version updates.
Changes:
- Update avatar upload folder from app/static/uploads/avatars to
/data/uploads/avatars using existing app_data volume mount
- Modify get_avatar_upload_folder() in auth routes to use persistent
location with UPLOAD_FOLDER config
- Update User.get_avatar_path() to reference new storage location
- Add migration script to safely move existing avatars to new location
- Preserve backward compatibility - no database changes required
Benefits:
- Profile pictures now persist between Docker image updates
- Consistent with company logo storage pattern (/data/uploads)
- Better user experience - avatars not lost during upgrades
- Production-ready data/code separation
- All persistent uploads consolidated in app_data volume
Migration:
For existing installations with user avatars, run:
docker-compose run --rm app python /app/docker/migrate-avatar-storage.py
New installations work automatically with no action required.

This commit introduces a comprehensive Kanban board customization system and
improves CSRF token configuration for Docker deployments.
## Major Features
### 1. Customizable Kanban Board Columns
Add complete kanban column customization system allowing users to define
custom workflow states beyond the default columns.
**New Components:**
- Add KanbanColumn model with full CRUD operations (app/models/kanban_column.py)
- Add kanban routes blueprint with admin endpoints (app/routes/kanban.py)
- Add kanban column management templates (app/templates/kanban/)
- Add migration 019 for kanban_columns table (migrations/)
**Features:**
- Create unlimited custom columns with unique keys, labels, icons, and colors
- Drag-and-drop column reordering with position persistence
- Toggle column visibility without deletion
- Protected system columns (todo, in_progress, done) prevent accidental deletion
- Complete state marking for columns that should mark tasks as done
- Real-time updates via SocketIO broadcasts when columns change
- Font Awesome icon support (5000+ icons)
- Bootstrap color scheme integration
- Comprehensive validation and error handling
**Integration:**
- Update Task model to work with dynamic column statuses (app/models/task.py)
- Update task routes to use kanban column API (app/routes/tasks.py)
- Update project routes to fetch active columns (app/routes/projects.py)
- Add kanban column management links to base template (app/templates/base.html)
- Update kanban board templates to render dynamic columns (app/templates/tasks/)
- Add cache prevention headers to force fresh column data
**API Endpoints:**
- GET /api/kanban/columns - Fetch all active columns
- POST /api/kanban/columns/reorder - Reorder columns
- GET /kanban/columns - Column management interface (admin only)
- POST /kanban/columns/create - Create new column (admin only)
- POST /kanban/columns/<id>/edit - Edit column (admin only)
- POST /kanban/columns/<id>/delete - Delete column (admin only)
- POST /kanban/columns/<id>/toggle - Toggle column visibility (admin only)
### 2. Enhanced CSRF Configuration
Improve CSRF token configuration and documentation for Docker deployments.
**Configuration Updates:**
- Add WTF_CSRF_ENABLED environment variable to all docker-compose files
- Add WTF_CSRF_TIME_LIMIT environment variable with 1-hour default
- Update app/config.py to read CSRF settings from environment
- Add SECRET_KEY validation in app/__init__.py to prevent production deployment
with default keys
**Docker Compose Updates:**
- docker-compose.yml: CSRF enabled by default for security testing
- docker-compose.remote.yml: CSRF always enabled in production
- 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
- Add scripts/verify_csrf_config.bat for Windows systems
- Scripts check SECRET_KEY, CSRF_ENABLED, and CSRF_TIME_LIMIT settings
### 3. Database Initialization Improvements
- Update app/__init__.py to run pending migrations on startup
- Add automatic kanban column initialization after migrations
- Improve error handling and logging during database setup
### 4. Configuration Management

## 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.
