# Project Controls Section Fix Summary

## ✅ **Issue Resolved: Projects Manager and Hosting Removed from Controls**

The Projects Manager and Projects Manager Hosting applications have been successfully removed from the project controls section of the Projects Manager dashboard, as requested. These applications no longer need control features since they are always running.

## 🎯 **Root Cause**

The Projects Manager was displaying control buttons (Start/Stop/Restart) for all applications in the active directory, including itself and the hosting module. Since these applications are always running and don't need to be controlled through the dashboard, they were cluttering the interface unnecessarily.

## 🔧 **Fix Applied**

### Modified HTML Template
- **Before**: All applications in active directory shown in project controls
- **After**: Filter applied to exclude "projects-manager" and "projects-manager-hosting"
- **Change**: Updated Jinja2 template loop to filter out specific applications

### Code Change
```html
<!-- Before -->
{% for project in projects %}

<!-- After -->
{% for project in projects if project.name not in ["projects-manager", "projects-manager-hosting"] %}
```

This change ensures that:
1. Projects Manager doesn't show control buttons for itself
2. Projects Manager Hosting doesn't show control buttons
3. All other applications continue to function normally
4. Quick Links for all applications remain intact
