **Neither Archived**: Archived tasks cannot participate in dependencies
-
-**Example: Circular Detection**
-```javascript
-// Existing: Task #1 blocks Task #2
-// Existing: Task #2 blocks Task #3
-
-// ❌ Invalid (creates cycle)
-{
-  action: "add_dependency",
-  blocker_task_id: 3,
-  blocked_task_id: 1
-}
-// Error: "Circular dependency detected: Task #3 → 1 → 2 → 3"
-```
-
-### CASCADE Deletion
-
-When a task is deleted, all its dependencies are automatically removed:
-
-```javascript
-// Before:
-// Task #1 blocks Task #2
-// Task #1 blocks Task #3
-
-// Delete Task #1
-{action: "archive", task_id: 1}
-
-// After:
-// Dependencies automatically removed
-// Task #2 and #3 are now unblocked
-```
-
-### Best Practices
-
-**DO:**
-- Use dependencies for hard technical blockers
-- Keep dependency chains short (2-5 levels)
-- Use `get_dependencies` to visualize chains before adding
-- Combine with decision/constraint links for full context
-
-**DON'T:**
-- Use dependencies for organizational preferences
-- Create dense dependency graphs (many-to-many)
-- Use dependencies for parallel/independent features
-- Forget to remove dependencies when tasks complete
-

-
-## Querying Links
-
-### Get Task with Links
-
-**Using `get` action:**
-```javascript
-{
-  action: "get",
-  task_id: 1
-}
-
-// Response includes all links
-{
-  task_id: 1,
-  title: "Implement JWT authentication",
-  description: "Add JWT-based auth with refresh token support",
-  status: "in_progress",
-  priority: "high",
-  assignee: "auth-agent",
-  layer: "business",
-  tags: ["security", "authentication"],
-  created_ts: 1697545200,
-  updated_ts: 1697545800,
-  decision_links: ["auth_method", "jwt_secret_rotation"],
-  constraint_links: [5, 8],
-  file_links: ["/src/auth/jwt.ts", "/src/auth/middleware.ts"]
-}
-```
-
-### Find Tasks by Link (SQL)
-
-**Tasks Linked to Specific Decision:**
-```sql
-SELECT t.* FROM t_tasks t
-JOIN t_task_decision_links tdl ON t.task_id = tdl.task_id
-JOIN m_context_keys ck ON tdl.decision_key_id = ck.key_id
-WHERE ck.key_name = 'auth_method';
-```
-
-**Tasks Linked to Specific Constraint:**
-```sql
-SELECT t.* FROM t_tasks t
-JOIN t_task_constraint_links tcl ON t.task_id = tcl.task_id
-WHERE tcl.constraint_id = 5;
-```
-
-**Tasks Linked to Specific File:**
-```sql
-SELECT t.* FROM t_tasks t
-JOIN t_task_file_links tfl ON t.task_id = tfl.task_id
-JOIN m_files f ON tfl.file_id = f.file_id
-WHERE f.file_path = '/src/auth/jwt.ts';
-```
-
-**All Links for a Task:**
-```sql
--- Decision links
-SELECT ck.key_name FROM t_task_decision_links tdl
-JOIN m_context_keys ck ON tdl.decision_key_id = ck.key_id
-WHERE tdl.task_id = 1;
-
--- Constraint links
-SELECT constraint_id FROM t_task_constraint_links
-WHERE task_id = 1;
-
--- File links
-SELECT f.file_path FROM t_task_file_links tfl
-JOIN m_files f ON tfl.file_id = f.file_id
-WHERE tfl.task_id = 1;
-```
-
-## Linking Strategies
-
-### 1. Link-as-You-Go
-
-Create task and immediately link to context:
-
-```javascript
-// Step 1: Create task
-const task = {
-  action: "create",
-  title: "Implement caching layer",
-  description: "Add Redis-based caching for API responses",
-  priority: "high",
-  tags: ["performance", "caching"],
-  layer: "infrastructure"
-};
-// Returns: { task_id: 25 }
-
-// Step 2: Link to decision
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 25,
-  link_type: "decision",
-  link_key: "caching_strategy"
-}
-
-// Step 3: Link to constraint
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 25,
-  link_type: "constraint",
-  link_id: 5  // "API response time <100ms"
-}
-
-// Step 4: Link to files
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 25,
-  link_type: "file",
-  link_path: "/src/cache/redis.ts"
-}
-```
-
-### 2. Batch Linking
-
-Link task to multiple entities at once:
-
-```javascript
-// Create task
-{ action: "create", title: "...", ... }
-// Returns: { task_id: 30 }
-
-// Batch link decisions
-const decisions = ["auth_method", "jwt_secret", "token_expiry"];
-decisions.forEach(key => {
-  {
-    action: "link",
-    task_id: 30,
-    link_type: "decision",
-    link_key: key
-  }
-});
-
-// Batch link files
-const files = ["/src/auth/jwt.ts", "/src/auth/middleware.ts"];
-files.forEach(path => {
-  {
-    action: "link",
-    task_id: 30,
-    link_type: "file",
-    link_path: path
-  }
-});
-```
-
-### 3. Progressive Linking
-
-Add links as task evolves:
-
-```javascript
-// Day 1: Create task
-{ action: "create", title: "Optimize API performance" }
-// Returns: { task_id: 35 }
-
-// Day 2: Link to constraint (discovered during work)
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 35,
-  link_type: "constraint",
-  link_id: 5
-}
-
-// Day 3: Link to files (as they're modified)
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 35,
-  link_type: "file",
-  link_path: "/src/api/routes.ts"
-}
-
-// Day 4: Link to decision (made during optimization)
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 35,
-  link_type: "decision",
-  link_key: "caching_strategy"
-}
-```
-
-### 4. Cross-Reference Linking
-
-Link related tasks through shared links:
-
-```javascript
-// Task A: Implement auth
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 40,
-  link_type: "decision",
-  link_key: "auth_method"
-}
-
-// Task B: Add auth middleware (related to Task A)
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 41,
-  link_type: "decision",
-  link_key: "auth_method"  // Same decision
-}
-
-// Query: Find related tasks
-// Both Task A and Task B linked to same decision
-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### 1. Link Early and Often
-
-```javascript
-// ✅ GOOD: Link immediately after creation
-const task = create({ action: "create", title: "..." });
-link({ action: "link", task_id: task.task_id, link_type: "decision", link_key: "..." });
-
-// ❌ BAD: Forget to link, lose context later
-```
-
-### 2. Use Meaningful Links
-
-```javascript
-// ✅ GOOD: Link to relevant decision
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 1,
-  link_type: "decision",
-  link_key: "auth_method"  // Directly related
-}
-
-// ❌ BAD: Link to unrelated decision
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 1,
-  link_type: "decision",
-  link_key: "database_choice"  // Not related to auth task
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Link to Files Being Modified
-
-```javascript
-// ✅ GOOD: Link to actual files being changed
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 5,
-  link_type: "file",
-  link_path: "/src/auth/jwt.ts"  // Will modify this file
-}
-
-// ❌ BAD: Link to unrelated files
-{
-  action: "link",
-  task_id: 5,
-  link_type: "file",
-  link_path: "/README.md"  // Not modifying this
-}
-```
-
-### 4. Use Links for Traceability
-
-```javascript
-// Implementation flow with full traceability
-
-// 1. Decision made
-{ action: "set", key: "auth_method", value: "JWT" }
-
-// 2. Constraint added
-{ action: "add", category: "security", constraint_text: "Auth tokens expire in 1h" }
-// Returns: { constraint_id: 15 }
-
-// 3. Task created with links
-{ action: "create", title: "Implement JWT auth" }
-// Returns: { task_id: 50 }
-
-// 4. Link to decision
-{ action: "link", task_id: 50, link_type: "decision", link_key: "auth_method" }
-
-// 5. Link to constraint
-{ action: "link", task_id: 50, link_type: "constraint", link_id: 15 }
-
-// 6. Link to implementation files
-{ action: "link", task_id: 50, link_type: "file", link_path: "/src/auth/jwt.ts" }
-
-// Result: Full traceability from decision → constraint → task → files
-```
-
-### 5. Update Links When Scope Changes
-
-```javascript
-// Task scope expands
-{ action: "update", task_id: 60, description: "Now includes OAuth2 support" }
-
-// Add new decision link
-{ action: "link", task_id: 60, link_type: "decision", link_key: "oauth2_provider" }
-
-// Add new file links
-{ action: "link", task_id: 60, link_type: "file", link_path: "/src/auth/oauth2.ts" }
-```
-
-### 6. Use Links for Impact Analysis
-
-```javascript
-// Before changing a constraint, find affected tasks
-
-// SQL: Find tasks linked to constraint 5
-SELECT t.* FROM t_tasks t
-JOIN t_task_constraint_links tcl ON t.task_id = tcl.task_id
-WHERE tcl.constraint_id = 5;
-
-// Review tasks before updating constraint
-// Update constraint if safe
-// Notify assignees if tasks affected
-```
