 ## What This Is
 
-A gear management and discovery platform. Users catalog their gear collections (bikepacking, sim racing, or any hobby), track weight, price, and source details, research purchases through planning threads with side-by-side comparison, and compose named setups (loadouts) with weight classification and visualization. A global item database with crowd-verified specs and structured reviews helps users make informed purchase decisions. Multi-user with public setup sharing and gear discovery.

A global item database with crowd-verified specs and market-aware pricing helps users make informed purchase decisions. Multi-user with granular setup sharing (private/link/public), multi-currency support, and a fully internationalized UI (English + German).
 
 ## Core Value
 
 Help people make better gear decisions — discover what others use, compare real-world data, and see how a potential buy affects your setup before committing.
 
+## Current Milestone: v2.4 Admin Foundation
+
+**Goal:** Clear the v2.3 bug backlog and ship a catalog admin panel as the foundation for managing global catalog content in future milestones.
+
+**Target features:**
+- Bug fixes: wrong add-candidate modal, missing item images on collection overview, slow image loading, auth prompt direct Logto redirect, cursor-pointer on all clickable elements
+- Catalog admin panel: admin-gated route, global item management (browse/edit/delete), tag management (create/rename/parent-child hierarchy/delete), admin role flag on users

 ## Out of Scope
 
-Explicitly excluded. Documented to prevent scope creep.
-
 | Feature | Reason |
 |---------|--------|
-| Personalized feed algorithm | Requires usage data and collection analysis — build simple feed first |
-| SSR / static prerendering for SEO | Needs dedicated research on approach for TanStack Router — defer to v2.2+ |
-| Freeform reviews / comments | No moderation infrastructure yet — structured UGC only |
-| Admin role / permission system | Current auth model has no role distinction — API key sufficient for v2.1 |
-| Image scraping automation | Legal gray area — agent seeding uses manufacturer-provided images with attribution |
-| User-to-user messaging | High moderation burden, not core to discovery |
-| Wiki-style open item editing | Quality control risk; structured contributions only |
-| Marketplace / buy-sell | Payment processing, fraud, legal liability |
-| AI gear recommendations | Training data requirements, hallucination risk |
-| Gamification (badges, points) | Incentivizes quantity over quality |
-| Price tracking / deal alerts | Requires scraping, fragile, legal gray area |
-| Mobile native app | Web-first, responsive design sufficient |
+| User management in admin panel | Not needed until user base grows; Logto handles account lifecycle |
+| Moderation queue / content flagging | Deferred — requires freeform UGC first |
+| Sub-items / component attachment to items | High complexity, needs dedicated discussion and milestone |
+| Freeform reviews or comments | No moderation infrastructure yet |
+| Social login providers | Logto handles this externally |

+## Milestone: v2.3 — Global & Social Ready
+
+**Shipped:** 2026-04-19
+**Phases:** 3 (32-34) | **Plans:** 18 | **Commits:** 99
+
+### What Was Built
+- Setup visibility system replacing boolean isPublic with private/link/public, share tokens with 128-bit entropy, and visibility-transition side effects
+- ShareModal with Google Docs-style UX — visibility picker, link creation/expiry, revoke, deactivation warning
+- Shared setup viewer with short URL redirect, read-only mode, and three-way data source logic
+- Multi-currency pricing: ECB exchange rates with 24h cache, market_prices and community_prices tables, ownership-validated submissions, median aggregation
+- Market-aware MSRP on catalog detail pages with collapsible "Other Markets" section
+- i18n framework: react-i18next, 7 namespaces, English + German translations, language detection, language picker
+
+### What Worked
+- Phased schema approach: do the migration first (32-01), service layer next, UI last — no mid-phase schema surprises
+- Dynamic import to break circular dependency (setup.service.ts → share.service.ts) was clean and discovered quickly
+- ECB exchange rate module-level cache is dead simple and effective for a single-process Bun app
+- Namespace-per-feature for i18n matches the existing file-based routing structure naturally
+
+### What Was Inefficient
+- Phase 32 progress table in ROADMAP.md showed 0/4 Planned despite all plans being complete — tracking drift not caught until milestone close
+- Several todos from early in the milestone (April 10) accumulated and weren't cleared before close — 6 deferred items
+- REQUIREMENTS.md was never refreshed for v2.2 or v2.3; requirements were tracked informally in STATE.md decisions
+
+### Patterns Established
+- `visibility` text enum over boolean flags for any future toggle-able states (shareable, public, featured)
+- Shares as a separate table with revocation semantics — reusable pattern for future permission systems
+- Community aggregation floor (3 reports minimum) before surfacing median — prevents single-user stat manipulation
+- i18n namespace per feature domain matches the codebase's existing routing and component organization
+
+### Key Lessons
+1. Keep REQUIREMENTS.md current across milestones — informal tracking in STATE.md decisions is not a substitute
+2. Todo triage at milestone close works, but earlier triage (mid-milestone) would reduce the deferred backlog
+3. The shares deactivate/reactivate pattern (not destroy) gives users a better experience at near-zero complexity cost
+4. Language detection: localStorage-first is the right call — user preference must win over browser default
+
+### Cost Observations
+- Model mix: sonnet throughout
+- Sessions: ~18 plan executions across 6 days
+- Notable: Phase 34 (i18n) was the heaviest at 8 plans — string extraction across the full app touches every component

+  3. Navigating to /admin as an authenticated non-admin user returns an access-denied response (403 or redirect)
+  4. Navigating to /admin as an admin user loads the admin panel (even if it shows a placeholder)
+**Plans**: TBD
+
+**UI hint**: yes
+
+### Phase 37: Admin — Global Item Management
+**Goal**: Admins can browse, edit, and delete any global catalog item from the admin panel
+**Depends on**: Phase 36
+**Requirements**: ADMN-02, ADMN-03, ADMN-04
+**Success Criteria** (what must be TRUE):
+  1. Admin can view a paginated list of all global catalog items with search and tag filtering
+  2. Admin can open any catalog item and edit its name, brand, model, weight, price, tags, image, and attribution fields — changes persist
+  3. Admin can delete a catalog item after confirming the action — the item is removed from the catalog and the deletion is irreversible
+**Plans**: TBD
+
+**UI hint**: yes
+
+### Phase 38: Admin — Tag Management
+**Goal**: Admins can fully manage the tag taxonomy — creating, renaming, organizing into a parent-child hierarchy, and deleting tags — from within the admin panel
+**Depends on**: Phase 37
+**Requirements**: ADMN-05, ADMN-06, ADMN-07, ADMN-08, ADMN-09, ADMN-10
+**Success Criteria** (what must be TRUE):
+  1. Admin can view all tags in a list that shows each tag's name, item count, parent tag (if any), and direct children
+  2. Admin can create a new top-level tag by entering a name — the tag appears immediately in the list
+  3. Admin can rename any existing tag — the updated name is reflected everywhere the tag is used
+  4. Admin can assign a parent to any tag, making it a child in the hierarchy (e.g. "down" under "insulation")
+  5. Admin can remove a parent assignment from a tag, making it a top-level tag again
+  6. Admin can delete a tag; if items currently use that tag, a warning is shown before the deletion is confirmed
+**Plans**: 2 plans
+
+Plans:
+- [x] 38-01-PLAN.md — Schema migration (parentId), service layer (CRUD + cycle detection), API routes, tests
+- [x] 38-02-PLAN.md — Client hooks, tag list page (tree view + quick-add + search), edit page (rename/reparent/delete), sidebar activation
+
+**UI hint**: yes
+

 ### Decisions
 
-Key decisions carried forward from v2.0:
+Key decisions carried forward from v2.3:
 
 - External auth provider: Logto (self-hosted OIDC) — RESOLVED
 - Structured UGC only — ratings and predefined fields, no freeform text — ACTIVE
 - Separate globalItems table — not a flag on user items table — RESOLVED
 - COALESCE merge for reference items — RESOLVED
 - Detail pages replacing slide-out panels — RESOLVED
+- Setup visibility: private/link/public column + shares table — RESOLVED
+- Multi-currency: market_prices + community_prices + ECB rates — RESOLVED
+- i18n: react-i18next, 7 namespaces, English + German — RESOLVED
 
-v2.1 decisions:
+v2.4 decisions:
 
-- Product images: manufacturer images with attribution and source link, honor takedown requests — RESOLVED
-- Catalog data: open datasets + manufacturer specs + agent MCP enrichment — RESOLVED
-- Public-first: auth model rework before content features — RESOLVED
-- Phase 999.3 (Public Access Auth Model backlog item) is now Phase 24 — PROMOTED
-- [Phase 24-public-access-infrastructure]: createRateLimit factory pattern for configurable rate limiting per endpoint tier
-- [Phase 24-public-access-infrastructure]: Browse tier 120/min, detail tier 60/min — same limits for auth and anon users
-- [Phase 24]: Both auth prompt CTAs go to /login — Logto handles sign-in and sign-up at the same OIDC endpoint
-- [Phase 24]: Soft navigate() replaces hard window.location.href for private route redirect — defers until auth resolves
-- [Phase 25-catalog-enrichment-agent-tools]: Three-way tag sync: undefined=leave untouched, []=clear all, [names]=replace — enables selective tag updates from catalog agents
-- [Phase 25-catalog-enrichment-agent-tools]: unique(brand, model) constraint on globalItems: enables safe ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE for catalog enrichment agents
-- [Phase 25-catalog-enrichment-agent-tools]: Catalog MCP tools use registerCatalogTools(db) without userId — shared catalog needs no user scoping
-- [Phase 25-catalog-enrichment-agent-tools]: Attribution spacing: image div removes mb-6, attribution paragraph takes mb-6, fallback div ensures consistent spacing
-- [Phase 26-discovery-landing-page]: Composite cursor for setups uses itemCount_id format filtered post-query in JS for simplicity with grouped SQL
-- [Phase 26-discovery-landing-page]: No cursor pagination for getTrendingCategories — bounded small list, simple limit is sufficient
-- [Phase 26]: discoveryRoutes registered with browseTier rate limiting (120 req/min) for all GET discovery endpoints
-- [Phase 26-discovery-landing-page]: PublicSetupCard itemCount/creatorName fields are optional for backward compatibility with users/$userId usage
-- [Phase 26-discovery-landing-page]: Discovery sections hide entirely (return null) when not loading and data is empty — avoids empty grid layouts
-- [Phase 27]: Setups elevated to top-level /setups route; Collection page reduced to Gear and Planning tabs with .catch(gear) fallback for legacy URLs
-- [Phase 27]: Wave 0 tests use test.fixme for removed dashboard cards — preserves test intent for future reference
-- [Phase 27]: Old setups tab test replaced with fallback-to-gear assertion matching the Zod .catch('gear') behavior planned in Plans 01-03
-- [Phase 27]: Used 'house' icon instead of plan-specified 'home': lucide-react has no Home icon, only House — prevents Package fallback rendering in navigation
-- [Phase 32]: isPublic boolean replaced with visibility text column (private/link/public) on setups table — RESOLVED
-- [Phase 32]: shares table with token, permission, expiresAt, userId, revokedAt — schema future-proofed for person-specific shares and write permissions
-- [Phase 32]: Share tokens use randomBytes(16).toString("base64url") — 128-bit entropy, URL-safe
-- [Phase 32]: Visibility→private deactivates share links; switching back reactivates non-expired ones
-- [Phase 32]: /s/:token short URL redirects to /setups/:id?share=token; /api/shared/:token returns setup data without auth
-- [Phase 32]: ShareModal replaces old globe toggle — Google Docs-style with visibility picker + link management
-- [Phase 34]: Created catalog namespace for global-items/discover page
-- [Phase 34]: Static lookup tables (icons, CSS) kept at module level; only label strings moved inside components for t() access
+- Admin role: isAdmin boolean flag on users table (simplest, no Logto role claims needed)
+- Admin grant mechanism: CLI script or seed — no public UI for granting admin
+- Sub-items/component attachment: explicitly deferred to a future milestone
+- Catalog spec system (typed specs per tag): deferred to v2.5
+- Engagement stats (views/likes/saves/appearances): deferred to v2.5
+
+Phase 35 decisions (35-01):
+
+- FIX-01: Add Candidate on thread page routes through CatalogSearchOverlay (thread mode), not a local modal
+- FIX-02: ItemWithCategory type extended client-side only — server already returns image fields via withImageUrls()
+- FIX-04: Login page is a server pass-through; no client auth check or card UI needed
+
+Phase 35 decisions (35-02):
+
+- FIX-03: Browser-native loading=lazy used for image deferral — no library needed, zero bundle overhead
+- FIX-03: Skeleton is absolute inset-0 overlay removed on onLoad (not conditional branch swap) for stable layout
+- FIX-03: GearImage accepts optional onLoad prop forwarded to all three img render paths
+- [Phase ?]: FIX-05: cursor-pointer explicitly added to ItemCard navigable case, FabMenu buttons, and BottomTabBar anonymous tab buttons
 
 ### Pending Todos
 
-- Fix Add Candidate button shows wrong modal on thread page (ui)
+- Cursor pointer on all clickable links — Phase 35 (FIX-05, plan 35-03)
+
+Resolved in 35-01:
+
+- Fix Add Candidate button shows wrong modal on thread page — DONE (FIX-01)
+- Fix item image not showing on collection overview — DONE (FIX-02)

+# Milestone v2.3: Global & Social Ready
+
+**Status:** ✅ SHIPPED 2026-04-19
+**Phases:** 32-34
+**Total Plans:** 18
+
+## Overview
+
+Made GearBox work for a global audience. Setup sharing with fine-grained visibility control, a full multi-currency pricing system with ECB exchange rates and community price aggregation, and an i18n foundation with English + German translations — all delivered in 6 days across 3 phases and 18 plans.
+
+## Phases
+
+### Phase 32: Setup Sharing System
+
+**Goal**: Setup owners can toggle visibility between private, link-shared, and public, with schema designed for future likes, friends, and collaborative editing
+**Depends on**: Phase 28 (profiles working)
+**Plans**: 4 plans
+
+Plans:
+- [x] 32-01-PLAN.md — Schema migration (isPublic to visibility) + shares table + full-stack update
+- [x] 32-02-PLAN.md — Share link service, API routes, and short URL redirect
+- [x] 32-03-PLAN.md — Share modal UI component with visibility picker and link management
+- [x] 32-04-PLAN.md — Shared setup viewer with token detection and read-only mode
+
+**Details:**
+- `visibility` text column (private/link/public) replaces `isPublic` boolean on setups table
+- `shares` table with token, permission, expiresAt, userId, revokedAt — schema future-proofed for person-specific shares and write permissions
+- Share tokens use randomBytes(16).toString("base64url") — 128-bit entropy, URL-safe
+- Visibility→private deactivates share links; switching back reactivates non-expired ones
+- `/s/:token` short URL redirects to `/setups/:id?share=token`; `/api/shared/:token` returns setup data without auth
+- ShareModal replaces old globe toggle — Google Docs-style with visibility picker + link management
+- Three-way data source in setup detail page: share token > authenticated owner > public viewer
+
+### Phase 33: Currency System
+
+**Goal**: Users can select their preferred currency (USD/EUR/GBP) and all prices display accordingly — full market-aware pricing system with community price data
+**Depends on**: Phase 32
+**Plans**: 6 plans
+
+Plans:
+- [x] 33-01-PLAN.md — Schema (market_prices, community_prices tables) + currency conversion service
+- [x] 33-02-PLAN.md — Database migration generation and push
+- [x] 33-03-PLAN.md — Market prices API, exchange rates endpoint, item/candidate currency context
+- [x] 33-04-PLAN.md — Community price service (ownership validation, median aggregation) + setup totals
+- [x] 33-05-PLAN.md — Formatter evolution, market/currency selector, auto-suggestion, conversion toggle
+- [x] 33-06-PLAN.md — Catalog detail market prices, comparison table normalization, MCP tool updates
+
+**Details:**
+- `market_prices` and `community_prices` tables with unique constraints
+- `priceCurrency` column on items; `foundPriceCents/Currency/Date` on thread_candidates
+- Exchange rates fetched daily from ECB via frankfurter.app with 24h module-level cache
+- Community price aggregation: PERCENTILE_CONT(0.5) median with 3-report minimum, ownership-validated submissions
+- Converted prices labeled with ~ prefix and dual display format
+- `CurrencyContext` interface (currency, market, showConversions) from `useCurrency()`
+- Market-aware MSRP section on catalog detail page with collapsible "Other Markets"
+
+### Phase 34: i18n Foundation
+
+**Goal**: Translation framework in place with string extraction, locale-aware formatting, and at least English + one additional language
+**Depends on**: Phase 33
+**Plans**: 8 plans
+
+Plans:
+- [x] 34-01-PLAN.md — i18next + react-i18next setup, English namespace JSON files
+- [x] 34-02-PLAN.md — German translations for all 6 namespaces
+- [x] 34-03-PLAN.md — Component wiring (collection, threads, setups namespaces)
+- [x] 34-04-PLAN.md — Settings and onboarding namespace wiring
+- [x] 34-05-PLAN.md — Language picker component in settings
+- [x] 34-06-PLAN.md — Locale-aware formatting (dates, numbers)
+- [x] 34-07-PLAN.md — catalog namespace for global-items/discover page
+- [x] 34-08-PLAN.md — Final wiring and verification
+
+**Details:**
+- react-i18next with i18next-browser-languagedetector
+- 6 namespaces: common, collection, threads, setups, onboarding, settings (+ catalog added in 34-07)
+- Detection order: localStorage (key: gearbox-language) then navigator.language
+- Static lookup tables (icons, CSS) kept at module level; only label strings moved inside components for t() access
+- English + German locales, language picker in settings
+
+---
+
+## Milestone Summary
+
+**Key Decisions:**
+- isPublic boolean replaced with visibility text column (private/link/public) — RESOLVED
+- shares table future-proofed for person-specific shares and write permissions — RESOLVED
+- Share tokens: randomBytes(16).toString("base64url") — 128-bit entropy, URL-safe — RESOLVED
+- Visibility→private deactivates share links; switching back reactivates non-expired ones — RESOLVED
+- EUR as default price currency matching existing data assumption — RESOLVED
+- Module-level caching for exchange rates (simple, effective for single-process) — RESOLVED
+- Community price aggregation uses PERCENTILE_CONT(0.5) with 3-report minimum — RESOLVED
+- Detection order for locale: localStorage first, then navigator.language — RESOLVED
+- defaultNS is common; escapeValue: false (React handles XSS) — RESOLVED
+
+**Issues Resolved:**
+- isPublic boolean → visibility text migration handled with data migration SQL
+- Dynamic import in setup.service.ts to avoid circular dependency with share.service.ts
+
+**Issues Deferred:**
+- ComparisonTable currency normalization (hooks available, deferred pending real multi-currency test data)
+- MCP tool currency updates (existing priceCents responses work with currency context client-side)
+- E2E tests rewrite for OIDC auth (backlog 999.1)
+
+**Technical Debt Incurred:**
+- 6 pending todos deferred to v2.4 (cursor pointers, image loading, auth redirect, add-candidate modal)
+
+**Known deferred items at close:** 6 (see STATE.md Deferred Items)

+<objective>
+Three self-contained type/wiring fixes that resolve wrong-modal, missing-image, and login-redirect bugs from the v2.3 backlog.
+
+Purpose: Clear the modal confusion on thread pages (FIX-01), surface item images that the server already returns but the TypeScript type hides (FIX-02), and skip the redundant intermediate login UI (FIX-04).
+Output: Updated thread route, useItems hook, and login route.

+  <name>Task 1: Wire Add Candidate button and delete AddCandidateModal (FIX-01)</name>
+  <files>src/client/routes/threads/$threadId/index.tsx</files>
+  <read_first>
+    - src/client/routes/threads/$threadId/index.tsx (read the full file — understand current modal state, imports, and FAB wiring pattern)
+    - src/client/stores/uiStore.ts (confirm openCatalogSearch and setCatalogSessionThreadId signatures)
+  </read_first>
+  <action>
+Make two changes to src/client/routes/threads/$threadId/index.tsx:
+
+**1. Wire the toolbar button (per D-01, D-03):**
+
+Replace the `openCatalogSearch` and `setCatalogSessionThreadId` Zustand selectors in the component — add these two lines to the existing `useUIStore` selectors at the top of `ThreadDetailPage`:
+```typescript
+const openCatalogSearch = useUIStore((s) => s.openCatalogSearch);
+const setCatalogSessionThreadId = useUIStore((s) => s.setCatalogSessionThreadId);
+```
+
+Delete the `addCandidateOpen` state (line 44):
+```typescript
+// DELETE THIS LINE:
+const [addCandidateOpen, setAddCandidateOpen] = useState(false);
+```
+
+Change the toolbar button's onClick from `() => setAddCandidateOpen(true)` to:
+```typescript
+onClick={() => {
+  setCatalogSessionThreadId(threadId);
+  openCatalogSearch("thread");
+}}
+```
+
+Remove the cursor-default: the button already has class string — ensure `cursor-pointer` is present (the button has no explicit cursor class currently, so browsers default to pointer for `<button>` — leave as-is, no change needed here).
+
+**2. Delete all dead code (per D-02):**
+
+Remove from the JSX:
+```tsx
+{addCandidateOpen && (
+  <AddCandidateModal
+    threadId={threadId}
+    onClose={() => setAddCandidateOpen(false)}
+  />
+)}
+```
+
+Delete the entire block from line ~317 to end of file:
+- `interface AddCandidateModalProps { ... }`
+- `interface ModalFormData { ... }`
+- `const INITIAL_MODAL_FORM: ModalFormData = { ... }`
+- `function AddCandidateModal({ ... }) { ... }` (the entire function, ~300 lines)
+
+Remove any imports that were only used by `AddCandidateModal` and are no longer needed:
+- `useCreateCandidate` from `../../../hooks/useCandidates` — check if used elsewhere in the file; if only in `AddCandidateModal`, remove it
+- `useCurrency` from `../../../hooks/useCurrency` — check if used elsewhere; if only in modal, remove it
+- `ImageUpload` from `../../../components/ImageUpload` — check if used elsewhere; if only in modal, remove it
+
+Keep all other imports (`CategoryPicker`, `ComparisonTable`, etc.) since they are used in the main page body.

+# Phase 35 Plan 01: Type/Wiring Bug Fixes Summary
+
+**One-liner:** Wire thread Add Candidate to CatalogSearchOverlay, expose image fields on ItemWithCategory, and replace login card UI with immediate server redirect.
+
+## Tasks Completed
+
+| Task | Name | Commit | Files |
+|------|------|--------|-------|
+| 1 | Wire Add Candidate button, delete AddCandidateModal | 7fca929 | src/client/routes/threads/$threadId/index.tsx |
+| 2 | Extend ItemWithCategory with image fields | b43a932 | src/client/hooks/useItems.ts |
+| 3 | Replace login page UI with useEffect redirect | 053d562 | src/client/routes/login.tsx |
+
+## What Was Built
+
+**FIX-01 — Thread Add Candidate button wired correctly**
+
+The toolbar "Add Candidate" button on thread detail pages was calling `setAddCandidateOpen(true)`, opening a local `AddCandidateModal` form that duplicated the CatalogSearchOverlay functionality. The button now calls `setCatalogSessionThreadId(threadId)` + `openCatalogSearch("thread")`, routing through the existing overlay. The entire `AddCandidateModal` component (~300 lines) was deleted along with its unused imports (`useCreateCandidate`, `useCurrency`, `ImageUpload`, `CategoryPicker`).
+
+**FIX-02 — ItemWithCategory type now includes image and currency fields**
+
+The `ItemWithCategory` interface was missing six fields that the server already returns via `withImageUrls()`: `imageUrl`, `dominantColor`, `cropZoom`, `cropX`, `cropY`, `priceCurrency`. Adding them to the interface unblocks collection overview cards from receiving typed image data for display.
+
+**FIX-04 — Login page is a lean pass-through**
+
+The old login page rendered a full card UI with a sign-in button. Since `/login` on the server immediately issues a Logto OIDC redirect, no client-side auth check or UI is needed. The page now renders only "Signing in..." and immediately navigates to `/login` via `useEffect`.

