todo_replace: invalid cards: {e}

Error message

todo_replace: invalid cards: {e}

What it means

todo_replace could not deserialize the 'cards' array into TaskBoardCard objects: at least one element is missing a required field (e.g. id, content, status) or has a wrong-typed field. The serde error {e} names the offending card and field.

Solutions

1. Check {e} for the exact card index and field at fault
2. Ensure every card object carries the required fields with correct types
3. Fetch the current board first and modify it rather than hand-writing cards from scratch
