Add WTF_CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS to app/config.py (env-driven, comma-separated; default https://track.example.com) to allow CSRF validation when referrer/origin host matches a trusted origin behind a proxy.
Keep existing ProxyFix(x_proto=1, x_host=1, x_for=1, x_port=1) so Flask honors X-Forwarded-* headers.
Ensure forms/AJAX post to the same origin you’ve configured via WTF_CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS.
Add comprehensive HTTPS support with two deployment options:
- mkcert for local development with trusted certificates
- Automatic SSL with Let's Encrypt for production
HTTPS Implementation:
- Add docker-compose.https-mkcert.yml for local HTTPS development
- Add docker-compose.https-auto.yml for automatic SSL certificates
- Create Dockerfile.mkcert for certificate generation
- Add setup scripts (setup-https-mkcert.sh/bat)
- Add startup scripts (start-https.sh/bat)
- Add certificate generation script (generate-mkcert-certs.sh)
CSRF and IP Access Fixes:
- Fix CSRF token validation for IP-based access
- Add CSRF troubleshooting documentation
- Update configuration to handle various access patterns
Documentation:
- Add HTTPS_MKCERT_GUIDE.md with setup instructions
- Add README_HTTPS.md with general HTTPS documentation
- Add README_HTTPS_AUTO.md for automatic SSL setup
- Add AUTOMATIC_HTTPS_SUMMARY.md
- Add CSRF_IP_ACCESS_FIX.md and CSRF_IP_FIX_SUMMARY.md
- Add docs/CSRF_IP_ACCESS_GUIDE.md
- Update main README.md with HTTPS information
Configuration:
- Update .gitignore for SSL certificates and nginx configs
- Update env.example with new HTTPS-related variables
- Update docker-compose.yml with SSL configuration options
This enables secure HTTPS access in both development and production
environments while maintaining compatibility with existing deployments.
Implement comprehensive CSRF token management with cookie-based
double-submit pattern to improve security and SPA compatibility.
Changes:
- Add CSRF cookie configuration in app/config.py
* WTF_CSRF_SSL_STRICT for strict SSL validation in production
* CSRF_COOKIE_NAME (default: XSRF-TOKEN) for framework compatibility
* CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE inherits from SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE by default
* CSRF_COOKIE_HTTPONLY, CSRF_COOKIE_SAMESITE, and CSRF_COOKIE_DOMAIN settings
- Implement CSRF cookie handler in app/__init__.py
* Set CSRF token in cookie after each request
* Configure cookie with secure flags based on environment settings
* Support for double-submit pattern and SPA frameworks
- Add client-side CSRF token management in base.html
* JavaScript utilities for token retrieval and validation
* Cookie synchronization for frameworks that read XSRF-TOKEN
* Auto-refresh mechanism for stale tokens (>15 minutes)
* Pre-submit token validation and refresh
* User notification for missing cookies/tokens
- Clean up docker-compose.yml environment variables
* Remove redundant SECRET_KEY, WTF_CSRF_*, and cookie security settings
* These are now managed through .env files and config.py
This enhancement provides better CSRF protection while maintaining
compatibility with modern JavaScript frameworks and SPA architectures.
- CSRF error handler:
- Treat classic form POSTs as HTML (flash + safe redirect) regardless of
Accept header quirks; return JSON only for XHR/JSON requests
- Add contextual logging (path, method, referrer, user, reason) for diagnostics
- Security/config:
- Enforce strong SECRET_KEY in production (no placeholders, min length);
refuse startup if invalid
- Make SESSION_COOKIE_SAMESITE and REMEMBER_COOKIE_SAMESITE env-driven
while keeping Secure/HttpOnly flags configurable
- Client resilience:
- Refresh CSRF token on window focus in addition to periodic refresh
- Pre-submit refresh if token is stale (>15 minutes)
- Auto-inject/refresh tokens for dynamically added forms via MutationObserver
- UX correctness:
- Ensure tasks.edit_task re-renders with projects/users on validation errors

This commit introduces a comprehensive Kanban board customization system and
improves CSRF token configuration for Docker deployments.