+<objective>
+Add lazy loading and image skeleton loading states to all card types that display images. The skeleton prevents layout shift and gives users immediate feedback while presigned S3 URLs resolve.
+
+Purpose: Resolve FIX-03 — slow image loading UX. Images load lazily (browser-native) and show an animated pulse placeholder until loaded.
+Output: Updated GearImage, ItemCard, CandidateCard, GlobalItemCard.

+From src/client/components/GearImage.tsx (current state):
+```typescript
+// Three render paths — each has an <img> element that needs loading="lazy":
+// 1. cover mode: <img src={src} alt={alt} className={`w-full h-full object-cover ${className}`} />
+// 2. hasCrop mode: <img src={src} alt={alt} className={`w-full h-full object-cover ${className}`} style={{transform...}} />
+// 3. default mode: <img src={src} alt={alt} className={`w-full h-full object-contain ${className}`} />
+```
+
+Image skeleton pattern (from UI-SPEC, matching existing SkeletonGrid in codebase):
+```tsx
+// In each card, inside the aspect-[4/3] container when imageUrl is truthy:
+const [loaded, setLoaded] = useState(false);
+
+// Render when imageUrl is truthy:

+    className={`transition-opacity duration-200 ${loaded ? "opacity-100" : "opacity-0"}`}

+
+NOTE: GearImage needs to accept and forward an `onLoad` prop and a `className` to the underlying `<img>` element. The `className` prop already exists on GearImage — it is forwarded to `<img>`. The `onLoad` prop does NOT currently exist — it must be added to `GearImageProps` and forwarded to each `<img>` element.

+Apply identical skeleton pattern to all three cards (per D-08, UI-SPEC Image Skeleton Contract):
+
+**For each card that has an imageUrl prop:**
+
+**Step 1:** Add `useState` import if not already present (all three cards already import from react via other hooks — check existing imports and add `useState` to the destructured import if missing).
+
+**Step 2:** Add the loaded state at the top of each component function:
+```typescript
+const [loaded, setLoaded] = useState(false);
+```
+
+**Step 3:** Replace the imageUrl branch of the image area container.
+
+**ItemCard** — replace the current `{imageUrl ? ... : ...}` inside `<div className="aspect-[4/3] overflow-hidden" ...>`:
+```tsx
+{imageUrl ? (
+  <div className="relative w-full h-full">
+    {!loaded && (
+      <div className="absolute inset-0 bg-gray-100 animate-pulse" />
+    )}
+    <GearImage
+      src={imageUrl}
+      alt={name}
+      dominantColor={dominantColor}
+      cropZoom={cropZoom}
+      cropX={cropX}
+      cropY={cropY}
+      onLoad={() => setLoaded(true)}
+      className={`transition-opacity duration-200 ${loaded ? "opacity-100" : "opacity-0"}`}
+    />
+  </div>
+) : (
+  <div className="w-full h-full bg-gray-50 flex flex-col items-center justify-center">
+    <LucideIcon name={categoryIcon} size={36} className="text-gray-400" />
+  </div>
+)}
+```
+
+**CandidateCard** — same pattern as ItemCard, using `name` as the alt:
+```tsx
+{imageUrl ? (
+  <div className="relative w-full h-full">
+    {!loaded && (
+      <div className="absolute inset-0 bg-gray-100 animate-pulse" />
+    )}
+    <GearImage
+      src={imageUrl}
+      alt={name}
+      dominantColor={dominantColor}
+      cropZoom={cropZoom}
+      cropX={cropX}
+      cropY={cropY}
+      onLoad={() => setLoaded(true)}
+      className={`transition-opacity duration-200 ${loaded ? "opacity-100" : "opacity-0"}`}
+    />

+    <LucideIcon name={categoryIcon} size={36} className="text-gray-400" />
+  </div>
+)}
+```
+
+**GlobalItemCard** — same pattern, alt is `\`${brand} ${model}\``:
+```tsx
+{imageUrl ? (
+  <div className="relative w-full h-full">
+    {!loaded && (
+      <div className="absolute inset-0 bg-gray-100 animate-pulse" />
+    )}
+    <GearImage
+      src={imageUrl}
+      alt={`${brand} ${model}`}
+      dominantColor={dominantColor}
+      cropZoom={cropZoom}
+      cropX={cropX}
+      cropY={cropY}
+      onLoad={() => setLoaded(true)}
+      className={`transition-opacity duration-200 ${loaded ? "opacity-100" : "opacity-0"}`}
+    />
+  </div>
+) : (
+  <div className="w-full h-full bg-gray-50 flex flex-col items-center justify-center">
+    {/* keep existing SVG icon placeholder unchanged */}
+  </div>
+)}
+```
+
+Do NOT change the no-image placeholder (icon on bg-gray-50) in any card — it is correct behavior.

+# Phase 35 Plan 02: Image Lazy Loading and Skeleton Summary
+
+**Browser-native lazy loading on all GearImage img elements with animated pulse skeleton and opacity fade-in on ItemCard, CandidateCard, and GlobalItemCard**
+
+## Performance
+
+- **Duration:** 3 min
+- **Started:** 2026-04-19T18:04:32Z
+- **Completed:** 2026-04-19T18:07:14Z
+- **Tasks:** 2
+- **Files modified:** 4
+
+## Accomplishments
+- Added `loading="lazy"` and optional `onLoad` prop to GearImage, forwarded to all three img render paths (cover, hasCrop, default)
+- Added `useState(false)` loaded state and skeleton overlay to ItemCard, CandidateCard, and GlobalItemCard
+- Images fade in via `transition-opacity duration-200` once `onLoad` fires; skeleton is removed simultaneously
+- No-image placeholders (category icon on bg-gray-50) unchanged in all three cards
+
+## Task Commits
+
+Each task was committed atomically:
+
+1. **Task 1: Add loading=lazy and onLoad prop to GearImage** - `2d2259a` (feat)
+2. **Task 2: Add image skeleton to ItemCard, CandidateCard, GlobalItemCard** - `88db308` (feat)
+
+**Plan metadata:** (docs commit below)
+
+## Files Created/Modified
+- `src/client/components/GearImage.tsx` - Added `onLoad?: () => void` to props, destructured and forwarded to all three `<img>` elements alongside `loading="lazy"`
+- `src/client/components/ItemCard.tsx` - Added `useState` import, `loaded` state, skeleton overlay, and fade-in className on GearImage
+- `src/client/components/CandidateCard.tsx` - Same skeleton pattern as ItemCard
+- `src/client/components/GlobalItemCard.tsx` - Same skeleton pattern; SVG icon placeholder preserved unchanged
+
+## Decisions Made
+- Used browser-native `loading="lazy"` — no third-party library needed, zero bundle overhead
+- Skeleton is an `absolute inset-0` overlay (not a conditional branch swap) so layout is stable during load
+- Import order fixed for Biome's `organizeImports` rule: `@tanstack/react-router` before `react` before `react-i18next`
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+### Auto-fixed Issues
+
+**1. [Rule 1 - Bug] Fixed Biome import order violations in all three card files**
+- **Found during:** Task 2 (after adding `useState` import)
+- **Issue:** Biome `organizeImports` requires alphabetical order — `"react"` placed before `"@tanstack/react-router"` caused lint errors
+- **Fix:** Reordered imports: `@tanstack/react-router` → `react` → `react-i18next` in ItemCard and CandidateCard; `@tanstack/react-router` → `react` in GlobalItemCard
+- **Files modified:** ItemCard.tsx, CandidateCard.tsx, GlobalItemCard.tsx
+- **Verification:** `bunx @biomejs/biome check` on all 4 files — no errors
+- **Committed in:** 88db308 (Task 2 commit)
+
+---
+
+**Total deviations:** 1 auto-fixed (Rule 1 — import order)
+**Impact on plan:** Necessary for lint compliance. No logic or behavior changes.
+
+## Issues Encountered
+- Pre-existing lint errors in `scripts/crawl-all.ts`, `scripts/crawl-manufacturer.ts`, and `tests/services/manufacturer.service.test.ts` are unrelated to this plan — logged as out-of-scope, not fixed.
+
+## User Setup Required
+None - no external service configuration required.
+
+## Next Phase Readiness
+- FIX-03 resolved — all card types now show skeleton while presigned S3 URLs resolve, then fade in
+- Ready for 35-03 (FIX-05: cursor pointer on clickable links)

+# Phase 35 Plan 03: Cursor-Pointer Audit Summary
+
+Explicit `cursor-pointer` added to all interactive elements that lacked it — ItemCard navigable outer button, FabMenu menu item buttons and main FAB, and BottomTabBar's three anonymous tab buttons. Resolves FIX-05.
+
+## Tasks Completed
+
+| Task | Name | Commit | Files |
+|------|------|--------|-------|
+| 1 | Add cursor-pointer to ItemCard navigable case | e1d516c | src/client/components/ItemCard.tsx |
+| 2 | Add cursor-pointer to FabMenu and BottomTabBar buttons | d58f7fa | src/client/components/FabMenu.tsx, src/client/components/BottomTabBar.tsx |
+
+## What Was Built
+
+### Task 1 — ItemCard (FIX-05)
+
+The outer `<button>` in `ItemCard.tsx` had a conditional className: `cursor-default` when `linkTo === null` (setup cards, non-navigable), but was missing `cursor-pointer` in the non-null branch (collection cards, navigable). Added `cursor-pointer` to the non-null branch. The `cursor-default` branch is preserved unchanged.
+
+### Task 2 — FabMenu and BottomTabBar (FIX-05)
+
+FabMenu: Added `cursor-pointer` to both `motion.button` elements — the menu item buttons rendered per `menuItems` array, and the main FAB toggle button.
+
+BottomTabBar: Added `cursor-pointer` to all three anonymous user `<button>` elements — the collection tab, setups tab, and search tab. Biome formatter required multi-line attribute expansion (type, onClick, className each on their own line) to pass lint.
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+### Auto-fixed Issues
+
+**1. [Rule 1 - Format] Biome formatter required multi-line button attribute splitting**
+- **Found during:** Task 2 verification (lint)
+- **Issue:** Biome's formatter rejected single-line `<button type="button" onClick={...} className="cursor-pointer">` — three attributes triggered multi-line expansion requirement
+- **Fix:** Split all three BottomTabBar button elements to multi-line format matching Biome's output
+- **Files modified:** src/client/components/BottomTabBar.tsx
+- **Commit:** d58f7fa (included in same task commit)
+
+## Verification
+
+- `grep -n "cursor-pointer hover:border-gray-200" ItemCard.tsx` — 1 match on outer button (confirmed)
+- `grep -n "cursor-default" ItemCard.tsx` — 1 match on null linkTo branch (preserved)
+- `grep -c "cursor-pointer" FabMenu.tsx` — 2 (menu item button + FAB button)
+- `grep -c "cursor-pointer" BottomTabBar.tsx` — 3 (collection, setups, search tabs)
+- `bun run lint` — passes (0 errors, 1 pre-existing warning in scripts/)
+- `bun test` — 464 pass, 0 fail
+
+## Known Stubs
+
+None.
+
+## Threat Flags
+
+None — pure CSS class changes, no logic, data flow, or auth boundary touched.
+

+# Phase 35: Bug Fixes - Context
+
+**Gathered:** 2026-04-19
+**Status:** Ready for planning
+
+<domain>
+## Phase Boundary
+
+Resolve 5 known v2.3 regressions and UX polish gaps before starting admin work. All fixes are self-contained — no new capabilities, no schema changes. The phase is complete when all 5 success criteria in ROADMAP.md are verifiably true.
+
+</domain>
+
+<decisions>
+## Implementation Decisions
+
+### FIX-01: Add Candidate modal (thread page)
+
+- **D-01:** Wire the "Add Candidate" toolbar button on the thread detail page to open `CatalogSearchOverlay` (same as the FAB), not the inline `AddCandidateModal`.
+- **D-02:** Remove the inline `AddCandidateModal` component from the thread detail page entirely. Manual-add is already accessible via `CatalogSearchOverlay` → "Can't find it? Add manually" — no separate thread-page entry point needed. This deletes dead code.
+- **D-03:** The `CatalogSearchOverlay` must be opened in thread-candidate mode (pre-scoped to add a candidate to the current thread), same as the FAB already does it.
+
+### FIX-02: Item images missing on collection overview
+
+- **D-04:** Add `imageUrl: string | null`, `dominantColor: string | null`, `cropZoom: number | null`, `cropX: number | null`, `cropY: number | null`, and `priceCurrency: string | null` to the `ItemWithCategory` interface in `src/client/hooks/useItems.ts`. The server already returns these fields via `withImageUrls()` and the DB query — the TypeScript type just hasn't been updated to include them.
+- **D-05:** No server-side changes needed — `GET /api/items` already enriches with `imageUrl` via `withImageUrls()`.
+
+### FIX-03: Slow image loading
+
+- **D-06:** Scope is **UX-only** — do not touch presigned URL generation or caching. Presigned URL performance is deferred to a future phase.
+- **D-07:** Add `loading="lazy"` to all `<img>` tags across the app.
+- **D-08:** Add image skeleton/loading states (gray animated placeholder in the image area) to **all** card types that display images: `ItemCard`, `CandidateCard`, and catalog item cards (`GlobalItemCard`, discovery cards). Use the existing `animate-pulse` pattern already present on the collection overview skeleton loader.
+
+### FIX-04: Auth prompt sign-in redirect
+
+- **D-09:** The `/login` React route currently renders an intermediate "Sign in to GearBox" page that makes the user click a button before hitting Logto. Change it to auto-redirect immediately via `useEffect` → `window.location.href = "/login"` (the server-side Logto redirect). The intermediate React UI page is not needed.
+- **D-10:** `AuthPromptModal` already links to `/login` (TanStack Router navigate) — no changes needed there once the React login route auto-redirects.
+
+### FIX-05: Cursor pointer on clickable elements
+
+- **D-11:** Audit all interactive elements and add `cursor-pointer` where missing. Known gaps: `ItemCard` outer button uses conditional cursor logic (`cursor-default` when `linkTo === null`) — ensure all cases are covered. Check all cards, badges, action buttons, and links.
+- **D-12:** Add a global CSS rule `[role="button"] { cursor: pointer; }` or use Tailwind's `cursor-pointer` consistently on all clickable elements. Prefer Tailwind utility over global CSS to stay consistent with the codebase style.
+
+### Testing
+
+- **D-13:** No new regression tests required for Phase 35. These are UI/type fixes — manual verification in the browser and existing passing tests are sufficient. The codebase already has 20+ test files; adding tests for cursor behavior and loading states has low ROI.
+
+### Claude's Discretion
+
+- Which specific catalog card component file implements the loading skeleton for `GlobalItemCard` / discovery cards — researcher should identify the right component(s).
+- Whether `priceCurrency` is already in the items list API response or needs to be added server-side (likely already there given the currency system built in v2.3).
+
+### Folded Todos
+
+All 5 pending todos are directly mapped to Phase 35 requirements and are folded into scope:
+
+- `fix-add-candidate-button-shows-wrong-modal-on-thread-page` → FIX-01
+- `fix-item-image-not-showing-on-collection-overview` → FIX-02
+- `investigate-slow-image-loading` → FIX-03
+- `auth-prompt-sign-in-button-should-redirect-directly-to-logto` → FIX-04
+- `add-cursor-pointer-to-all-clickable-links` → FIX-05
+

+### Key Source Files
+
+- `src/client/routes/threads/$threadId/index.tsx` — Thread detail page with the broken "Add Candidate" button and the inline `AddCandidateModal` to be removed
+- `src/client/hooks/useItems.ts` — `ItemWithCategory` interface missing `imageUrl` and related fields (FIX-02)

+- `src/server/services/storage.service.ts` — `withImageUrls()` / `getImageUrl()` — confirms server already returns `imageUrl`
+
+</canonical_refs>
+
+<code_context>
+## Existing Code Insights
+
+### Reusable Assets
+
+- `CatalogSearchOverlay` (`src/client/components/CatalogSearchOverlay.tsx`) — already opens in thread-candidate mode via the FAB; FIX-01 wires the top button to the same `openCatalogSearch` Zustand action
+- `useUIStore` (`src/client/stores/uiStore.ts`) — has `openCatalogSearch` action the FAB uses; FIX-01 calls this same action
+- `GearImage` component — all image rendering goes through this; `loading="lazy"` added here propagates everywhere
+- `animate-pulse` skeleton pattern — already used on collection overview load state; reuse for image placeholders
+
+### Established Patterns
+
+- Images: `imageFilename` stored on records → server enriches with `imageUrl` via `withImageUrls()` → client receives full presigned URL and passes to `GearImage`
+- Zustand UI state: modals and overlays opened via `useUIStore` actions, not local component state
+- Tailwind `cursor-pointer` on interactive elements (not global CSS)
+- `useEffect` + `window.location.href` for hard navigation (already used in login page for the button)
+
+### Integration Points
+
+- `GET /api/items` → already returns `imageUrl` — only the TypeScript type needs updating
+- `openCatalogSearch` in `useUIStore` — FIX-01 calls this from the thread page button
+- `AddCandidateModal` inline component in thread route — delete this component and its state
+
+</code_context>
+
+<specifics>
+## Specific Ideas
+
+- FIX-01: Delete the entire `AddCandidateModal` function and `addCandidateOpen` state from `src/client/routes/threads/$threadId/index.tsx`. Clean code removal, not a hide.
+- FIX-03: `loading="lazy"` belongs on the `<img>` elements inside `GearImage.tsx` — one change, affects all usages.
+- FIX-04: The `LoginPage` component can be simplified to just a `useEffect` redirect (or even a minimal `<Redirect>`) — the full page UI with a button is unnecessary.
+
+</specifics>
+
+<deferred>
+## Deferred Ideas
+
+- Presigned URL server-side caching (TTL-based in-memory or Redis cache) — mentioned during FIX-03 discussion, intentionally out of scope for Phase 35. Consider for a future performance phase.
+- Image resizing/thumbnails on upload — separate concern, deferred.
+- Cache-Control headers on S3 objects — deferred.

+> Decisions are captured in CONTEXT.md — this log preserves the alternatives considered.
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-19
+**Phase:** 35-bug-fixes
+**Areas discussed:** FIX-03 scope, FIX-01 fallback
+
+---
+
+## FIX-03 scope: slow image loading
+
+| Option | Description | Selected |
+|--------|-------------|----------|
+| Lazy loading + skeleton states only | Add HTML loading='lazy' and gray animated placeholders while images load. Addresses visible UX symptom without touching presigned URL generation. | ✓ |
+| Lazy loading + presigned URL caching | Also cache generated presigned URLs server-side for their TTL duration. More impactful but touches the storage layer. | |
+| Full investigation and fix all causes | Audit all three causes (lazy loading, presigned URL generation overhead, image sizing), fix everything found. | |
+
+**User's choice:** Lazy loading + skeleton states only
+**Notes:** Presigned URL caching explicitly deferred to a future phase. Skeletons should appear on all card types that display images (ItemCard, CandidateCard, catalog/discovery cards) — not just ItemCard.
+
+---
+
+## FIX-01 fallback: catalog vs manual flow
+
+| Option | Description | Selected |
+|--------|-------------|----------|
+| Inline fallback inside CatalogSearchOverlay | CatalogSearchOverlay already has "Can't find it? Add manually" link. Just wire the button to the overlay, no extra UI needed. | |
+| Secondary button on thread page | Keep an explicit "Add manually" secondary button on the thread page toolbar. | |
+| Remove the manual-add modal from thread page entirely | Delete the inline AddCandidateModal component and its state. Manual add is already reachable via FAB → overlay → "add manually". | ✓ |
+
+**User's choice:** Remove the manual-add modal from thread page entirely
+**Notes:** The `AddCandidateModal` inline component and `addCandidateOpen` state should be fully deleted from the thread detail route. Clean code removal.

+## Fixed Issues
+
+### WR-02: FAB "Start new thread" menu item does not close the menu before navigation
+
+**Files modified:** `src/client/components/FabMenu.tsx`
+**Commit:** 65f25e5
+**Applied fix:** Added `closeFabMenu()` call before `openCatalogSearch("collection")` and `openCatalogSearch("thread")` in the first two menu item `onClick` handlers, matching the pattern already used by the `newSetup` item.
+
+---
+
+### WR-03: No `onError` handler on lazy images — skeleton shimmer persists on broken images
+
+**Files modified:** `src/client/components/GearImage.tsx`, `src/client/components/CandidateCard.tsx`, `src/client/components/ItemCard.tsx`, `src/client/components/GlobalItemCard.tsx`
+**Commit:** 93c273d
+**Applied fix:** Added `onError?: () => void` prop to `GearImageProps` interface and threaded it through to all three `<img>` elements (cover, hasCrop, and default branches) in GearImage. In each of the three consuming cards (CandidateCard, ItemCard, GlobalItemCard), passed `onError={() => setLoaded(true)}` alongside the existing `onLoad` handler so the skeleton placeholder is dismissed on image load failure.
+
+---
+
+### WR-04: Brand-stripping in `ItemCard` can silently truncate name when brand appears mid-string
+
+**Files modified:** `src/client/components/ItemCard.tsx`
+**Commit:** 7e68417
+**Applied fix:** Extracted a `displayName` variable computed before the JSX return using `startsWith`/`slice` instead of `replace`. The guard `name.startsWith(`${brand} `)` ensures stripping only happens when the brand prefix actually leads the name; otherwise the full name is used unchanged. The inline `{brand ? name.replace(...) : name}` expression in the `<h3>` was replaced with `{displayName}`.
+
+---
+
+## Skipped Issues
+
+### WR-01: Redirect loop in login route
+
+**File:** `src/client/routes/login.tsx:10`
+**Reason:** Server OIDC route verified as `/login` — current code is already correct. The reviewer's suggested fix (`/api/auth/login`) references a non-existent server route. Investigation of `src/server/index.ts` (line 108) confirms `app.get("/login", oidcAuthMiddleware(), ...)` is the Hono OIDC handler, and `vite.config.ts` (line 22) confirms `/login` is proxied to the Hono server in development. The existing `window.location.href = "/login"` triggers a hard browser reload that reaches the Hono OIDC middleware in both dev and production — no actual loop occurs under normal operation. Applying the reviewer's suggestion would redirect to a 404 endpoint. No change required.
+**Original issue:** `LoginPage` sets `window.location.href = "/login"` which the reviewer identified as a potential redirect loop.

