# 0.14.0 — 2026-06-26 — "Task Groups"

- **Added**: **User preference for default task group state** (`board.stackDefaultState`). Until now, when several tasks shared the same `[bracket]` or `#hashtag` title tag, they always rendered as a single collapsible stack (click to expand). The new setting in **Settings → Board → Task groups** lets users pick:
  - **Collapsed (stacked)** — default, current behavior. One summary card per group with a count and a preview line; click to expand.
  - **Expanded (all visible)** — every task in the group is rendered inline as its own card, identical to how untagged tasks display. Useful when the board is mainly used as a flat list rather than a high-density overview.
  - The active search filter still forces expansion regardless of the setting, so search match highlights always remain visible. Per-stack collapse / expand toggles on click still work in both modes.
- **Added**: **CLI parity** — the same `board.stackDefaultState` setting is now configurable from the TUI settings screen (under the **Board** section), so terminal-only users can toggle it without opening the web UI.
- **Added**: **New `board.stackDefaultState` key in `templates/kandown.json`** so fresh installs (`kandown init`) ship with the field explicitly set to `'collapsed'`. Existing projects without the key inherit `'collapsed'` through the existing deep-merge in `readConfigFile` / `loadConfig` — no migration needed.
- **Added**: **English + French translations** for the new setting: `stackDefaultState` ("Task groups" / "Groupes de tâches"), `stackDefaultStateDesc`, `stackCollapsed` ("Collapsed (stacked)" / "Pliées (empilées)"), `stackExpanded` ("Expanded (all visible)" / "Dépliées (toutes visibles)"). Other locales fall back to English until they're updated.
- **Changed**: **`Column.tsx` now combines the user preference with the search filter** when computing `CardStack`'s `defaultExpanded` prop: `config.board.stackDefaultState === 'expanded' || !!filters.search`. Previously the prop only reflected the search state.
