💡 NOTES FOR AI AGENTS

Context Preservation

This ACTION_PLAN serves as the single source of truth for project status. Always:

1. Read this file first when starting a new session
2. Update checkboxes as tasks complete
3. Add new phases/tasks as requirements evolve
4. Maintain the progress percentage

Development Workflow

1. Check blockers before starting work
2. Follow Titanium Pro design for all UI
3. Use CollectionManager for CRUD pages (don't reinvent)
4. Test locally before committing
5. Update docs when adding features
6. Commit often with clear messages

Code Quality Standards

• TypeScript strict mode enabled
• Zod validation for all API data
• Error boundaries on all components
• Loading states for async operations
• Accessibility: semantic HTML, ARIA labels
• Performance: lazy load, code split, optimize images
