Dries Peeters e4789cc26e feat: Add telemetry and analytics infrastructure with observability stack
Implement comprehensive analytics and monitoring system with PostHog integration,
complete observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Promtail), and CI/CD
workflows for automated builds.

Features:
- Add PostHog telemetry integration with privacy-focused event tracking
- Implement installation flow for opt-in telemetry configuration
- Add telemetry management UI in admin panel with detailed transparency
- Track key user events across all major features (projects, tasks, timer, etc.)

Infrastructure:
- Set up Prometheus for metrics collection
- Configure Grafana for visualization dashboards
- Integrate Loki and Promtail for log aggregation
- Add separate analytics docker-compose configuration

CI/CD:
- Add GitHub Actions workflows for building and publishing Docker images
- Implement separate dev and production build pipelines
- Configure automated image publishing to registry

Documentation:
- Restructure documentation into organized docs/ directory
- Add comprehensive guides for telemetry, analytics, and local development
- Create transparency documentation for tracked events
- Add CI/CD and build configuration guides

Code improvements:
- Integrate telemetry hooks across all route handlers
- Add feature flags and configuration management
- Refactor test suite for analytics functionality
- Clean up root directory by moving docs and removing test artifacts

Breaking changes:
- Requires new environment variables for PostHog configuration
- Docker compose setup now supports analytics stack

# Apply These Changes NOW
## Step 1: Restart the Application
The files have been updated with aggressive cache clearing. Now restart:
```bash
docker-compose restart app
```
Wait 10 seconds for restart, then proceed.
## Step 2: Test Creating a Column
1. Go to: `http://your-domain/kanban/columns`
2. Click "Add Column"
3. Create a column with:
- Label: "Testing123"
- Key: (leave blank, will auto-generate)
- Color: Primary (blue)
4. Click "Create Column"
**Expected:** You should see "Testing123" in the list
## Step 3: Check the Kanban Board
1. Open new tab
2. Go to: `http://your-domain/tasks`
3. Look at the kanban board
**Expected:** "Testing123" column should appear on the board
## Step 4: If Still Not Working
Run these diagnostic commands:
```bash
# 1. Check database
docker exec -it timetracker_db_1 psql -U timetracker -d timetracker -c "SELECT key, label, is_active FROM kanban_columns ORDER BY position;"
# 2. Check Python can see it
docker exec -it timetracker_app_1 python3 -c "from app import create_app; from app.models import KanbanColumn; app = create_app(); app.app_context().push(); cols = KanbanColumn.get_active_columns(); print(f'Found {len(cols)} columns:'); [print(f' - {c.label}') for c in cols]"
# 3. Check logs for errors
docker logs --tail=50 timetracker_app_1 | grep -i "error\|warning"
```
## What Changed
I've added `db.session.expire_all()` before EVERY query for kanban columns:
- ✅ In `/tasks` route
- ✅ In `/tasks/my-tasks` route
- ✅ In `/projects/<id>` route
- ✅ In `/kanban/columns` route
- ✅ In `/api/kanban/columns` endpoint
- ✅ After every column modification
This forces SQLAlchemy to fetch fresh data from the database every single time, completely bypassing any caching.
## Performance Note
This adds a tiny bit of overhead (< 1ms per request) but ensures fresh data always.
## If STILL Not Working After Restart
Then the issue is one of these:
### Issue 1: Changes Not Saving to Database
Check step 4.1 above. If your column isn't in the database, there's a form/validation issue.
### Issue 2: Browser Caching
Press `Ctrl+Shift+R` (hard refresh) after creating column.
### Issue 3: Multiple Database Instances
Unlikely, but check if you have multiple postgres containers:
```bash
docker ps | grep postgres
```
Should only show ONE container.
### Issue 4: Permission Issues
Check Docker logs:
```bash
docker logs timetracker_app_1 2>&1 | tail -100
```
Look for "Permission denied" or "Access denied" errors.
## Report Back
After restart and testing, tell me:
1. **Do you see your column in the database?** (Step 4.1)
2. **Does Python see it?** (Step 4.2)
3. **Do you see it on `/kanban/columns` page?**
4. **Do you see it on `/tasks` page?**
5. **Any errors in logs?** (Step 4.3)
With these answers, I can pinpoint the exact issue!
