⚙️ How It Works

1. The program checks for a data/ folder; if missing, it creates one.
2. When adding a task:
   • It reads the last used ID from .id.
   • Increments it and writes the new task to data.json.
   • Each task entry is stored in JSON-like format:

     { "id": 3, "task": "Finish homework" }

3. Commands like delete, update, and list are scaffolded for future expansion.
