feat: add Valkey integration for task queue (closes #98)

- Add ioredis package dependency for Redis-compatible operations
- Create ValkeyModule as global NestJS module
- Implement ValkeyService with task queue operations:
  - enqueue(task): Add tasks to FIFO queue
  - dequeue(): Get next task and update to PROCESSING status
  - getStatus(taskId): Retrieve task metadata and status
  - updateStatus(taskId, status): Update task state (COMPLETED/FAILED)
  - getQueueLength(): Monitor queue depth
  - clearQueue(): Queue management utility
  - healthCheck(): Verify Valkey connectivity
- Add TaskDto, EnqueueTaskDto, UpdateTaskStatusDto interfaces
- Implement TaskStatus enum (PENDING/PROCESSING/COMPLETED/FAILED)
- Add comprehensive test suite with in-memory Redis mock (20 tests)
- Integrate ValkeyModule into app.module.ts
- Valkey Docker Compose service already configured in docker-compose.yml
- VALKEY_URL environment variable already in .env.example
- Add detailed README with usage examples and API documentation

Technical Details:
- Uses FIFO queue (RPUSH/LPOP for strict ordering)
- Task metadata stored with 24-hour TTL
- Lifecycle hooks for connection management (onModuleInit/onModuleDestroy)
- Automatic retry with exponential backoff on connection errors
- Global module - no explicit imports needed

Tests verify:
- Connection initialization and health checks
- FIFO enqueue/dequeue behavior
- Status lifecycle transitions
- Concurrent task handling
- Queue management operations
- Complete task processing workflows

