Mock Interview Scenario: React Component Design

Context

You're building a simple task management feature for a productivity app. Users should be able to view tasks, mark them as complete, and add new tasks.

Your Task

Design and plan the implementation for three React components using TypeScript:

Integration Tests with Cookie Authentication and Role Authorization

Overview

Setting up integration tests for your .NET minimal API with Identity Framework cookie authentication requires creating a test server, seeding test users with appropriate roles, and authenticating requests in your tests.

1. Test Project Setup

First, ensure your test project has the necessary packages:
