The GET /tasks/ endpoint retrieves every task document stored in MongoDB and returns them as a JSON array. No filtering, pagination, or authentication parameters are required. If no tasks exist in the collection yet, the endpoint returns an empty array ([]) rather than an error — making it safe to call at any time without defensive handling on the client. GET /tasks/
