# Project Tasks List

## Task 1: Implement Product Catalog & Search [FULL-STACK]
Develop both frontend and backend functionalities for product catalog browsing, searching by keywords, and displaying detailed product information. This includes creating product data models, API endpoints for product CRUD (backend), and UI components for product listing, search bar, filters, and product detail pages (frontend).

## Task 2: Develop Shopping Cart & Checkout Process [FULL-STACK]
Build the complete shopping cart functionality, allowing users to add, remove, and update product quantities. Implement a secure multi-step checkout process, including shipping address input, payment method selection (integrating with a third-party payment gateway), and order placement. This involves backend APIs for cart management and order creation, and corresponding frontend UI/UX.

## Task 3: Enhance User Account & Order History [FULL-STACK]
Extend existing user account features to include viewing past order history and managing multiple shipping addresses. This requires backend APIs for retrieving user orders and managing addresses, and frontend UI for displaying this information in the user's profile.

## Task 4: Build Admin Product & Category Management [FULL-STACK]
Create a dedicated administrative interface for managing products and categories. This includes full CRUD operations for products (name, description, price, stock, images, categories) and categories (name, description). Develop backend APIs for these operations and corresponding frontend admin panel components.

## Task 5: Implement Admin Order Management [FULL-STACK]
Develop administrative functionalities for viewing, searching, filtering, and updating the status of customer orders. This involves backend APIs for order retrieval and status updates, and frontend admin panel components for an order list, order detail view, and status modification.

## Task 6: Integrate Admin User & Audit Management [FULL-STACK]
Enhance existing user management in the admin panel to specifically manage customer accounts and assign roles. Integrate and enhance the audit logging mechanism to provide a comprehensive view of all critical administrative actions, including user, action, entity, and timestamp. This requires backend logic for detailed audit logging and frontend UI for viewing and filtering audit logs.

## Task Completion Guidelines
- Use `- [x]` to mark completed subtasks (to be added by Developer)
- Use `- [ ]` for pending subtasks (to be added by Developer)
- Update "Currently Working On" when starting a new subtask (to be managed by Developer)
- Update "Completed Tasks" when finishing a task (to be managed by Developer)
- Always maintain the hierarchical structure (Task → Subtask → Subtask items)
- **IMPORTANT: Do NOT add subtasks here. Only create main tasks. Subtasks will be added by the Developer agent.**
