 - API routes now enforce auth on task read/write/delete (`/api/tasks` returns `401` when unauthenticated).
 - Added `PATCH /api/auth/account` to update profile and password for the current user.
 - Session cookie: `gantt_session` (HTTP-only, same-site lax, secure in production).
+- Optional machine-to-machine auth for API routes:
+  - Set `GANTT_MACHINE_TOKEN` in server env.
+  - Send either `Authorization: Bearer <token>` or `x-gantt-machine-token: <token>`.
+  - Optional identity fields: `GANTT_MACHINE_USER_ID`, `GANTT_MACHINE_USER_NAME`, `GANTT_MACHINE_USER_EMAIL`.
 - Added `Remember me` in auth forms:
   - Checked: persistent 30-day cookie/session.
   - Unchecked: browser-session cookie (clears on browser close), with server-side short-session expiry.
