A secure, modern fullstack issue and project management system designed for real-world team collaboration, clarity, and control. Built with a security-first mindset, clean architecture, and scalable patterns suitable for production environments.
This system enables teams to:
- Organize work into projects
- Track issues/bugs per project
- Collaborate through comments
- Enforce strict access control
- Scale features incrementally without architectural rewrites
The stack is intentionally split into independent frontend and backend repositories, allowing each side to evolve independently.
Security is not an afterthought — it is enforced at multiple layers:
- JWT-based authentication (access + refresh tokens)
- Role-based and object-level permissions
- Project-level access control (only members can act)
- Creator/admin-only project editing
- Centralized permission enforcement (not frontend-trusted)
- Token refresh with replay-safe retry queue
- Explicit denial responses (no silent failures)
- Auth-aware API layer
- Automatic token refresh handling
- Protected routes
- Permission-aware UI (actions hidden when unauthorized)
- Centralized error handling (toast-ready)
- Global request loading indicator (UX + transparency)

This system is built with the belief that:
Clarity beats cleverness, security beats shortcuts, and architecture should scale with understanding.
