manzil8105/VantageBoard-version-1 ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a simple web app for managing boards and tasks, with user accounts and a MySQL database connected through XAMPP.

I want pages for sign up, log in, forgot password, a main dashboard, creating a new board, viewing a board in full detail, editing a task, and updating profile settings. The app should feel clean and easy to use, with the same basic styling across all pages.

Please make the login and registration flow actually work, store data in MySQL, and wire up the server so the pages can talk to the database properly. After someone logs in, they should land on the dashboard, where they can see their boards and open one to manage tasks. Also make sure forms validate nicely and the app handles errors in a friendly way.

If anything is unclear, check the existing files and look up current docs online if needed, then finish it so I can run it with npm install and node server.js.