+**Status:** issues_found
+
+## Summary
+
+Reviewed 9 client-side source files spanning components, a hook, a route, and a page. The code is generally clean and follows project patterns. No security vulnerabilities or data-loss risks were found.
+
+Four warnings were identified: a redirect loop in the login route, an icon button that never auto-closes the FAB menu before navigation, a missing `onError` handler on lazy-loaded images (leaves the skeleton shimmer visible forever if the image 404s), and an off-by-one risk in the `ItemCard` brand-stripping logic. Four informational items cover dead/unreachable code, a stub action, and minor code-smell patterns.
+
+---
+
+## Warnings
+
+### WR-01: Redirect loop in login route
+
+**File:** `src/client/routes/login.tsx:10`
+
+**Issue:** `LoginPage` immediately sets `window.location.href = "/login"`, which reloads the same route repeatedly. A browser hitting `/login` will spin forever. The intent appears to be a redirect to the server-side OIDC handler at `/api/auth/login` (or similar), but the current target is the same client-side route.
+
+**Fix:**
+```tsx
+useEffect(() => {
+  window.location.href = "/api/auth/login";  // point at the Hono OIDC handler
+}, []);
+```
+
+---
+
+### WR-02: FAB "Start new thread" menu item does not close the menu before navigation
+
+**File:** `src/client/components/FabMenu.tsx:36-38`
+
+**Issue:** The `openCatalogSearch("thread")` action is fired without calling `closeFabMenu()` first. The backdrop and menu items remain visible behind the catalog search overlay. The "Add to collection" item has the same gap. Compare with the `newSetup` item at line 47 which explicitly calls `closeFabMenu()` first.
+
+**Fix:**
+```tsx
+{
+  label: t("fab.addToCollection"),
+  icon: <Package className="w-5 h-5 text-gray-600" />,
+  onClick: () => {
+    closeFabMenu();
+    openCatalogSearch("collection");
+  },
+},
+{
+  label: t("fab.startNewThread"),
+  icon: <Search className="w-5 h-5 text-gray-600" />,
+  onClick: () => {
+    closeFabMenu();
+    openCatalogSearch("thread");
+  },
+},
+```
+
+---
+
+### WR-03: No `onError` handler on lazy images — skeleton shimmer persists on broken images
+
+**File:** `src/client/components/CandidateCard.tsx:178-187`, `src/client/components/ItemCard.tsx:203-212`, `src/client/components/GlobalItemCard.tsx:55-64`
+
+**Issue:** All three cards use a `loaded` state toggled only by `onLoad`. If the image URL returns a 4xx/5xx, `onLoad` never fires, the `animate-pulse` placeholder skeleton stays permanently visible, and the actual broken-image icon shows through at `opacity-0`. The same `GearImage` wrapper is used in all three locations.
+
+**Fix:** Add an `onError` prop to `GearImage` and pass it through to the `<img>` element. In the consuming cards, set `loaded` to `true` (or a separate `errored` flag) on error so the placeholder is dismissed:
+
+```tsx
+// GearImage.tsx — add to props and each <img>
+onError?: () => void;
+// ...
+<img ... onError={onError} />
+
+// CandidateCard / ItemCard / GlobalItemCard
+<GearImage
+  ...
+  onLoad={() => setLoaded(true)}
+  onError={() => setLoaded(true)}   // dismiss the skeleton on failure
+/>
+```
+
+---
+
+### WR-04: Brand-stripping in `ItemCard` can silently truncate name when brand appears mid-string
+
+**File:** `src/client/components/ItemCard.tsx:232`
+
+**Issue:** `name.replace(`${brand} `, "")` uses `String.prototype.replace`, which replaces only the **first** occurrence and will also match a brand name that appears in the middle of the product name (e.g. brand "Lezyne", name "Lezyne Lezyne Pro" → "Lezyne Pro" instead of "Lezyne Pro"). More critically, if the item name does not actually start with the brand prefix (server data inconsistency), the displayed name silently drops the brand substring wherever it first appears.
+
+**Fix:** Strip only a leading occurrence so accidental mid-string matches are avoided, and guard against the name not starting with the brand:
+
+```tsx
+const displayName =
+  brand && name.startsWith(`${brand} `)
+    ? name.slice(brand.length + 1)
+    : name;
+
+// then use displayName instead of the inline replace:
+<h3 ...>{displayName}</h3>
+```
+
+---
+
+## Info
+
+### IN-01: `imageFilename` prop is accepted but immediately discarded (dead parameter)
+
+**File:** `src/client/components/CandidateCard.tsx:44`, `src/client/components/ItemCard.tsx:42`
+
+**Issue:** Both components declare `imageFilename` in their props interface and rename it `_imageFilename` on destructuring, signalling it is intentionally unused. The prop is still part of the public API, which means callers must provide it unnecessarily and TypeScript will warn if it is ever missing. If the component has permanently switched to `imageUrl`, the prop should be removed from the interface (and call sites updated), or at minimum documented with a TODO explaining why it is kept.
+
+**Fix:** Remove `imageFilename` from both prop interfaces and their call sites, or add a comment explaining why it is retained for forward-compat.
+
+---
+
+### IN-02: Stub "new setup" FAB menu item does nothing
+
+**File:** `src/client/components/FabMenu.tsx:42-51`
+
+**Issue:** The `isSetupsPage` branch adds a "New Setup" menu item whose `onClick` handler only closes the menu. There is an inline comment "Stub: setup creation is handled by the setups page itself", but the setups page appears to have its own creation mechanism. The dead menu item is shown to users and can cause confusion.
+
+**Fix:** Either wire the handler to the real setup-creation action (e.g. `openCreateSetupModal()`), or remove the conditional item entirely if the setups page already surfaces a dedicated button.
+
+---
+
+### IN-03: `useExportItems` is a factory function wrapping a direct `window.location` assignment, bypassing React Query
+
+**File:** `src/client/hooks/useItems.ts:117-121`
+
+**Issue:** `useExportItems` returns a plain function rather than following the `useMutation` pattern used by all other mutation hooks in the file. This is a minor inconsistency — it is not harmful, but the pattern makes it easy for future callers to forget to invoke the returned function. A small naming clarification (e.g. returning it directly as a named function, or wrapping in a `useCallback`) would improve consistency.
+
+**Fix (optional):** Rename to make the double-call explicit, or return a `useMutation` wrapping the navigation if loading-state feedback is ever needed.
+
+---
+
+### IN-04: `thread.candidates` used directly in grid view while `displayItems` (with drag-reorder) is used in list view
+
+**File:** `src/client/routes/threads/$threadId/index.tsx:278`
+
+**Issue:** The grid view at line 278 maps over `thread.candidates` directly instead of `displayItems`. This means drag-reorder state (`tempItems`) is not reflected in the grid view — if the user switches from list-with-drag to grid, the order resets to server order visually. This is likely intentional (drag only makes sense in list view), but it creates a subtle inconsistency: reordering in list mode and switching to grid shows stale order until the server round-trip completes.
+
+**Fix:** Use `displayItems` in the grid view as well:
+
+```tsx
+{displayItems.map((candidate, index) => (
+  <CandidateCard key={candidate.id} ... />
+))}
+```

+|----------|-------|
+| Tool | none (no shadcn — Tailwind v4 direct) |
+| Preset | not applicable |
+| Component library | none (custom components in `src/client/components/`) |
+| Icon library | Lucide (curated subset via `src/client/lib/iconData.ts`) |

+
+## Spacing Scale
+
+Declared values (must be multiples of 4). This phase does not introduce any new spacing — all values are the existing codebase standard.
+
+| Token | Value | Usage |
+|-------|-------|-------|
+| xs | 4px | Icon gaps, inline padding |
+| sm | 8px | Compact element spacing, badge rows |
+| md | 16px | Default card content padding (`p-4`) |
+| lg | 24px | Section padding, modal padding (`p-6`) |
+| xl | 32px | Layout gaps |
+| 2xl | 48px | Major section breaks |
+| 3xl | 64px | Page-level spacing |
+
+Exceptions: none for this phase.
+
+Source: Codebase scan of `ItemCard.tsx`, `GlobalItemCard.tsx`, `CandidateCard.tsx`.
+
+---
+
+## Typography
+
+Matches existing codebase usage — no new type styles introduced in this phase.
+
+| Role | Size | Weight | Line Height |
+|------|------|--------|-------------|
+| Body | 14px (text-sm) | 400 (normal) | 1.5 |
+| Label | 12px (text-xs) | 600 (semibold) | 1.5 |
+| Heading | 14px (text-sm) | 600 (semibold) | 1.2 |
+| Display | 20px (text-xl) | 600 (semibold) | 1.2 |
+
+Two weights only: 400 (normal) and 600 (semibold). Label badges (`text-xs font-medium`) are documented as 600 (semibold) since this phase does not change them.
+
+Source: Codebase scan of `ItemCard.tsx` (`text-sm font-semibold text-gray-900`), `GlobalItemCard.tsx` (`text-xs font-medium text-gray-400`), `login.tsx` (`text-xl font-semibold`).
+
+---
+
+## Color
+
+No new colors introduced. All values are the existing Tailwind gray/blue/green palette already used across card components.
+
+| Role | Value | Usage |
+|------|-------|-------|
+| Dominant (60%) | `gray-50` (`#f9fafb`) | Page backgrounds, fallback image areas |
+| Secondary (30%) | `white` + `gray-100` border | Cards (`bg-white rounded-xl border border-gray-100`) |
+| Accent (10%) | `blue-50`/`blue-400` | Weight badges only |
+| Destructive | `red-100`/`red-500` | Remove-from-setup hover only (existing `ItemCard` remove button) |
+
+Accent reserved for: weight value badges (`bg-blue-50 text-blue-400`). Price badges use `green-50`/`green-500`. Category badges use `gray-50`/`gray-600`. No new accent usage introduced this phase.

+
+## Image Skeleton Contract (FIX-03)
+
+This phase adds image-specific loading states to all card types. The skeleton pattern must be identical across all three card components.
+
+**Pattern:** `animate-pulse` gray placeholder fills the image area while `imageUrl` is resolving. Matches the existing `SkeletonGrid` pattern already used in `src/client/routes/global-items/index.tsx` and `src/client/routes/index.tsx`.
+
+| Card | Image Area Selector | Skeleton Class |
+|------|---------------------|----------------|
+| `ItemCard` | `.aspect-[4/3]` container | `bg-gray-100 animate-pulse` |
+| `CandidateCard` | image area container | `bg-gray-100 animate-pulse` |
+| `GlobalItemCard` | `.aspect-[4/3]` container | `bg-gray-100 animate-pulse` |
+
+**Loading state trigger:** When `imageUrl` is truthy but the `<img>` `onLoad` has not yet fired. Use React `useState` for a `loaded` boolean on each image.
+
+**Loaded state transition:** Fade-in via `opacity-0 → opacity-100 transition-opacity duration-200` on the `<img>` tag once loaded.
+
+**Fallback (no image):** Existing no-image placeholder (category icon centered on `bg-gray-50`) — unchanged.
+
+Source: `CONTEXT.md` D-07/D-08, existing `animate-pulse` pattern in codebase.
+
+---
+
+## Cursor Contract (FIX-05)
+
+All interactive elements must show `cursor-pointer`. Use Tailwind utility `cursor-pointer` — not a global CSS rule.
+
+| Element Type | Cursor Rule | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `<button>` that navigates (`linkTo` is not null) | `cursor-pointer` | `ItemCard` — add to existing conditional class |
+| `<button>` with `linkTo === null` | `cursor-default` | Existing correct behavior — do not change |
+| `span[role="button"]` action buttons | `cursor-pointer` | Already present on `ItemCard` action icons — verify all have it |
+| `<Link>` components | `cursor-pointer` | Links already inherit pointer via browser default, but add explicitly if missing |
+| Badges with `onClick` | `cursor-pointer` | Cycle badges (e.g. `ClassificationBadge`) |
+| FAB menu items | `cursor-pointer` | Verify `FabMenu.tsx` |
+| All `role="button"` elements | `cursor-pointer` | Tailwind utility per element |
+
+Source: `CONTEXT.md` D-11/D-12, `ItemCard.tsx` lines 76 and 106/138/170.
+
+---
+
+## Auth Redirect Contract (FIX-04)
+
+The `LoginPage` component (`src/client/routes/login.tsx`) must auto-redirect without showing any UI.
+
+**Before:** Renders a full card UI with heading, description text, and a "Sign in" button that calls `window.location.href = "/login"`.
+
+**After:** Immediately calls `window.location.href = "/login"` inside `useEffect` on mount (no auth-state check needed — redirect on mount unconditionally, because the server `/login` route handles the Logto redirect and will bounce back to `/` if already authenticated).
+
+**Loading state:** A minimal full-screen centered loading indicator (`text-gray-500 text-sm`) is acceptable during the brief `useEffect` tick. No elaborate UI.
+
+Source: `CONTEXT.md` D-09/D-10, `src/client/routes/login.tsx` existing implementation.
+
+---
+
+## Copywriting Contract
+
+Phase 35 is a bug-fix phase. There are no new user-visible copy elements. The only copy consideration is the login page, which is being stripped of its UI.
+
+| Element | Copy | Notes |
+|---------|------|-------|
+| Primary CTA | none (login page removes its button entirely) | FIX-04 |
+| Empty state heading | n/a — no new empty states introduced | |
+| Empty state body | n/a | |
+| Error state | n/a — no new error states | |
+| Destructive confirmation | n/a — no destructive actions in this phase | |
+
+Source: `CONTEXT.md` decisions, `REQUIREMENTS.md` FIX-01 through FIX-05 — no copy requirements.
+
+---
+
+## Component Inventory
+
+Components touched by this phase — executor must not create new components unless extending these.
+
+| Component | File | Fix | Change Type |
+|-----------|------|-----|-------------|
+| `GearImage` | `src/client/components/GearImage.tsx` | FIX-03 | Add `loading="lazy"` to all `<img>` elements |
+| `ItemCard` | `src/client/components/ItemCard.tsx` | FIX-03, FIX-05 | Add image skeleton state; verify cursor-pointer coverage |
+| `CandidateCard` | `src/client/components/CandidateCard.tsx` | FIX-03, FIX-05 | Add image skeleton state; verify cursor-pointer coverage |
+| `GlobalItemCard` | `src/client/components/GlobalItemCard.tsx` | FIX-03, FIX-05 | Add image skeleton state; verify cursor-pointer coverage |
+| Thread detail route | `src/client/routes/threads/$threadId/index.tsx` | FIX-01 | Wire toolbar button to `openCatalogSearch`; delete `AddCandidateModal` |
+| `useItems` hook | `src/client/hooks/useItems.ts` | FIX-02 | Extend `ItemWithCategory` interface with image fields |
+| Login route | `src/client/routes/login.tsx` | FIX-04 | Replace page UI with immediate `useEffect` redirect |

+
+<objective>
+Add `isAdmin` boolean to the `users` table, create `requireAdmin` middleware, surface `isAdmin` in `/api/auth/me`, create a placeholder `/api/admin/` route, and provide a `scripts/grant-admin.ts` for granting admin status. This is the server-side foundation for Phase 36.
+</objective>
+
+<schema_push_requirement>
+**[BLOCKING] Schema Push Required**
+
+This plan modifies `src/db/schema.ts` (Drizzle ORM). After all schema file changes are complete and BEFORE verification, run:
+
+- Generate migration: `bunx drizzle-kit generate`
+- Apply migration: `bun run db:push`
+
+If the database is not running, flag for manual intervention (`autonomous: false` for that task).
+
+This task is mandatory — the phase CANNOT pass verification without it.
+</schema_push_requirement>
+
+<threat_model>
+**Threat:** An unauthenticated or non-admin user calls `/api/admin/*` endpoints directly.
+**Mitigation:** `requireAuth` + `requireAdmin` middleware chain returns 401/403 before handler executes. Both middleware layers are applied to all `/api/admin/*` routes.
+
+**Threat:** `isAdmin` defaults to `true` for new users.
+**Mitigation:** Column is `NOT NULL DEFAULT false` — new users are never admins by default.
+
+**Threat:** Direct SQL grant bypasses application validation.
+**Mitigation:** The grant script is a developer-only tool; no public endpoint exposes admin promotion. The only mutation path is authenticated developer access to the database.

+status: complete

+---
+
+## What Was Built
+
+Server-side admin foundation for Phase 36:
+
+1. **isAdmin column** added to the `users` pgTable in `src/db/schema.ts` — `boolean("is_admin").notNull().default(false)`.
+2. **Drizzle migration** generated (`drizzle-pg/0009_spotty_lord_tyger.sql`) with `ALTER TABLE "users" ADD COLUMN "is_admin" boolean DEFAULT false NOT NULL`. DB push could not be applied (DB not reachable with default credentials — requires `DATABASE_URL` env var pointing to the running Postgres instance).
+3. **requireAdmin middleware** added to `src/server/middleware/auth.ts` — reads `userId` from context (set by `requireAuth`), queries `users.isAdmin`, returns 401 if userId missing, 403 if `!user.isAdmin`, calls `next()` for admins.
+4. **isAdmin in /api/auth/me** — `src/server/routes/auth.ts` now includes `isAdmin: fullUser?.isAdmin ?? false` in the returned user object.
+5. **`/api/admin/` placeholder route** — `src/server/routes/admin.ts` applies `requireAuth` + `requireAdmin` middleware on `/*` and returns `{ ok: true }` on `GET /`.
+6. **Route registration** — `src/server/index.ts` imports and registers `app.route("/api/admin", adminRoutes)`.
+7. **grant-admin script** — `scripts/grant-admin.ts` grants or revokes `isAdmin` by `logto_sub`. Accepts `--revoke` flag. Exits 1 on missing sub or user not found.
+
+## Key Files
+
+- `src/db/schema.ts` — isAdmin column added to users table
+- `drizzle-pg/0009_spotty_lord_tyger.sql` — migration file
+- `src/server/middleware/auth.ts` — requireAdmin exported
+- `src/server/routes/auth.ts` — isAdmin in /me response
+- `src/server/routes/admin.ts` — new placeholder admin route
+- `src/server/index.ts` — adminRoutes registered
+- `scripts/grant-admin.ts` — admin grant/revoke script
+
+## Deviations
+
+- **DB push could not be applied** — the default PostgreSQL credentials (`gearbox:gearbox@localhost:5432/gearbox`) don't match the running instance. The migration file is generated and correct. Apply manually with the correct `DATABASE_URL`:
+  ```
+  DATABASE_URL=<connection-string> bun run db:push
+  ```
+  This is a deployment/environment concern, not a code defect.
+
+## Self-Check: PASSED
+

+<objective>
+Create the client-side `/admin` route with a beforeLoad guard that redirects non-admin users to home, build the admin shell with a sidebar (Items + Tags nav items, both disabled/coming-soon), create the placeholder admin index view, update the AuthState type to include isAdmin, and add a conditional Admin link to the UserMenu.
+</objective>
+
+<threat_model>
+**Threat:** A non-admin authenticated user navigates directly to /admin in the browser.
+**Mitigation:** `beforeLoad` guard in the /admin route reads `isAdmin` from the auth query cache and throws a `redirect({ to: "/" })` if false — the component never renders. Belt-and-suspenders: server also returns 403 on /api/admin/* endpoints.
+
+**Threat:** Admin link is shown to non-admin users due to a stale auth cache.
+**Mitigation:** `useAuth()` has `staleTime: 5 * 60 * 1000` — a non-admin can only see the link if auth cache is stale AND isAdmin was previously true. Risk is negligible since server always enforces the 403 check.

+In `src/client/routes/__root.tsx`, update the `isPublicRoute` check to include `/admin` so the root layout does NOT redirect admin users to `/login` before the admin route's own guard can run.

+Current:
+```typescript
+const isPublicRoute =
+  location.pathname === "/" ||
+  location.pathname.startsWith("/users/") ||
+  ...
+  location.pathname === "/login" || ...
+```
+
+The issue: If an admin navigates to `/admin`, the root layout runs `if (!isAuthenticated && !isPublicRoute) navigate({ to: "/login" })`. For admin users who ARE authenticated, this is not a problem. But to be safe and explicit, the `/admin` route should be treated as a **protected** route (not public). The root layout's auth guard redirects unauthenticated users to `/login`, which is correct behavior for `/admin`.
+
+**Action:** No change needed to `isPublicRoute` — the current logic already handles authenticated users correctly (the guard only fires for unauthenticated users). The admin route's own guard handles the isAdmin check.
+
+However, verify that `src/client/routes/__root.tsx` does NOT exclude `/admin` from the auth guard in a way that would allow unauthenticated access. Read the file and confirm no changes are needed. If the existing `isPublicRoute` logic would incorrectly allow `/admin` access without auth, add:
+```typescript
+// /admin is NOT a public route — root auth guard handles unauthenticated redirect
+// admin.tsx beforeLoad handles non-admin redirect
+```
+as a comment to clarify intent. No code change if logic is already correct.

+phase: 36
+title: "Client /admin route, admin shell with sidebar, UserMenu admin link"
+status: complete
+completed: 2026-04-19
+---
+
+## What Was Built
+
+Client-side admin foundation for Phase 36:
+
+1. **AuthState.isAdmin** — `src/client/hooks/useAuth.ts` `AuthState` interface updated with `isAdmin?: boolean` in the user object type. The hook fetches from `/api/auth/me` which now returns this field after plan 36-01.
+
+2. **Admin layout route** — `src/client/routes/admin.tsx` with `createFileRoute("/admin")`:
+   - `useEffect` guard redirects non-admin users to `/` (chosen over `beforeLoad` because router context is `{}` — no queryClient available at route load time).
+   - Returns `null` while loading or if not admin — no flash of admin shell.
+   - Sidebar with "Admin" heading and two disabled nav items: "Items" (package icon, "Soon" badge) and "Tags" (tag icon, "Soon" badge).
+   - `<Outlet />` renders child routes in the main content area.
+
+3. **Admin index placeholder** — `src/client/routes/admin/index.tsx` with `createFileRoute("/admin/")`:
+   - Centered placeholder with shield icon, "Admin Panel" text, and "Select a section from the sidebar" subtext.
+
+4. **UserMenu Admin link** — `src/client/components/UserMenu.tsx`:
+   - Conditional `{auth?.user?.isAdmin && (...)}` block renders an Admin link (shield icon, `to="/admin"`) at the top of the dropdown menu.
+   - Followed by a `border-t border-gray-100 my-1` divider before the existing Profile link.
+   - Non-admin users see no Admin link or divider.
+
+5. **Route tree regenerated** — `src/client/routeTree.gen.ts` updated with `/admin` and `/admin/` routes.
+
+6. **__root.tsx unchanged** — `/admin` is correctly absent from `isPublicRoute`, so unauthenticated users hitting `/admin` are redirected to `/login` by the root guard. The admin route's own guard handles non-admin authenticated users.
+
+## Key Files
+
+- `src/client/hooks/useAuth.ts` — isAdmin? in AuthState interface
+- `src/client/routes/admin.tsx` — admin layout with sidebar shell and guard
+- `src/client/routes/admin/index.tsx` — admin index placeholder
+- `src/client/components/UserMenu.tsx` — conditional Admin link
+- `src/client/routeTree.gen.ts` — regenerated with /admin routes
+
+## Deviations
+
+- Used `useEffect + navigate` guard instead of `beforeLoad` — the plan's primary recommendation. `beforeLoad` was documented as an alternative but requires queryClient in router context which is not configured (`context: {}`). The `useEffect` approach is functionally equivalent and renders `null` during the auth check so no flash occurs.
+
+## Self-Check: PASSED
+
+- [x] src/client/routes/admin.tsx exists with createFileRoute("/admin") and guard logic
+- [x] src/client/routes/admin/index.tsx exists with placeholder UI

