Finalizes the docs section after an adversarial audit (code review + per-page fact-check + coherence critic) and two content requests. - Accuracy: fixed 10 invented cross-link slugs, the admin-vs-board gating claims the verifiers caught (permissions matrix, /settings, invites, onboarding, connect-payments, proposal withdraw, Stripe reconciliation, member fields, door.operate), and 2 issues in the new pages (project area-at-creation, forum thread-delete role). - Coverage: added 5 how-to pages so every module is documented (recurring Stripe dues, tasks & chores, projects, comms & forum, ops knowledge base + secrets vault). 34 pages total. - Screenshots: 12 captioned app screenshots under public/docs-media/, embedded as figures. Each tutorial now has 2-3 step screenshots. - Style: removed all em-dashes/en-dashes/ellipses from the docs (natural ASCII punctuation). - Handoff (docs/HANDOFF-audit-cleanup.md) updated with the current state. typecheck 0 · lint 0 errors · build ok (all 34 /docs pages prerendered)

Projects are how your space tracks shop builds and multi-step work on a shared board: backlog, in progress, review, and done. Any member can create a project and move it across the board; only board members and admins can delete one. This recipe covers creating a project, setting its details, and reading progress on the board.
Before you start
- View the board, create a project, change a project's status: any current member of the space.
- Delete a project:
boardoradminrole. The board's delete control is offered to everyone, but the database rejects the delete unless you hold one of those roles, so a non-privileged member will see an error. - Projects are scoped to your space. You only ever see and edit projects that belong to the space you are a member of.
Create a project
- Go to /projects and click New Project. You can also use + Add project at the foot of any column, or the button on the empty state.
- Enter a Title (required, up to 200 characters).
- Optionally add a Description (up to 2000 characters).
- Choose an Area from the dropdown. The list comes from your space's configured areas (Woodshop, Electronics, Laser, and so on); if none are set up, a default list is shown. Leave it on No area to skip. See Customize your space to define areas.
- Optionally set a Due Date and add Tags as a comma-separated list (for example
electronics, hardware, cnc), up to 20 tags. - Click Create Project.
New projects always start in the Backlog column. Status and lead cannot be chosen at creation time (status defaults to backlog).
Set status on the board
The board groups projects into four columns by status: Backlog, In Progress, Review, and Done. Each column header shows a count of the projects in it.
To move a project, open the status dropdown on its card and pick the new column. The card moves immediately and the change is saved.
Note one edge case: the underlying status field also has a blocked value, but the board has no blocked column and the dropdown does not offer it. A project set to blocked outside this screen will not appear in any column here.
Read progress and details
Each card shows the title, an optional description, the area and due date, any tags, and a thin progress bar. The bar reflects the project's stored progress value (0 to 100 percent), which is driven by the project's linked tasks rather than edited by hand on this screen. See /tasks to add work items to a project.
Members and leads
The projects schema keeps a lead and assignee fields, but the board screen does not expose controls to set them. Creating and moving projects here does not assign a lead or members; those fields stay empty unless populated elsewhere.
Delete a project
Hover a card and click the small x in its top-right corner, then confirm. Deletion is permanent. If you lack the board or admin role, the action returns an error and the project stays put.
