Enable anytime task completion: remove all checkbox-disable restrictions so users can mark tasks done on any calendar day (past, today, or future). When completing a task on a non-due day, recalculate nextDueDate from today (per D-02).
Purpose: Users should never be blocked from marking a task as done. The current behavior of disabling checkboxes for future tasks creates friction and confusion.
Output: All checkboxes always enabled. completeTask() uses today as base for nextDueDate calculation when task is completed on a non-due day.

From lib/features/home/presentation/calendar_task_row.dart:
```dart
class CalendarTaskRow extends StatelessWidget {
const CalendarTaskRow({
super.key,
required this.taskWithRoom,
required this.onCompleted,
this.isOverdue = false,
this.showRoomTag = true,
this.canComplete = true, // Currently defaults to true but overridden with !isFuture
});
final bool canComplete; // When false, checkbox is disabled
}
```
From lib/features/tasks/data/tasks_dao.dart:
```dart
Future completeTask(int taskId, {DateTime? now}) {
// Step 3: calculates next due from task.nextDueDate (original due date)
var nextDue = calculateNextDueDate(
currentDueDate: task.nextDueDate, // <-- This is the line to change for non-due-day
...
);
}
```
From lib/features/tasks/domain/scheduling.dart:
```dart
DateTime calculateNextDueDate({
required DateTime currentDueDate,
required IntervalType intervalType,
required int intervalDays,
int? anchorDay,
});
DateTime catchUpToPresent({
required DateTime nextDue,
required DateTime today,
required IntervalType intervalType,
required int intervalDays,
int? anchorDay,
});
```
Task 1: Remove checkbox-disable restrictions in all three UI files
lib/features/home/presentation/calendar_day_list.dart
lib/features/home/presentation/calendar_task_row.dart
lib/features/tasks/presentation/task_row.dart
lib/features/home/presentation/calendar_day_list.dart
lib/features/home/presentation/calendar_task_row.dart
lib/features/tasks/presentation/task_row.dart
**Per D-01: Remove isFuture / canComplete restrictions.**
1. **calendar_day_list.dart** (line ~271): In the `_buildTaskList` method, change the day tasks loop to always pass `canComplete: true`:
- Remove the line `final isFuture = state.selectedDate.isAfter(today);` (line ~245)
- Change `canComplete: !isFuture` (line ~271) to `canComplete: true`
- The `isFuture` variable can be removed entirely since it is only used for `canComplete`
- Keep the `today` variable — it is still used for `isToday` check in _buildContent
2. **calendar_task_row.dart**: No changes needed. The `canComplete` parameter already defaults to `true` and the widget itself has no internal disable logic. The restriction was applied by the caller (calendar_day_list.dart).
3. **task_row.dart** (lines ~45, ~60-62): Remove the `isFuture` check that disables the checkbox:
- Remove line `final isFuture = dueDate.isAfter(today);` (line ~45)
- Change the `onChanged` from the ternary `isFuture ? null : (_) { ... }` to always-enabled:
```dart
onChanged: (_) {
ref.read(taskActionsProvider.notifier).completeTask(task.id);
},
```
- The `dueDate` and `isOverdue` variables remain — they are used for styling the relative date text color
grep -n "isFuture" lib/features/home/presentation/calendar_day_list.dart lib/features/tasks/presentation/task_row.dart; echo "---"; grep -n "canComplete: true" lib/features/home/presentation/calendar_day_list.dart
- calendar_day_list.dart does NOT contain the string `isFuture`
- calendar_day_list.dart contains `canComplete: true` in the _buildAnimatedTaskRow call for dayTasks
- task_row.dart does NOT contain the string `isFuture`
- task_row.dart does NOT contain `? null` in the Checkbox onChanged handler
- calendar_task_row.dart is unchanged (canComplete param still exists with default true)
All checkboxes are always enabled across calendar and task list views. No isFuture guard remains in UI code.
