Implement a complete issue management system with client portal integration
and internal admin interface for tracking and resolving client-reported issues.
Features:
- New Issue model with full lifecycle management (open, in_progress, resolved, closed, cancelled)
- Priority levels (low, medium, high, urgent) with visual indicators
- Issue linking to projects and tasks
- Create tasks directly from issues
- Client portal integration for issue reporting and viewing
- Internal admin routes for issue management, filtering, and assignment
- Comprehensive templates for both client and admin views
- Status filtering and search functionality
- Issue assignment to internal users
- Automatic timestamp tracking (created, updated, resolved, closed)
Client Portal:
- Clients can report new issues with project association
- View all issues with status filtering
- View individual issue details
- Submit issues with optional submitter name/email
Admin Interface:
- List all issues with advanced filtering (status, priority, client, project, assignee, search)
- View, edit, and delete issues
- Link issues to existing tasks
- Create tasks from issues
- Update issue status, priority, and assignment
- Issue statistics dashboard
Technical:
- Added Issue model with relationships to Client, Project, Task, and User
- New issues blueprint for internal management
- Extended client_portal routes with issue endpoints
- Updated model imports and relationships
- Added navigation links in base templates
- Version bump to 4.6.0
- Code cleanup in docker scripts and schema verification
- Fix AUTH_METHOD=none: Read from Flask app config instead of Config class
- Add comprehensive schema verification: Verify all SQLAlchemy models against
database and auto-fix missing columns
- Improve startup logging: Unified format with timestamps and log levels
- Enhanced migration flow: Automatic schema verification after migrations
Fixes authentication issue where password field showed even with AUTH_METHOD=none.
Ensures all database columns from models exist, preventing missing column errors.
Improves startup logging for better debugging and monitoring.
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.
