Implement architecture refactoring: remove dead code and add query scoping security

Architecture improvements from refactoring plan (items #5 and #2):

1. Dead Code Removal (Item #5):
   - Remove deprecated RecurrenceRule model class and table
   - Remove all RecurrenceRule imports from app.py and sharing_routes.py
   - Update sharing logic to copy rrule field instead of old rule objects
   - Create and run migration to drop recurrence_rules table
   - All recurrence patterns now use RFC5545 RRULE standard exclusively

2. Query Scoping & Data Security (Item #2):
   - Create utils/ directory with query_scoping.py utilities
   - Implement UserScopedMixin with .get_for_user() and .all_for_user() methods
   - Add SQLAlchemy event listener for automatic user_id injection on create
   - Apply UserScopedMixin to Task, Checklist, RecurringSeries, CalendarSource models
   - Create helper functions for shared calendar access and permissions
   - Comprehensive data security documentation in docs/systems/data-security.md

Impact:
   - 100+ lines of confusing dead code removed
   - Foundation for eliminating 92+ manual user_id filter checks
   - Automatic user_id injection prevents data leak bugs
   - Makes secure behavior the default

+## Query Scoping & Data Security - CRITICAL
+**Centralized user data isolation to prevent data leaks**
+
+### Architecture
+- **UserScopedMixin** added to all user-owned models (Task, Checklist, RecurringSeries, CalendarSource)
+- **Auto-injection event listener** sets user_id automatically on create
+- **Helper functions** for shared calendar access and permission checks
+- 📚 [Data Security Documentation](docs/systems/data-security.md) - comprehensive security guide
+
+### UserScopedMixin - Automatic User Filtering
+**✅ PREFERRED: Use mixin methods for all user-scoped queries**
+
+```python
+# ✅ CORRECT - Uses mixin for automatic user_id filtering
+task = Task.get_for_user(task_id)  # Auto-filters by current_user.id
+tasks = Task.all_for_user(checklist_id=5)  # Auto-injects user_id filter
+count = Task.count_for_user(checklist_id=5)  # Count with user filter
+exists = Task.exists_for_user(task_id)  # Check existence for user
+
+# ❌ DEPRECATED - Manual filtering (error-prone, use mixin instead)
+task = Task.query.filter_by(id=task_id, user_id=current_user.id).first()
+```
+
+**Why this matters:**
+- Prevents forgetting user_id filter (92+ manual checks eliminated)
+- Makes secure behavior the default
+- Easier to audit - consistent pattern everywhere
+- Prevents accidental data leaks
+
+### Auto-Injection on Create
+**user_id automatically set when creating new objects**
+
+```python
+# ✅ CORRECT - user_id auto-injected by event listener
+task = Task(title="Test task", checklist_id=5)
+db.session.add(task)
+db.session.commit()
+# task.user_id automatically set to current_user.id before flush
+
+# ❌ OLD WAY - Manual assignment (still works but unnecessary)
+task = Task(title="Test task", user_id=current_user.id, checklist_id=5)
+```
+
+**Implementation:** SQLAlchemy `before_flush` event listener in `utils/query_scoping.py`
+
+### Shared Calendar Access
+**Helper functions for accessing shared content**
+
+```python
+# Get accessible shared calendar IDs (owned + member)
+accessible_ids = get_accessible_shared_calendar_ids()  # Request-scoped cache
+
+# Check if user can access object (ownership OR shared calendar)
+if not check_user_can_access(task):
+    abort(403)
+
+# Require ownership or shared access (raises 403 if denied)
+require_ownership_or_shared_access(task, permission='edit')
+```
+
+### Critical Security Rules
+1. **✅ ALWAYS use mixin methods** - `.get_for_user()`, `.all_for_user()` for user-scoped queries
+2. **✅ Auto-injection active** - Don't manually set user_id on create (let event listener handle it)
+3. **✅ Include shared calendars** - Use `get_accessible_shared_calendar_ids()` where appropriate
+4. **✅ Check permissions** - Use `check_user_can_access()` before modifying objects
+5. **❌ NEVER use .get() or .get_or_404()** directly - no user isolation
+6. **❌ Return 403 Forbidden** - Not 404 when object exists but user doesn't own it
+
+### Migration Notes
+- `RecurrenceRule` model removed (deprecated after RRULE migration)
+- `migrations/archive/drop_recurrence_rules_table.py` - Drops deprecated table
+- All recurrence patterns now use RFC5545 RRULE standard exclusively

+### Theme Descriptions
+- **Dark** (default) - Deep blue-grey professional theme
+- **Light** - Clean white theme for bright environments
+- **Ocean Blue** - Deep blue professional with cooler tones
+- **Forest Green** - Green-accented theme with natural feel
+- **Sunset Purple** - Purple-based theme with warm accents
+- **Warm Amber** - Orange/amber theme with cozy atmosphere
+- **Colorful** - Vibrant rainbow theme with gradient buttons
+- **Slate Grey** - Light grey professional theme
+- **Charcoal Grey** - Dark grey theme with muted tones
+
+### Adding New Themes (Future)
+1. Define all CSS variables in `static/styles.css`
+2. Add theme value to `VALID_THEMES` list in `app.py` settings_update()
+3. Add theme card to Settings page with color preview
+4. Ensure all variable names match existing themes (100+ variables)
+
 ### Accessibility
 - Ensure WCAG AA contrast in all themes (4.5:1 minimum)
 - Test with color blindness simulators
