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

This commit addresses several issues with rich text display and the invoice
PDF layout editor:
Rich Text Rendering:
- Enhanced markdown filter to properly detect and preserve HTML content
from WYSIWYG editor, allowing full rich text styling (colors, fonts,
alignment) to be displayed correctly
- Improved HTML detection logic to distinguish between HTML and markdown
content, ensuring markdown lists are properly processed

- Prevents audit logging from interfering with test transactions
- Add db.session.refresh() after commits to ensure fresh state
- Fixes SQLite database locked errors in model and route tests
All three issues (code quality checks, route test failures, and database
locked errors) are now resolved.
- Replace hardcoded English strings with translation function calls in 36 template files
- Update translation files for all supported languages (ar, de, es, fi, fr, he, it, nb, nl, no)
- Add over 55,000 new translation entries across all language files

This commit significantly improves the application's multilingual support
by making previously hardcoded strings translatable.
- Add 'nb' (Norwegian Bokmål) to translation extraction script
This ensures Norwegian translations are properly included when
extracting and updating translation catalogs.
- Improve translation compilation error logging
Add exc_info=True to log full exception tracebacks when translation
compilation fails, making it easier to diagnose issues with missing
or corrupted .mo files.
Fixes issue where Norwegian (norsk) translations were not working
due to missing compiled .mo files. The app will now properly compile
Norwegian translations on startup, and any compilation errors will
be logged with full stack traces for debugging.
Replace display:none with visibility-based hiding to reserve space
for the support banner from page load. This prevents the page from
jumping when the banner becomes visible after the 2-second delay.

The onboarding tour was incorrectly rendering on mobile devices (width < 768px), appearing as a small dot in the top-left corner with a dark overlay that blocked app access on the dashboard screen.
Changes:
- Add mobile detection (width <= 768px) in OnboardingManager.init() to prevent tour initialization on mobile devices
- Skip auto-start of tour on mobile in DOMContentLoaded handler
- Mark tour as completed on mobile to prevent future attempts
- Add window resize handler to cancel active tour if window is resized to mobile size

- Add "Support" button in header (visible on md+ screens) with amber gradient styling
- Add dismissible support banner that appears after 2 seconds with 7-day cooldown
- Enhance sidebar BuyMeACoffee link with gradient background and hover effects
- Keep existing dashboard widget for BuyMeACoffee (gradient card in sidebar)
- Add translation strings for new support-related UI elements
The new approach provides multiple touchpoints:
1. Header button - Always visible but subtle
2. Dismissible banner - Appears occasionally, respects user choice
3. Dashboard widget - Contextual placement on main dashboard
4. Sidebar link - Always accessible in navigation
This ensures users can easily find the donation option without being
overwhelmed by intrusive prompts.

Implement per-project Kanban column workflows, allowing different projects
to have their own custom kanban board columns and task states.
Changes:
- Add project_id field to KanbanColumn model (nullable, NULL = global columns)
- Create Alembic migration 043 to add project_id column with foreign key
- Update unique constraint from (key) to (key, project_id) to allow same
keys across different projects
- Update all KanbanColumn model methods to filter by project_id:
- get_active_columns(project_id=None)
- get_all_columns(project_id=None)
- get_column_by_key(key, project_id=None)
- get_valid_status_keys(project_id=None)
- initialize_default_columns(project_id=None)
- reorder_columns(column_ids, project_id=None)
- Update kanban routes to support project filtering:
- /kanban/columns accepts project_id query parameter
- /kanban/columns/create supports project selection
- All CRUD operations redirect to project-filtered view when applicable
- API endpoints support project_id parameter
- Update project view route to use project-specific columns
- Update task routes to validate status against project-specific columns
- Add fallback logic: projects without custom columns use global columns
- Update UI templates:
- Add project filter dropdown in column management page
- Add project selection in create column form
- Show project info in edit column page
- Update reorder API calls to include project_id
Database Migration:
- Migration 043 adds project_id column (nullable)

- New unique constraint on (key, project_id)
- Foreign key constraint with CASCADE delete
Backward Compatibility:
- Existing global columns continue to work
- Projects without custom columns fall back to global columns
- Task status validation uses project-specific columns when available
Impact: High - Enables multi-project teams to have different workflows
per project while maintaining backward compatibility with existing
global column setup.
- Add module-level logging import and logger initialization
- Remove redundant logging import from export_invoice_pdf function
- Ensure all logging uses proper logger instance instead of print statements

