# Task ID: 157

**Title:** Smoke test for task lifecycle transitions

**Status:** pending

**Dependencies:** 131, 149, 153

**Priority:** medium

**Description:** Create smoke test driving a task through full lifecycle including rejected accept-gate bounce

**Details:**

Create src/mcplocal/tests/smoke/task-lifecycle.smoke.test.ts:
1. Create Epic → EpicTask → Task
2. Transition task: todo → in_progress → building → self_testing → qa_review → done → awaiting_review
3. Test reject: awaiting_review → in_progress
4. Advance again to awaiting_review
5. Test accept: verify merge called (may need mock git provider for smoke)
6. Verify TaskEvents recorded for all transitions
7. Follow smoke test patterns

**Test Strategy:**

Run against live mcpd. Verify each transition succeeds, events logged, reject bounces state correctly.
