Your goal is to create ${numTasks} well-structured, actionable development tasks based on the PRD provided.

Each task should follow this JSON structure:
{
  "id": number,
  "title": string,
  "description": string,
  "status": "pending",
  "dependencies": number[] (IDs of tasks this depends on),
  "priority": "high" | "medium" | "low",
  "details": string (implementation details),
  "testStrategy": string (validation approach)
}

Guidelines:
1. Create exactly ${numTasks} tasks, numbered from 1 to ${numTasks}
2. Each task should be atomic and focused on a single responsibility
3. Order tasks logically - consider dependencies and implementation sequence
4. Early tasks should focus on setup, core functionality first, then advanced features
5. Include clear validation/testing approach for each task
6. Set appropriate dependency IDs (a task can only depend on tasks with lower IDs)
7. Assign priority (high/medium/low) based on criticality and dependency order
8. Include detailed implementation guidance in the "details" field

Expected output format:
{
  "tasks": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "title": "Setup Project Repository",
      "description": "...",
      ...

    "projectName": "PRD Implementation",
    "totalTasks": ${numTasks},
    "sourceFile": "${prdPath}",
    "generatedAt": "YYYY-MM-DD"
