Projects have carried sort_order since the first migration and nothing
ever set it, so the sidebar was ordered by creation date for good.
POST /projects/reorder takes the whole list rather than one move. A
person has a handful of projects, so sending the order you want is
simpler to reason about than midpoints between neighbours — and it cannot
run out of precision, which is the failure the task ordering has to
respace a section to recover from. It also cannot land half-applied the
way a sequence of individual moves can.
Projects you do not own are skipped rather than refused. sort_order is a
column on the project, not a preference per viewer, so a shared project
sits where its owner put it and a member rearranging their own sidebar
does not rearrange somebody else's. The sidebar only makes your own
projects draggable, so that rule never shows up as a row that springs
back.

A project could be created and shared and never renamed or deleted. Both
have worked through the API since the beginning; there was simply nothing
to click.
The heading is now the field — a heading that happens to be editable
rather than a form that looks like one — and saves on blur, with Escape
putting the old name back. Owner only, and the Inbox keeps its plain
heading because it cannot be either renamed away or deleted.
Deleting needed more than a button. It is soft, with thirty days to
change your mind, and restoring has been possible the whole time — from
an id, which is exactly what you no longer have once the project has gone
from the screen. A recovery window nobody can reach is not one. So
GET /trash/projects lists what you have deleted, with how many tasks went
with it and how long is left, and Settings → Data has the button.
Owned, not shared: a member of a project somebody else deleted has no
business bringing it back, and there is a test that says so.
