feat: add task blocker dependency graph + actionable now view

- New task_blockers join table (many-to-many, cross-project) - Cycle detection prevents circular dependencies - GET /api/tasks/{id}/blockers and /blocking endpoints - POST/DELETE /api/tasks/{id}/blockers/{blocker_id} - GET /api/actionable — all non-done tasks with no incomplete blockers - BlockerPanel.jsx — search & manage blockers per task (via task menu) - ActionableView.jsx — "what can I do right now?" dashboard grouped by project - "Now" button in nav header routes to actionable view - migrate_add_blockers.py migration script for existing databases Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

+# Project Archive Feature
+
+## Overview
+
+The Break It Down (BIT) application now supports archiving projects! This helps you organize your workspace by hiding completed or inactive projects from the main view while keeping them accessible.
+
+## Features Added
+
+### 1. **Archive Status**
+- Projects can be marked as archived or active
+- Archived projects are kept in the database but hidden from the default view
+- All tasks and data are preserved when archiving
+
+### 2. **Tab Navigation**
+The main Projects page now has three tabs:
+- **Active** (default) - Shows only non-archived projects
+- **Archived** - Shows only archived projects
+- **All** - Shows all projects regardless of archive status
+
+### 3. **Quick Actions**
+Each project card now has two action buttons:
+- **Archive/Unarchive** (📦/↩️) - Toggle archive status
+- **Delete** (🗑️) - Permanently delete the project
+
+### 4. **Visual Indicators**
+- Archived projects appear with reduced opacity and gray border
+- "(archived)" label appears next to archived project names
+- Context-aware empty state messages
+
+## Database Changes
+
+A new column has been added to the `projects` table:
+- `is_archived` (BOOLEAN) - Defaults to `False` for new projects
+
+## Installation & Migration
+
+### For New Installations
+No action needed! The database will be created with the correct schema automatically.
+
+### For Existing Databases
+
+If you have an existing Break It Down database, run the migration script:
+
+```bash
+cd backend
+python3 migrate_add_is_archived.py
+```
+
+This will add the `is_archived` column to your existing projects table and set all existing projects to `is_archived=False`.
+
+### Restart the Backend
+
+After migration, restart the backend server to load the updated models:
+
+```bash
+# Stop the current backend process
+pkill -f "uvicorn.*backend.main:app"
+
+# Start the backend again
+cd /path/to/break-it-down
+uvicorn backend.main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8001
+```
+
+Or if using Docker:
+```bash
+docker-compose restart backend
+```
+
+## API Changes
+
+### Updated Endpoint: GET /api/projects
+
+New optional query parameter:
+- `archived` (boolean, optional) - Filter projects by archive status
+  - `archived=false` - Returns only active projects
+  - `archived=true` - Returns only archived projects
+  - No parameter - Returns all projects
+
+Examples:
+```bash
+# Get active projects
+GET /api/projects?archived=false
+
+# Get archived projects
+GET /api/projects?archived=true
+
+# Get all projects
+GET /api/projects
+```
+
+### Updated Endpoint: PUT /api/projects/{id}
+
+New field in request body:
+```json
+{
+  "name": "Project Name",          // optional
+  "description": "Description",    // optional
+  "statuses": [...],              // optional
+  "is_archived": true             // optional - new!
+}
+```
+
+### New API Helper Functions
+
+The frontend API client now includes:
+- `archiveProject(id)` - Archive a project
+- `unarchiveProject(id)` - Unarchive a project
+
+## File Changes Summary
+
+### Backend
+- `backend/app/models.py` - Added `is_archived` Boolean column to Project model
+- `backend/app/schemas.py` - Updated ProjectUpdate and Project schemas
+- `backend/app/main.py` - Added `archived` query parameter to list_projects endpoint
+- `backend/app/crud.py` - Updated get_projects to support archive filtering
+- `backend/migrate_add_is_archived.py` - Migration script (new file)
+
+### Frontend
+- `frontend/src/pages/ProjectList.jsx` - Added tabs, archive buttons, and filtering logic
+- `frontend/src/utils/api.js` - Added archive/unarchive functions and updated getProjects
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Archive a Project
+1. Go to the Projects page
+2. Click the archive icon (📦) on any project card
+3. The project disappears from the Active view
+4. Switch to the "Archived" tab to see it
+
+### Unarchive a Project
+1. Switch to the "Archived" tab
+2. Click the unarchive icon (↩️) on the project card
+3. The project returns to the Active view
+
+### View All Projects
+Click the "All" tab to see both active and archived projects together.
+
+## Status vs Archive
+
+**Important distinction:**
+- **Task Status** (backlog, in_progress, on_hold, done) - Applied to individual tasks within a project
+- **Project Archive** - Applied to entire projects to organize your workspace
+
+The existing task status "on_hold" is still useful for pausing work on specific tasks, while archiving is for entire projects you want to hide from your main view.
+
+## Backward Compatibility
+
+All changes are backward compatible:
+- Existing projects will default to `is_archived=false` (active)
+- Old API calls without the `archived` parameter still work (returns all projects)
+- The frontend gracefully handles projects with or without the archive field
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential additions:
+- Archive date tracking
+- Bulk archive operations
+- Archive projects from the ProjectSettings modal
+- Auto-archive projects after X days of inactivity
+- Project status badges (active, archived, on-hold, completed)

serversdown	5da6e075b4	feat: add task blocker dependency graph + actionable now view - New task_blockers join table (many-to-many, cross-project) - Cycle detection prevents circular dependencies - GET /api/tasks/{id}/blockers and /blocking endpoints - POST/DELETE /api/tasks/{id}/blockers/{blocker_id} - GET /api/actionable — all non-done tasks with no incomplete blockers - BlockerPanel.jsx — search & manage blockers per task (via task menu) - ActionableView.jsx — "what can I do right now?" dashboard grouped by project - "Now" button in nav header routes to actionable view - migrate_add_blockers.py migration script for existing databases Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>	2026-03-29 16:08:55 -04:00