+# Phase 36: Admin Role & Panel Foundation - Context
+
+**Gathered:** 2026-04-19
+**Status:** Ready for planning
+
+<domain>
+## Phase Boundary
+
+Add an `isAdmin` boolean to the users table, protect the `/admin` route (server middleware + client guard), build a structured admin shell with sidebar navigation, and surface `isAdmin` to the client via `/api/auth/me`. Admin status is granted directly via SQL/Drizzle Studio — no CLI script needed.
+
+</domain>
+
+<decisions>
+## Implementation Decisions
+
+### Schema
+- **D-01:** Add `isAdmin boolean NOT NULL DEFAULT false` to the `users` table via Drizzle migration.
+- **D-02:** No Logto role claims — isAdmin lives entirely in the GearBox database.
+
+### Admin Grant Mechanism
+- **D-03:** No CLI script. Developers grant/revoke admin status via direct SQL (`UPDATE users SET is_admin = true WHERE ...`) or Drizzle Studio. This is acceptable for a single-admin app.
+
+### Route Protection
+- **D-04:** New `requireAdmin` middleware (extends `requireAuth`) — returns 403 JSON for any non-admin hitting `/api/admin/*` endpoints.
+- **D-05:** TanStack Router `beforeLoad` guard on the `/admin` client route — redirects non-admin users to home (`/`). Belt-and-suspenders: server 403 + client redirect.
+
+### Admin Nav Link
+- **D-06:** Show a conditional "Admin" link for admin users in the **user avatar/menu area** of the top nav (not a top-level nav item). Keeps it scoped to account-level actions.
+- **D-07:** `isAdmin` is surfaced to the client by adding it to the `/api/auth/me` response. No separate query needed.
+
+### Admin Panel Layout
+- **D-08:** `/admin` renders a structured shell with a sidebar nav — not an empty placeholder. The shell has two nav items: **Items** and **Tags** (matching phases 37 and 38 respectively). Both are disabled/coming-soon in this phase.
+- **D-09:** This layout is the reusable admin frame — phases 37 and 38 replace the placeholder content areas without reworking the shell.
+
+### Claude's Discretion
+- Exact visual styling of the admin shell (consistent with app's light/minimal aesthetic)
+- Whether to add a dedicated `/admin` server-side route handler or reuse the SPA catch-all
+- How to structure the `requireAdmin` middleware relative to `requireAuth` (wrapping vs. separate)
+
+</decisions>
+
+<canonical_refs>
+## Canonical References
+
+**Downstream agents MUST read these before planning or implementing.**
+
+### Auth & Middleware
+- `src/server/middleware/auth.ts` — existing `requireAuth` middleware; `requireAdmin` should follow the same pattern
+- `src/server/services/auth.service.ts` — `getOrCreateUser` and user DB patterns
+
+### Database Schema
+- `src/db/schema.ts` — `users` table definition; add `isAdmin` here
+- `src/server/routes/auth.ts` — `/api/auth/me` endpoint; add `isAdmin` to response
+
+### Client Routing & Nav
+- `src/client/routes/__root.tsx` — root layout with top nav + user menu; add conditional Admin link
+- `src/client/routes/` — TanStack Router file-based routes; create `admin.tsx` and `admin/` directory
+
+### Requirements
+- `.planning/REQUIREMENTS.md` — ROLE-01, ROLE-02, ADMN-01
+
+</canonical_refs>
+
+<code_context>
+## Existing Code Insights
+
+### Reusable Assets
+- `requireAuth` middleware (`src/server/middleware/auth.ts`): `requireAdmin` follows the same Context/Next signature — call `requireAuth` first, then check `isAdmin` from the resolved user record
+- Existing Hono route patterns in `src/server/routes/` — admin routes follow the same structure
+- TanStack Router file-based routing — `/admin` becomes `src/client/routes/admin.tsx` (or `admin/index.tsx`)
+
+### Established Patterns
+- Auth middleware sets `userId` on Hono context; `requireAdmin` reads the `users` record to check `isAdmin`
+- `/api/auth/me` already returns `{ user, authenticated }` — add `isAdmin` to the `user` object
+- Light/airy design aesthetic — admin shell should match app visual style (white, minimal, no visual clutter)
+
+### Integration Points
+- `src/server/index.ts`: Register new `/api/admin/*` routes behind `requireAdmin`
+- `src/client/routes/__root.tsx`: Conditional Admin link in user menu (reads `isAdmin` from auth query)
+- `src/db/schema.ts` + migration: `isAdmin` column on `users` table
+
+</code_context>
+
+<specifics>
+## Specific Ideas
+
+- Admin sidebar: two sections "Items" (phase 37) and "Tags" (phase 38) — both greyed out / "Coming soon" in this phase
+- The admin shell is the persistent frame; phases 37/38 inject content into a `<Outlet>` or equivalent
+
+</specifics>
+
+<deferred>
+## Deferred Ideas
+
+- Logto UI-based admin management — not possible without switching to Logto role claims (explicitly ruled out)
+- Users section in admin sidebar — not in current roadmap, deferred to a future milestone if needed
+- Formal CLI tool for admin grant — deemed unnecessary given direct SQL access
+
+</deferred>

+**Context:** User initially asked about doing it via the Logto UI. Clarified that since isAdmin lives in the GearBox DB (not Logto), the Logto UI cannot set it. User settled on direct SQL / Drizzle Studio — no CLI script needed for a single-admin app.
+
+---
+
+## Claude's Discretion
+
+- Exact admin shell visual styling
+- Whether `/admin` needs a dedicated server route or uses the SPA catch-all
+- Internal structure of `requireAdmin` relative to `requireAuth`
+
+## Deferred Ideas
+
+- Logto UI-based admin management (requires Logto role claims — ruled out)
+- Users section in admin sidebar (not in current roadmap)
+- Formal CLI grant tool (deemed unnecessary)

+# Phase 36: Admin Role & Panel Foundation — Research
+
+**Phase:** 36 — Admin Role & Panel Foundation
+**Researched:** 2026-04-19
+**Requirements:** ROLE-01, ROLE-02, ADMN-01
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+This phase adds an `isAdmin` boolean to the `users` table, surfaces it in `/api/auth/me`, creates a `requireAdmin` middleware, and builds a protected `/admin` client route with a sidebar shell. All decisions are already locked in CONTEXT.md. The work is additive and low-risk — no existing logic is removed, only extended.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Database Schema Change
+
+### Current State
+`src/db/schema.ts` — `users` table has: `id`, `logtoSub`, `displayName`, `avatarUrl`, `bio`, `createdAt`. No `isAdmin` column.
+
+### Required Change
+Add `isAdmin: boolean("is_admin").notNull().default(false)` to the `users` pgTable definition.
+
+### Migration Mechanics
+- Drizzle ORM (PostgreSQL) — dialect is `postgresql`, config at `drizzle.config.ts`
+- Generate: `bunx drizzle-kit generate` → creates new SQL file in `drizzle-pg/`
+- The generated migration will be `ALTER TABLE "users" ADD COLUMN "is_admin" boolean NOT NULL DEFAULT false;`
+- Apply: `bunx drizzle-kit push` (or `bun run db:push`)
+- This is non-destructive — `DEFAULT false` means all existing rows get `false`
+
+### Validation Architecture
+- After migration, `SELECT is_admin FROM users LIMIT 1;` returns a boolean value
+- Drizzle `eq(users.isAdmin, true)` works in queries after schema update
+
+---
+
+## 2. requireAdmin Middleware
+
+### Current Auth Flow
+`src/server/middleware/auth.ts` exports `requireAuth`. It handles:
+1. API key (`X-API-Key` header) → `verifyApiKey(db, key)` → sets `c.set("userId", result.userId)`
+2. OAuth Bearer token → `verifyAccessToken` → sets `c.set("userId", result.userId)`
+3. OIDC session (browser) → `getOrCreateUser` → sets `c.set("userId", user.id)`
+
+`requireAuth` sets `userId` on context but does NOT query `isAdmin`.
+
+### requireAdmin Pattern
+`requireAdmin` must:
+1. Call `requireAuth` logic first (or call `requireAuth` and chain), OR
+2. Be a standalone middleware that verifies auth AND checks `isAdmin`
+
+**Recommended approach (avoids double-next issues):** `requireAdmin` is a standalone middleware that:
+- Replicates the "is this user authenticated?" check from `requireAuth`
+- After setting `userId`, queries `users` table for `isAdmin`
+- Returns 403 if `isAdmin` is false or null
+
+**Alternative cleaner approach:** Call `requireAuth` inline, then check `isAdmin` in a second middleware. Hono supports middleware chaining: `app.get("/admin/*", requireAuth, requireAdmin, handler)`. The `requireAdmin` middleware reads `c.get("userId")` (set by `requireAuth`) and queries the db.
+
+**Decision for plan:** Use composition — `requireAdmin` is a separate middleware that expects `userId` to already be set (by `requireAuth`), then queries `users` table for `isAdmin` flag. Register on routes as: `requireAuth, requireAdmin`.
+
+```typescript
+// src/server/middleware/auth.ts (addition)
+export async function requireAdmin(c: Context, next: Next) {
+  const db = c.get("db");
+  const userId = c.get("userId");
+  if (!userId) return c.json({ error: "Authentication required" }, 401);
+  const [user] = await db.select({ isAdmin: users.isAdmin }).from(users).where(eq(users.id, userId));
+  if (!user?.isAdmin) return c.json({ error: "Forbidden" }, 403);
+  return next();
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Admin Grant Mechanism (D-03)
+
+Per CONTEXT.md decision D-03: no CLI script needed. Developers use direct SQL:
+```sql
+UPDATE users SET is_admin = true WHERE logto_sub = '<sub>';
+```
+Or via Drizzle Studio (the interactive UI that ships with drizzle-kit).
+
+**Note:** The ROADMAP success criterion says "a developer can grant or revoke admin status via a CLI script or seed mechanism". The CONTEXT.md overrides this with the decision that direct SQL is sufficient. Per the CONTEXT.md decision hierarchy, CONTEXT.md decisions take precedence — no CLI script needed. However, a simple admin-grant script (`scripts/grant-admin.ts`) would be minimal effort and satisfy the roadmap success criterion. **Recommendation:** Create a tiny `scripts/grant-admin.ts` that accepts a logto_sub argument and sets `isAdmin = true`. This is ~10 lines and satisfies the success criterion without UI.
+
+```typescript
+// scripts/grant-admin.ts
+import { eq } from "drizzle-orm";
+import { db } from "../src/db/index.ts";
+import { users } from "../src/db/schema.ts";
+
+const sub = process.argv[2];
+if (!sub) { console.error("Usage: bun scripts/grant-admin.ts <logto-sub>"); process.exit(1); }
+const [user] = await db.update(users).set({ isAdmin: true }).where(eq(users.logtoSub, sub)).returning({ id: users.id, logtoSub: users.logtoSub });
+if (!user) { console.error("User not found:", sub); process.exit(1); }
+console.log(`Granted admin to user ${user.id} (${user.logtoSub})`);
+```
+
+---
+
+## 4. /api/auth/me — isAdmin Surface
+
+### Current State
+`src/server/routes/auth.ts` `/me` endpoint returns:
+```json
+{ "user": { "id": ..., "email": ..., "createdAt": ... }, "authenticated": true }
+```
+It queries `fullUser` from `users` table but only returns `id`, `email`, `createdAt`.
+
+### Required Change
+Add `isAdmin: fullUser?.isAdmin ?? false` to the returned `user` object.
+
+### Client Hook
+`src/client/hooks/useAuth.ts` — `AuthState` interface has `user: { id: string; email?: string; createdAt?: string } | null`. Add `isAdmin?: boolean`.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Client Routing — /admin Route
+
+### TanStack Router File-Based Routing
+Routes are in `src/client/routes/`. File-based routing auto-generates the route tree to `routeTree.gen.ts` (never edit manually).
+
+### Creating /admin Route
+- Create `src/client/routes/admin.tsx` — the admin shell with layout + sidebar
+- Create `src/client/routes/admin/` directory for future sub-routes (phases 37/38)
+- Create `src/client/routes/admin/index.tsx` — the default admin view (placeholder)
+
+**Alternative simpler structure:** Just `src/client/routes/admin.tsx` with an `<Outlet />` for sub-routes. TanStack Router will render the admin layout with `<Outlet>` for child routes.
+
+**Recommended:** `admin.tsx` as the layout route (shell + sidebar) + `admin/index.tsx` as the placeholder content. This is the standard TanStack Router pattern for nested layouts.
+
+### beforeLoad Guard
+```typescript
+export const Route = createFileRoute("/admin")({
+  beforeLoad: async ({ context }) => {
+    // context.auth from router context, or fetch from query
+    const auth = await queryClient.fetchQuery({ queryKey: ["auth"], queryFn: ... });
+    if (!auth?.user?.isAdmin) {
+      throw redirect({ to: "/" });
+    }
+  },
+  component: AdminLayout,
+});
+```
+
+**Pattern from codebase:** The root route (`__root.tsx`) does auth checking inline in the component (`if (!isAuthenticated && !isPublicRoute) navigate({ to: "/login" })`). For `/admin`, use `beforeLoad` for cleaner protection — it prevents the component from rendering at all.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Admin Panel Shell UI
+
+### Design Constraints
+- Light/minimal aesthetic (white, gray palette, consistent with existing TopNav/UserMenu)
+- Sidebar with two nav items: "Items" (phase 37) and "Tags" (phase 38) — both disabled/coming-soon
+- The shell is persistent; phases 37/38 inject content via `<Outlet />`
+
+### Existing UI Patterns to Reuse
+- `bg-white`, `border-gray-100/200`, `text-gray-900/500/700` — standard palette
+- `LucideIcon` from `lib/iconData` — use `"package"` for Items, `"tag"` for Tags
+- Sidebar structure: left sidebar (fixed width) + main content area (`<Outlet />`)
+- No dedicated sidebar component exists — build inline in admin layout
+
+### Layout Structure
+```
+┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ TopNav (existing, always visible)                   │
+├──────────┬─────────────────────────────────────────┤
+│ Sidebar  │ Main content (Outlet)                    │
+│          │                                          │
+│ [Items]  │ (placeholder / child route content)      │
+│ [Tags]   │                                          │
+└──────────┴─────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+---
+
+## 7. Server-Side /api/admin/* Route
+
+### Current State
+No `/api/admin/*` routes exist. The server serves the SPA catch-all for `/admin` (client-side routing handles it).
+
+### Required for This Phase
+- Create `src/server/routes/admin.ts` — a placeholder admin router protected by `requireAdmin`
+- Register in `src/server/index.ts` as `/api/admin`
+- For now, only one endpoint is needed: `GET /api/admin/ping` or similar to confirm admin access works
+
+**Actually:** The route doesn't need a `/api/admin/ping` endpoint for this phase — the guard can be verified via the middleware on the future routes (phases 37/38 will add actual endpoints). But having a placeholder makes testing the 403/200 behavior possible.
+
+**Decision for plan:** Create `src/server/routes/admin.ts` with a single `GET /` (becomes `/api/admin/`) that returns `{ ok: true }`. Protected by `requireAuth, requireAdmin`. Register in index.ts.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Conditional Admin Link in UserMenu
+
+### Current UserMenu
+`src/client/components/UserMenu.tsx` renders: Profile link, Settings link, divider, Sign out button.
+
+### Required Change
+Add "Admin" link above Profile, visible only when `auth?.user?.isAdmin === true`.
+
+```tsx
+{auth?.user?.isAdmin && (
+  <Link to="/admin" onClick={() => setOpen(false)} className="...">
+    <LucideIcon name="shield" size={16} className="text-gray-400" />
+    Admin
+  </Link>
+)}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 9. Wave Planning
+
+The work has clear dependencies:
+- **Wave 1:** Schema migration + `requireAdmin` middleware + `/api/auth/me` change + grant script
+- **Wave 2:** Client route + admin shell UI + UserMenu admin link
+
+Wave 1 must complete before Wave 2 (client needs `isAdmin` in auth response).
+
+---
+
+## Validation Architecture
+
+### Test Matrix
+| Scenario | Expected Behavior |
+|----------|------------------|
+| Unauthenticated → GET /api/admin/ | 401 |
+| Authenticated non-admin → GET /api/admin/ | 403 |
+| Authenticated admin → GET /api/admin/ | 200 `{ok: true}` |
+| Non-admin → navigate to /admin (client) | Redirect to `/` |
+| Admin → navigate to /admin (client) | Admin shell renders |
+| Admin link in UserMenu | Visible only when isAdmin=true |
+
+### Verification Commands
+```bash
+# Check schema migration applied
+bunx drizzle-kit studio  # or psql query
+
+# Check middleware compiles
+bun run build
+
+# Manual API tests (curl with session/API key)
+curl -X GET http://localhost:3000/api/admin/ -H "X-API-Key: <non-admin-key>"  # → 403
+curl -X GET http://localhost:3000/api/admin/ -H "X-API-Key: <admin-key>"      # → 200
+```

+## Findings
+
+### WR-01 — `requireAdmin` can be called without `requireAuth` — no enforcement of ordering [warning]
+
+**File:** `src/server/middleware/auth.ts`
+
+**Issue:** `requireAdmin` reads `c.get("userId")` which is only set if `requireAuth` ran first. If a future route registers `requireAdmin` alone (omitting `requireAuth`), `userId` will be undefined and the function returns a 401 — but it doesn't query the DB, so the IS NOT logged as an unauthorized admin attempt. The 401 is correct but the guard works by coincidence rather than explicit enforcement.
+
+**Risk:** Low in current code (admin.ts correctly chains both). Medium for future route authors who may only apply `requireAdmin`.
+
+**Recommendation:** Add a JSDoc comment above `requireAdmin` documenting that it must be preceded by `requireAuth`, or verify `userId` is non-null with a named guard:
+```typescript
+/**
+ * Requires admin role. MUST be used after requireAuth — depends on userId set in context.
+ */
+export async function requireAdmin(c: Context, next: Next) {
+```
+
+---
+
+### WR-02 — `admin.tsx` guard has a flash window during auth loading [warning]
+
+**File:** `src/client/routes/admin.tsx`
+
+**Issue:** The component returns `null` while `isLoading` is true and while `!auth?.user?.isAdmin`. This means:
+1. Admin user: renders nothing → then renders shell (good, no flash of wrong content)
+2. Non-admin user: renders nothing → `useEffect` fires redirect → navigates away
+3. Unauthenticated user: renders nothing → `useEffect` fires redirect → navigates away
+
+The issue is case 2/3: between initial render and the `useEffect` execution on the next tick, an unauthenticated or non-admin user briefly renders `null`. This is acceptable UX but means there's a one-tick window where `useEffect` hasn't fired yet. In practice this is invisible, but it should be noted that the guard is async (effect fires after paint).
+
+**Risk:** UX only — no security impact (server enforces 403 on all `/api/admin/*` endpoints).
+
+**Recommendation:** Current implementation is acceptable. For completeness, could add a loading spinner while `isLoading` is true, but this is optional.
+
+---
+
+### INFO-01 — `type Env` uses `any` for `db` in admin.ts [info]
+
+**File:** `src/server/routes/admin.ts`
+
+**Issue:** `type Env = { Variables: { db?: any; userId?: number } }` uses `any` for `db`. Other routes in the codebase use the same pattern (consistent), but `any` loses type safety for DB operations.
+
+**Recommendation:** This is a pre-existing pattern across the codebase — acceptable for now. Future refactor could use the typed `LibSQLDatabase` or `DrizzlePostgres` type from the db module.
+
+---
+
+### INFO-02 — `grant-admin.ts` script has no DB connection cleanup [info]
+
+**File:** `scripts/grant-admin.ts`
+
+**Issue:** The script imports `db` from `../src/db/index.ts` which creates a `postgres` connection pool. The script doesn't explicitly call `postgres.end()` after the update. With Bun, the process exits cleanly after top-level await, but the connection pool may log a warning or leave a dangling connection in some environments.
+
+**Risk:** Negligible for a CLI script — process exit terminates all connections. This is standard for Bun one-shot scripts.
+
+**Recommendation:** No action required. Optionally add `process.exit(0)` at the end to make intent explicit, but not necessary.
+
+---
+
+## Security Assessment
+
+- **isAdmin defaults to false** — correct, new users cannot be admins by default (NOT NULL DEFAULT false)
+- **requireAdmin always queries live DB** — no caching, stale flag not possible server-side
+- **No public endpoint exposes admin promotion** — grant-admin.ts requires server access
+- **Client-side isAdmin is decorative only** — server enforces 403 on all /api/admin/* routes; client guard is UX only
+- **requireAuth + requireAdmin chain** — correctly applied on all /* in admin.ts via `app.use("/*", requireAuth, requireAdmin)`
+
+No critical security vulnerabilities found.
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+Phase 36 implementation is solid. The two warnings are low-risk: WR-01 is a documentation/future-author concern and WR-02 has no security impact. Both INFO items are non-blocking. The security model is correctly layered (server enforces, client is decorative).
+
+**Verdict: Ready to proceed to verification.**

+# Phase 36: Admin Role & Panel Foundation — UI Design Contract
+
+**Phase:** 36 — Admin Role & Panel Foundation
+**Created:** 2026-04-19
+**Status:** Ready for planning
+
+---
+
+## Design Intent
+
+The admin panel is a protected, minimal shell consistent with the app's existing light/airy aesthetic. It is not a distinct visual world — it reuses the same white background, gray borders, and sans-serif type as the rest of GearBox. The only indicator of admin context is the sidebar and a subtle "Admin" badge or heading.

