---

Integration Fixes Applied

These were caught during review and fixed:

Issue	Fix
Settings field upcoming_days_range	Renamed to upcoming_days
CalendarEvent fields start/end	Renamed to start_datetime/end_datetime
Reminder field dismissed	Renamed to is_dismissed, added is_active
Project status values	Changed from active/on_hold to not_started/in_progress/completed
Calendar API path /calendar/events	Fixed to /events
All update forms using api.patch	Fixed to api.put (backend uses PUT)
Todo toggle using generic PATCH	Fixed to api.patch('/todos/{id}/toggle')
Reminder dismiss using generic PATCH	Fixed to api.patch('/reminders/{id}/dismiss')
Settings update using PATCH	Fixed to api.put
PIN change path /auth/change-pin	Fixed to /settings/pin
Dashboard data shape mismatch	Aligned TodoWidget, CalendarWidget with actual API response
Missing UpcomingWidget in dashboard	Added with /api/upcoming fetch

Post-Build Fixes Applied

These were found during first Docker build and integration testing:

Issue	Fix
Person.relationship column shadowed SQLAlchemy's relationship() function	Aliased import to sa_relationship in person.py
Missing backend/app/__init__.py	Created empty __init__.py for Python package recognition
Backend port 8000 not exposed in docker-compose.yaml	Added ports, healthcheck, and condition: service_healthy
get_db() redundant session.close() inside async with	Removed finally: await session.close()
datetime.utcnow() deprecated in Python 3.12	Replaced with datetime.now(timezone.utc) in todos.py
Calendar date selection wiped start/end fields	Added formatInitialDate() to convert date-only to datetime-local format
Dashboard "today's events" used server UTC time	Added client_date query param so frontend sends its local date
Calendar drag-and-drop didn't persist	Added eventDrop handler with backend PUT call
Timed event drag-and-drop sent timezone-aware datetimes to naive DB column	Used toLocalDatetime() helper instead of .toISOString()
All-day event dates empty when editing (datetime vs date format mismatch)	Added formatForInput() to normalize values for date vs datetime-local inputs
Project create/update MissingGreenlet error (lazy load in async context)	Re-fetch with selectinload(Project.tasks) after commit in projects.py
Generic error toasts gave no useful information	Added getErrorMessage() helper to api.ts, updated all 8 form components

Outstanding Items (Resume Here If Halted)

Critical (blocks deployment):

1. Docker build verification - DONE: All 3 services boot successfully
2. npm install verification - DONE: Frontend packages install correctly

Important (blocks functionality):

3. Alembic migration test - DONE: Tables create correctly on first boot
4. Auth flow test - PIN setup -> login -> session persistence -> logout
5. End-to-end CRUD test - Partially verified: Calendar (create/edit/drag/delete), Projects (create), Dashboard (today's events). Remaining: Todos, Reminders, People, Locations, Settings

Nice to have (polish):

6. Responsive sidebar - Collapse behavior on mobile
7. Toast notifications - DONE: All forms now show meaningful error messages via getErrorMessage()
8. Empty states - Good UX for pages with no data yet
9. Loading skeletons - Better loading states than plain text

How to Resume Development

If development is halted, pick up from the Outstanding Items section above:

1. Check which items are still marked incomplete in the Milestone Tracker
2. Address Critical items first (Docker build verification)
3. Then Important items (auth flow, CRUD testing)
4. Finally Polish items (responsive, loading states)

Quick Start Commands

# Build and run everything
docker-compose up --build

# Rebuild just backend after changes
docker-compose up --build backend

# Rebuild just frontend after changes
docker-compose up --build frontend

# View logs
docker-compose logs -f

# View specific service logs
docker-compose logs -f backend
docker-compose logs -f frontend

# Reset database (destructive)
docker-compose down -v && docker-compose up --build

# Stop everything
docker-compose down

First-Time Setup

1. Run docker-compose up --build
2. Navigate to http://localhost
3. You'll see the PIN setup screen (first run)
4. Create a PIN and you'll be redirected to the dashboard
5. Use the sidebar to navigate between features
