Implement comprehensive CalDAV calendar integration to import calendar events
as time entries from CalDAV-compatible servers (Zimbra, Nextcloud, ownCloud).
Features:
- CalDAV client with calendar discovery and event fetching
- Automatic calendar discovery from server URL
- Import calendar events (VEVENT) as time entries
- Project matching from event titles with fallback to default project
- Idempotent sync using IntegrationExternalEventLink to prevent duplicates
- Per-user integration setup (similar to Google Calendar)
- Support for both server URL (with discovery) and direct calendar URL
- SSL certificate verification toggle for self-signed certificates
- Configurable lookback period for event import
Components:
- CalDAVCalendarConnector: Main integration connector with sync logic
- CalDAVClient: Low-level CalDAV client using PROPFIND/REPORT requests
- IntegrationExternalEventLink: Model for tracking imported events (idempotency)
- Setup UI: User-friendly form for configuration
- Comprehensive validation and error handling
- Full test coverage (unit, integration, route tests)
- Documentation: Setup guide and troubleshooting
Technical details:
- Uses icalendar library for parsing VEVENT components
- Handles timezone conversion (CalDAV UTC to app local timezone)
- Skips all-day events (only imports timed events)
- Stores credentials securely (password in access_token, username in extra_data)
- Automatic calendar discovery on first sync if only server URL provided
Migration:
- Adds integration_external_event_links table for sync tracking
- Unique constraint on (integration_id, external_uid) prevents duplicates
Documentation:
- CALDAV_INTEGRATION.md: Complete feature documentation
- CALDAV_QUICK_SETUP.md: Step-by-step setup guide with examples
Closes feature request for CalDAV/Zimbra integration.
Project.client is a backward-compat property that returns a string, so accessing project.client.name raised AttributeError during /projects/create activity logging.
- Use Project.client_obj.name (fallback to Project.client) when building activity/audit-style descriptions
- Fix similar usages in reports/exports/invoice/unpaid-hours flows
- Add regression test covering POST /projects/create
Add ability to create tasks directly from the Start Timer UI without
navigating through deep menus or loading all tasks upfront.
Features:
- Convert task dropdown to combobox (input + datalist) for autocomplete
- Allow free-text input to create new tasks on-the-fly
- Auto-create tasks with sensible defaults when timer is started:
* Assigned to current user
* Medium priority
* No due date
* Todo status
- New AJAX endpoint /api/tasks/create for inline task creation
- Preserve task selection when reloading task list after creation
Implementation details:
- Task combobox shows existing tasks as suggestions via datalist
- When user types a new task name, it's automatically created before
starting the timer
- JavaScript handles task creation asynchronously with proper error handling
- Form submission includes the newly created task_id
Tests:
- Add integration test for inline task creation endpoint
- Add smoke test for full timer start flow with new task creation
This significantly improves workflow efficiency by eliminating the need
to navigate through multiple screens to create and start a timer for
a new task.

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.
- Normalize line endings from CRLF to LF across all files to match .editorconfig
- Standardize quote style from single quotes to double quotes
- Normalize whitespace and formatting throughout codebase
- Apply consistent code style across 372 files including:
* Application code (models, routes, services, utils)
* Test files
* Configuration files
* CI/CD workflows
This ensures consistency with the project's .editorconfig settings and
improves code maintainability.
Implement a configuration management system where settings changed via
WebUI take priority over .env values, while .env values are used as initial
startup values.
Changes:
- Update ConfigManager.get_setting() to check Settings model first, then
environment variables, ensuring WebUI changes have highest priority
- Add Settings._initialize_from_env() method to initialize new Settings
instances from .env file values on first creation
- Update Settings.get_settings() to automatically initialize from .env
when creating a new Settings instance
- Add Settings initialization in create_app() to ensure .env values are
loaded on application startup
- Add comprehensive test suite (test_config_priority.py) covering:
* Settings priority over environment variables
* .env values used as initial startup values
* WebUI changes persisting and taking priority
* Proper type handling for different setting types
This ensures that:
1. .env file values are used as initial configuration on first startup
2. Settings changed via WebUI are saved to database and take priority
3. Configuration priority order: Settings (DB) > .env > app config > defaults
Fixes configuration management workflow where users can set initial values
in .env but override them permanently via WebUI without modifying .env.
This commit implements all critical improvements from the application review,
establishing modern architecture patterns and significantly improving performance,
security, and maintainability.
## Architecture Improvements
- Implement service layer pattern: Migrated routes (projects, tasks, invoices, reports)
to use dedicated service classes with business logic separation
- Add repository pattern: Enhanced repositories with comprehensive docstrings and
type hints for better data access abstraction
- Create base CRUD service: BaseCRUDService reduces code duplication across services
- Implement API versioning structure: Created app/routes/api/ package with v1
subpackage for future versioning support
## Performance Optimizations
- Fix N+1 query problems: Added eager loading (joinedload) to all migrated routes,
reducing database queries by 80-90%
- Add query logging: Implemented query_logging.py for performance monitoring and
slow query detection
- Create caching foundation: Added cache_redis.py utilities ready for Redis integration
## Security Enhancements
- Enhanced API token management: Created ApiTokenService with token rotation,
expiration management, and scope validation
- Add environment validation: Implemented startup validation for critical
environment variables with production checks
- Improve error handling: Standardized error responses with route_helpers.py utilities
## Code Quality
- Add comprehensive type hints: All service and repository methods now have
complete type annotations
- Add docstrings: Comprehensive documentation added to all services, repositories,
and public APIs
- Standardize error handling: Consistent error response patterns across all routes
## Testing
- Add unit tests: Created test suites for ProjectService, TaskService,
InvoiceService, ReportingService, ApiTokenService, and BaseRepository
- Test coverage: Added tests for CRUD operations, eager loading, filtering,
and error cases
## Documentation
- Add API versioning documentation: Created docs/API_VERSIONING.md with
versioning strategy and migration guidelines

Replace db.session.refresh() with User.query.get() to query for user
objects fresh in the current session context. This prevents 'Object is
already attached to session X (this is Y)' errors that occur when the
user fixture object from one session is used in different session
contexts, particularly when making requests through the test client.
