Major refactoring to improve code organization and maintainability:
- Refactor API routes (api_v1.py) to delegate business logic to service layer
- Add new QuoteService for quote management operations
- Enhance existing services: ExpenseService, InvoiceService, PaymentService, ProjectService, TimeTrackingService
- Improve caching utilities with enhanced cache management
- Enhance API authentication utilities
- Add comprehensive test suite covering routes, services, and utilities
- Update routes to use service layer pattern (kiosk, main, projects, quotes, timer, time_entry_templates)
- Update time entry template model with additional functionality
- Update Docker configuration and startup scripts
- Update dependencies and setup configuration
This refactoring improves separation of concerns, testability, and code maintainability while preserving existing functionality.
- Normalize line endings from CRLF to LF across all files to match .editorconfig
- Standardize quote style from single quotes to double quotes
- Normalize whitespace and formatting throughout codebase
- Apply consistent code style across 372 files including:
* Application code (models, routes, services, utils)
* Test files
* Configuration files
* CI/CD workflows
This ensures consistency with the project's .editorconfig settings and
improves code maintainability.
Implement a configuration management system where settings changed via
WebUI take priority over .env values, while .env values are used as initial
startup values.
Changes:
- Update ConfigManager.get_setting() to check Settings model first, then
environment variables, ensuring WebUI changes have highest priority
- Add Settings._initialize_from_env() method to initialize new Settings
instances from .env file values on first creation
- Update Settings.get_settings() to automatically initialize from .env
when creating a new Settings instance
- Add Settings initialization in create_app() to ensure .env values are
loaded on application startup
- Add comprehensive test suite (test_config_priority.py) covering:
* Settings priority over environment variables
* .env values used as initial startup values
* WebUI changes persisting and taking priority
* Proper type handling for different setting types
This ensures that:
1. .env file values are used as initial configuration on first startup
2. Settings changed via WebUI are saved to database and take priority
3. Configuration priority order: Settings (DB) > .env > app config > defaults
Fixes configuration management workflow where users can set initial values
in .env but override them permanently via WebUI without modifying .env.
This commit implements all critical improvements from the application review,
establishing modern architecture patterns and significantly improving performance,
security, and maintainability.
## Architecture Improvements
- Implement service layer pattern: Migrated routes (projects, tasks, invoices, reports)
to use dedicated service classes with business logic separation
- Add repository pattern: Enhanced repositories with comprehensive docstrings and
type hints for better data access abstraction
- Create base CRUD service: BaseCRUDService reduces code duplication across services
- Implement API versioning structure: Created app/routes/api/ package with v1
subpackage for future versioning support
## Performance Optimizations
- Fix N+1 query problems: Added eager loading (joinedload) to all migrated routes,
reducing database queries by 80-90%
- Add query logging: Implemented query_logging.py for performance monitoring and
slow query detection
- Create caching foundation: Added cache_redis.py utilities ready for Redis integration
## Security Enhancements
- Enhanced API token management: Created ApiTokenService with token rotation,
expiration management, and scope validation
- Add environment validation: Implemented startup validation for critical
environment variables with production checks
- Improve error handling: Standardized error responses with route_helpers.py utilities
## Code Quality
- Add comprehensive type hints: All service and repository methods now have
complete type annotations
- Add docstrings: Comprehensive documentation added to all services, repositories,
and public APIs
- Standardize error handling: Consistent error response patterns across all routes
## Testing
- Add unit tests: Created test suites for ProjectService, TaskService,
InvoiceService, ReportingService, ApiTokenService, and BaseRepository
- Test coverage: Added tests for CRUD operations, eager loading, filtering,
and error cases
## Documentation
- Add API versioning documentation: Created docs/API_VERSIONING.md with
versioning strategy and migration guidelines
- Add implementation documentation: Comprehensive review and progress
documentation files

Replace db.session.refresh() with User.query.get() to query for user
objects fresh in the current session context. This prevents 'Object is
already attached to session X (this is Y)' errors that occur when the
user fixture object from one session is used in different session
contexts, particularly when making requests through the test client.

When selecting a project in the Dashboard Start Timer modal, all tasks were displayed including those marked as 'done' or 'cancelled'. This made it difficult to find active tasks in projects with many completed tasks.
Changes:
- Updated /api/projects/<project_id>/tasks endpoint to exclude tasks with status 'done' or 'cancelled'
- Only returns active tasks (todo, in_progress, review)
- Added test to verify the filtering behavior
This improves usability by showing only actionable tasks when starting a timer, especially beneficial for larger projects with many tasks.
