Create the auto-provisioned demo user with legacy role "user" and the RBAC
user role so public demos cannot reach settings or the PDF layout editor.
On startup, downgrade an existing demo user that still has admin or
super_admin roles left over from older releases.
Document behavior in docs/deploy/RENDER.md and README.md.
- Add _sqlite_path_from_url() and use it for SQLite path resolution in
wait_for_database, cleanup, and verify_core_tables.
- run_migrations: pre/post probe and alembic/core checks work for both
PostgreSQL and SQLite (sqlite_master, etc.).
- cleanup_corrupted_database_state: support SQLite by removing corrupted DB file
when appropriate so migrations can recreate it; keep PostgreSQL table-drop behavior.
- verify_core_tables: for SQLite, list all tables, log path and clearer errors
when core tables or alembic_version are missing.
Remove redundant 'import traceback' statement inside exception handler
in docker/start-fixed.py. The traceback module is already imported at
the top of the file, and the local import was causing Python to treat
it as a local variable, leading to UnboundLocalError when the exception
handler didn't execute.
Implement a complete issue management system with client portal integration
and internal admin interface for tracking and resolving client-reported issues.
Features:
- New Issue model with full lifecycle management (open, in_progress, resolved, closed, cancelled)
- Priority levels (low, medium, high, urgent) with visual indicators
- Issue linking to projects and tasks
- Create tasks directly from issues
- Client portal integration for issue reporting and viewing
- Internal admin routes for issue management, filtering, and assignment
- Comprehensive templates for both client and admin views
- Status filtering and search functionality
- Issue assignment to internal users
- Automatic timestamp tracking (created, updated, resolved, closed)
Client Portal:
- Clients can report new issues with project association
- View all issues with status filtering
- View individual issue details
- Submit issues with optional submitter name/email
Admin Interface:
- List all issues with advanced filtering (status, priority, client, project, assignee, search)
- View, edit, and delete issues
- Link issues to existing tasks
- Create tasks from issues
- Update issue status, priority, and assignment
- Issue statistics dashboard
Technical:
- Added Issue model with relationships to Client, Project, Task, and User
- New issues blueprint for internal management
- Extended client_portal routes with issue endpoints
- Updated model imports and relationships
- Added navigation links in base templates
- Version bump to 4.6.0
- Code cleanup in docker scripts and schema verification
- Fix AUTH_METHOD=none: Read from Flask app config instead of Config class
- Add comprehensive schema verification: Verify all SQLAlchemy models against
database and auto-fix missing columns
- Improve startup logging: Unified format with timestamps and log levels
- Enhanced migration flow: Automatic schema verification after migrations
Fixes authentication issue where password field showed even with AUTH_METHOD=none.
Ensures all database columns from models exist, preventing missing column errors.
Improves startup logging for better debugging and monitoring.
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.
