 - categoryId on threads is NOT NULL with FK to categories -- every thread belongs to a category

+# Phase 4 Plan 2: Planning Tab Frontend Overhaul Summary
+
+**Modal-based thread creation with category picker, educational 3-step empty state, Active/Resolved pill tabs, and category filter on planning tab**
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Duration:** 4 min
+- **Started:** 2026-03-15T15:35:18Z
+- **Completed:** 2026-03-15T15:38:58Z
+- **Tasks:** 3 (2 auto + 1 auto-approved checkpoint)
+- **Files modified:** 4
+
+## Accomplishments
+- CreateThreadModal component with name input and category dropdown, submits via useCreateThread
+- Educational empty state with 3 illustrated workflow steps (Create thread, Add candidates, Pick winner)
+- Active/Resolved pill tab segment control replacing the "Show archived" checkbox
+- Category filter dropdown for narrowing thread list by category
+- ThreadCard now displays category emoji + name as a blue badge
+
+## Task Commits
+
+Each task was committed atomically:
+
+1. **Task 1: Create thread modal and update uiStore** - `eb79ab6` (feat)
+2. **Task 2: Overhaul PlanningView with empty state, pill tabs, category filter, and thread card category display** - `d05aac0` (feat)
+3. **Task 3: Verify planning tab overhaul** - auto-approved (checkpoint)
+
+## Files Created/Modified
+- `src/client/components/CreateThreadModal.tsx` - Modal dialog for thread creation with name input and category dropdown
+- `src/client/stores/uiStore.ts` - Added createThreadModalOpen state with open/close actions, fixed pre-existing formatting
+- `src/client/components/ThreadCard.tsx` - Added categoryName and categoryEmoji props, displays category badge
+- `src/client/routes/collection/index.tsx` - Rewrote PlanningView with empty state, pill tabs, category filter, modal integration
+
+## Decisions Made
+- Modal dialog for thread creation instead of inline form -- cleaner UX, supports category selection
+- Educational empty state with numbered steps -- helps new users understand the planning workflow
+- Pill tab segment control for Active/Resolved -- replaces checkbox, more intuitive
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+### Auto-fixed Issues
+
+**1. [Rule 1 - Bug] Fixed pre-existing formatting in uiStore.ts and collection/index.tsx**
+- **Found during:** Task 1 and Task 2
+- **Issue:** Files used spaces instead of tabs (Biome formatter violation)
+- **Fix:** Auto-formatted with biome
+- **Files modified:** src/client/stores/uiStore.ts, src/client/routes/collection/index.tsx
+- **Committed in:** eb79ab6, d05aac0
+
+**2. [Rule 2 - Missing Critical] Added aria-hidden to decorative SVG icons**
+- **Found during:** Task 2
+- **Issue:** SVG plus icons in buttons had no accessibility attributes (biome a11y lint error)
+- **Fix:** Added aria-hidden="true" to all decorative SVG icons
+- **Files modified:** src/client/routes/collection/index.tsx
+- **Committed in:** d05aac0
+
+---
+
+**Total deviations:** 2 auto-fixed (1 formatting, 1 a11y)
+**Impact on plan:** Necessary fixes for lint compliance. No scope creep.
+
+## Issues Encountered
+None
+
+## User Setup Required
+None - no external service configuration required.
+
+## Next Phase Readiness
+- Planning tab UI overhaul complete with modal-based thread creation and polished empty state
+- Thread creation flow end-to-end works: modal -> API -> thread card with category
+- Ready for future thread management enhancements (comparison views, status tracking)
