Add WTF_CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS to app/config.py (env-driven, comma-separated; default https://track.example.com) to allow CSRF validation when referrer/origin host matches a trusted origin behind a proxy.
Keep existing ProxyFix(x_proto=1, x_host=1, x_for=1, x_port=1) so Flask honors X-Forwarded-* headers.
Ensure forms/AJAX post to the same origin you’ve configured via WTF_CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS.
The OIDC callback was failing because parse_id_token() was called without
the required 'nonce' parameter, causing authentication to fail with a
TypeError. This prevented the issuer (iss) claim from being extracted,
which is required for successful OIDC login.
Changes:
- Check if ID token claims are already available in the token response
under 'userinfo' key (parsed by Authlib during authorize_access_token)
- If not available, retrieve nonce from session and pass it to
parse_id_token() method
- This ensures the issuer and subject claims are properly extracted from
the ID token instead of only relying on the userinfo endpoint
The issuer claim is only present in the ID token, not the userinfo
endpoint, so proper ID token parsing is essential for authentication.
Fixes #<issue_number>

Implement comprehensive CSRF token management with cookie-based
double-submit pattern to improve security and SPA compatibility.
Changes:
- Add CSRF cookie configuration in app/config.py
* WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT for strict SSL validation in production
* CSRF_COOKIE_NAME (default: XSRF-TOKEN) for framework compatibility
* CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE inherits from SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE by default
* CSRF_COOKIE_HTTPONLY, CSRF_COOKIE_SAMESITE, and CSRF_COOKIE_DOMAIN settings
- Implement CSRF cookie handler in app/__init__.py
* Set CSRF token in cookie after each request
* Configure cookie with secure flags based on environment settings
* Support for double-submit pattern and SPA frameworks
- Add client-side CSRF token management in base.html
* JavaScript utilities for token retrieval and validation
* Cookie synchronization for frameworks that read XSRF-TOKEN
* Auto-refresh mechanism for stale tokens (>15 minutes)
* Pre-submit token validation and refresh
* User notification for missing cookies/tokens
- Clean up docker-compose.yml environment variables
* Remove redundant SECRET_KEY, WTF_CSRF_*, and cookie security settings
* These are now managed through .env files and config.py
This enhancement provides better CSRF protection while maintaining
compatibility with modern JavaScript frameworks and SPA architectures.

- Cached column data with cache invalidation on changes
- No-cache headers on API responses to prevent stale data
- Optimized database indexes for fast lookups
## Breaking Changes
None. This is a fully backward-compatible addition.
Existing workflows continue to work with the default columns.
Custom columns are opt-in via the admin interface.
## Migration Notes
1. Run migration 019 to create kanban_columns table
2. Default columns are initialized automatically on first run
3. No data migration needed for existing tasks
4. Existing task statuses map to new column keys
## Environment Variables
New environment variables (all optional with defaults):
- WTF_CSRF_ENABLED: Enable/disable CSRF protection (default: true)
- WTF_CSRF_TIME_LIMIT: CSRF token expiration in seconds (default: 3600)
- SECRET_KEY: Required in production, must be cryptographically secure
See env.example for complete configuration reference.
## Deployment Notes
Fixed modal being unresponsive when clicking task titles in kanban board.
Modal was nested in containers causing z-index stacking issues.
- Moved modal to body element before showing (Bootstrap requirement)
- Set proper z-index hierarchy (backdrop: 1040, modal: 1050-1057)
- Ensured pointer-events: auto on all modal dialogs
Affected modules: Projects, Clients, Tasks, Invoices, Comments, Admin, Search
- All HTML forms now include csrf_token hidden input
- JavaScript forms retrieve token from meta tag in base.html
- API endpoints properly exempted for JSON operations
- 58 POST forms + 4 dynamic JS forms now protected
Security impact: HIGH - Closes critical CSRF vulnerability
