# Dashy Project Refactor: Progress Report

**Objective:** Transition Dashy from a browser-based SQLite (local storage) application to a Client-Server architecture using a Python FastAPI backend with a persistent database.

---

## ✅ Completed Tasks

### 1. Backend Infrastructure Setup
- Created `backend/` directory structure.
- Configured `requirements.txt` with essential libraries (`fastapi`, `sqlalchemy`, `pydantic`, `jose`, etc.).
- **Fix:** Pinned `bcrypt==4.0.1` to resolve compatibility issues with `passlib`.

### 2. Database Modeling
- **Schema Design:** Translated the original `db.js` schema into SQLAlchemy models in `models.py`.
- **Relationships:** Established Many-to-Many relationships for Task Tags and One-to-Many for User Tasks and Notes.
- **Audit Logging:** Implemented a robust Audit Log system to track all user actions.

### 3. API Development
- **Main App (`main.py`):** Set up FastAPI with CORS middleware enabled for frontend communication.
- **Authentication:** Built JWT-based login flow in `auth.py`.
- **Endpoints:** Created initial endpoints for:
    - User retrieval
    - Task CRUD (Create, Read, Update)
    - Audit log retrieval/creation

### 4. Data Migration & Environment Handling
- **Seeding:** Created `seed.py` to migrate initial prototype data into the new database.
- **CIFS/NAS Fix:** 
    - Implemented `DASHY_DB_PATH` environment variable support to allow the database file to reside on a local disk while code stays on the NAS.
    - Added a 30-second connection timeout to mitigate network latency.

## 🚧 Current Status
- **Backend:** Feature-complete for the first phase.
- **Database:** Schema is stabilized, seeding logic is verified, and database is active.
- **Frontend:** Integrated with FastAPI backend via `api.js`. Legacy WASM SQLite files archived.

## ⏭️ Upcoming Steps

### Phase 2: Frontend Refactor & Workflow Polish (✅ Completed)
1. **API Integration:** Created `api.js` to handle network requests, swapped `DashyDB` for async API calls in `app.jsx`, and updated Login to use JWT tokens.
2. **Legacy Cleanup:** Archived `db.js` and `data.jsx` to `Dashy-v1/scraps/` and removed `sql.js` WASM dependency from `Dashy.html`.
3. **API Base URL Fix:** Updated `api.js` to dynamically use the browser's hostname to resolve "Connection Refused" errors.
4. **Audit Rendering Crash Fix:** Resolved the `TASK_AUDIT` ReferenceError by passing live API audit logs into the `TaskDetail` modal.
5. **UI State Refresh Fix:** Modified the `useApiData` hook to fetch subsequent updates silently without unmounting the app (fixing the drag-and-drop refresh bug).
6. **Task Completion:** Added a "Mark as completed" button, removed closed tasks from the main Overview board, and set up audit logging.
7. **User Views Update:** Updated `UserScreen` to accurately display open task counts and render a dedicated, faded "Completed" section for closed tasks.
8. **Task Reopening:** Added a "Reopen task" button to restore accidentally closed tasks back to the queue.
9. **User Management (Settings):** Built backend API endpoints (`POST`, `PATCH`, `DELETE` for `/users`) and wired up the `WorkspaceTab` allowing Admins to manage the team from the UI.
10. **Task Editing:** Implemented inline editing for task descriptions using an active text box state with "Save/Cancel" actions.
11. **UI Cleanup:** Removed hardcoded, prototype placeholder notes from the `TaskDetail` modal to prepare for future dynamic notes integration.
12. **Soft Deletion & Recovery:** Replaced hard-deletion with "Soft Deletion" by adding a `deleted_at` field to the Task model. Created a new Admin-only "Deleted" tab that allows restoring tasks from the trash via a new `/restore` endpoint.
13. **Permanent Deletion Wiring Fix:** Resolved a three-layer bug where the delete button was non-functional by adding the missing props and handlers across three files.
14. **Password Management:** Made the "Change password" flow real with backend password hashing and current-password verification.
15. **Real Login Authentication:** Fixed a security bug where the login screen accepted any password. implemented proper 401 handling.
16. **Network Hardening:** Configured the frontend to use a relative `/api` path via an Nginx SSL reverse proxy.
17. **API Authentication Enforcement:** Applied JWT Bearer token validation to all sensitive routes.
18. **Persistent Workspace Settings:** Added a `Workspace` database model to persist global dashboard settings like Name and Timezone.
19. **Dynamic UI Integration:** Completely refactored the navigation and boards to build columns and tabs dynamically from the live database user list.
20. **Functional Search:** Implemented a real-time task search feature. Clicking the search icon now reveals an inline search bar that filters tasks by title, description, or tags across all views.
21. **Advanced Audit Filtering:** Upgraded the Audit Log for Admins with a search bar and a granular event type filter. Admins can now filter the history by specific actions (e.g., "deleted tasks", "moved tasks", "user management") and search through summaries in real-time.
22. **Persistent Task Reordering:** Implemented drag-and-drop reordering within and between columns.
    - **Backend:** Added a `position` (Float) column to the `tasks` table and updated API endpoints to support position updates and sorted fetching.
    - **UI:** Enhanced the Kanban board with a "drop-between-cards" detection logic and a visual blue drop indicator. Positions are persisted to the database instantly on drop.
23. **Keyboard Shortcuts:** Added global support for keyboard navigation:
    - **`Escape`**: Instantly close any open modal (Task Detail, Add Task, Settings, or Audit Logs).
    - **`n`**: Open the "Add Task" modal from the main dashboard (disabled while typing in inputs).
24. **Drag-and-Drop Stability:** Fixed a bug where tasks would "disappear" if dropped in an invalid area. Tasks now remain visible at their original position if a drop is cancelled.

### Phase 3: Advanced Features
- **Real-time Notifications:** Explore WebSockets for task assignments.
- **iMessage Integration:** Develop the "Molty" bridge for phone-to-task creation.
- **File Uploads:** Support for attaching photos/documents to tasks.
