- Add '+ Add task' button in Kanban and Gantt headers linking to create
with project (and status for Kanban) pre-filled
- Support 'next' redirect after task create; validate to allowed paths
(/kanban, /gantt, /tasks, /projects) to avoid open redirects
- Honor Initial Status on create: TaskService and form now pass status
through; create form pre-fills status from query and hidden 'next'
- Per-column '+' on Kanban to add task into that column (status pre-set)
- Return user to same Kanban/Gantt view after creating a task
Stock devaluation for return and waste movements was already implemented via valuation layers (stock lots). This change hardens and documents it:

- Add API tests for POST /api/v1/inventory/movements with devalue_enabled (return and waste).
- Add discoverability hint on Record Movement form when type is Return or Waste.
- Document stock devaluation in INVENTORY_MANAGEMENT_PLAN.md (subsection 5.3) and list devaluation in movement_type.

Import window and web activity from a local ActivityWatch aw-server
(https://activitywatch.net/) as automatic time entries (source='auto').
- Add ActivityWatchConnector: test_connection, sync_data, get_config_schema

optional bucket_ids (default: aw-watcher-window_* and aw-watcher-web_*)
- No OAuth; setup at /integrations/activitywatch/setup
- Idempotent sync via IntegrationExternalEventLink and external_uid
- Register connector; treat activitywatch as per-user in IntegrationService

calendar month" for monthly runs; migration 111.
- Override report date range in ScheduledReportService when
cadence=monthly and use_last_month_dates=true.

last 30 days) and applyUnpaidPreset().

- Define canvas at top of script so edit-mode IIFE and addDataSourceToCanvas
can use it; fix applyUnpaidPreset/onclick when script failed to parse.
- Click-to-add for Data Sources and Components (in addition to drag-and-drop).
- Set dataTransfer.effectAllowed = 'copy' in dragstart for drop compatibility.
- Fix save-form handler: remove orphan try { with no catch that caused
SyntaxError and prevented applyUnpaidPreset (and rest of script) from loading.
Documentation
- Add docs/reports/UNPAID_BY_SALESMAN_AND_SCHEDULED_REPORTS.md (unpaid
definition, unpaid-by-salesman setup, SalesmanEmailMapping, template use).

Fix: Preserve task selection when duplicating time entriesWhen duplicating a time entry with an assigned task, the task was notbeing pre-selected in the duplicate form. This was caused by thetemplate application code interfering with the duplication logic.The template code would run after duplication data was set, overwritingthe `data-selected-task-id` attribute and clearing the task selectioneven when no template was being applied.Changes:- Added isDuplicating flag check in manual_entry.html to prevent template application code from running during duplication- Template functionality continues to work normally for non-duplicate manual entries- Added comprehensive test to verify task pre-selection is preserved- Updated documentation with fix notes and changelog entryImpact:- Users can now duplicate time entries with tasks and the task will be correctly pre-selected, saving time and improving UX- No breaking changes - all existing tests pass (54/54)- Clean separation between duplication and template featuresTests:- test_duplicate_with_task_not_overridden_by_template_code (new)- All 22 duplication tests passing- All 32 template tests passing
