# QUICK START - Data Persistence Architecture (2025-12-23)

**STATUS**: ✅ Phase 1 Complete  
**LOCATION**: `/home/wekan/repos/wekan/docs/Security/PerUserDataAudit2025-12-23/`

---

## 🎯 The Change in 1 Sentence

**Swimlane height and list width are now per-board (shared), not per-user (private).**

---

## 📝 What Changed

### Swimlanes (swimlanes.js)
```javascript
✅ ADDED: height: { type: Number, default: -1, range: -1 or 50-2000 }
📍 Line: ~108-130
```

### Lists (lists.js)
```javascript
✅ ADDED: width: { type: Number, default: 272, range: 100-1000 }
📍 Line: ~162-182
```

### Cards, Checklists, ChecklistItems
```javascript
✅ NO CHANGE - Positions already per-board in sort field
```

---

## 📊 Per-Board vs Per-User Quick Reference

### ✅ PER-BOARD (All Users See Same)
- Swimlane height
- List width
- Card/checklist/checklistItem positions
- All titles, colors, descriptions

### 🔒 PER-USER (Only You See Yours)
- Collapsed swimlanes (yes/no)
- Collapsed lists (yes/no)
- Hidden label text (yes/no)

## ✅ What's Complete (Phase 1)

- [x] Schema: Added height to swimlanes
- [x] Schema: Added width to lists
- [x] Validation: Both fields validate ranges
- [x] Documentation: 12 comprehensive guides
- [x] Backward compatible: Both fields optional

---

## ⏳ What's Left (Phases 2-4)

- [ ] Phase 2: Refactor user model (~2-4h)
- [ ] Phase 3: Migrate data (~1-2h)
- [ ] Phase 4: Update UI (~4-6h)

See [IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md](IMPLEMENTATION_GUIDE.md) for details

## 🧪 Quick Test

```javascript
// Test swimlane height validation
Swimlanes.insert({ boardId: 'b1', height: -1 })       // ✅ OK (auto)
Swimlanes.insert({ boardId: 'b1', height: 100 })      // ✅ OK (valid)
Swimlanes.insert({ boardId: 'b1', height: 25 })       // ❌ FAILS (too small)
Swimlanes.insert({ boardId: 'b1', height: 3000 })     // ❌ FAILS (too large)

// Test list width validation
Lists.insert({ boardId: 'b1', width: 272 })           // ✅ OK (default)
Lists.insert({ boardId: 'b1', width: 500 })           // ✅ OK (valid)
Lists.insert({ boardId: 'b1', width: 50 })            // ❌ FAILS (too small)
Lists.insert({ boardId: 'b1', width: 2000 })          // ❌ FAILS (too large)
```
