`tasks.created_by` was ON DELETE CASCADE, so retiring a colleague removed every task they had ever written — including in projects somebody else owns. The interface said so in plain words before you pressed the button, which is a warning rather than a fix. It was the last remaining way to lose other people's work by accident. SET NULL instead: the task stays and loses its author, the same shape `assignee_id` and `completed_by` already have. SQLite cannot alter a foreign key action, so the table is rebuilt — and with foreign keys on, the drop in the middle of a rebuild is a cascading delete that takes every row referencing `tasks` with it. `PRAGMA foreign_keys` is a no-op inside a transaction, so migrations now run on a connection of their own, and a migration can opt out of enforcement with `-- verdande:rebuild-tables`. `PRAGMA foreign_key_check` runs before the commit, so a rebuild that leaves a dangling reference fails the migration rather than writing it. The test fills a database at 0007, upgrades it, and counts. Without the marker it loses a task, a label link and a comment — which is exactly what it is for. The admin list now says two numbers instead of one: what disappears, and what stays behind unattributed. They are different sentences and the second is a reassurance.

The SvelteKit PWA. Not written yet — this directory holds its place so the Docker build has something to copy, and so the frontend stage can tell "not built yet" apart from "the build failed".
The Dockerfile builds this directory when it finds a package.json here, and
otherwise emits a placeholder page. So adding the real app is exactly: put a
SvelteKit project in this directory whose npm run build produces build/.
What it needs to be
- SvelteKit,
adapter-static, output inbuild/. The Go binary embeds that directory at compile time and serves it, falling back toindex.htmlso client-side routes survive a reload. - A PWA: installable, offline reading of already-cached lists, swipe gestures for complete and schedule.
- Nordic minimalism. Dark by default, light available. One accent colour, everything else neutral. Runic mark for Verdande.
- Optimistic on every local action. No spinner ever appears for something the browser could already know the answer to.
Talking to the backend
Same origin — the Go binary serves both. /api/v1 for REST, /api/v1/ws for the
live sync. Session cookie is httpOnly, so the frontend never handles the token
itself.
During development, run the backend on 8080 and point the Vite dev server's proxy at it:
VERDANDE_DATA_DIR=./data VERDANDE_DEV=true go run ./cmd/verdande
