Subject: [PATCH] Fixed! The issue was in the
 [`useEffect`](file:///private/var/folders/kr/jdxkcn7129j376nrg0stj9zm0000gn/T/vibe-kanban/vk-db4e-the-close/frontend/src/pages/project-tasks.tsx#L91-L106)
 that handles URL changes. It only opened the panel when a `taskId` was
 present but didn't close it when the `taskId` was removed from the URL.
 (#203)

The fix adds an `else` condition that closes the panel (`setIsPanelOpen(false)`) and clears the selected task (`setSelectedTask(null)`) when there's no `taskId` in the URL.
