  • Load all accessible projects on open via projectsApiService.getMyProjectsToTasks() instead of limiting to 3 recent projects
  • Enable instant client-side search filtering on the project select dropdown
  • Exclude archived projects from getMyProjectsToTasks query in ProjectsController
  • Ensure team projects in HomePageController.getProjectsByTeam are ordered alphabetically by name

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Projects in team lists are now sorted alphabetically by name.
    • Projects you’ve archived no longer appear in the project list when logging time.
    • The time-logging dialog loads project options when opened and filters them locally as you search. Task searches update immediately when the search field is empty and are briefly delayed as you type.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The task-project endpoint excludes projects archived by the requesting user. The time-entry modal loads projects through that endpoint and filters them locally. Task requests use the selected project, with non-empty searches debounced by 200 ms. Team project results are sorted by name.

The modal loads projects through getMyProjectsToTasks, filters options locally, and fetches tasks immediately for empty searches or after a 200 ms debounce for non-empty searches. Tests cover project display and task requests after selection.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to eaf9b

The quick time entry modal can occasionally show a project list or task list that belongs to an earlier selection when responses arrive out of order. This is a minor, self-correcting glitch. Adding cancellation guards would fix it, and it is not a merge blocker.

Ignore stale project responses when the modal closes or reopens.

The .then, .catch, and .finally callbacks update state without a cancellation guard. The effect has no cleanup. If open changes quickly, an older response can overwrite the newer project list. It can also call setProjectLoading(false) while the newer request is still pending. Add a cancelled flag and return a cleanup function from the effect.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Ignore stale task responses after the selected project or search term changes.

fetchTasks runs without a cancellation guard. An older, slower response can overwrite tasks for a newer project or search term. The immediate empty-search path makes this more likely. The effect also has no cleanup for the pending timer when its dependencies change. Add a cancelled flag and return a cleanup function that clears the timer and sets the flag.

Proposed fix
+    let cancelled = false;
     const fetchTasks = async () => {
       setTaskLoading(true);
       try {
         const res = await taskTimeLogsApiService.getMyTasksInProject(
           selectedProject.id,
           taskSearchTerm || undefined
         );
-        if (res.done) setTasks(res.body as ITaskInProject[]);
+        if (!cancelled && res.done) setTasks(res.body as ITaskInProject[]);
       } catch {
-        setTasks([]);
+        if (!cancelled) setTasks([]);
       } finally {
-        setTaskLoading(false);
+        if (!cancelled) setTaskLoading(false);
       }
     };
 
     if (!taskSearchTerm) {
       fetchTasks();
     } else {
       taskSearchTimerRef.current = setTimeout(fetchTasks, 200);
     }
+    return () => {
+      cancelled = true;
+      if (taskSearchTimerRef.current) clearTimeout(taskSearchTimerRef.current);
+    };

Based on learnings: a React effect that starts a timer must clear it in its cleanup function.

Update the task-fetching effect in LogTimeModal so responses from an outdated
selectedProject or taskSearchTerm cannot update tasks or taskLoading. Add a
cancellation guard around the fetch result, error, and loading updates, and
return effect cleanup that marks the request cancelled and clears any pending
taskSearchTimerRef timer.
