Run desktop packaging workflows on Node 24 and load Vite through an ESM config so macOS, Linux, and Windows builds use a runtime compatible with Vite 7.
Move the desktop app onto a Vite-powered React shell with username/password setup, diagnostics, themed core views, offline sync queueing, and tighter Electron runtime boundaries.
Client portal: add min-w-0, break-words, and flex gap/shrink utilities on
the projects grid cards so long project names no longer force horizontal
overflow and clip against the viewport edge.
Desktop: add app and tray icons, adjust Electron main process (window,
tray, lifecycle), renderer connection and API client updates, build script
and package metadata, and regenerate the bundled renderer script.
Introduce a connection manager (state machine, listeners, offline handling,
token/server binding) with timer start/stop reconciliation helpers. Refactor
app.js to use it and extend the first-run wizard (welcome + server + token).
Add node:test coverage for the manager, timer operations, and an /api/v1/info
integration harness. Rebuild renderer bundle for packaging.
Bump desktop toolchain (electron, electron-builder, esbuild) and Python
package version to 5.3.2 in setup.py.
Desktop (Electron):
- Add two-step first-run wizard: test TimeTracker via GET /api/v1/info, then log in with API token
- Replace bogus token check with validateSession (users/me, fallback to timer/status for narrow scopes)
- Normalize base URLs; classify TLS/DNS/timeout errors; periodic 401 forces re-login
- Settings save/test use public + authenticated checks; prebuild/prestart and npm test
Server:
- Exempt /api/v1/info, /api/v1/health, and POST /api/v1/auth/login from HTML setup redirect
- Include setup_required on GET /api/v1/info for unfinished installs
Mobile (Flutter):
- Validate saved token against new server URL before persisting settings change
- Remove unused lib/core/config.dart; point BUILD_CONFIGURATION at app_config.dart

The will-navigate guard compared file URL origins to the literal string
file://, but the URL API reports an opaque origin for file pages, so
legitimate file navigations were blocked and the window could fail to
load reliably on Windows.
Import utils/helpers from the renderer entry so esbuild includes
window.Helpers in the bundle, restoring formatters and isValidUrl after
build:renderer.
Documentation: desktop README explains the renderer bundle workflow;
Windows desktop troubleshooting covers stuck loading; frontend quality
gates table notes the app.js entry and rebuild step.
- Backend: WorkforceGovernanceService.delete_period, delete_leave_request,
delete_leave_type, delete_holiday with permission and state checks
- Web: POST delete routes in workforce blueprint; delete buttons in dashboard
for periods (draft/rejected), time-off (draft/submitted/cancelled), leave
types list, and company holidays (admin only)
- API v1: DELETE endpoints for timesheet-periods, time-off/requests,
time-off/leave-types, time-off/holidays (scopes and admin where required)
- Desktop: deleteTimesheetPeriod/deleteTimeOffRequest in API client; Delete
buttons and handlers in workforce view with confirmation and refresh
- Mobile: deleteTimesheetPeriod/deleteTimeOffRequest in API client; Delete
in popup menus for periods and time-off requests
- Docs: WORKFORCE_DELETE.md, PROJECT_STRUCTURE and API_TOKEN_SCOPES updates
- Add state.js and ui/notifications.js; update app.js and api client
- Bundle with esbuild; update package.json dependencies
- Improve connection status and accessible notifications (aria-live/role)
- API: include time_entry_requirements in GET /users/me (require_task, require_description, min length)
- Timer: validate task/description requirements when starting timer; pass time_approvals_enabled and can_request_approval to view_timer; pass entry_ids_with_pending_approval to time_entries_overview
- Import: pass skip_entry_requirements=True when creating entries from CSV import
Persist and load auto_sync and sync_interval in settings. Disable sync interval input when auto-sync is off. Add styling for disabled inputs in settings. Preserve project filter when loading filter projects and add selectProject helper for dashboard.