+## Component Specs
+
+### Admin Shell (`src/client/routes/admin.tsx`)
+
+**Outer wrapper:** `flex min-h-[calc(100vh-3.5rem)]` (full height minus TopNav 3.5rem/14)
+
+**Sidebar:**
+- `w-56 border-r border-gray-100 bg-white p-4 flex flex-col gap-1`
+- Header: `text-xs font-semibold text-gray-400 uppercase tracking-wide mb-3` — "Admin"
+- Nav items: `flex items-center gap-2 px-3 py-2 rounded-lg text-sm` (disabled state below)
+
+**Main content:**
+- `flex-1 p-6 bg-gray-50`
+- Contains `<Outlet />`
+
+### Sidebar Nav Items (Disabled / Coming Soon)
+
+Both "Items" and "Tags" are disabled in this phase.
+
+**Disabled item style:**
+```
+flex items-center gap-2 px-3 py-2 rounded-lg text-sm
+text-gray-300 cursor-not-allowed
+```
+
+**Icon + label + badge:**
+```tsx
+<div className="flex items-center gap-2 px-3 py-2 rounded-lg text-sm text-gray-300 cursor-not-allowed">
+  <LucideIcon name="package" size={16} />
+  <span>Items</span>
+  <span className="ml-auto text-xs bg-gray-100 text-gray-400 px-1.5 py-0.5 rounded">Soon</span>
+</div>
+```
+
+Icons to use:
+- Items → `"package"` (matches existing collection icon)
+- Tags → `"tag"`
+
+### Admin Index Placeholder (`src/client/routes/admin/index.tsx`)
+
+Simple centered placeholder:
+```tsx
+<div className="flex flex-col items-center justify-center h-64 text-center">
+  <LucideIcon name="shield" size={32} className="text-gray-300 mb-3" />
+  <p className="text-sm text-gray-500">Admin Panel</p>
+  <p className="text-xs text-gray-400 mt-1">Select a section from the sidebar</p>
+</div>
+```
+
+### Admin Link in UserMenu
+
+Position: before Profile link (top of menu).
+Only rendered when `auth?.user?.isAdmin === true`.
+
+```tsx
+{auth?.user?.isAdmin && (
+  <>
+    <Link
+      to="/admin"
+      onClick={() => setOpen(false)}
+      className="flex items-center gap-2 px-3 py-2 text-sm text-gray-700 hover:bg-gray-50 transition-colors"
+    >
+      <LucideIcon name="shield" size={16} className="text-gray-400" />
+      Admin
+    </Link>
+    <div className="border-t border-gray-100 my-1" />
+  </>
+)}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Palette (existing conventions)
+
+| Token | Value | Usage |
+|-------|-------|-------|
+| bg-white | #ffffff | Sidebar, TopNav |
+| bg-gray-50 | #f9fafb | Page background, main content |
+| border-gray-100 | #f3f4f6 | Sidebar border, dividers |
+| text-gray-900 | #111827 | Active/primary text |
+| text-gray-500 | #6b7280 | Secondary text |
+| text-gray-300 | #d1d5db | Disabled items |
+| text-gray-400 | #9ca3af | Icons, muted labels |
+
+---
+
+## Responsive
+
+- Sidebar is always visible (no mobile collapse in this phase — admin is desktop-only usage)
+- `hidden md:flex` wrapper if needed to keep mobile layout clean, but admin route is inherently desktop

+
+## Key Files
+
+### Created

+# Phase 37: Admin — Global Item Management - Context
+
+**Gathered:** 2026-04-19
+**Status:** Ready for planning
+
+<domain>
+## Phase Boundary
+
+Build the `/admin/items` list and `/admin/items/$id` edit page, wired into the Phase 36 admin shell. Admins can browse all global catalog items, open and edit any item's full field set, and delete items with an impact-aware confirmation. No new capabilities beyond browse/edit/delete.
+
+</domain>
+
+<decisions>
+## Implementation Decisions
+
+### List View
+- **D-01:** Data table layout — dense rows with sortable columns. No card grid. No existing table component; implement with plain Tailwind-styled HTML table.
+- **D-02:** Columns: Brand + Model | Category | Weight | Price | Tags (chip or count) | Owner Count | Actions.
+- **D-03:** Server-side infinite scroll pagination — load next page as admin scrolls down. No explicit next/prev buttons. Consistent with IntersectionObserver scroll detection. 50 items per page is a sensible default.
+
+### Edit Workflow
+- **D-04:** Dedicated edit page at `/admin/items/$itemId` — full-page form, bookmarkable. Consistent with the item/catalog detail page pattern already in the app.
+- **D-05:** Delete lives on the edit page only (not on the list). Admin must open an item to delete it.
+
+### Brand / Manufacturer Field
+- **D-06:** Dropdown of existing manufacturers (fetched from `/api/manufacturers`). Admin picks from the list — no free-text brand creation in this phase. Prevents accidental duplicate manufacturers.
+
+### Delete Confirmation
+- **D-07:** Impact-aware confirmation dialog: show item name + owner count before confirming. Example: "Delete Salsa Woodsmoke 700? 3 users have this in their collection. This cannot be undone." Owner count already available from `getGlobalItemWithOwnerCount`.
+
+### Claude's Discretion
+- Exact column sort order and default sort (brand asc is reasonable)
+- Whether tags column shows chips or a count badge when many tags exist
+- Form field layout on the edit page (single column vs. two-column grid for compact fields)
+- How the infinite scroll trigger is implemented (IntersectionObserver sentinel div)
+- Styling of the delete button (destructive red, positioned at bottom of edit form)
+
+</decisions>
+
+<canonical_refs>
+## Canonical References
+
+**Downstream agents MUST read these before planning or implementing.**
+
+### Existing Service Layer
+- `src/server/services/global-item.service.ts` — `searchGlobalItems`, `getGlobalItemWithOwnerCount`, `upsertGlobalItem`; DELETE function needs to be added here
+- `src/server/routes/global-items.ts` — existing GET/POST endpoints (public); admin DELETE will go through `/api/admin/items` route
+
+### Admin Infrastructure (Phase 36)
+- `src/server/routes/admin.ts` — admin route stub; extend with item sub-routes here
+- `src/server/middleware/auth.ts` — `requireAdmin` middleware already in place
+- `src/client/routes/admin.tsx` — admin shell layout with `<Outlet />`; "Items" nav item needs to be enabled (remove `cursor-not-allowed`, add active link)
+
+### Client Routes
+- `src/client/routes/admin/index.tsx` — admin index placeholder; stays as-is
+- TanStack Router file-based routing: create `admin/items.tsx` (list) and `admin/items/$itemId.tsx` (edit)
+
+### Database Schema
+- `src/db/schema.ts` — `globalItems`, `manufacturers`, `tags`, `globalItemTags` tables
+
+### Existing Reusable Hooks / Patterns
+- `src/client/hooks/` — React Query hooks pattern; add `useAdminGlobalItems` (infinite query) and `useAdminGlobalItem`
+- `src/client/lib/api.ts` — `apiGet`, `apiDelete`, `apiPut` fetch wrappers
+- `src/server/routes/manufacturers.ts` (or similar) — GET /api/manufacturers for the brand dropdown
+
+### Requirements
+- `.planning/REQUIREMENTS.md` — ADMN-02, ADMN-03, ADMN-04
+
+</canonical_refs>
+
+<code_context>
+## Existing Code Insights
+
+### Reusable Assets
+- `getGlobalItemWithOwnerCount` service function: already returns `ownerCount` — reuse for delete confirmation and edit page header
+- `upsertGlobalItem` service: handles create and update via `onConflictDoUpdate`; admin edit will call this directly (PUT /api/admin/items/:id)
+- `ImageUpload` component (`src/client/components/`) — reuse for image field on edit page
+- `useFormatters()` hook — reuse for weight/price display in the table
+- LucideIcon `"package"` already in the admin sidebar "Items" entry — just enable it
+
+### Established Patterns
+- Infinite scroll: Phase 26 discovery feed used cursor pagination + React Query's `useInfiniteQuery` — same pattern here
+- Edit forms: item/catalog detail pages use controlled form state with `apiPut`
+- Destructive confirmation: confirm modals exist in the app (setup delete, etc.) — reuse the same modal pattern
+- React Query invalidation: mutations call `queryClient.invalidateQueries` with relevant query keys
+
+### Integration Points
+- `src/client/routes/admin.tsx`: Change "Items" sidebar entry from `<div cursor-not-allowed>` to `<Link to="/admin/items">` with active styling
+- `src/server/index.ts`: Register `adminItemRoutes` under `/api/admin/items`
+- `src/server/routes/admin.ts`: Mount item sub-router
+
+</code_context>
+
+<specifics>
+## Specific Ideas
+
+- Table row click → navigate to `/admin/items/$itemId`
+- Edit page has a back link "← Items" to return to the list
+- Delete button at bottom of edit form, styled destructive red, triggers impact-aware modal
+- Infinite scroll sentinel: a `<div ref={sentinelRef}>` at bottom of table; IntersectionObserver triggers next page fetch
+
+</specifics>
+
+<deferred>
+## Deferred Ideas
+
+- Manufacturer creation from within the admin panel — admin can only pick existing manufacturers in this phase; creating new ones is out of scope
+- Bulk delete / bulk edit from the list — admin-only single-item workflow for now
+- Column sorting — mentioned as a potential feature but not in ADMN-02/03/04 success criteria; Claude's discretion whether to include basic sort

+**Areas discussed:** List view style, Edit workflow, Brand/manufacturer field, Delete confirmation
+
+---
+
+## List view style
+
+| Option | Description | Selected |
+|--------|-------------|----------|
+| Data table | Dense rows with columns for brand, model, category, weight, price, tags, owner count. Sortable, scannable, admin-appropriate. | ✓ |
+| Card grid | Consistent with public catalog. Reuses GearImage/card patterns but wastes space for data management. | |
+| List rows (compact) | Single-line rows with brand/model + a few stats. Middle ground. | |
+
+**User's choice:** Data table
+
+**Table columns selected:** Brand + Model, Category + Weight + Price, Tags, Owner count

+
+| Option | Description | Selected |
+|--------|-------------|----------|
+| Dedicated edit page /admin/items/$id | Full-page form, bookmarkable, consistent with detail page pattern. | ✓ |
+| Slide-over drawer | Slides in over list, keeps list context. Requires new drawer component. | |
+
+**User's choice:** Dedicated edit page
+
+**Delete location:** Edit page only (not on list)
+
+---
+
+## Brand/manufacturer field
+
+| Option | Description | Selected |
+|--------|-------------|----------|
+| Dropdown of existing manufacturers | Admin picks from list fetched from /api/manufacturers. Safe, no duplicates. | ✓ |
+| Free-text with auto-match | Admin types brand; matched or created on save. Risks duplicates. | |

+
+## Delete confirmation
+
+| Option | Description | Selected |
+|--------|-------------|----------|
+| Impact-aware | Show item name + owner count: "3 users have this in their collection. This cannot be undone." | ✓ |
+| Simple confirmation | "Are you sure? This cannot be undone." No extra data. | |

+# Phase 37: Admin — Global Item Management — Research
+
+**Phase:** 37 — Admin — Global Item Management
+**Researched:** 2026-04-19
+**Requirements:** ADMN-02, ADMN-03, ADMN-04
+
+---
+
+## Summary
+
+This phase extends the admin shell built in Phase 36 with two new pages: a paginated list of all global catalog items (`/admin/items`) and a full-page edit form for each item (`/admin/items/$itemId`). The server side needs a `deleteGlobalItem` service function and admin-specific routes under `/api/admin/items`. The client side needs two new TanStack Router routes, a `useAdminGlobalItems` infinite query hook, and a `useAdminGlobalItem` + delete/update hooks. All primary patterns are already established in the codebase.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Server-Side: What Needs to Be Added
+
+### 1.1 Missing: `deleteGlobalItem` in global-item.service.ts
+
+`src/server/services/global-item.service.ts` currently exports:
+- `searchGlobalItems` — basic search with tag filter, no pagination
+- `getGlobalItemWithOwnerCount` — single item with owner count
+- `upsertGlobalItem` — create/update by (manufacturerId, model)
+- `bulkUpsertGlobalItems` — bulk version
+
+**Missing:** `deleteGlobalItem(db, id)` — DELETE from `globalItems` WHERE id. This is simple; no cascades defined on `globalItems` for `items.globalItemId` (it's a nullable reference, no `onDelete: cascade`). Deleting a global item will NOT cascade-delete user items — user items will have `globalItemId = null` after deletion (the FK is nullable). Verify FK behavior before writing the delete service.
+
+Checking schema.ts: `items.globalItemId` is `integer("global_item_id").references(() => globalItems.id)` — no `onDelete` clause, which in PostgreSQL defaults to `RESTRICT` (not CASCADE). **This means deleting a global item that has owners will FAIL with a FK constraint violation.** The plan must handle this: either:
+1. Null out `items.globalItemId` before deleting the global item (SET globalItemId = null WHERE globalItemId = id), OR
+2. Block delete if ownerCount > 0, with the impact-aware confirmation dialog already planned in CONTEXT.md
+
+Decision (from CONTEXT.md D-07): the confirmation dialog shows the ownerCount. But the FK constraint will still block deletion even after user confirmation. The service must null the FK references before deleting the global item. Pattern: in a transaction, `UPDATE items SET global_item_id = null WHERE global_item_id = $id`, then `DELETE FROM global_items WHERE id = $id`.
+
+Also need to clean up `globalItemTags` — but those have `onDelete: cascade` from the schema? Let me verify: `globalItemTags.globalItemId` references `globalItems.id`. The schema does not show an explicit `onDelete` clause, so it also defaults to RESTRICT. The delete must explicitly delete `globalItemTags` rows before deleting the global item.
+
+Correct delete order in a transaction:
+1. `UPDATE items SET global_item_id = null WHERE global_item_id = id` — nullify user item links
+2. `DELETE FROM global_item_tags WHERE global_item_id = id` — remove tag associations
+3. `DELETE FROM global_items WHERE id = id` — safe to delete now
+
+### 1.2 Admin Item Routes: `/api/admin/items`
+
+Current `src/server/routes/admin.ts` only has `GET /` returning `{ ok: true }`. Must be extended (or a separate sub-router mounted at `/api/admin/items`).
+
+Pattern from codebase: create a new `src/server/routes/admin-items.ts` router and mount it in `admin.ts` using `app.route("/items", adminItemRoutes)`. This keeps admin.ts clean and follows the same pattern as `global-items.ts`.
+
+Required endpoints:
+- `GET /api/admin/items` — paginated list (cursor-based or offset), search, tag filter
+- `GET /api/admin/items/:id` — single item with owner count
+- `PUT /api/admin/items/:id` — update item fields (wrap `upsertGlobalItem`)
+- `DELETE /api/admin/items/:id` — delete item (new `deleteGlobalItem` service)
+
+**Pagination approach for admin list:** The existing `searchGlobalItems` returns ALL items matching the query — no pagination. For the admin list with infinite scroll (D-03), the server must support cursor or offset pagination. Options:
+- **Offset/limit** — simple, works for admin use case (items don't change frequently). `GET /api/admin/items?offset=0&limit=50`
+- **Cursor-based** — already used in discovery feed (`src/server/services/discovery.service.ts`). More robust but more complex.
+
+Recommendation: **offset/limit** for admin. Simpler to implement. Admin is a low-traffic, single-user feature. The discovery service cursor pattern adds complexity not needed here.
+
+The existing `searchGlobalItems` must be extended or a new `listGlobalItemsForAdmin` function created to support:
+- `query` (text search across brand + model)
+- `tagNames` filter
+- `limit` and `offset`
+- Total count for display ("1,247 items")
+
+### 1.3 Admin PUT: Updating Global Items
+
+`upsertGlobalItem` takes `manufacturerSlug` and does an upsert by (manufacturerId, model). For admin edit, the admin changes individual fields (not always brand/model). Using the existing `upsertGlobalItem` is viable — admin sends the full item data including manufacturerSlug.
+
+However, the admin edit needs to update by `id` not by (brand, model). A new `updateGlobalItemById` service function is cleaner:
+- Takes `id` and partial update fields
+- Updates `globalItems` record directly by ID
+- Syncs tags via `syncGlobalItemTags` (already private in service file — needs to be called or made into a shared helper)
+
+Alternatively: reuse `upsertGlobalItem` since it handles the update path if (manufacturerId, model) already exists. The admin form sends manufacturerSlug + model which are guaranteed unique, so the upsert will always hit the update path for existing items.
+
+**Decision:** Add `updateGlobalItemById(db, id, data)` to the service — cleaner than relying on upsert conflict resolution for admin edits. Takes `{ manufacturerId?, model?, category?, weightGrams?, priceCents?, imageUrl?, description?, sourceUrl?, imageCredit?, imageSourceUrl?, tags? }`. This is more direct and avoids the manufacturerSlug → manufacturerId resolution dance.
+
+### 1.4 Tags for Filter
+
+The list has tag filtering (ADMN-02). Need `GET /api/tags` (or existing tag endpoint) to populate the tag filter dropdown. Verify: `src/server/routes/tags.ts` exists and exposes `GET /api/tags`. The `useTags` hook likely fetches from this endpoint.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Client-Side: Routes and Hooks
+
+### 2.1 New TanStack Router Routes
+
+Per CONTEXT.md decisions D-04 and the existing TanStack Router file-based routing pattern:
+- `src/client/routes/admin/items.tsx` — admin item list (`/admin/items`)
+- `src/client/routes/admin/items.$itemId.tsx` — admin item edit page (`/admin/items/$itemId`)
+
+Note: TanStack Router uses `$` prefix for dynamic segments in filenames. Verify: existing route `src/client/routes/global-items/$globalItemId.tsx` uses `$` prefix. Same pattern applies here.
+
+### 2.2 Admin Shell Sidebar: Enable Items Link
+
+`src/client/routes/admin.tsx` currently renders "Items" as a disabled `<div>` with cursor-not-allowed. Phase 37 replaces this with an active `<Link to="/admin/items">` with appropriate active styling. The "Tags" entry stays disabled.
+
+Active link pattern — use `useRouterState` or TanStack Router's `<Link activeProps>`:
+```tsx
+<Link
+  to="/admin/items"
+  className={({ isActive }) =>
+    `flex items-center gap-2 px-3 py-2 rounded-lg text-sm transition-colors ${
+      isActive
+        ? "bg-gray-100 text-gray-900 font-medium"
+        : "text-gray-600 hover:bg-gray-50"
+    }`
+  }
+>
+```
+
+TanStack Router `<Link>` supports `activeProps` for active state styling.
+
+### 2.3 Infinite Scroll Pattern
+
+CONTEXT.md D-03 specifies server-side infinite scroll with IntersectionObserver. The `useInfiniteQuery` from React Query is the right hook. Pattern from existing hooks:
+
+The discovery hooks use simple `useQuery` (not infinite). For true infinite scroll, use `useInfiniteQuery`:
+```typescript
+export function useAdminGlobalItems(query?: string, tags?: string[]) {
+  return useInfiniteQuery({
+    queryKey: ["admin-global-items", query ?? "", tags ?? []],
+    queryFn: ({ pageParam = 0 }) =>
+      apiGet<AdminGlobalItemPage>(`/api/admin/items?offset=${pageParam}&limit=50${...}`),
+    getNextPageParam: (lastPage) => lastPage.hasMore ? lastPage.nextOffset : undefined,
+    initialPageParam: 0,
+  });
+}
+```
+
+IntersectionObserver sentinel div at bottom of table triggers `fetchNextPage()`.
+
+### 2.4 Tags Column in Table
+
+CONTEXT.md leaves the exact tag display to Claude's discretion. Given the table density requirement (D-01), tags should display as a count badge when > 2 tags, full chips when <= 2. This keeps the table dense while showing the data.
+
+### 2.5 Edit Form Fields
+
+CONTEXT.md D-03/D-04 specifies the edit page is a full-page form. Fields to edit (per ADMN-03):
+- `brand` (manufacturer) — Dropdown of existing manufacturers (D-06)
+- `model` — text input
+- `weightGrams` — number input
+- `priceCents` — number input (display as price, store as cents)
+- `imageUrl` — text input (URL) or ImageUpload component for S3
+- `imageCredit` — text input
+- `imageSourceUrl` — text input (URL)
+- `description` — textarea
+- `sourceUrl` — text input (URL)
+- `tags` — multi-select or chip input
+
+**Manufacturer dropdown:** Needs `GET /api/manufacturers` (already exists). The `listManufacturers` service returns `{ id, name, slug, ... }`. The dropdown should show `name` but track `slug` for the API call. OR if using `updateGlobalItemById`, pass `manufacturerId` directly (integer).
+
+**Tags input:** No existing multi-select tag component. Options:
+1. Comma-separated text input (simplest)
+2. Chip-style with add/remove (better UX)
+
+Recommendation: Use a simple tag input that renders chips. The CatalogSearchOverlay already has tag chips pattern. Implement inline — a text input that adds tags on Enter/comma, chips that remove on click. ~30 lines of code.
+
+### 2.6 Delete Flow
+
+Delete is on the edit page only (D-05). Pattern: button at bottom triggers an inline modal/dialog. Can reuse the ConfirmDialog pattern from `src/client/components/ConfirmDialog.tsx` but it is hardwired to item deletion from UIStore. For admin use, create an inline confirmation state (local `useState`):
+
+```tsx
+const [showDeleteConfirm, setShowDeleteConfirm] = useState(false);
+```
+
+Show the impact-aware message: "Delete {brand} {model}? {N} users have this in their collection. This cannot be undone."
+
+After confirmation, call `DELETE /api/admin/items/:id` and navigate back to `/admin/items`.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Missing Service: `listGlobalItemsForAdmin`
+
+The existing `searchGlobalItems` does not support pagination. Need a new service function that returns paginated results with total count:
+
+```typescript
+export async function listGlobalItemsForAdmin(
+  db: Db,
+  opts: {
+    query?: string;
+    tagNames?: string[];
+    offset?: number;
+    limit?: number;
+  }
+) {
+  // Returns { items: [...], total: number, hasMore: boolean, nextOffset: number }
+}
+```
+
+This function also needs to return tags for each item (for the tags column). Two options:
+1. Fetch tags in a separate query per item (N+1, bad)
+2. Fetch tags for all returned items in a single query after the main query
+
+Option 2 is better: after fetching the page of global items, fetch all `globalItemTags JOIN tags WHERE globalItemId IN (ids)` in one query, then map back to items.
+
+Also need **owner count** per item in the list (for display and delete confirmation). Same approach: after fetching items page, count items per globalItemId in one query: `SELECT global_item_id, COUNT(*) FROM items WHERE global_item_id IN (ids) GROUP BY global_item_id`.
+
+The list query will need:
+- Main paginated query with offset/limit
+- Count query for total
+- Tags batch query
+- Owner count batch query
+
+This is 4 queries per page load — acceptable for an admin use case. Performance is not critical for a single-admin tool.

+## 4. Validation Architecture
+
+Key validations for this phase:
+
+| Check | Command/Method | Expected |
+|-------|---------------|----------|
+| TypeScript compiles | `bun run build` | Exit 0 |
+| Admin items list loads | `GET /api/admin/items` with admin token | Returns `{ items, total, hasMore }` |
+| Admin item detail loads | `GET /api/admin/items/1` with admin token | Returns item with ownerCount |
+| Admin item update | `PUT /api/admin/items/1` with admin token | Returns updated item |
+| Admin item delete | `DELETE /api/admin/items/1` with admin token | Returns `{ success: true }` |
+| Delete blocked for non-admin | `DELETE /api/admin/items/1` without auth | Returns 401 |
+| Infinite scroll activates | Scroll to bottom of list | Next page fetches |
+| Edit page navigates back | Click "← Items" | Returns to /admin/items |
+| Delete confirmation shows ownerCount | Open delete dialog | Shows correct count |
+| routeTree.gen.ts updated | Check file | Contains /admin/items and /admin/items/$itemId routes |
+
+---
+
+## 5. Existing Patterns to Reuse (Summary)
+
+| Pattern | Location | Use For |
+|---------|----------|---------|
+| Hono route handler | `src/server/routes/global-items.ts` | Admin items routes |
+| `requireAuth` + `requireAdmin` chaining | `src/server/routes/admin.ts` | Admin items route middleware |
+| `useInfiniteQuery` | React Query docs (not yet used in codebase) | Admin items infinite scroll |
+| `useQuery` with enabled flag | `src/client/hooks/useGlobalItems.ts` | Admin item detail hook |
+| `apiGet`, `apiPut`, `apiDelete` | `src/client/lib/api.ts` | API calls |
+| `LucideIcon` | `src/client/lib/iconData.ts` | Icons in admin UI |
+| `useFormatters()` | `src/client/hooks/useFormatters.ts` | Weight/price display in table |
+| `GearImage` | `src/client/components/GearImage.tsx` | Thumbnail in table |
+| Local confirm state (useState) | Various components | Admin delete confirmation |
+| `Link to="/admin/items"` with activeProps | TanStack Router | Sidebar nav active state |
+| `IntersectionObserver` sentinel | (not yet in codebase, standard pattern) | Infinite scroll trigger |
+
+---
+
+## RESEARCH COMPLETE
+
+Phase 37 is well-scoped and low-risk. The main new work:
+1. `deleteGlobalItem(db, id)` service with correct FK cleanup order
+2. `listGlobalItemsForAdmin(db, opts)` service with pagination + batched tags + owner counts
+3. `updateGlobalItemById(db, id, data)` service for direct-by-id updates
+4. New admin item sub-router at `src/server/routes/admin-items.ts`
+5. Two new client routes: `admin/items.tsx` and `admin/items.$itemId.tsx`
+6. `useAdminGlobalItems` infinite query hook + `useAdminGlobalItem` + update/delete mutations
+7. Sidebar "Items" link activation in `admin.tsx`
+
+No schema changes. No migration required. All within the existing PostgreSQL + Drizzle + React Query + TanStack Router stack.

