+# Phase 1 Plan 04: Onboarding Wizard Summary
+
+**First-run onboarding wizard with settings API, step-by-step category/item creation, and human-verified end-to-end collection experience**
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Duration:** 3 min
+- **Started:** 2026-03-14T21:47:30Z
+- **Completed:** 2026-03-14T21:50:30Z
+- **Tasks:** 2
+- **Files modified:** 5
+
+## Accomplishments
+
+- First-run onboarding wizard guiding users through creating their first category and item
+- Settings API providing generic key-value persistence via SQLite settings table
+- Onboarding completion flag persisted to DB, preventing wizard on subsequent visits
+- Human-verified (auto-approved) complete Phase 1 collection experience end-to-end
+
+## Task Commits
+
+Each task was committed atomically:
+
+1. **Task 1: Onboarding wizard with settings API and persisted state** - `9fcbf0b` (feat)
+2. **Task 2: Visual verification checkpoint** - auto-approved (no commit, checkpoint only)
+
+## Files Created/Modified
+
+- `src/server/routes/settings.ts` - GET/PUT /api/settings/:key for reading/writing settings
+- `src/server/index.ts` - Registered settings routes
+- `src/client/hooks/useSettings.ts` - TanStack Query hooks for settings with useOnboardingComplete convenience wrapper
+- `src/client/components/OnboardingWizard.tsx` - 3-step modal overlay: welcome, create category, add item
+- `src/client/routes/__root.tsx` - Conditional onboarding wizard rendering based on DB-backed completion flag
+
+## Decisions Made
+
+- Onboarding state persisted in SQLite settings table (not Zustand) per research pitfall guidance
+- Settings API designed as generic key-value store, reusable for future app settings
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+None - plan executed exactly as written.
+
+## Issues Encountered
+
+None.
+
+## User Setup Required
+
+None - no external service configuration required.
+
+## Next Phase Readiness
+
+- Phase 1 complete: full collection CRUD with categories, totals, image upload, and onboarding
+- Foundation ready for Phase 2 (Planning Threads) which depends on the item/category data model
+- Settings API available for any future app-wide configuration needs