+# Valkey Task Queue Module
+
+This module provides Redis-compatible task queue functionality using Valkey (Redis fork) for the Mosaic Stack application.
+
+## Overview
+
+The `ValkeyModule` is a global NestJS module that provides task queue operations with a simple FIFO (First-In-First-Out) queue implementation. It uses ioredis for Redis compatibility and is automatically available throughout the application.
+
+## Features
+
+- ✅ **FIFO Queue**: Tasks are processed in the order they are enqueued
+- ✅ **Task Status Tracking**: Monitor task lifecycle (PENDING → PROCESSING → COMPLETED/FAILED)
+- ✅ **Metadata Storage**: Store and retrieve task data with 24-hour TTL
+- ✅ **Health Monitoring**: Built-in health check for Valkey connectivity
+- ✅ **Type Safety**: Fully typed DTOs with validation
+- ✅ **Global Module**: No need to import in every module
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Components
+
+1. **ValkeyModule** (`valkey.module.ts`)
+   - Global module that provides `ValkeyService`
+   - Auto-registered in `app.module.ts`
+
+2. **ValkeyService** (`valkey.service.ts`)
+   - Core service with queue operations
+   - Lifecycle hooks for connection management
+   - Methods: `enqueue()`, `dequeue()`, `getStatus()`, `updateStatus()`
+
+3. **DTOs** (`dto/task.dto.ts`)
+   - `TaskDto`: Complete task representation
+   - `EnqueueTaskDto`: Input for creating tasks
+   - `UpdateTaskStatusDto`: Input for status updates
+   - `TaskStatus`: Enum of task states
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+Add to `.env`:
+
+```bash
+VALKEY_URL=redis://localhost:6379
+```
+
+### Docker Compose
+
+Valkey service is already configured in `docker-compose.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+valkey:
+  image: valkey/valkey:8-alpine
+  container_name: mosaic-valkey
+  ports:
+    - "6379:6379"
+  volumes:
+    - valkey_data:/data
+```
+
+Start Valkey:
+
+```bash
+docker compose up -d valkey
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+### 1. Inject the Service
+
+```typescript
+import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
+import { ValkeyService } from './valkey/valkey.service';
+
+@Injectable()
+export class MyService {
+  constructor(private readonly valkeyService: ValkeyService) {}
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Enqueue a Task
+
+```typescript
+const task = await this.valkeyService.enqueue({
+  type: 'send-email',
+  data: {
+    to: 'user@example.com',
+    subject: 'Welcome!',
+    body: 'Hello, welcome to Mosaic Stack',
+  },
+});
+
+console.log(task.id); // UUID
+console.log(task.status); // 'pending'
+```
+
+### 3. Dequeue and Process
+
+```typescript
+// Worker picks up next task
+const task = await this.valkeyService.dequeue();
+
+if (task) {
+  console.log(task.status); // 'processing'
+  
+  try {
+    // Do work...
+    await sendEmail(task.data);
+    
+    // Mark as completed
+    await this.valkeyService.updateStatus(task.id, {
+      status: TaskStatus.COMPLETED,
+      result: { sentAt: new Date().toISOString() },
+    });
+  } catch (error) {
+    // Mark as failed
+    await this.valkeyService.updateStatus(task.id, {
+      status: TaskStatus.FAILED,
+      error: error.message,
+    });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Check Task Status
+
+```typescript
+const status = await this.valkeyService.getStatus(taskId);
+
+if (status) {
+  console.log(status.status); // 'completed' | 'failed' | 'processing' | 'pending'
+  console.log(status.data);   // Task metadata
+  console.log(status.error);  // Error message if failed
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Queue Management
+
+```typescript
+// Get queue length
+const length = await this.valkeyService.getQueueLength();
+console.log(`${length} tasks in queue`);
+
+// Health check
+const healthy = await this.valkeyService.healthCheck();
+console.log(`Valkey is ${healthy ? 'healthy' : 'down'}`);
+
+// Clear queue (use with caution!)
+await this.valkeyService.clearQueue();
+```
+
+## Task Lifecycle
+
+```
+PENDING → PROCESSING → COMPLETED
+                    ↘ FAILED
+```
+
+1. **PENDING**: Task is enqueued and waiting to be processed
+2. **PROCESSING**: Task has been dequeued and is being worked on
+3. **COMPLETED**: Task finished successfully
+4. **FAILED**: Task encountered an error
+
+## Data Storage
+
+- **Queue**: Redis list at key `mosaic:task:queue`
+- **Task Metadata**: Redis strings at `mosaic:task:{taskId}`
+- **TTL**: Tasks expire after 24 hours (configurable via `TASK_TTL`)
+
+## Examples
+
+### Background Job Processing
+
+```typescript
+@Injectable()
+export class EmailWorker {
+  constructor(private readonly valkeyService: ValkeyService) {
+    this.startWorker();
+  }
+
+  private async startWorker() {
+    while (true) {
+      const task = await this.valkeyService.dequeue();
+      
+      if (task) {
+        await this.processTask(task);
+      } else {
+        // No tasks, wait 5 seconds
+        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 5000));
+      }
+    }
+  }
+
+  private async processTask(task: TaskDto) {
+    try {
+      switch (task.type) {
+        case 'send-email':
+          await this.sendEmail(task.data);
+          break;
+        case 'generate-report':
+          await this.generateReport(task.data);
+          break;
+      }
+      
+      await this.valkeyService.updateStatus(task.id, {
+        status: TaskStatus.COMPLETED,
+      });
+    } catch (error) {
+      await this.valkeyService.updateStatus(task.id, {
+        status: TaskStatus.FAILED,
+        error: error.message,
+      });
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Scheduled Tasks with Cron
+
+```typescript
+@Injectable()
+export class ScheduledTasks {
+  constructor(private readonly valkeyService: ValkeyService) {}
+
+  @Cron('0 0 * * *') // Daily at midnight
+  async dailyReport() {
+    await this.valkeyService.enqueue({
+      type: 'daily-report',
+      data: { date: new Date().toISOString() },
+    });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+The module includes comprehensive tests with an in-memory Redis mock:
+
+```bash
+pnpm test valkey.service.spec.ts
+```
+
+Tests cover:
+- ✅ Connection and initialization
+- ✅ Enqueue operations
+- ✅ Dequeue FIFO behavior
+- ✅ Status tracking and updates
+- ✅ Queue management
+- ✅ Complete task lifecycle
+- ✅ Concurrent task handling
+
+## API Reference
+
+### ValkeyService Methods
+
+#### `enqueue(task: EnqueueTaskDto): Promise<TaskDto>`
+Add a task to the queue.
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `task.type` (string): Task type identifier
+- `task.data` (object): Task metadata
+
+**Returns:** Created task with ID and status
+
+---
+
+#### `dequeue(): Promise<TaskDto | null>`
+Get the next task from the queue (FIFO).
+
+**Returns:** Next task with status updated to PROCESSING, or null if queue is empty
+
+---
+
+#### `getStatus(taskId: string): Promise<TaskDto | null>`
+Retrieve task status and metadata.
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `taskId` (string): Task UUID
+
+**Returns:** Task data or null if not found
+
+---
+
+#### `updateStatus(taskId: string, update: UpdateTaskStatusDto): Promise<TaskDto | null>`
+Update task status and optionally add results or errors.
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `taskId` (string): Task UUID
+- `update.status` (TaskStatus): New status
+- `update.error` (string, optional): Error message for failed tasks
+- `update.result` (object, optional): Result data to merge
+
+**Returns:** Updated task or null if not found
+
+---
+
+#### `getQueueLength(): Promise<number>`
+Get the number of tasks in queue.
+
+**Returns:** Queue length
+
+---
+
+#### `clearQueue(): Promise<void>`
+Remove all tasks from queue (metadata remains until TTL).
+
+---
+
+#### `healthCheck(): Promise<boolean>`
+Verify Valkey connectivity.
+
+**Returns:** true if connected, false otherwise
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+If upgrading from BullMQ or another queue system:
+1. Task IDs are UUIDs (not incremental)
+2. No built-in retry mechanism (implement in worker)
+3. No job priorities (strict FIFO)
+4. Tasks expire after 24 hours
+
+For advanced features like retries, priorities, or scheduled jobs, consider wrapping this service or using BullMQ alongside it.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Connection Issues
+
+```typescript
+// Check Valkey connectivity
+const healthy = await this.valkeyService.healthCheck();
+if (!healthy) {
+  console.error('Valkey is not responding');
+}
+```
+
+### Queue Stuck
+
+```bash
+# Check queue length
+docker exec -it mosaic-valkey valkey-cli LLEN mosaic:task:queue
+
+# Inspect tasks
+docker exec -it mosaic-valkey valkey-cli KEYS "mosaic:task:*"
+
+# Clear stuck queue
+docker exec -it mosaic-valkey valkey-cli DEL mosaic:task:queue
+```
+
+### Debug Logging
+
+The service logs all operations at `info` level. Check application logs for:
+- Task enqueue/dequeue operations
+- Status updates
+- Connection events
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential improvements for consideration:
+- [ ] Task priorities (weighted queues)
+- [ ] Retry mechanism with exponential backoff
+- [ ] Delayed/scheduled tasks
+- [ ] Task progress tracking
+- [ ] Queue metrics and monitoring
+- [ ] Multi-queue support
+- [ ] Dead letter queue for failed tasks
