# COMPLETION SUMMARY - Wekan Data Persistence Architecture Update

**Date Completed**: 2025-12-23  
**Status**: ✅ PHASE 1 COMPLETE  
**Total Time**: Multiple implementation sessions  

---

## 🎉 What Was Accomplished

### Architecture Decision ✅
**Swimlane height and list width are NOW per-board (shared), not per-user (private).**

This means:
- All users on a board see the same swimlane heights
- All users on a board see the same list widths
- Personal preferences (collapse, label visibility) remain per-user
- Clear separation of concerns

### Code Changes ✅

**1. models/swimlanes.js** - Added `height` field
```javascript
height: {
  type: Number,
  optional: true,
  defaultValue: -1,        // -1 = auto, 50-2000 = fixed
  custom() { ... }         // Validation function
}
```
Location: Lines 108-130

**2. models/lists.js** - Added `width` field
```javascript
width: {
  type: Number,
  optional: true,
  defaultValue: 272,       // 272 pixels standard
  custom() { ... }         // Validation function
}
```
Location: Lines 162-182

**3. models/cards.js** - Already correct ✓
- Position stored in `sort` (per-board)
- No changes needed

**4. models/checklists.js** - Already correct ✓
- Position stored in `sort` (per-board)
- No changes needed

**5. models/checklistItems.js** - Already correct ✓
- Position stored in `sort` (per-board)
- No changes needed

### Documentation Created ✅

**6 comprehensive guides** in `docs/Security/PerUserDataAudit2025-12-23/`:

1. **README.md** (Navigation & index)
2. **EXECUTIVE_SUMMARY.md** (For stakeholders)
3. **CURRENT_STATUS.md** (Quick status overview)
4. **DATA_PERSISTENCE_ARCHITECTURE.md** (Complete specification)
5. **IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md** (How to finish the work)
6. **SCHEMA_CHANGES_VERIFICATION.md** (Verification checklist)

Plus 6 existing docs from previous phases:

## 📊 Data Classification (Final)

### Per-Board (✅ Shared - All Users See Same)

| Component | Field | Storage Location | Type | Default |
|-----------|-------|-----------------|------|---------|
| **Swimlane** | height | `swimlane.height` | Number | -1 |
| **List** | width | `list.width` | Number | 272 |
| **Card** | sort (position) | `card.sort` | Number | varies |
| **Card** | swimlaneId | `card.swimlaneId` | String | required |
| **Card** | listId | `card.listId` | String | required |
| **Checklist** | sort (position) | `checklist.sort` | Number | varies |
| **ChecklistItem** | sort (position) | `checklistItem.sort` | Number | varies |
| **All Entities** | title, color, archived, etc. | Document fields | Mixed | Various |

### Per-User (🔒 Private - Only You See Yours)

| Component | Field | Storage Location |
|-----------|-------|-----------------|
| **User** | Collapsed Swimlanes | `user.profile.collapsedSwimlanes[boardId][swimlaneId]` |
| **User** | Collapsed Lists | `user.profile.collapsedLists[boardId][listId]` |
| **User** | Hide Label Text | `user.profile.hideMiniCardLabelText[boardId]` |

## ✅ Validation Rules Implemented

### Swimlane Height Validation
```javascript
custom() {
  const h = this.value;
  if (h !== -1 && (h < 50 || h > 2000)) {
    return 'heightOutOfRange';
  }
}
```
- Accepts: -1 (auto) or 50-2000 pixels
- Rejects: Any value outside this range

### List Width Validation
```javascript
custom() {
  const w = this.value;
  if (w < 100 || w > 1000) {
    return 'widthOutOfRange';
  }
}
```
- Accepts: 100-1000 pixels only
- Rejects: Any value outside this range

## 🔄 What's Left (Phases 2-4)

### Phase 2: User Model Refactoring ⏳
- Refactor user methods in users.js
- Change `getListWidth()` to read from `list.width`
- Change `getSwimlaneHeight()` to read from `swimlane.height`
- Remove per-user storage from user.profile
- Estimated: 2-4 hours
- Details: See [IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md](docs/Security/PerUserDataAudit2025-12-23/IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md)

### Phase 3: Data Migration ⏳
- Create migration script
- Move `user.profile.listWidths` → `list.width`
- Move `user.profile.swimlaneHeights` → `swimlane.height`
- Verify migration success
- Estimated: 1-2 hours
- Template: In [IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md](docs/Security/PerUserDataAudit2025-12-23/IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md)

### Phase 4: UI Integration ⏳
- Update client code
- Update Meteor methods
- Update subscriptions
- Test with multiple users
- Estimated: 4-6 hours
- Details: See [IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md](docs/Security/PerUserDataAudit2025-12-23/IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md)
