* build: drop unused elevate.exe from Windows build #8135
elevate.exe is bundled by electron-builder's NSIS target solely so
electron-updater can apply privileged per-machine updates. We ship no
in-app auto-updater (electron-updater is not a dependency; the autoUpdater
block in electron/start-app.ts is commented out), so the binary is unused
dead weight and a frequent AV false-positive. Set packElevateHelper: false
to stop bundling it; safe because perMachine is not true.
* docs: flag task component (perf) and sync system (correctness) as high-risk areas
* fix(backup): add Android automatic backup restore
Adds a settings action for restoring the latest Android automatic backup without dirtying config state. Reuses the existing mobile backup import flow and documents the restore path.
* fix(backup): harden manual mobile backup restore
Require a usable mobile backup before restoring from Settings and use confirmation copy that warns current local data will be replaced.
* refactor(backup): address review on mobile restore action
Restore the config-section items-vs-customSection render invariant (the
action row is a sibling block, so loosening the guard was unnecessary)
and document why the isUsableBackupStr gate is not redundant with the
ring loader (selectBestBackupStr can return a corrupt fallback blob).
* feat(backup): confirm restore success and warn about cross-device replace
- Show a success snack after a Settings restore completes (was silent).
- Make the confirm copy honest that restore propagates to other synced
devices on next sync; document the same in the wiki.
- Add config-section.component.spec covering the onAction pending/error paths.
- Note that the iOS branch is intentionally unwired (Android-only per #8066).
* refactor(backup): dedupe mobile backup-load ternary
Extract _loadBestMobileBackupStr() — the identical
isAndroidWebView ? loadBackupAndroid() : loadBackupIOS() ternary was
duplicated across the startup and settings restore paths.
* test(config): destroy fixture in config-section spec teardown
Defensive teardown so the spec can't leak DOM/fixture state into later
specs in the shared Karma run.
* test(layout): restore document.activeElement clobbered in focus specs
The Focus restoration specs override document.activeElement via
Object.defineProperty but never restored it, so the static value leaked
into the shared Karma session and made TaskService.focusTaskById specs
fail intermittently (random spec order). Delete the override in afterEach,
mirroring task-shortcut.service.spec.
* fix(e2e): stabilize undo task delete sync test
Two flakiness sources fixed:
- Click on task element could activate title inline editor, causing
Backspace to edit text instead of triggering delete. Now clicks the
drag handle which calls focusSelf() without entering edit mode.
- Replaced deleteTask helper with inline sequence to avoid wasting
2s of the 5s undo snackbar window on dialog-detection timeout.
* refactor: address code review findings from 2026-02-03
- Extract getBreakCycle helper to replace error-prone `cycle - 1 || 1`
pattern at 3 call sites
- Add clarifying comment on intentionally broad 'timed out' match
- Reduce Pomodoro E2E test from 9 to 5 sessions (sufficient coverage)
- Remove dead _isTransientNetworkError wrapper from DropboxApi
- Extract stubWindowConfirm helper in task reducer tests
* fix(sync): prevent Formly from clearing provider config on show (#6345)
resetOnHide: true caused Formly to reset field values when provider
fieldGroups transitioned from hidden to visible, discarding user input
if sync was enabled before selecting a provider.
* fix(tasks): fix huge space between emoji and text in tag/project menus
Use matMenuItemIcon attribute on emoji spans so they project into the
icon slot of mat-menu-item instead of the text slot. Update emoji icon
sizing to 24x24px to match mat-icon and add overflow: hidden.
Closes#5977
* fix(tasks): guard against undefined task entities in selectors and archive (#6359)
Prevent TypeError crashes (reading 'dueWithTime', 'dueDay', 'issueProviderId') caused
by orphaned IDs in NgRx state. Fix archive merge to deduplicate IDs, filter orphans,
and use correct entity precedence (young over old). Add defensive null guards to
selectors and archive/task service methods.
* fix(tasks): guard against undefined task in mainListTasksInProject$ (#6360)
* fix(tasks): detect and sanitize orphaned task IDs to prevent startup crashes (#6359, #6360)
Orphaned task IDs (entries in task.ids without matching entities) caused
TypeError on app startup. Fix addresses three layers: validation now
flags orphaned IDs instead of silently skipping them, loadAllData
sanitizes IDs on load as a safety net, and data repair no longer crashes
when encountering orphaned IDs it's trying to fix.
* fix(sync): prevent recurring task duplication across clients
Remove SuperSync special-case that bypassed initial sync wait, causing
repeatable task effects to fire before sync completed. Add post-sync
cleanup effect that detects and removes stale duplicate repeat instances
when multiple active instances exist for the same repeat config.
* fix(sync): restore WebDAV provider compatibility warning text
* feat(sync): mark WebDAV and LocalFile sync options as experimental
* feat(plugins): add UI Kit with inject-first CSS strategy for iframe plugins
Introduce a lightweight CSS reset (UI Kit) that auto-styles basic HTML
elements in plugin iframes to match the host app theme. Injected after
<head> so plugin styles always win by source order.
UI Kit provides: element resets (body, headings, buttons, inputs, tables,
links, code, lists, hr), .btn-primary/.btn-outline button variants, and
.card/.card-clickable components.
All bundled plugins updated to use UI Kit classes, removing redundant
custom CSS (-542 lines net). Pico CSS removed from automations plugin.
sync-md converted from hardcoded colors to host theme variables.
* feat(plugins): extract shared CSS utilities into UI Kit
Move .text-muted, .text-primary, .page-fade and @keyframes fadeIn from
plugin CSS into the UI Kit so all iframe plugins get them automatically.
Add box-shadow focus ring to input:focus for better accessibility.
Remove per-plugin focus overrides now covered by the UI Kit.
* docs(wiki): enhance keyboard shortcuts documentation
Added detailed descriptions of functional grouping for keyboard shortcuts, including categories such as Global, Navigation, Task management, and UI panels. Updated the Global Shortcuts section for clarity and included platform-specific differences, configurable vs reserved shortcuts, context-dependent behavior, and storage definitions. This improves user understanding of the shortcut system and its configuration.
* docs(wiki): add reference to Web App vs Desktop differences
Updated the 3.00-Reference and 3.02-Settings-and-Preferences documentation to include a new section on differences between the Web app and Desktop app, linking to the newly created [[3.05-Web-App-vs-Desktop]] page. This enhances clarity and provides users with a direct reference for understanding the distinctions.
* docs(wiki): expand short syntax documentation
Enhanced the 3.04-Short-Syntax.md file by detailing the four main short syntax forms for task metadata: tags, projects, time estimates, and due dates. Each syntax form now includes its purpose, grammar, valid and invalid examples, and additional parsing rules. This update improves user understanding of how to effectively utilize short syntax in task management.
* docs(wiki): add User Data reference to documentation
Included a new reference to [[3.06-User-Data]] in both the 3.00-Reference and _Sidebar.md files. This addition enhances navigation and provides users with direct access to information regarding user data management.
* docs(wiki): expand API documentation for Sync Server and Plugin API
Added comprehensive details on the Sync Server REST API and Plugin API, including authentication methods, endpoint descriptions, request/response schemas, error codes, rate limits, and data retention policies. This update significantly enhances the documentation, providing users with a clearer understanding of the APIs available for data synchronization and plugin development.
