• Comments & Mentions: Threaded discussion with @mentions, emoji reactions, and edit history.
• Time Tracking: Manual logs and timers; billable/non-billable flags and CSV/Excel export.
• Files & Versions: Uploads with previews and version notes; link from tasks or project wiki.
• Notifications: Email/inline alerts for assignments, due soon, and status changes.
• Reports & Insights: Velocity, cycle/lead time, workload by assignee, and overdue summaries.
• Permissions (RBAC): Admin/manager/member/client roles with granular capabilities.
• Localization: Multi-language UI, date/timezone preferences, and RTL support.
• API & Webhooks: REST endpoints for tasks, projects, time logs; outgoing hooks on updates.

⚙️ Technical Stack

• Backend: PHP 8.x (Laravel-style routing, middleware, policies, queues)
• Frontend: Blade/Twig templates or SPA-ready JSON endpoints; Tailwind/Bootstrap UI
• Database: MySQL/MariaDB (InnoDB, UTF-8MB4)
• Cache & Queue: Redis for sessions, queues, and rate limiting (optional)
• Server Requirements: Nginx/Apache; PHP extensions: pdo_mysql, mbstring, openssl, json, xml, ctype, curl, zip
• Tooling: Composer, Node.js (Vite/Mix); optional Supervisor for workers

🧩 Installation Guide

1. Server Prep: Create a UTF-8MB4 database; enable required PHP extensions; install Composer & Node.js.
2. Deploy Code: Upload files → run composer install --no-dev.
3. Environment: Copy .env.example → .env; set APP_URL, DB, mail (SMTP), cache/queue.
4. App Key & Storage: php artisan key:generate and php artisan storage:link (if applicable).
5. Migrate & Seed: php artisan migrate --seed to create tables, demo project, roles, and sample tasks.
6. Build Assets: npm install → npm run build (or dev locally).
7. Workers & Scheduler: Start php artisan queue:work; cron * * * * * php artisan schedule:run.
8. Go Live: Point domain to public/, enable HTTPS, add HSTS/CSP headers, and create your first project/board.

🧠 Notes

• License: Distributed under the GPL to allow lawful use, study, modification, and redistribution per GPL terms.
• Customization Tips: Keep business rules in services; expose statuses, points, and WIP limits via admin settings; add custom fields with migrations.
• Security: Enforce HTTPS, CSRF protection, and RBAC; enable 2FA for admins; restrict file types and size limits.
• Performance: OPcache + Redis; index on tasks(status, assignee_id, due_at); paginate activity and time logs.
• SEO Assurance: Public docs/landing pages provide meta & schema hooks; private app routes are noindex by default.