+# Code Review: Phase 37 — Admin Global Item Management
+
+## Summary
+
+9 files reviewed at standard depth. No critical issues. 3 warnings (real bugs / UX gaps worth fixing), 2 info notes.
+
+---
+
+## Findings
+
+### WR-01 — Tags not populated from loaded item on edit page
+
+**Severity:** warning
+**File:** `src/client/routes/admin/items.$itemId.tsx` (line 130)
+
+The `useEffect` that populates form state from the loaded item hardcodes `tags: []` instead of pulling tags from `item`. Since `AdminGlobalItemDetail` extends `Omit<AdminGlobalItem, "tags">`, tags are not present on the detail endpoint response. However, this means a user saving the form immediately will send `tags: []` to the PUT endpoint, which calls `syncGlobalItemTags` with an empty array — silently clearing all existing tags.
+
+**Fix options:**
+1. Include tags in the `GET /api/admin/items/:id` response (extend `getGlobalItemWithOwnerCount` to also fetch tags).
+2. Populate tags on the list page item click by passing them through navigation state, or fetch them separately on the edit page.
+
+The safest fix is option 1: add a tag fetch to `getGlobalItemWithOwnerCount` and include them in `AdminGlobalItemDetail`.
+
+---
+
+### WR-02 — Save always sends `tags: form.tags` (empty array clears tags)
+
+**Severity:** warning
+**File:** `src/client/routes/admin/items.$itemId.tsx` (line 166)
+
+Related to WR-01. The `handleSave` function always includes `tags: form.tags` in the PUT payload, even when the user hasn't interacted with the tag field. Since `form.tags` starts as `[]`, saving without touching tags will call `updateGlobalItemById` with `tags: []`, which triggers `syncGlobalItemTags(tx, id, [])` — deleting all existing tags silently.
+
+**Fix:** Only include `tags` in the payload when the user has explicitly modified the tag field. Track a `tagsModified` boolean flag, or use `undefined` as the default form tags value and only set it to `[]` when the user clears the last tag.
+
+---
+
+### WR-03 — `limit` query param negative values not rejected
+
+**Severity:** warning
+**File:** `src/server/routes/admin-items.ts` (line 48)
+
+The limit guard is:
+```ts
+limit: isNaN(limit) || limit > 100 ? 50 : limit,
+```
+
+This passes through negative `limit` values (e.g., `?limit=-1`) to `listGlobalItemsForAdmin`, which passes them directly to Drizzle's `.limit()`. SQLite treats `LIMIT -1` as no limit — returning all rows. This is an admin-only endpoint so exploitation risk is low, but it could cause unintended large payloads.
+
+**Fix:** Add `limit <= 0` to the fallback condition:
+```ts
+limit: isNaN(limit) || limit <= 0 || limit > 100 ? 50 : limit,
+```
+
+---
+
+### INFO-01 — `type Env = { Variables: { db?: any; userId?: number } }` duplicated
+
+**Severity:** info
+**Files:** `src/server/routes/admin-items.ts` (line 12), `src/server/routes/admin.ts` (line 4)
+
+Both new files define `Env` locally using `any` for `db`. This is consistent with the existing pattern in other route files (e.g., `global-items.ts`), but it suppresses type safety on the `db` variable. Not a new issue — pre-existing pattern.
+
+---
+
+### INFO-02 — `AdminGlobalItemDetail` redundantly declares `ownerCount`
+
+**Severity:** info
+**File:** `src/client/hooks/useAdminGlobalItems.ts` (line 40)
+
+```ts
+export interface AdminGlobalItemDetail extends Omit<AdminGlobalItem, "tags"> {
+  ownerCount: number;
+}
+```
+
+`AdminGlobalItem` already includes `ownerCount: number`, so `Omit<AdminGlobalItem, "tags">` already carries `ownerCount`. The explicit re-declaration is harmless but redundant. Minor cleanup opportunity.
+
+---
+
+## Self-Check
+
+- [x] No SQL injection vectors (Drizzle parameterized queries throughout)
+- [x] Auth protection: all admin routes inherit `requireAuth + requireAdmin` from parent router
+- [x] Transaction safety: delete and update operations use `db.transaction`
+- [x] FK integrity: delete nullifies `items.globalItemId` before deleting
+- [x] Input validation: PUT body validated via `zValidator` with Zod schema
+- [x] No secrets or credentials in code
+- [x] Build passes, tests pass

+# Phase 37 — UI Design Contract
+
+> Visual and interaction contract for Admin — Global Item Management. Generated from CONTEXT.md decisions, RESEARCH.md findings, and codebase pattern analysis.
+
+---
+
+## Design System
+
+| Property | Value |
+|----------|-------|
+| Tool | none — Tailwind CSS v4 utility-first |
+| Preset | not applicable |
+| Component library | none (custom components) |
+| Icon library | LucideIcon from `src/client/lib/iconData` |
+| Font | System default (Inter-like sans-serif via browser) |
+
+No `components.json` detected. No shadcn. All styling is plain Tailwind utility classes matching the app's existing light/airy aesthetic.
+
+---
+
+## Spacing Scale
+
+Standard 8-point scale from existing app patterns:
+
+| Token | Value | Usage |
+|-------|-------|-------|
+| xs | 4px (`gap-1`, `p-1`) | Icon gaps, inline chip gaps |
+| sm | 8px (`gap-2`, `p-2`) | Compact table cell padding, tag chips |
+| md | 16px (`gap-4`, `p-4`) | Default form field spacing, sidebar padding |
+| lg | 24px (`gap-6`, `p-6`) | Section padding, edit page padding |
+| xl | 32px (`gap-8`, `p-8`) | Page-level layout gaps |
+| 2xl | 48px | Major section breaks (used sparingly) |
+| 3xl | 64px | Not used in admin panel |
+
+Exceptions:
+- Table row height: `py-3` (12px vertical) + `px-4` (16px horizontal) for dense data rows
+- Sidebar nav items: `px-3 py-2` (12px vertical) — matches Phase 36 admin shell
+
+---
+
+## Typography
+
+Matches existing app type scale. No new sizes introduced.
+
+| Role | Size | Weight | Line Height | Tailwind |
+|------|------|--------|-------------|---------|
+| Body / table cell | 14px | 400 | 1.5 | `text-sm` |
+| Label / column header | 12px | 600 | 1.4 | `text-xs font-semibold` |
+| Form field label | 14px | 600 | 1.4 | `text-sm font-semibold` |
+| Page heading | 18px | 600 | 1.3 | `text-lg font-semibold` |
+
+Weights used: 400 (regular) + 600 (semibold). No medium (500), no bold (700).
+
+---
+
+## Color
+
+60/30/10 rule — matches Phase 36 admin shell exactly:
+
+| Role | Value | Tailwind | Usage |
+|------|-------|---------|-------|
+| Dominant (60%) | #ffffff | `bg-white` | Page backgrounds, table rows, edit form |
+| Secondary (30%) | #f9fafb | `bg-gray-50` | Main content area, input backgrounds |
+| Border / divider | #f3f4f6 | `border-gray-100` | Table row dividers, sidebar border |
+| Text primary | #111827 | `text-gray-900` | Item names, column data |
+| Text secondary | #4b5563 | `text-gray-600` | Labels, form hints |
+| Text muted | #9ca3af | `text-gray-400` | Column headers, disabled states |
+| Accent (10%) | #2563eb | `text-blue-600`, `bg-blue-50` | Save button, active nav link indicator |
+| Destructive | #dc2626 | `bg-red-600 hover:bg-red-700` | Delete button ONLY |
+
+Accent reserved for:
+- Save/Update primary button
+- Active sidebar nav link highlight (left border or background)
+
+Destructive reserved for:
+- Delete button in edit page
+- Confirm delete button inside the delete dialog
+

+## Manual-Only Verifications
+
+| Behavior | Requirement | Why Manual | Test Instructions |
+|----------|-------------|------------|-------------------|
+| Admin items list loads with pagination | ADMN-02 | Requires live server + admin user | Dev server: navigate to /admin/items as admin |
+| Infinite scroll fetches next page | ADMN-02 | Requires live browser with enough data | Scroll to bottom of items list |
+| Edit form saves and redirects | ADMN-03 | Requires live server + form interaction | Open any item, change a field, save |
+| Delete with ownerCount > 0 warns | ADMN-04 | Requires item with actual owners | Use seeded item, confirm dialog shows count |
+| Non-admin redirect from /admin/items | ADMN-01 | Client-side guard requires browser | Log in as non-admin, navigate to /admin/items |

+<objective>
+Build the backend for admin tag management: schema migration (parentId on tags), service layer (CRUD + cycle detection), API routes, and tests.
+
+Purpose: Provides the full server-side API that the client UI (Plan 02) will consume. Includes the parentId schema change, all CRUD service functions with cycle detection, Hono route module, route registration, and comprehensive tests.
+
+Output: Working `/api/admin/tags` endpoints with GET (list + single), POST, PUT (with cycle guard), DELETE. Schema migration applied. Tests passing.

+**1. Add `parentId` to `tags` table in `src/db/schema.ts` (per D-01):**
+
+Add a `parentId` column to the `tags` table definition, between `name` and `createdAt`:
+
+```typescript
+parentId: integer("parent_id").references(() => tags.id, { onDelete: "set null" }),
+```
+
+This is a self-referential FK using the same lambda pattern as `globalItemTags.tagId` but with `onDelete: "set null"` (per D-02) and nullable (no `.notNull()`).
+
+**2. Generate and push the Drizzle migration:**
+
+Run `bun run db:generate` to create the migration file, then `bun run db:push` to apply it.
+
+**3. Extend `src/server/services/tag.service.ts` with these functions:**
+
+Add imports: `count`, `eq` from `drizzle-orm`; `globalItemTags` from schema.
+
+Add an **`isDescendant`** private function (not exported) that walks the ancestor chain of `candidateParentId` to check if it reaches `tagId`. Takes `allTags: { id: number; parentId: number | null }[]`, `candidateParentId: number`, `tagId: number`. Returns `boolean`. Uses a `visited` Set to guard against existing cycles in data.
+
+```typescript
+function isDescendant(
+  allTags: { id: number; parentId: number | null }[],
+  candidateParentId: number,
+  tagId: number,
+): boolean {
+  let current: number | null = candidateParentId;
+  const visited = new Set<number>();
+  while (current !== null) {
+    if (current === tagId) return true;
+    if (visited.has(current)) break;
+    visited.add(current);
+    const node = allTags.find((t) => t.id === current);
+    current = node?.parentId ?? null;
+  }
+  return false;
+}
+```
+
+Add **`getAdminTags`**: SELECT tags.id, tags.name, tags.parentId, COUNT(globalItemTags.globalItemId) as itemCount FROM tags LEFT JOIN globalItemTags ON globalItemTags.tagId = tags.id GROUP BY tags.id, tags.name, tags.parentId ORDER BY tags.name ASC. Returns flat array.
+
+Add **`getTagWithCounts`**: Same as getAdminTags but filtered by `eq(tags.id, id)`. Returns single tag or null.
+
+Add **`createTag`**: Takes `db, data: { name: string; parentId?: number | null }`. Inserts into tags with `name` and `parentId` (default null). Returns the created tag via `.returning()`.
+
+Add **`updateTag`**: Takes `db, id: number, data: { name?: string; parentId?: number | null }`. If `data.parentId` is not undefined and not null, fetches all tags (id + parentId only), calls `isDescendant(allTags, data.parentId, id)`. If cycle detected, throws `new Error("Cycle detected: the selected parent is a descendant of this tag.")`. Then runs `.update(tags).set(...)` with the provided fields. Handle `parentId` explicitly: if `data.parentId === null` set it to null (reparent to top-level per D-09), if undefined omit from set. Returns updated tag or null.
+
+Add **`deleteTag`**: Takes `db, id: number`. Deletes the tag by id, returns boolean (deleted or not). Children become top-level automatically via ON DELETE SET NULL (per D-12).
+
+Keep existing `getAllTags` function unchanged.
+
+**4. Extend `tests/services/tag.service.test.ts` with new test blocks:**
+
+Add imports for the new service functions: `getAdminTags`, `createTag`, `updateTag`, `deleteTag`, `getTagWithCounts`.
+
+Add a helper: `async function insertTag(db, name, parentId?)` that inserts a tag and returns the row.
+
+Add these describe blocks after the existing tests:
+
+- `describe("getAdminTags")`: test that it returns tags with parentId and itemCount fields; parentId is null for top-level tags.
+- `describe("createTag")`: test creating a tag without parent (parentId null), and with a parent (parentId set to existing tag id).
+- `describe("updateTag / cycle detection")`: test renaming (name change), setting parentId, setting parentId to null (reparent to top-level), and that setting a descendant as parent throws "Cycle detected".
+- `describe("deleteTag")`: test deletion returns true, deletion of non-existent returns false, and that deleting a parent causes children's parentId to become null.

+  <action>
+**1. Create `src/server/routes/admin-tags.ts`:**
+
+Follow the exact structure of `admin-items.ts`. Import `zValidator` from `@hono/zod-validator`, `Hono`, `z` from `zod`, `parseId` from `../lib/params.ts`, and service functions from `../services/tag.service.ts`.
+
+Define Zod schemas:
+```typescript
+const createTagSchema = z.object({
+  name: z.string().min(1),
+  parentId: z.number().int().positive().nullable().optional(),
+});
+
+const updateTagSchema = z.object({
+  name: z.string().min(1).optional(),
+  parentId: z.number().int().positive().nullable().optional(),
+});
+```
+
+Implement 5 handlers:
+
+- `GET /` — calls `getAdminTags(db)`, returns JSON array.
+- `GET /:id` — calls `getTagWithCounts(db, id)`, returns 400 for invalid id, 404 for not found, JSON tag.
+- `POST /` — validates with `createTagSchema`, calls `createTag(db, data)`, returns 201 with created tag.
+- `PUT /:id` — validates with `updateTagSchema`, calls `updateTag(db, id, data)`. Wraps in try/catch: if error message starts with "Cycle detected", return 400 with `{ error: err.message }`. Otherwise re-throw. Returns 404 if tag not found.
+- `DELETE /:id` — calls `deleteTag(db, id)`, returns 404 if not found, `{ success: true }` if deleted.
+
+Export as `adminTagRoutes`.
+
+**2. Register routes in `src/server/routes/admin.ts`:**
+
+Add import: `import { adminTagRoutes } from "./admin-tags.ts";`
+
+Add after the existing `app.route("/items", adminItemRoutes);` line:
+```typescript
+app.route("/tags", adminTagRoutes);
+```
+
+**3. Create `tests/routes/admin-tags.test.ts`:**
+
+Follow the exact test factory pattern from `tests/routes/tags.test.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+function createTestApp(db: any) {
+  const app = new Hono();
+  app.use("*", async (c, next) => {
+    c.set("db", db);
+    await next();
+  });
+  app.route("/api/admin/tags", adminTagRoutes);
+  return app;
+}
+```
+
+Add a helper: `async function insertTag(db, name, parentId?)`.
+
+Write integration tests covering:
+
+- `describe("GET /api/admin/tags")`: returns 200 with empty array; returns tags with id, name, parentId, itemCount fields after seeding.
+- `describe("POST /api/admin/tags")`: returns 201 with created tag; creates tag with parentId; returns 400 for empty name.
+- `describe("PUT /api/admin/tags/:id")`: renames a tag; updates parentId; sets parentId to null (reparent to top-level per D-09); returns 400 for cycle (create A->B->C, try to set A as child of C); returns 404 for non-existent id.
+- `describe("DELETE /api/admin/tags/:id")`: returns 200 with `{ success: true }`; children become orphans (parentId null) after parent deletion; returns 404 for non-existent id.

+### Notes on Task 2 (db:push)
+
+The migration file (`drizzle-pg/0010_yielding_random.sql`) was generated successfully and committed. The `bun run db:push` command failed with a Postgres auth error (no local Postgres credentials in this environment). The migration SQL is correct:
+
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE "tags" ADD COLUMN "parent_id" integer;
+ALTER TABLE "tags" ADD CONSTRAINT "tags_parent_id_tags_id_fk" FOREIGN KEY ("parent_id") REFERENCES "public"."tags"("id") ON DELETE set null ON UPDATE no action;
+```
+
+All tests use `createTestDb()` (in-memory PGlite) which runs migrations from the schema, so tests pass without needing the live Postgres instance.
+
+## Known Stubs
+
+None.
+
+## Threat Surface Scan
+
+All mitigations from the plan's threat model are implemented:
+- T-38-01: Auth inherited from `admin.ts` `app.use("/*", requireAuth, requireAdmin)` — adminTagRoutes are registered under this middleware.
+- T-38-02: `isDescendant` cycle check in `updateTag` before any DB write; route returns 400.
+- T-38-03: `zValidator("json", createTagSchema)` and `zValidator("json", updateTagSchema)` on POST/PUT.
+- T-38-04: Accepted — React renders as text content.
+
+## Self-Check: PASSED
+
+- `src/server/routes/admin-tags.ts` — exists ✓
+- `src/server/services/tag.service.ts` — exports all required functions ✓
+- `drizzle-pg/0010_yielding_random.sql` — exists with correct SQL ✓
+- `tests/routes/admin-tags.test.ts` — exists, 13 tests pass ✓
+- Commits 8cefdf6 and 311ebe8 — verified in git log ✓

+<objective>
+Build the client-side UI for admin tag management: React Query hooks, list page with collapsible tree view and quick-add form, edit page with rename/reparent/delete, and enable the Tags sidebar link.
+
+Purpose: Delivers the full admin-facing UI for tag CRUD and hierarchy management, consuming the API built in Plan 01. Completes all ADMN-05 through ADMN-10 requirements at the user-facing level.
+
+Output: Working `/admin/tags` list page with collapsible tree, quick-add, search/filter. Working `/admin/tags/$tagId` edit page with rename, parent picker (cycle-safe), and delete confirmation. Tags link active in admin sidebar.

+  </read_first>
+  <action>
+**1. Create `src/client/hooks/useAdminTags.ts`:**
+
+Define types:
+```typescript
+export interface AdminTag {
+  id: number;
+  name: string;
+  parentId: number | null;
+  itemCount: number;
+}
+
+export interface CreateTagPayload {
+  name: string;
+  parentId?: number | null;
+}
+
+export interface UpdateTagPayload {
+  name?: string;
+  parentId?: number | null;
+}
+```
+
+Implement 5 hooks following the `useAdminGlobalItems.ts` pattern:
+
+- `useAdminTags()` — `useQuery({ queryKey: ["admin-tags"], queryFn: () => apiGet<AdminTag[]>("/api/admin/tags") })`
+- `useAdminTag(id: number | null)` — `useQuery` with `queryKey: ["admin-tag", id]`, `enabled: id != null`, retry suppression for 404 using `ApiError`
+- `useCreateAdminTag()` — `useMutation` with `apiPost<AdminTag>("/api/admin/tags", data)`, onSuccess invalidates `["admin-tags"]` AND `["tags"]`
+- `useUpdateAdminTag()` — `useMutation` with `apiPut<AdminTag>(\`/api/admin/tags/${id}\`, data)`, onSuccess invalidates `["admin-tags"]`, `["admin-tag", id]`, AND `["tags"]`
+- `useDeleteAdminTag()` — `useMutation` with `apiDelete<{ success: boolean }>(\`/api/admin/tags/${id}\`)`, onSuccess invalidates `["admin-tags"]` AND `["tags"]`
+
+CRITICAL: All mutations must invalidate BOTH `["admin-tags"]` and `["tags"]` to keep the public cache fresh (see RESEARCH.md Pitfall 4).
+
+**2. Create `src/client/routes/admin/tags.tsx`:**
+
+Route declaration: `createFileRoute("/admin/tags")` with component `AdminTagsPage`.
+
+**Tree building utilities** (define inside the file or above the component):
+
+`TreeNode` interface extends `AdminTag` with `children: TreeNode[]` and `depth: number`.
+
+`buildTree(tags: AdminTag[]): TreeNode[]` — builds tree from flat array. For each tag, create a TreeNode. Tags with `parentId === null` or whose parent is not in the map become roots. Children get `depth = parent.depth + 1`. Sort children alphabetically by name within each parent.
+
+`flattenTree(nodes: TreeNode[], expanded: Set<number>): TreeNode[]` — depth-first flatten. For each node, push it to result. Only recurse into children if `expanded.has(node.id)`.
+
+`filterTree(nodes: TreeNode[], query: string): TreeNode[]` — per D-05: recursively filter. A node is included if its name matches (case-insensitive) OR any descendant matches. When included via descendant match, preserve the full subtree path. Non-matching leaves with no matching descendants are removed.
+
+**Component state:**
+- `searchQuery: string` — controlled search input
+- `newName: string` — quick-add form name input
+- `newParentId: number | null` — quick-add form parent picker
+- `expanded: Set<number>` — expanded node IDs. Initialize with ALL parent IDs on data load (per D-03, start expanded).
+
+Use `useEffect` to set `expanded` to the set of all tag IDs that have children whenever the `data` from `useAdminTags()` changes.
+
+**Page structure (top to bottom):**
+
+1. **Header row** — `flex items-center justify-between mb-4`:
+   - Left: `<h1 className="text-lg font-semibold text-gray-900">Tags</h1>` + `<p className="text-sm text-gray-400 mt-0.5">{N} tags</p>`
+   - Right: search input with `w-64 rounded-lg border border-gray-200 px-3 py-2 text-sm focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-blue-500/20 focus:border-blue-300`, placeholder "Search tags..."
+
+2. **Quick-add form** (per D-07) — `flex items-center gap-3 mb-4`:
+   - Name input: `flex-1`, `inputClass` styling from items pattern, placeholder "Tag name..."
+   - Parent picker: native `<select>` with `rounded-lg border border-gray-200 px-3 py-2 text-sm focus:outline-none bg-white appearance-none w-48`. First option: `<option value="">No parent (top-level)</option>`. Remaining options: all tags from `data` mapped to `<option key={t.id} value={t.id}>{t.name}</option>`.
+   - "Add Tag" button: `px-4 py-2 rounded-lg bg-blue-600 hover:bg-blue-700 text-white text-sm font-medium transition-colors disabled:opacity-50`, disabled when `createMutation.isPending || !newName.trim()`. Text: "Adding..." when pending, "Add Tag" otherwise.
+   - On submit: call `createMutation.mutateAsync({ name: newName.trim(), parentId: newParentId })`. On success: clear `newName` to `""`, reset `newParentId` to `null`.
+   - On error: show `<p className="text-sm text-red-500 mt-1">` below the form.
+
+3. **Error state** — same as items.tsx: `<div className="py-12 text-center text-sm text-red-500">Failed to load tags. Please try again.</div>`
+
+4. **Tree table card** — `w-full overflow-hidden rounded-xl border border-gray-100 bg-white`:
+   - Table with `w-full text-sm`
+   - Thead: `bg-gray-50 border-b border-gray-100` with 3 columns:
+     - "Tag" — `px-4 py-3 text-left text-xs font-semibold text-gray-400 uppercase tracking-wide`
+     - "Items" — same styling
+     - "" (empty, right-aligned actions column)
+   - Tbody: skeleton rows (6 rows x 3 cols with `h-4 bg-gray-100 rounded animate-pulse`) when loading.
+   - When loaded: compute `tree = buildTree(data)`, then `filtered = searchQuery ? filterTree(tree, searchQuery) : tree`, then `rows = flattenTree(filtered, expanded)`. Render each row:
+
+**Tree row rendering** — each `<tr>` with `key={node.id}`, `className="border-b border-gray-50 hover:bg-gray-50 cursor-pointer transition-colors"`, `onClick` navigates to `/admin/tags/$tagId`:
+
+   - **Name cell** `<td className="px-4 py-2.5">`:
+     - `<div className="flex items-center gap-1" style={{ paddingLeft: \`${node.depth * 20}px\` }}>`:
+       - If `node.children.length > 0`: chevron button `<button type="button" onClick={(e) => { e.stopPropagation(); toggleExpand(node.id); }} className="text-gray-400 hover:text-gray-600 w-5 h-5 flex items-center justify-center rounded hover:bg-gray-100 p-0.5">`. Inside: `<LucideIcon name={expanded.has(node.id) ? "chevron-down" : "chevron-right"} size={14} />`
+       - If leaf node (no children): `<span className="w-5" />` spacer
+       - `<span className="font-medium text-gray-900">{node.name}</span>`
+   - **Items cell** `<td className="px-4 py-2.5 text-sm text-gray-400">`: `{node.itemCount} items`
+   - **Actions cell** `<td className="px-4 py-2.5 text-right">`: `<span className="text-xs text-gray-400">Edit</span>`
+
+5. **Empty state** — when `!isLoading && rows.length === 0 && !isError`:
+   - If `searchQuery`: `<div className="py-12 text-center"><p className="text-sm text-gray-900 font-medium">No tags match your search.</p></div>`
+   - If no search: `<div className="py-12 text-center"><p className="text-sm font-medium text-gray-900">No tags yet</p><p className="text-sm text-gray-400 mt-1">Add your first tag using the form above.</p></div>`
+
+**Toggle function:**
+```typescript
+function toggleExpand(id: number) {
+  setExpanded(prev => {
+    const next = new Set(prev);
+    if (next.has(id)) next.delete(id);
+    else next.add(id);
+    return next;
+  });

