  3. Or test manually:

    # Get templates
    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" http://localhost:8080/api/v1/task-templates

    # Get analytics
    curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" http://localhost:8080/api/v1/task-templates/analytics

    # Create template
    curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
         -d '{"name":"API Test","industry":"trucking","category":"test","steps":[]}' \