Task 2: Update completeTask to recalculate nextDueDate from today on non-due-day completion
lib/features/tasks/data/tasks_dao.dart
test/features/tasks/data/tasks_dao_test.dart
lib/features/tasks/data/tasks_dao.dart
lib/features/tasks/domain/scheduling.dart
test/features/tasks/data/tasks_dao_test.dart
- Test: Completing a task ON its due date recalculates nextDueDate from the original due date (existing behavior preserved)
- Test: Completing a weekly task 3 days BEFORE its due date recalculates nextDueDate from today (not original due date) — e.g., task due Friday, completed Tuesday, next due = next Tuesday
- Test: Completing a daily task on a non-due day still produces tomorrow as next due
- Test: Completing a monthly task early recalculates from today with anchor day preserved
**Per D-02 and D-03: When completing a task on a non-due day, recalculate nextDueDate from today.**
In `lib/features/tasks/data/tasks_dao.dart`, method `completeTask()`:
Change step 3 from:
```dart
// 3. Calculate next due date (from original due date, not today)
var nextDue = calculateNextDueDate(
currentDueDate: task.nextDueDate,
intervalType: task.intervalType,
intervalDays: task.intervalDays,
anchorDay: task.anchorDay,
);
```
To:
```dart
// 3. Calculate next due date
// If completing on the due date, use original due date as base (keeps rhythm).
// If completing on a different day (early or late), use today as base (per D-02).
final todayStart = DateTime(currentTime.year, currentTime.month, currentTime.day);
final taskDueDay = DateTime(task.nextDueDate.year, task.nextDueDate.month, task.nextDueDate.day);
final baseDate = todayStart == taskDueDay ? task.nextDueDate : todayStart;
var nextDue = calculateNextDueDate(
currentDueDate: baseDate,
intervalType: task.intervalType,
intervalDays: task.intervalDays,
anchorDay: task.anchorDay,
);
```
Note: The existing `todayDateOnly` variable (line 66-70) can be replaced by `todayStart` since they are the same. Rename to avoid duplication. The catch-up step (step 4) remains unchanged — it still ensures nextDue is not in the past.
Write 4 new test cases in `test/features/tasks/data/tasks_dao_test.dart`:
1. `completeTask on due date preserves rhythm` — weekly task due 2026-03-24, complete on 2026-03-24, next due = 2026-03-31
2. `completeTask before due date recalculates from today` — weekly task due 2026-03-28, complete on 2026-03-24, next due = 2026-03-31 (7 days from today)
3. `completeTask daily task on non-due day` — daily task due 2026-03-26, complete on 2026-03-24, next due = 2026-03-25 (tomorrow)
4. `completeTask monthly task early preserves anchor` — monthly task due 2026-03-28 anchorDay=28, complete on 2026-03-24, next due = 2026-04-28
cd /home/jean-luc-makiola/Development/projects/HouseHoldKeaper && flutter test test/features/tasks/data/tasks_dao_test.dart --reporter compact
- tasks_dao.dart completeTask() contains `final baseDate = todayStart == taskDueDay ? task.nextDueDate : todayStart;`
- tasks_dao.dart completeTask() passes `currentDueDate: baseDate` to calculateNextDueDate
- tasks_dao_test.dart contains test with name matching `completeTask.*before due date.*recalculates from today`
- tasks_dao_test.dart contains test with name matching `completeTask.*on due date.*preserves rhythm`
- All tests in tasks_dao_test.dart pass (exit code 0)
completeTask() uses today as base for non-due-day completions. 4 new tests verify the behavior for on-due-day, before-due-day, daily, and monthly scenarios. All existing tests still pass.
1. `flutter test` — all existing + new tests pass
2. `dart analyze` — zero issues
3. `grep -rn "isFuture" lib/features/home/presentation/calendar_day_list.dart lib/features/tasks/presentation/task_row.dart` — no matches
4. `grep -n "canComplete: true" lib/features/home/presentation/calendar_day_list.dart` — found in dayTasks loop
- Checkboxes are always enabled on all calendar days (past, today, future)
- Checkboxes are always enabled in room task list view
- Completing a task on its due date preserves the original interval rhythm
- Completing a task on a non-due day recalculates from today
- All existing tests pass with zero regressions
- dart analyze reports zero issues
