    Task Dependencies: Blocking and Waiting-On

    A blocking dependency prevents a task from being marked done until its blockers complete, and the Waiting-On view surfaces every task currently gated on someone else. Dependencies work across lists and shared workspaces.

    Open a task → DependenciesAdd blocker. Pick any other task; the blocker must complete before this task can. Attempting to close a blocked task raises a gentle prompt instead of silently marking it done.

    Waiting-On view collects every task blocked on a teammate. LemTask nudges you if a blocker sits untouched for 3+ days.

    Why bother? Sequential work (design → dev → QA) stops surprising you. Cross-team hand-offs stop dropping.
