Task name validation allows whitespace-only input without error

[inderjeet20]

Description

When saving a task without a name, the app correctly shows the error “This field is required”.

However, if the user enters only spaces in the task name field:

• No validation error is shown
• The task is not saved (which is good)
• But the lack of feedback is confusing

Additionally, if the task name starts with leading spaces (e.g. " Task name"), the task also fails to save without any error message.

---

Actual Behavior

• Whitespace-only input shows no validation error
• Task is not saved, but no feedback is provided
• Leading spaces in task name prevent saving without explanation

---

Why this matters

• Silent validation failures confuse users
• Whitespace-only input should not bypass required field validation
• Trimming or validating input improves UX and data consistency

---

Steps to reproduce

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new task
2. Leave the task name empty
   • Observe: “This field is required” is shown
3. Enter only spaces in the task name field
4. Try to save the task
5. Enter a valid name with leading spaces (e.g. " My Task")
6. Try to save again

What was the expected result?

Expected Behavior

• Whitespace-only input should be treated as empty and show “This field is required”
• OR show a clear error such as “Task name cannot contain only spaces”
• Leading spaces should either:
  • Be automatically trimmed, or
  • Show a validation error explaining why saving failed
