-### Goal
+### ✅ Completed Tasks
 
-Migrate `DownloadService` to use SQLite via `DownloadQueueService` for queue persistence instead of JSON files.
-
----
-
-### Task 1: Create Database Queue Repository Adapter
-
-**File:** `src/server/services/queue_repository.py`
-
-**Objective:** Create a repository adapter that wraps `DownloadQueueService` and provides the interface needed by `DownloadService`.
-
-**Requirements:**
-
--   [ ] Create `QueueRepository` class with async methods
--   [ ] Implement `save_item(item: DownloadItem) -> DownloadItem`
--   [ ] Implement `get_item(item_id: str) -> Optional[DownloadItem]`
--   [ ] Implement `get_pending_items() -> List[DownloadItem]`
--   [ ] Implement `get_active_item() -> Optional[DownloadItem]`
--   [ ] Implement `get_completed_items(limit: int) -> List[DownloadItem]`
--   [ ] Implement `get_failed_items(limit: int) -> List[DownloadItem]`
--   [ ] Implement `update_status(item_id: str, status: DownloadStatus, error: Optional[str]) -> bool`
--   [ ] Implement `update_progress(item_id: str, progress: float, downloaded: int, total: int, speed: float) -> bool`
--   [ ] Implement `delete_item(item_id: str) -> bool`
--   [ ] Implement `clear_completed() -> int`
--   [ ] Convert between `DownloadItem` (Pydantic model) and `DownloadQueueItem` (SQLAlchemy model)
--   [ ] Handle database session management properly
--   [ ] Add proper error handling and logging
-
-**Acceptance Criteria:**
-
--   Repository provides clean interface for queue operations
--   All database operations are properly async
--   Proper error handling for database failures
--   Type hints for all methods
-
----
-
-### Task 2: Refactor DownloadService to Use Repository Pattern
-
-**File:** `src/server/services/download_service.py`
-
-**Objective:** Replace JSON file persistence with the new `QueueRepository`.
-
-**Requirements:**
-
--   [ ] Inject `QueueRepository` via constructor
--   [ ] Remove `_persistence_path` attribute and JSON file handling
--   [ ] Remove `_load_queue()` JSON loading method
--   [ ] Remove `_save_queue()` JSON saving method
--   [ ] Replace in-memory `deque` storage with database calls for persistence
--   [ ] Keep in-memory cache for active operations (performance)
--   [ ] Implement `_sync_from_database()` method for startup initialization
--   [ ] Update `add_to_queue()` to save to database
--   [ ] Update `_process_download()` to update database on status changes
--   [ ] Update progress tracking to persist to database
--   [ ] Update `remove_from_queue()` to delete from database
--   [ ] Update `clear_completed()` to clear from database
--   [ ] Ensure graceful shutdown persists final state
-
-**Acceptance Criteria:**
-
--   No JSON file operations remain in DownloadService
--   Queue state persists across server restarts via SQLite
--   Active downloads recover correctly after restart
--   Performance remains acceptable (use caching where needed)
--   All existing functionality preserved
-
----
-
-### Task 3: Update Dependency Injection and Application Startup
-
-**File:** `src/server/fastapi_app.py` and related files
-
-**Objective:** Wire up the new database-backed queue system.
-
-**Requirements:**
-
--   [ ] Update `DownloadService` initialization to use `QueueRepository`
--   [ ] Ensure database session is available for queue operations
--   [ ] Update any direct `DownloadService` instantiation
--   [ ] Remove references to JSON persistence path configuration
--   [ ] Update health check endpoints if they reference queue file
-
-**Acceptance Criteria:**
-
--   Application starts successfully with database-backed queue
--   No JSON file references remain in startup code
--   Dependency injection properly configured
-
----
-
-### Task 4: Update API Endpoints for Database-Backed Queue
-
-**File:** `src/server/api/download_routes.py` (or equivalent)
-
-**Objective:** Ensure all download API endpoints work with database-backed queue.
-
-**Requirements:**
-
--   [ ] Verify `GET /api/queue` returns items from database
--   [ ] Verify `POST /api/queue` adds items to database
--   [ ] Verify `DELETE /api/queue/{id}` removes from database
--   [ ] Verify queue statistics reflect database state
--   [ ] Verify WebSocket broadcasts still work correctly
--   [ ] Update any endpoint that directly accessed JSON file
--   [ ] Add new endpoint `GET /api/queue/history` for completed/failed items (optional)
-
-**Acceptance Criteria:**
-
--   All existing API contracts maintained
--   Queue operations reflect database state
--   Real-time updates via WebSocket work correctly
+-   **Task 1**: Created `QueueRepository` adapter in `src/server/services/queue_repository.py`
+-   **Task 2**: Refactored `DownloadService` to use repository pattern
+-   **Task 3**: Updated dependency injection and application startup
+-   **Task 4**: All API endpoints work with database-backed queue