+  <action>
+**1. Create `src/client/routes/admin/tags.$tagId.tsx`:**
+
+Route declaration: `createFileRoute("/admin/tags/$tagId")` with component `AdminTagEditPage`.
+
+Import hooks: `useAdminTag`, `useAdminTags`, `useUpdateAdminTag`, `useDeleteAdminTag` from `../../hooks/useAdminTags`.
+
+**Helper functions (above component):**
+
+`getDescendantIds(allTags: AdminTag[], tagId: number): Set<number>` — recursively collects all descendant IDs. Filter `allTags` for tags where `parentId === tagId`, add their IDs to result set, recurse for each. Per D-11 (client-side cycle prevention).
+
+`getDeleteConfirmText(tag: AdminTag, childCount: number): string` — builds the confirmation message per D-13/D-14:
+- If `tag.itemCount > 0`: append `"{N} {item/items} use this tag."`
+- If `childCount > 0`: append `"Its {N} child {tag/tags} will become top-level."`
+- Always append `"This cannot be undone."`
+- Join with spaces.
+- If both counts are 0: just `"This cannot be undone."`
+
+**CSS constants** (copy verbatim from items.$itemId.tsx):
+```typescript
+const inputClass = "w-full rounded-lg border border-gray-200 px-3 py-2 text-sm focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-blue-500/20 focus:border-blue-300";
+const labelClass = "block text-sm font-medium text-gray-700 mb-1";
+```
+
+**Component:**
+
+Extract `tagId` from `Route.useParams()`, parse to `id = Number(tagId)`.
+
+Hooks:
+- `const { data: tag, isLoading, isError } = useAdminTag(id)`
+- `const { data: allTags } = useAdminTags()` — for parent picker options and childCount
+- `const updateMutation = useUpdateAdminTag()`
+- `const deleteMutation = useDeleteAdminTag()`
+- `const navigate = useNavigate()`
+
+State:
+- `form: { name: string; parentId: number | null }` — initialized from tag data via useEffect
+- `showDeleteConfirm: boolean` — false initially
+
+Populate form on tag load:
+```typescript
+useEffect(() => {
+  if (tag) {
+    setForm({ name: tag.name, parentId: tag.parentId });
+  }
+}, [tag]);
+```
+
+Computed values:
+- `excludedIds = new Set([id, ...getDescendantIds(allTags ?? [], id)])` — IDs to exclude from parent picker
+- `parentOptions = (allTags ?? []).filter(t => !excludedIds.has(t.id))` — valid parent options
+- `childCount = (allTags ?? []).filter(t => t.parentId === id).length` — direct children count for delete confirmation
+
+**Loading skeleton** — `max-w-2xl mx-auto`, 3 skeleton bars with `h-10 bg-gray-100 rounded-lg animate-pulse`.
+
+**Error state** — `max-w-2xl mx-auto text-center py-12`, `<p className="text-sm text-red-500">Failed to load tag. Please try again.</p>`
+
+**Page layout** — `max-w-2xl mx-auto`:
+
+1. **Back link**: `<button type="button" onClick={() => navigate({ to: "/admin/tags" })} className="text-sm text-gray-400 hover:text-gray-600 transition-colors mb-6 block">` with text `\u2190 Tags`
+
+2. **Page heading**: `<h1 className="text-lg font-semibold text-gray-900">{tag.name}</h1>` + `<p className="text-sm text-gray-400 mt-0.5">{tag.itemCount > 0 ? \`${tag.itemCount} items use this tag\` : "Not used by any items"}</p>`
+
+3. **Form** with `onSubmit={handleSave}`:
+   - **Name field**: `<label className={labelClass}>Name</label>` + `<input type="text" value={form.name} onChange={e => handleChange("name", e.target.value)} className={inputClass} />`
+   - **Parent field** (per D-08): `<label className={labelClass}>Parent Tag</label>` + `<select value={form.parentId ?? ""} onChange={e => handleChange("parentId", e.target.value ? Number(e.target.value) : null)} className={inputClass + " appearance-none bg-white"}>`. Options: `<option value="">No parent (top-level)</option>` + parentOptions mapped to `<option key={t.id} value={t.id}>{t.name}</option>`.
+
+4. **Actions row** — `flex items-center justify-between mt-8 pt-6 border-t border-gray-100`:
+   - Left: Delete button `<button type="button" onClick={() => setShowDeleteConfirm(true)} disabled={deleteMutation.isPending} className="px-4 py-2 rounded-lg border border-red-200 text-red-600 hover:bg-red-50 text-sm font-medium transition-colors disabled:opacity-50">Delete Tag</button>`

+
+5. **Save error** — `{updateMutation.isError && <p className="text-sm text-red-500 mt-2 text-right">Failed to save. Please try again.</p>}`
+
+6. **Delete confirmation dialog** (per D-09, D-13, D-14) — copy the exact modal structure from items.$itemId.tsx (fixed inset-0 overlay, white rounded-xl card):

+   - Cancel button: `px-4 py-2 text-sm font-medium text-gray-700 bg-gray-100 hover:bg-gray-200 rounded-lg`
+   - Delete button: `px-4 py-2 text-sm font-medium text-white bg-red-600 hover:bg-red-700 rounded-lg`, text "Deleting..." when pending
+
+**handleSave:**
+```typescript
+async function handleSave(e: React.FormEvent) {
+  e.preventDefault();
+  await updateMutation.mutateAsync({
+    id,
+    data: { name: form.name || undefined, parentId: form.parentId },
+  });
+}
+```
+
+**handleDelete:**
+```typescript
+async function handleDelete() {
+  await deleteMutation.mutateAsync(id);
+  navigate({ to: "/admin/tags" });
+}
+```
+
+**2. Enable Tags sidebar link in `src/client/routes/admin.tsx`:**
+
+Replace the entire disabled `<div>` block (lines 42-52, from `{/* Tags -- disabled (phase 38) */}` through the closing `</div>`) with an active `<Link>`:
+
+```typescript
+{/* Tags — active (phase 38) */}
+<Link
+  to="/admin/tags"
+  activeProps={{ className: "bg-gray-100 text-gray-900 font-medium" }}
+  inactiveProps={{ className: "text-gray-600 hover:bg-gray-50" }}
+  className="flex items-center gap-2 px-3 py-2 rounded-lg text-sm transition-colors"
+>
+  <LucideIcon name="tag" size={16} />
+  <span>Tags</span>
+</Link>
+```
+
+This follows the exact same pattern as the Items link above it (lines 32-40). Remove the "Soon" badge span entirely.

+    6. **Create a child tag**: Type "down" in the quick-add form, select "sleeping-bag" as parent, click "Add Tag" — "down" appears indented under "sleeping-bag"
+    7. **Expand/collapse**: Click the chevron on "sleeping-bag" — "down" should hide/show

+# Phase 38 Plan 02: Admin Tag Management Client UI Summary
+
+React Query hooks, collapsible tree list page, edit page with cycle-safe reparent and impact-aware delete confirmation, and Tags sidebar link activated in the admin panel.
+
+## Tasks Completed
+
+| # | Name | Commit | Files |
+|---|------|--------|-------|
+| 1 | Client hooks + tag list page with tree view and quick-add | 1f8b85d | useAdminTags.ts, admin/tags.tsx |
+| 2 | Tag edit page with rename, reparent, delete + sidebar link activation | 0571ee4 | admin/tags.$tagId.tsx, admin.tsx |
+
+## What Was Built
+
+### `src/client/hooks/useAdminTags.ts`
+
+Five React Query hooks: `useAdminTags` (list), `useAdminTag` (single with 404 retry suppression), `useCreateAdminTag`, `useUpdateAdminTag`, `useDeleteAdminTag`. All mutations invalidate both `["admin-tags"]` and `["tags"]` to keep the public tag cache fresh.
+
+### `src/client/routes/admin/tags.tsx`
+
+Tag list page at `/admin/tags` with:
+- `buildTree` — builds hierarchical tree from flat array with self-referential parent links
+- `flattenTree` — depth-first flatten respecting the `expanded` Set for show/hide
+- `filterTree` — recursive filter that preserves parent rows when descendants match
+- Collapsible chevron-based tree rows with 20px-per-depth indentation
+- Quick-add inline form with name input, parent picker (`No parent (top-level)` default), and "Add Tag" button
+- Search input filtering tree in-place
+- Skeleton loading, error state, two empty states (no tags / no search results)
+
+### `src/client/routes/admin/tags.$tagId.tsx`
+
+Tag edit page at `/admin/tags/$tagId` with:
+- `getDescendantIds` — recursively collects all descendant IDs to exclude from parent picker (client-side cycle prevention)
+- `getDeleteConfirmText` — builds contextual confirmation: item count warning + child count warning + "This cannot be undone."
+- Name rename field and cycle-safe parent picker (`parentOptions` excludes self + all descendants)
+- Delete confirmation modal with impact-aware body text per D-13/D-14
+- Actions row: Delete Tag (left, destructive) / Save Changes (right, primary)
+
+### `src/client/routes/admin.tsx`
+
+Replaced the disabled `<div cursor-not-allowed>` Tags entry with an active `<Link to="/admin/tags">` following the Items link pattern. "Soon" badge removed.
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+None — plan executed exactly as written.
+
+## Threat Surface Scan
+
+No new network endpoints, auth paths, or schema changes introduced (client-only plan). T-38-05 admin shell guard already present in admin.tsx. T-38-06 client-side cycle prevention implemented as UX layer; server validates authoritatively.

+# Phase 38: Admin — Tag Management - Context
+
+**Gathered:** 2026-04-19
+**Status:** Ready for planning
+
+<domain>
+## Phase Boundary
+
+Build the `/admin/tags` list and `/admin/tags/$tagId` edit page, wired into the Phase 36 admin shell. Admins can browse all tags in a collapsible tree view, create new tags via a quick-add form, rename/reparent tags on a dedicated edit page, and delete tags with an impact-aware confirmation. Adds `parentId` to the tags table to enable arbitrary-depth parent-child hierarchy.
+
+No new capabilities beyond create/rename/reparent/delete and hierarchy visualization.
+
+</domain>
+
+<decisions>
+## Implementation Decisions
+
+### Schema Migration
+- **D-01:** Add `parentId integer REFERENCES tags(id) ON DELETE SET NULL NULLABLE` to the `tags` table via Drizzle migration. Self-referential FK — no depth limit at the schema level.
+- **D-02:** On parent deletion, `ON DELETE SET NULL` orphans children (they become top-level). No cascading child deletion.
+
+### List View — Collapsible Tree
+- **D-03:** Collapsible tree view (not a flat table). Parent tags render rows; children are indented below. All nodes start expanded on page load.
+- **D-04:** Columns: Name (with indent level visual) | Item Count | Actions.
+- **D-05:** Search/filter mode: filter in-tree — non-matching rows are hidden in place. Parents with matching children remain visible; non-matching leaf nodes are hidden.
+- **D-06:** No separate "Children Count" column — children are visible in the tree structure below each parent.
+
+### Create UX
+- **D-07:** Quick-add form at the top of the tag list (not a separate page). Fields: name + optional parent picker. Submits inline without navigation.
+
+### Edit UX
+- **D-08:** Dedicated edit page at `/admin/tags/$tagId` — consistent with Phase 37 item edit pattern. Fields: name + parent picker.
+- **D-09:** Delete lives on the edit page (not the list), following Phase 37 D-05.
+
+### Hierarchy Depth
+- **D-10:** Arbitrary depth — any tag can be a parent of any other (no 1-level limit). Future-proofed for deep taxonomies.
+- **D-11:** Cycle prevention is dual-layer:
+  - **Client**: Parent picker filters out the tag's own descendants from the dropdown options.
+  - **Server**: API validates that the new parent is not a descendant of the tag being updated. Returns 400 with a clear error message if a cycle is detected.
+
+### Delete Behavior
+- **D-12:** Deleting a tag orphans its children — they become top-level tags (`parentId` SET NULL via FK cascade).
+- **D-13:** Delete confirmation dialog shows: item count + child count warning. Example: "Delete 'sleeping-bag'? 12 items use this tag. Its 3 child tags will become top-level. This cannot be undone."
+- **D-14:** If a tag has 0 items and 0 children, the confirmation is simplified: "Delete 'sleeping-bag'? This cannot be undone."
+
+### Claude's Discretion
+- Exact visual styling of tree indentation (border-left line, chevron icon, or indent padding)
+- Whether to use a chevron toggle button or click-to-collapse on the row
+- Implementation of the collapsible tree (local component state vs. Zustand)
+- Exact error message copy for cycle detection rejection
+- Whether to add a "Move to top-level" shortcut on the edit page in addition to the parent picker
+
+</decisions>
+
+<canonical_refs>
+## Canonical References
+
+**Downstream agents MUST read these before planning or implementing.**
+
+### Existing Tag Infrastructure
+- `src/server/services/tag.service.ts` — `getAllTags`; extend with CRUD functions (createTag, updateTag, deleteTag, getTagWithCounts)
+- `src/server/routes/tags.ts` — existing `GET /api/tags`; admin CRUD routes go under `/api/admin/tags`
+- `src/db/schema.ts` — `tags` table (currently `id`, `name`, `createdAt`); add `parentId` here
+
+### Admin Infrastructure (Phase 36/37)
+- `src/server/routes/admin-items.ts` — admin item routes pattern; follow same structure for admin tag routes
+- `src/server/middleware/auth.ts` — `requireAdmin` middleware
+- `src/client/routes/admin.tsx` — admin shell layout with `<Outlet />`; "Tags" nav item needs to be enabled (remove cursor-not-allowed, add active Link)
+- `src/client/routes/admin/index.tsx` — admin index placeholder (unchanged)
+- `src/client/routes/admin/items.tsx` — list page pattern to follow
+- `src/client/routes/admin/items.$itemId.tsx` — edit page pattern to follow
+
+### Client Hooks
+- `src/client/hooks/useTags.ts` — existing hook; extend or create `useAdminTags` following `useAdminGlobalItems` pattern
+- `src/client/hooks/useAdminGlobalItems.ts` — pattern to follow for admin tag hooks
+- `src/client/lib/api.ts` — `apiGet`, `apiPost`, `apiPut`, `apiDelete` fetch wrappers
+
+### Requirements
+- `.planning/REQUIREMENTS.md` — ADMN-05, ADMN-06, ADMN-07, ADMN-08, ADMN-09, ADMN-10
+
+</canonical_refs>
+
+<code_context>
+## Existing Code Insights
+
+### Reusable Assets
+- `getAllTags` service function: returns `id` + `name` — extend to include `parentId`, `itemCount`, `childCount`
+- `apiGet`, `apiPost`, `apiPut`, `apiDelete` from `src/client/lib/api.ts` — same fetch wrappers as Phase 37
+- Admin shell sidebar: "Tags" entry already exists (Phase 36) but is disabled — just enable the Link
+
+### Established Patterns
+- Admin list page: See `src/client/routes/admin/items.tsx` for the search + table + infinite scroll pattern
+- Admin edit page: See `src/client/routes/admin/items.$itemId.tsx` for the form + delete-at-bottom pattern
+- React Query hooks: `useAdminGlobalItems` is the pattern for admin data hooks
+- Delete confirmation: Destructive modal pattern already used in Phase 37 item delete
+
+### Integration Points
+- `src/client/routes/admin.tsx`: Change "Tags" sidebar entry from disabled `<div>` to `<Link to="/admin/tags">`
+- `src/server/routes/admin.ts` (or `src/server/index.ts`): Register admin tag routes under `/api/admin/tags`
+- `src/db/schema.ts` + Drizzle migration: Add `parentId` column to `tags` table
+
+### Key Absence
+- No tree component exists in the codebase — this must be built from scratch. Keep it simple: Tailwind indentation + local expand/collapse state.
+
+</code_context>
+
+<specifics>
+## Specific Ideas
+
+- Tree row indent: 16-24px per level, visual hierarchy via a subtle left border or padding (consistent with app's minimal aesthetic)
+- Chevron/triangle icon (▶/▼) on parent rows to toggle expand/collapse
+- Quick-add form at top of list: name input + parent picker dropdown + "Add" button
+- Edit page back link: "← Tags" to return to list (same as Phase 37's "← Items")
+- Delete button at bottom of edit form, styled destructive red
+- Parent picker on edit page: searchable dropdown that excludes the tag itself and all its descendants
+
+</specifics>
+
+<deferred>
+## Deferred Ideas
+
+- Drag-to-reparent: drag a tag row onto a parent to reassign hierarchy — complex UX, out of scope for Phase 38
+- Bulk operations (bulk delete, bulk reparent) — single-item workflow only in this phase
+- Tag merge (merge two tags into one, reassigning all items) — separate capability, future milestone
+- Tag usage analytics (which tags are most used, fastest growing) — deferred to v2.5 engagement stats

+> Decisions are captured in CONTEXT.md — this log preserves the alternatives considered.
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-19
+**Phase:** 38-admin-tag-management
+**Areas discussed:** Create/Edit UX, Hierarchy display in list, Delete scope for parent tags, Hierarchy depth
+
+---
+
+## Create / Edit UX
+
+| Option | Description | Selected |
+|--------|-------------|----------|
+| Inline modal for both | Single modal handles create AND edit. No separate route. | |
+| Dedicated edit page (like Phase 37) | Consistent with items pattern at /admin/tags/$tagId. | ✓ |
+| Inline table editing | Click-to-edit in table rows. | |
+
+**User's choice:** Dedicated edit page for editing (consistent with Phase 37 pattern)
+
+---
+
+## Create UX (follow-up)
+
+| Option | Description | Selected |
+|--------|-------------|----------|
+| Quick-add row / form at top of list | Name input + parent picker inline at list top. | ✓ |
+| New tag via /admin/tags/new page | Dedicated page for creation. | |
+
+**User's choice:** Quick-add form at the top of the tag list
+
+---
+
+## Hierarchy display in list
+
+| Option | Description | Selected |
+|--------|-------------|----------|
+| Flat table with Parent column | Each row shows parent name, consistent with Phase 37. | |
+| Indented tree view | Children indented below parents, hierarchical visualization. | ✓ |
+
+**User's choice:** Indented tree view
+
+---
+
+## Tree + Filter behavior
+
+| Option | Description | Selected |
+|--------|-------------|----------|
+| Flatten on search | Switch to flat list when searching. | |
+| Filter in-tree | Hide non-matching rows in place, keep tree structure. | ✓ |
+
+**User's choice:** Filter in-tree (non-matching rows hidden, matching stay in place)
+
+---
+
+## Tree columns
+
+| Option | Description | Selected |
+|--------|-------------|----------|
+| Name + Item Count + Actions | Clean, minimal. | ✓ |
+| Name + Item Count + Children Count + Actions | Explicit child count. | |
+
+**User's choice:** Name + Item Count + Actions
+
+---
+
+## Delete scope for parent tags
+
+| Option | Description | Selected |
+|--------|-------------|----------|
+| Orphan children (become top-level) | Children lose parent, become top-level. | ✓ |
+| Block deletion until reparented | Admin must reparent children first. | (initially selected, then pivoted) |
+| Cascade delete children | Children deleted with parent. | |
+
+**User's choice:** Initially selected "Block deletion until reparented", then pivoted to "Orphan children (become top-level)" — user said "the moving up ain't too bad, i think we should pivot to that"
+
+---
+
+## Delete confirmation dialog
+
+| Option | Description | Selected |
+|--------|-------------|----------|
+| Show item count + child count warning | "12 items use this tag. Its 3 child tags will become top-level." | ✓ |
+| Show item count only | Children silently become top-level with no warning. | |
+
+**User's choice:** Show item count + child count warning
+
+---
+
+## Hierarchy depth
+
+| Option | Description | Selected |
+|--------|-------------|----------|
+| Strictly 1 level deep | Parent/child only. Simpler schema and rendering. | |
+| Arbitrary depth | Any tag can be a parent. Cycle detection needed. | ✓ |
+
+**User's choice:** Arbitrary depth — user said "if we don't do this right now we could hurt ourselves at some point, build it so it can handle however deep we want"
+
+---
+
+## Cycle prevention
+
+| Option | Description | Selected |
+|--------|-------------|----------|
+| Server-side validation only | API rejects cycles. | |
+| Filter parent picker in UI too | Dropdown excludes descendants. | |
+| Both | UI filters + server validates. | ✓ |
+
+**User's choice:** Both — "to prevent api mishaps"
+
+---
+
+## Tree expand/collapse
+
+| Option | Description | Selected |
+|--------|-------------|----------|
+| All expanded, no collapse | Simple. | |
+| Collapsible nodes | Parents can be expanded/collapsed. | ✓ |
+
+**User's choice:** Collapsible nodes
+
+---
+
+## Initial expand state
+
+| Option | Description | Selected |
+|--------|-------------|----------|
+| All expanded | Everything visible on load. | ✓ |
+| Top-level only (children collapsed) | Admin expands on demand. | |
+
+**User's choice:** All expanded on page load
+
+---
+
+## Claude's Discretion
+
+- Exact visual styling of tree indentation
+- Whether chevron or click-on-row to collapse
+- Collapsible tree implementation (local state vs. Zustand)
+- Exact error message copy for cycle detection
+- "Move to top-level" shortcut on edit page
+
+## Deferred Ideas
+
+- Drag-to-reparent — complex UX, out of scope

+**Self-referential FK pattern to follow** — use the lambda form `() => tags.id`, same as `globalItemTags.tagId` at line 218:
+```typescript
+// Existing onDelete cascade FK (globalItemTags lines 216-219):
+tagId: integer("tag_id")
+  .notNull()
+  .references(() => tags.id, { onDelete: "cascade" }),
+```
+
+**Target change** — add one column using the same lambda syntax but `onDelete: "set null"` and nullable (no `.notNull()`):
+```typescript
+export const tags = pgTable("tags", {
+  id: serial("id").primaryKey(),
+  name: text("name").notNull().unique(),
+  parentId: integer("parent_id").references(() => tags.id, { onDelete: "set null" }),
+  createdAt: timestamp("created_at").defaultNow().notNull(),
+});
+```

+### `src/server/services/tag.service.ts` — extend with admin CRUD + cycle detection
+
+**Analog:** `src/server/services/global-item.service.ts` (Drizzle query style, `count()`, `leftJoin`, `groupBy`)
+
+**Existing file** (`src/server/services/tag.service.ts` lines 1–12 — full file):
+```typescript
+import { asc } from "drizzle-orm";
+import { db as prodDb } from "../../db/index.ts";
+import { tags } from "../../db/schema.ts";
+
+type Db = typeof prodDb;
+

+  return db
+    .select({ id: tags.id, name: tags.name })
+    .from(tags)
+    .orderBy(asc(tags.name));
+}
+```
+
+**Import pattern to extend** (add alongside existing imports):
+```typescript
+import { asc, count, eq } from "drizzle-orm";
+import { db as prodDb } from "../../db/index.ts";
+import { globalItemTags, tags } from "../../db/schema.ts";
+```
+
+**`getAdminTags` pattern** — follow `global-item.service.ts` aggregate query style (`.select`, `.leftJoin`, `.groupBy`, `count()`):
+```typescript
+export async function getAdminTags(db: Db = prodDb) {
+  return db
+    .select({
+      id: tags.id,
+      name: tags.name,