## Major Features
### 1. Customizable Kanban Board Columns
Add complete kanban column customization system allowing users to define
custom workflow states beyond the default columns.
**New Components:**
- Add KanbanColumn model with full CRUD operations (app/models/kanban_column.py)
- Add kanban routes blueprint with admin endpoints (app/routes/kanban.py)
- Add kanban column management templates (app/templates/kanban/)
- Add migration 019 for kanban_columns table (migrations/)
**Features:**
- Create unlimited custom columns with unique keys, labels, icons, and colors
- Drag-and-drop column reordering with position persistence
- Toggle column visibility without deletion
- Protected system columns (todo, in_progress, done) prevent accidental deletion
- Complete state marking for columns that should mark tasks as done
- Real-time updates via SocketIO broadcasts when columns change
- Font Awesome icon support (5000+ icons)
- Bootstrap color scheme integration
- Comprehensive validation and error handling
**Integration:**
- Update Task model to work with dynamic column statuses (app/models/task.py)
- Update task routes to use kanban column API (app/routes/tasks.py)
- Update project routes to fetch active columns (app/routes/projects.py)
- Add kanban column management links to base template (app/templates/base.html)
- Update kanban board templates to render dynamic columns (app/templates/tasks/)
- Add cache prevention headers to force fresh column data
**API Endpoints:**
- GET /api/kanban/columns - Fetch all active columns
- POST /api/kanban/columns/reorder - Reorder columns
- GET /kanban/columns - Column management interface (admin only)
- POST /kanban/columns/create - Create new column (admin only)
- POST /kanban/columns/<id>/edit - Edit column (admin only)
- POST /kanban/columns/<id>/delete - Delete column (admin only)
- POST /kanban/columns/<id>/toggle - Toggle column visibility (admin only)
### 2. Enhanced CSRF Configuration
Improve CSRF token configuration and documentation for Docker deployments.
**Configuration Updates:**
- Add WTF_CSRF_ENABLED environment variable to all docker-compose files
- Add WTF_CSRF_TIME_LIMIT environment variable with 1-hour default
- Update app/config.py to read CSRF settings from environment
- Add SECRET_KEY validation in app/__init__.py to prevent production deployment
with default keys
**Docker Compose Updates:**
- docker-compose.yml: CSRF enabled by default for security testing
- docker-compose.remote.yml: CSRF always enabled in production
- docker-compose.remote-dev.yml: CSRF enabled with production-like settings
- docker-compose.local-test.yml: CSRF can be disabled for local testing

- Indexes on: key, position
- Default data: 4 system columns (todo, in_progress, review, done)
- Support for both SQLite (development) and PostgreSQL (production)
**Real-Time Updates:**
- SocketIO events: 'kanban_columns_updated' with action type
- Automatic page refresh when columns are created/updated/deleted/reordered
- Prevents stale data by expiring SQLAlchemy caches after changes
**Security:**
- Admin-only access to column management
- CSRF protection on all column mutation endpoints
- API endpoints exempt from CSRF (use JSON and other auth mechanisms)
- System column protection prevents data integrity issues
- Validation prevents deletion of columns with active tasks
**Performance:**
- Efficient querying with position-based ordering
- Cached column data with cache invalidation on changes
- No-cache headers on API responses to prevent stale data
- Optimized database indexes for fast lookups
## Breaking Changes
None. This is a fully backward-compatible addition.
Existing workflows continue to work with the default columns.
Custom columns are opt-in via the admin interface.
## Migration Notes
1. Run migration 019 to create kanban_columns table
2. Default columns are initialized automatically on first run
3. No data migration needed for existing tasks
4. Existing task statuses map to new column keys
## Environment Variables
New environment variables (all optional with defaults):
- WTF_CSRF_ENABLED: Enable/disable CSRF protection (default: true)
- WTF_CSRF_TIME_LIMIT: CSRF token expiration in seconds (default: 3600)
- SECRET_KEY: Required in production, must be cryptographically secure
See env.example for complete configuration reference.
