Improved the Release Build workflow to clearly show that PostHog and Sentry
credentials are being injected from the GitHub Secret Store, providing better
transparency and auditability.
Changes:
- Enhanced workflow step name to explicitly mention "GitHub Secrets"
- Added comprehensive logging with visual separators and clear sections
- Added before/after file content display showing placeholder replacement
- Added secret availability verification with format validation
- Added detailed error messages with step-by-step fix instructions
- Enhanced release summary to highlight successful credential injection
- Updated build configuration documentation with cross-references
Benefits:
- Developers can immediately see credentials come from GitHub Secret Store
- Security teams have clear audit trail of credential injection process
- Better troubleshooting with detailed error messages
- Secrets remain protected with proper redaction (first 8 + last 4 chars)
- Multiple validation steps ensure correct injection
The workflow now outputs 50+ lines of structured logging showing:
- Secret store location (Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions)
- Target file being modified (app/config/analytics_defaults.py)
- Verification that secrets are available
- Format validation (phc_* pattern for PostHog)
- Confirmation of successful placeholder replacement
- Summary with redacted credential previews

Improve task workflows and overall UX, and align backend routes with the
new UI flows. Update docs and development setup accordingly.
- UI: refine task list/view/edit templates, project views, and Kanban
partial (`_kanban_tailwind.html`)
- CSS: polish `app/static/enhanced-ui.css` for spacing, layout, and
responsiveness
- Routes: update `app/routes/tasks.py` and `app/routes/clients.py` to
support new edit/delete/filter behaviors and validations
- Templates: align clients/projects pages for consistency and navigation
- Docs: refresh `docs/GETTING_STARTED.md` and
`docs/TASK_MANAGEMENT_README.md`
- Dev: adjust `docker-compose.yml` and `setup.py` to match the latest
runtime/build expectations
- Tests: add coverage for delete actions, task project editing, and task
filters UI (`tests/test_delete_actions.py`,
`tests/test_task_edit_project.py`,
`tests/test_tasks_filters_ui.py`); update existing tests
Why:
- Streamlines common task operations and improves discoverability
- Ensures backend and UI are consistent and well-tested
- Simplify docker-compose setup and align environment defaults
- Update README and Quick Start to reflect the new compose flow
- Refine app initialization and configuration for clearer env handling
- Minor consistency and cleanup in config modules
No breaking changes expected.

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_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.
- CSRF error handler:
- Treat classic form POSTs as HTML (flash + safe redirect) regardless of
Accept header quirks; return JSON only for XHR/JSON requests
- Add contextual logging (path, method, referrer, user, reason) for diagnostics
- Security/config:
- Enforce strong SECRET_KEY in production (no placeholders, min length);
refuse startup if invalid
- Make SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITE and REMEMBER_COOKIE_SAMESITE env-driven
while keeping Secure/HttpOnly flags configurable
- Client resilience:
- Refresh CSRF token on window focus in addition to periodic refresh
- Pre-submit refresh if token is stale (>15 minutes)
- Auto-inject/refresh tokens for dynamically added forms via MutationObserver
- UX correctness:
- Ensure tasks.edit_task re-renders with projects/users on validation errors
Fixes#77 (csrf_token_missing_or_invalid)

- 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:**

- Automatic page refresh when columns are created/updated/deleted/reordered
- Prevents stale data by expiring SQLAlchemy caches after changes
**Security:**

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