- Added robust type checking and error handling for date parsing
- Improved hours_by_day() and payments_over_time() with hasattr() checks before strftime() calls
- Added fallback handling to skip invalid date objects gracefully
This prevents analytics dashboard failures when databases return dates in different formats (strings vs date objects).
ented features that were missingUI components, integrations, or proper error handling:1. Time Entry Templates UI Integration - Added template selector to timer page (timer_page.html) - Updated timer route to load user templates - Added JavaScript function to apply templates with one-click - Created missing view.html template for template details - Templates now appear on timer page sorted by most recently used2. Activity Feed Widget Real-time Updates - Added WebSocket integration to Activity model for real-time events - Activity.log() now emits 'activity_created' SocketIO events - Updated activity feed widget to listen for WebSocket events - Feed automatically refreshes when new activities match current filter - Added proper error handling for WebSocket connection failures3. Invoice Routes Logging Improvements - Replaced all print() statements with proper logging in invoices.py - Added structured logging with appropriate log levels (info, debug, warning, error) - Improved error handling with full traceback logging using exc_info=True - All PDF export debug statements now use logger.debug/info/errorFiles changed:- app/routes/timer.py: Added template loading for timer page- app/templates/timer/timer_page.html: Added template selector UI and applyTemplate function- app/models/activity.py: Added WebSocket event emission on activity creation- app/templates/components/activity_feed_widget.html: Added WebSocket listener for real-time updates- app/routes/invoices.py: Replaced print statements with proper logging- app/templates/time_entry_templates/view.html: Created missing view template
When selecting a project in the Dashboard Start Timer modal, all tasks were displayed including those marked as 'done' or 'cancelled'. This made it difficult to find active tasks in projects with many completed tasks.
Changes:
- Updated /api/projects/<project_id>/tasks endpoint to exclude tasks with status 'done' or 'cancelled'
- Only returns active tasks (todo, in_progress, review)
- Added test to verify the filtering behavior
This improves usability by showing only actionable tasks when starting a timer, especially beneficial for larger projects with many tasks.
This commit implements several UX improvements based on user feedback
to make the application more production-ready:
Navigation improvements:
- Add Email Configuration link to Admin side menu for easier access
- Move Time Entry Templates from Work menu to Admin section
- Fix menu dropdown state so Time Entry Templates opens Admin menu
Clickable listings for better navigation:
- Make project names clickable in project list view
- Make client names clickable in project list view
- Make task names clickable in task list view
- Make project names clickable in task list view
- Make client names clickable in client list view
- Add mailto: links for client email addresses in list and detail views
- Make project names clickable in client detail view
Kanban board improvements:
- Support more columns on wider screens (up to 6 columns on 2xl screens)
- Change from fixed 4 columns to responsive: lg:4, xl:5, 2xl:6
Dark mode fixes:
- Fix black calendar/time icons in dark mode by adding proper CSS rules
- Add dark mode color classes to calendar icons
- Ensure icons are visible and properly colored in dark theme
These changes improve discoverability, reduce clicks, and enhance the
overall user experience, especially for power users with wide screens.
parse prepaid hour/reset fields on client edit/create; guard invalid values with new route tests
suppress benign ResizeObserver warnings globally and load handler on standalone pages
raise invoice actions dropdown as a floating menu so it isn’t clipped or scroll-locking
- share a centralized timezone list across admin and user settings
- allow admins to pick from the same list when setting the system default
- let users clear their personal override to fall back to the global default
- add regression tests covering the new helper and reset path
When no filters are active (status, priority, project, assigned_to, search, or overdue), the tasks page now displays all tasks instead of limiting to 20 per page. When filters are active, pagination remains at 20 items per page for better performance.
This fixes the issue where users expected to see all tasks when filters were set to 'All' but only saw the first 20 tasks.
The description field was persisting values from previously created
projects due to localStorage autosave restoration. The autosave feature
was restoring cached descriptions even on fresh page loads.
Solution:
- Only restore from localStorage when form data exists (validation
error scenarios)
- Clear localStorage on fresh page loads to prevent value persistence
- Preserves autosave functionality during validation errors
Fixes#221
