+
+<objective>
+Fix the image display bug so uploaded images render correctly, then redesign the ImageUpload component into a hero image preview area and move it to the top of both ItemForm and CandidateForm.
+
+Purpose: Images upload but don't display -- fixing this is the prerequisite for all image UX. The hero area redesign makes images prominent and the upload interaction intuitive (click placeholder to add, click image to replace).
+
+Output: Working image display, redesigned ImageUpload component, updated ItemForm and CandidateForm.

+  <action>
+Investigate why uploaded images don't render in the UI. The upload flow works (apiUpload POSTs to /api/images, server saves to ./uploads/ with UUID filename, returns { filename }), but images don't display.
+
+Debugging checklist (work through systematically):
+1. Start dev servers (`bun run dev:server` and `bun run dev:client`) and upload a test image
+2. Check the uploads/ directory -- does the file exist on disk?
+3. Try accessing the image directly via browser: `http://localhost:5173/uploads/{filename}` -- does it load?
+4. If not, try `http://localhost:3000/uploads/{filename}` -- does the backend serve it?
+5. Check Vite proxy config in vite.config.ts -- `/uploads` proxy to `http://localhost:3000` is configured
+6. Check Hono static serving in src/server/index.ts -- `serveStatic({ root: "./" })` should serve `./uploads/*`
+7. Check if the `imageFilename` field is actually being saved to the database and returned by GET /api/items
+
+Common suspects:
+- The serveStatic middleware path might not match (root vs rewrite issue)
+- The imageFilename might not be persisted in the database (check the item update/create service)
+- The Vite proxy might need a rewrite rule
+
+Fix the root cause. If the issue is in static file serving, fix the serveStatic config. If it's a database persistence issue, fix the service layer. If it's a proxy issue, fix vite.config.ts.
+
+After fixing, verify an uploaded image displays at `/uploads/{filename}` in the browser.

+Redesign ImageUpload.tsx into a hero image preview area per user decisions:
+
+**ImageUpload component redesign:**
+- Full-width container with `aspect-[4/3]` ratio (matches ItemCard)
+- Rounded corners (`rounded-xl`), overflow-hidden
+- The entire area is clickable (triggers hidden file input)
+
+**When no image (placeholder state):**
+- Light gray background (bg-gray-50 or bg-gray-100)
+- Centered Lucide `ImagePlus` icon (install lucide-react if not present, or use inline SVG) in gray-300/gray-400
+- "Click to add photo" text below the icon in text-sm text-gray-400
+- Cursor pointer on hover
+
+**When image exists (preview state):**
+- Full-width image with `object-cover` filling the 4:3 area
+- Small circular X button in top-right corner: `absolute top-2 right-2`, white/semi-transparent bg, rounded-full, ~28px, with X icon. onClick calls onChange(null) and stops propagation (so it doesn't trigger file picker)
+- Clicking the image itself opens file picker to replace
+
+**When uploading:**
+- Spinner overlay centered on the hero area (simple CSS spinner or Loader2 icon from lucide-react with animate-spin)
+- Semi-transparent overlay (bg-white/60 or bg-black/20) over the placeholder/current image
+
+**Error state:**
+- Red text below the hero area (same as current)
+
+**Move ImageUpload to top of forms:**
+- In ItemForm.tsx: Move the `<ImageUpload>` from the bottom of the form (currently after Product Link) to the very first element, BEFORE the Name field. Remove the wrapping `<div>` with the "Image" label -- the hero area is self-explanatory.
+- In CandidateForm.tsx: Same change -- move ImageUpload to the top, remove the "Image" label wrapper.
+
+Keep the existing ImageUploadProps interface unchanged ({ value, onChange }) so no other code needs updating.

+The setup detail page currently renders items using ItemCard in a grid. The setup also has a concept of item lists. Add small square thumbnails next to item names in the setup's item display.

+Since the setup page uses ItemCard components in a grid (which now have the 4:3 area from Task 1), the card-level display is already handled. The additional work here is for any list-style display of setup items.
+
+Check the setup detail route for list-view rendering of items. If items are only shown via ItemCard grid, then this task focuses on ensuring the ItemCard placeholder works in the setup context. If there's a separate list view, add thumbnails:
+
+**Thumbnail spec (for list views):**
+- Small square image: `w-10 h-10 rounded-lg object-cover flex-shrink-0` (~40px)
+- Placed to the left of the item name in a flex row
+- When imageFilename exists: `<img src={/uploads/${imageFilename}} />`
+- When null: `<div className="w-10 h-10 rounded-lg bg-gray-50 flex items-center justify-center flex-shrink-0"><span className="text-sm">{categoryEmoji}</span></div>`
