with default keys
**Docker Compose Updates:**
- docker-compose.yml: CSRF enabled by default for security testing

- docker-compose.remote-dev.yml: CSRF enabled with production-like settings
- docker-compose.local-test.yml: CSRF can be disabled for local testing
- Add helpful comments explaining each CSRF-related environment variable
- Update env.example with CSRF configuration examples
**Verification Scripts:**
- Add scripts/verify_csrf_config.sh for Unix systems

### Updated Documentation

## Testing
### New Test Files
- test_kanban_refresh.py: Test kanban column refresh functionality
## Technical Details
**Database Changes:**
- New table: kanban_columns with 11 columns
- Indexes on: key, position
- Default data: 4 system columns (todo, in_progress, review, done)
- Support for both SQLite (development) and PostgreSQL (production)
**Real-Time Updates:**
- SocketIO events: 'kanban_columns_updated' with action type
- Automatic page refresh when columns are created/updated/deleted/reordered
- Prevents stale data by expiring SQLAlchemy caches after changes
**Security:**
- Admin-only access to column management
- CSRF protection on all column mutation endpoints
- API endpoints exempt from CSRF (use JSON and other auth mechanisms)
- System column protection prevents data integrity issues
- Validation prevents deletion of columns with active tasks
**Performance:**
- Efficient querying with position-based ordering
- 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.