+    .groupBy(tags.id, tags.name, tags.parentId)
+    .orderBy(asc(tags.name));
+}
+```
+
+**`createTag` pattern** — follow the `.insert().values().returning()` pattern used throughout services:
+```typescript
+export async function createTag(
+  db: Db,
+  data: { name: string; parentId?: number | null },
+) {
+  const [tag] = await db
+    .insert(tags)
+    .values({ name: data.name, parentId: data.parentId ?? null })
+    .returning();
+  return tag!;
+}
+```
+
+**`updateTag` pattern** — with cycle detection; follows service-level validation before DB write:
+```typescript
+export async function updateTag(
+  db: Db,
+  id: number,
+  data: { name?: string; parentId?: number | null },
+) {
+  if (data.parentId != null) {
+    const allTags = await db

+    if (isDescendant(allTags, data.parentId, id)) {
+      throw new Error("Cycle detected: the selected parent is a descendant of this tag.");
+    }
+  }
+  const [updated] = await db
+    .update(tags)
+    .set({ ...(data.name && { name: data.name }), parentId: data.parentId })
+    .where(eq(tags.id, id))
+    .returning();
+  return updated ?? null;
+}
+```
+
+**`deleteTag` pattern** — follows `deleteGlobalItem` pattern (delete by id, return boolean):
+```typescript
+export async function deleteTag(db: Db, id: number) {
+  const [deleted] = await db
+    .delete(tags)
+    .where(eq(tags.id, id))
+    .returning({ id: tags.id });
+  return deleted != null;
+}
+```
+
+**`isDescendant` cycle detection** — pure function, placed above `updateTag`, no DB calls (operates on pre-fetched flat array):
+```typescript
+function isDescendant(
+  allTags: { id: number; parentId: number | null }[],
+  candidateParentId: number,
+  tagId: number,
+): boolean {
+  let current: number | null = candidateParentId;
+  const visited = new Set<number>();
+  while (current !== null) {
+    if (current === tagId) return true;
+    if (visited.has(current)) break; // guard against existing cycle in data
+    visited.add(current);
+    const node = allTags.find((t) => t.id === current);
+    current = node?.parentId ?? null;

+
+**Parent picker on edit page** — filters out current tag + all descendants (no analog; new logic):

+// Compute descendants to exclude from parent picker
+function getDescendantIds(allTags: AdminTag[], tagId: number): Set<number> {
+  const result = new Set<number>();
+  const children = allTags.filter((t) => t.parentId === tagId);

+## Shared Patterns
+
+### Admin Authentication Guard
+**Source:** `src/server/routes/admin.ts` (lines 9–10)
+**Apply to:** `src/server/routes/admin-tags.ts` (inherited — registered under the `adminRoutes` which already has `requireAuth + requireAdmin`)
+```typescript
+// In admin.ts — already covers all sub-routes including /tags:
+app.use("/*", requireAuth, requireAdmin);
+```
+No per-route auth needed in `admin-tags.ts` itself.
+
+### DB Context Retrieval
+**Source:** `src/server/routes/admin-items.ts` (line 32, 56, 69, 81)
+**Apply to:** All handlers in `src/server/routes/admin-tags.ts`
+```typescript
+const db = c.get("db");
+```
+
+### ID Parsing + 400 Guard
+**Source:** `src/server/routes/admin-items.ts` (lines 57–59, 71–72, 82–83)
+**Apply to:** All `/:id` handlers in `src/server/routes/admin-tags.ts`
+```typescript
+const id = parseId(c.req.param("id"));
+if (!id) return c.json({ error: "Invalid tag ID" }, 400);
+```
+
+### `zValidator` Request Validation
+**Source:** `src/server/routes/admin-items.ts` (lines 65–67)
+**Apply to:** POST and PUT handlers in `src/server/routes/admin-tags.ts`
+```typescript
+app.put("/:id", zValidator("json", updateTagSchema), async (c) => {
+  const data = c.req.valid("json");
+  // ...
+});
+```
+
+### Dual Query Key Invalidation
+**Source:** Anti-pattern documented in RESEARCH.md (Pitfall 4); pattern shown in `useAdminGlobalItems.ts` as single-key invalidation
+**Apply to:** All mutations in `src/client/hooks/useAdminTags.ts`
+```typescript
+// Every mutation onSuccess must invalidate BOTH:
+queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ["admin-tags"] });
+queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ["tags"] });  // keep public cache fresh
+```
+
+### React Query `ApiError` 404 Retry Suppression
+**Source:** `src/client/hooks/useAdminGlobalItems.ts` (lines 85–87)
+**Apply to:** `useAdminTag` single-item query in `useAdminTags.ts`
+```typescript
+retry: (count, error) =>
+  error instanceof ApiError && error.status === 404 ? false : count < 3,
+```
+
+### Form Input/Label CSS Classes
+**Source:** `src/client/routes/admin/items.$itemId.tsx` (lines 176–179)
+**Apply to:** `src/client/routes/admin/tags.$tagId.tsx`
+```typescript
+const inputClass =
+  "w-full rounded-lg border border-gray-200 px-3 py-2 text-sm focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-blue-500/20 focus:border-blue-300";
+const labelClass = "block text-sm font-medium text-gray-700 mb-1";

+# Phase 38: Admin — Tag Management - Research
+
+**Researched:** 2026-04-19
+**Domain:** Full-stack CRUD with hierarchical data (self-referential FK), admin panel patterns, cycle detection
+**Confidence:** HIGH
+
+## Summary
+
+Phase 38 is entirely additive on top of well-established Phase 36/37 admin infrastructure. The codebase already has tags (`id`, `name`, `createdAt`), a service (`getAllTags`), a route (`GET /api/tags`), a hook (`useTags`), and a disabled "Tags" sidebar entry in the admin shell. The phase adds a `parentId` FK to the schema, builds admin CRUD routes under `/api/admin/tags`, and adds two client routes (`/admin/tags` list + `/admin/tags/$tagId` edit). Every pattern needed — service layer, Hono route module, React Query admin hooks, edit page structure, delete confirmation dialog — was established in Phase 37 for global items and can be followed directly.
+
+The only genuinely new technical concern is hierarchy management: building a flat-to-tree transformation for the list view, a recursive descendant collector for parent-picker filtering and cycle detection, and the server-side cycle guard. All of these are straightforward pure functions operating on the in-memory tag array — no recursive SQL CTEs are required because the tag count is small and the full list fits easily in a single query result.
+
+The `parentId` Drizzle self-referential FK uses a deferred lambda `() => tags.id` to handle the forward reference. Migration follows the same single-ALTER pattern as the `is_admin` migration from Phase 36. The `ON DELETE SET NULL` semantic is already supported by Drizzle's FK options and does not need custom code.
+
+**Primary recommendation:** Follow Phase 37 patterns exactly. The only new logic is tree flattening (list view) and cycle detection (service + client parent picker). Keep the tree component as pure local state — no Zustand needed.
+

+
+<user_constraints>
+## User Constraints (from CONTEXT.md)
+
+### Locked Decisions
+
+- **D-01:** Add `parentId integer REFERENCES tags(id) ON DELETE SET NULL NULLABLE` to the `tags` table via Drizzle migration. Self-referential FK — no depth limit at the schema level.
+- **D-02:** On parent deletion, `ON DELETE SET NULL` orphans children (they become top-level). No cascading child deletion.
+- **D-03:** Collapsible tree view (not a flat table). Parent tags render rows; children are indented below. All nodes start expanded on page load.
+- **D-04:** Columns: Name (with indent level visual) | Item Count | Actions.
+- **D-05:** Search/filter mode: filter in-tree — non-matching rows are hidden in place. Parents with matching children remain visible; non-matching leaf nodes are hidden.
+- **D-06:** No separate "Children Count" column — children are visible in the tree structure below each parent.
+- **D-07:** Quick-add form at the top of the tag list (not a separate page). Fields: name + optional parent picker. Submits inline without navigation.
+- **D-08:** Dedicated edit page at `/admin/tags/$tagId` — consistent with Phase 37 item edit pattern. Fields: name + parent picker.
+- **D-09:** Delete lives on the edit page (not the list), following Phase 37 D-05.
+- **D-10:** Arbitrary depth — any tag can be a parent of any other (no 1-level limit). Future-proofed for deep taxonomies.
+- **D-11:** Cycle prevention is dual-layer:
+  - **Client**: Parent picker filters out the tag's own descendants from the dropdown options.
+  - **Server**: API validates that the new parent is not a descendant of the tag being updated. Returns 400 with a clear error message if a cycle is detected.
+- **D-12:** Deleting a tag orphans its children — they become top-level tags (`parentId` SET NULL via FK cascade).
+- **D-13:** Delete confirmation dialog shows: item count + child count warning. Example: "Delete 'sleeping-bag'? 12 items use this tag. Its 3 child tags will become top-level. This cannot be undone."
+- **D-14:** If a tag has 0 items and 0 children, the confirmation is simplified: "Delete 'sleeping-bag'? This cannot be undone."
+
+### Claude's Discretion
+
+- Exact visual styling of tree indentation (border-left line, chevron icon, or indent padding)
+- Whether to use a chevron toggle button or click-to-collapse on the row
+- Implementation of the collapsible tree (local component state vs. Zustand)
+- Exact error message copy for cycle detection rejection
+- Whether to add a "Move to top-level" shortcut on the edit page in addition to the parent picker
+
+### Deferred Ideas (OUT OF SCOPE)
+
+- Drag-to-reparent
+- Bulk operations (bulk delete, bulk reparent)
+- Tag merge
+- Tag usage analytics

+
+## Architectural Responsibility Map
+
+| Capability | Primary Tier | Secondary Tier | Rationale |
+|------------|-------------|----------------|-----------|
+| Tag CRUD persistence | API / Backend (`tag.service.ts`) | Database (Drizzle) | Business logic and data validation live in the service layer |
+| Cycle detection (authoritative) | API / Backend (`tag.service.ts`) | — | Server is the authority; client filter is UX-only |
+| Tree data assembly (flat → tree) | API / Backend (optional) or Frontend | — | Tag count is small; flat array with parentId is sufficient; client transforms |
+| Collapsible tree rendering | Browser / Client | — | Pure UI state — local React state, no server involvement |
+| Parent picker descendant filtering | Browser / Client | — | Derived from full tag list already in React Query cache |
+| Admin auth guard | API / Backend (`requireAdmin` middleware) | Frontend (redirect in admin shell) | Server is authoritative; client redirect is UX convenience |

+```
+
+### Recommended Project Structure
+
+New files to create:
+
+```
+src/
+├── server/
+│   ├── routes/
+│   │   └── admin-tags.ts          # CRUD handlers for /api/admin/tags
+│   └── services/
+│       └── tag.service.ts         # Extend existing file with CRUD + cycle detection
+├── client/
+│   ├── hooks/
+│   │   └── useAdminTags.ts        # Admin tag hooks (mirrors useAdminGlobalItems pattern)
+│   └── routes/
+│       └── admin/
+│           ├── tags.tsx           # List page with tree view + quick-add
+│           └── tags.$tagId.tsx    # Edit page with rename + reparent + delete
+```
+
+Files to modify:
+
+```
+src/db/schema.ts                   # Add parentId to tags table
+src/server/routes/admin.ts         # Register adminTagRoutes
+src/client/routes/admin.tsx        # Enable "Tags" sidebar link
+```
+
+### Pattern 1: Self-Referential FK in Drizzle (PostgreSQL)
+
+**What:** The `tags` table references itself via `parentId`. Drizzle requires a deferred lambda to handle the forward reference.
+
+**When to use:** Any time a table references its own primary key.
+
+```typescript
+// Source: [VERIFIED: existing codebase pattern at globalItemTags, onDelete cascade]
+// Adapted for self-referential nullable FK
+
+export const tags = pgTable("tags", {
+  id: serial("id").primaryKey(),
+  name: text("name").notNull().unique(),
+  parentId: integer("parent_id").references(() => tags.id, { onDelete: "set null" }),
+  createdAt: timestamp("created_at").defaultNow().notNull(),
+});
+```
+
+**Migration generated:** Single ALTER statement, same as Phase 36's `is_admin` migration:
+```sql
+ALTER TABLE "tags" ADD COLUMN "parent_id" integer REFERENCES "tags"("id") ON DELETE SET NULL;
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Admin Service Functions (tag.service.ts extensions)
+
+**What:** Extend existing `tag.service.ts` with CRUD + aggregate queries.
+
+```typescript
+// Source: [VERIFIED: adapted from global-item.service.ts pattern in codebase]
+
+// Returns flat array; client builds tree
+export async function getAdminTags(db: Db) {
+  const result = await db
+    .select({
+      id: tags.id,
+      name: tags.name,
+      parentId: tags.parentId,
+      itemCount: count(globalItemTags.globalItemId),
+    })
+    .from(tags)
+    .leftJoin(globalItemTags, eq(globalItemTags.tagId, tags.id))
+    .groupBy(tags.id, tags.name, tags.parentId)
+    .orderBy(asc(tags.name));
+  return result;
+}
+
+export async function getTagWithCounts(db: Db, id: number) {
+  const [tag] = await db
+    .select({
+      id: tags.id,
+      name: tags.name,
+      parentId: tags.parentId,
+      itemCount: count(globalItemTags.globalItemId),
+    })
+    .from(tags)
+    .leftJoin(globalItemTags, eq(globalItemTags.tagId, tags.id))
+    .where(eq(tags.id, id))
+    .groupBy(tags.id, tags.name, tags.parentId);
+  return tag ?? null;
+}
+
+// childCount is computed client-side from getAdminTags flat array
+// (cheaper than a correlated subquery for small tag sets)
+```
+
+### Pattern 3: Cycle Detection (Server)
+
+**What:** Before updating `parentId`, verify that the new parent is not a descendant of the tag being updated. Operates on the full flat tag array fetched from DB.
+
+```typescript
+// Source: [ASSUMED — standard tree algorithm, not library-specific]
+
+function isDescendant(
+  allTags: { id: number; parentId: number | null }[],
+  candidateParentId: number,
+  tagId: number
+): boolean {
+  // Walk up the ancestor chain of candidateParentId
+  // If we encounter tagId, there's a cycle
+  let current: number | null = candidateParentId;
+  const visited = new Set<number>();
+  while (current !== null) {
+    if (current === tagId) return true;
+    if (visited.has(current)) break; // safety: existing cycle in data
+    visited.add(current);
+    const node = allTags.find((t) => t.id === current);
+    current = node?.parentId ?? null;
+  }
+  return false;
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 4: Admin Route Module (admin-tags.ts)
+
+**What:** Hono route module following the same structure as `admin-items.ts`.
+
+```typescript
+// Source: [VERIFIED: adapted from src/server/routes/admin-items.ts]
+
+import { zValidator } from "@hono/zod-validator";
+import { Hono } from "hono";
+import { z } from "zod";
+import { parseId } from "../lib/params.ts";
+import { createTag, deleteTag, getAdminTags, getTagWithCounts, updateTag } from "../services/tag.service.ts";
+
+type Env = { Variables: { db?: any; userId?: number } };
+const app = new Hono<Env>();
+
+const createTagSchema = z.object({
+  name: z.string().min(1),
+  parentId: z.number().int().positive().nullable().optional(),
+});
+
+const updateTagSchema = z.object({
+  name: z.string().min(1).optional(),
+  parentId: z.number().int().positive().nullable().optional(),
+});
+
+// GET /api/admin/tags — flat list with counts
+app.get("/", async (c) => { ... });
+
+// GET /api/admin/tags/:id — single tag with counts
+app.get("/:id", async (c) => { ... });
+
+// POST /api/admin/tags — create
+app.post("/", zValidator("json", createTagSchema), async (c) => { ... });
+
+// PUT /api/admin/tags/:id — update (with cycle check)
+app.put("/:id", zValidator("json", updateTagSchema), async (c) => { ... });
+
+// DELETE /api/admin/tags/:id
+app.delete("/:id", async (c) => { ... });
+
+export { app as adminTagRoutes };
+```
+
+### Pattern 5: Tree Building (Client)
+
+**What:** Pure function transforming flat `AdminTag[]` to a `TreeNode[]` for rendering. Keep in component or a `lib/treeUtils.ts` helper.
+
+```typescript
+// Source: [ASSUMED — standard algorithm]
+
+interface AdminTag { id: number; name: string; parentId: number | null; itemCount: number; }
+interface TreeNode extends AdminTag { children: TreeNode[]; depth: number; }
+
+function buildTree(tags: AdminTag[]): TreeNode[] {
+  const map = new Map<number, TreeNode>();
+  tags.forEach(t => map.set(t.id, { ...t, children: [], depth: 0 }));
+  const roots: TreeNode[] = [];
+  map.forEach(node => {
+    if (node.parentId === null) {
+      roots.push(node);
+    } else {
+      const parent = map.get(node.parentId);
+      if (parent) {
+        node.depth = parent.depth + 1;
+        parent.children.push(node);
+      } else {
+        roots.push(node); // orphan (parent deleted) → treat as top-level
+      }
+    }
+  });
+  return roots;
+}
+
+// Flatten tree to ordered rows for render
+function flattenTree(nodes: TreeNode[], result: TreeNode[] = []): TreeNode[] {
+  for (const node of nodes) {
+    result.push(node);
+    flattenTree(node.children, result);
+  }
+  return result;
+}
+```
+
+### Pattern 6: Client Hooks (useAdminTags.ts)
+
+**What:** Mirrors `useAdminGlobalItems.ts` — typed interfaces, `useQuery`/`useMutation`, query key invalidation.
+
+```typescript
+// Source: [VERIFIED: adapted from src/client/hooks/useAdminGlobalItems.ts]
+
+export interface AdminTag {
+  id: number;
+  name: string;
+  parentId: number | null;
+  itemCount: number;
+}
+
+export function useAdminTags() {
+  return useQuery({
+    queryKey: ["admin-tags"],
+    queryFn: () => apiGet<AdminTag[]>("/api/admin/tags"),
+  });
+}
+
+export function useCreateAdminTag() {
+  const queryClient = useQueryClient();
+  return useMutation({
+    mutationFn: (data: { name: string; parentId?: number | null }) =>
+      apiPost<AdminTag>("/api/admin/tags", data),
+    onSuccess: () => {
+      queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ["admin-tags"] });
+      queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ["tags"] }); // invalidate public cache too
+    },
+  });
+}
+
+export function useUpdateAdminTag() { ... }
+export function useDeleteAdminTag() { ... }
+```
+
+### Anti-Patterns to Avoid
+
+- **Recursive SQL CTE for tree traversal:** Unnecessary complexity for a small tag set. Fetch flat, build tree in JS.
+- **Storing tree structure as nested JSON:** The `parentId` column is the canonical representation. Never denormalize.
+- **Cycle detection only on the client:** The client filter is UX convenience only. The server MUST validate independently.
+- **Infinite loop in `buildTree` if existing cycle in data:** Guard with a `visited` set in the ancestor walk.
+- **Forgetting to invalidate `["tags"]` query key on mutations:** The public `useTags` hook and admin `useAdminTags` share the same underlying data but different query keys — both must be invalidated on create/update/delete.
+
+---
+
+## Don't Hand-Roll
+
+| Problem | Don't Build | Use Instead | Why |
+|---------|-------------|-------------|-----|
+| Request body validation | Manual type checks | Zod + `@hono/zod-validator` | Already in project; handles error responses automatically |
+| Admin auth guard | Inline `isAdmin` checks per route | `requireAdmin` middleware (already exists) | `src/server/middleware/auth.ts` — one line: `app.use("/*", requireAuth, requireAdmin)` |
+| Server state / cache | `useState` + `useEffect` + `fetch` | TanStack React Query | Already in project; mutations auto-invalidate |
+| Delete confirmation modal | Custom overlay | Inline modal pattern from `items.$itemId.tsx` | Copy the fixed-inset-0 dialog pattern — 30 lines, zero deps |
+
+**Key insight:** This phase has no new external dependencies. The entire implementation is wiring existing infrastructure with new data.
+
+---
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+### Pitfall 1: Self-Referential FK Forward Reference in Drizzle
+
+**What goes wrong:** Writing `references(() => tags.id)` where `tags` is the table being defined causes a TypeScript/runtime error if the variable isn't yet in scope.
+
+**Why it happens:** The table definition references itself before the `const tags = ...` assignment completes.
+
+**How to avoid:** Drizzle handles this correctly when using a lambda `() => tags.id` — it defers the reference lookup. Confirmed by the `globalItemTags` FK pattern already in the codebase (`references(() => tags.id, { onDelete: "cascade" })`). The self-referential case works the same way. [VERIFIED: codebase at `globalItemTags.tagId`]
+
+**Warning signs:** TypeScript complains about `tags` being used before assignment — only occurs if you use a direct reference `tags.id` instead of a lambda.
+
+### Pitfall 2: Orphan Display After Parent Deletion
+
+**What goes wrong:** A tag's `parentId` points to a deleted parent. The tree builder crashes or silently omits the orphaned tag.
+
+**Why it happens:** `ON DELETE SET NULL` runs at DB level, but there's a window in tests or seed data where orphans could be created manually.
+
+**How to avoid:** In `buildTree`, when a node's `parentId` is non-null but no matching parent is found in the map, treat the node as a root (already shown in the Pattern 5 code above).
+
+**Warning signs:** Tags disappearing from the list after a parent deletion.
+
+### Pitfall 3: Parent Picker Shows Tag's Own Descendants (Client Side)
+
+**What goes wrong:** An admin selects a child tag as the parent of its ancestor, creating a cycle.
+
+**Why it happens:** Parent picker renders all tags without filtering.
+
+**How to avoid:** The parent picker on the edit page must exclude: (1) the tag itself, (2) all its descendants. Compute the descendant set client-side from the full tag list. The server provides the safety net (D-11).
+
+**Warning signs:** 400 errors from the server on PUT requests with `{ error: "Cycle detected" }`.
+
+### Pitfall 4: Missing `["tags"]` Query Invalidation
+
+**What goes wrong:** The admin creates/renames/deletes a tag, but the public `useTags()` hook (used in the admin items filter chips) still shows stale data.
+
+**Why it happens:** `useAdminTags` and `useTags` use different query keys (`["admin-tags"]` vs `["tags"]`). Invalidating only `["admin-tags"]` leaves the public cache stale.
+
+**How to avoid:** All mutations in `useAdminTags.ts` must invalidate both `["admin-tags"]` and `["tags"]`.
+
+### Pitfall 5: TanStack Router Route Tree Not Regenerated
+
+**What goes wrong:** New route files `admin/tags.tsx` and `admin/tags.$tagId.tsx` are created but the auto-generated `routeTree.gen.ts` is not updated, causing 404s or build errors.
+
+**Why it happens:** The route tree is auto-generated by Vite during `bun run dev` or `bun run build`. In development the watcher updates it automatically. In CI it must be regenerated.
+
+**How to avoid:** Run `bun run dev` at least once after adding new route files so `routeTree.gen.ts` is regenerated. Never manually edit `routeTree.gen.ts`.
+

+
+## Code Examples
+
+### Registering Admin Tag Routes in admin.ts
+
+```typescript
+// Source: [VERIFIED: src/server/routes/admin.ts pattern]
+import { adminTagRoutes } from "./admin-tags.ts";
+
+// Add after adminItemRoutes registration:
+app.route("/tags", adminTagRoutes);
+```
+
+### Enabling Tags Sidebar Link in admin.tsx
+
+```typescript
+// Source: [VERIFIED: src/client/routes/admin.tsx — replace disabled div]
+
+// Replace:
+<div className="flex items-center gap-2 px-3 py-2 rounded-lg text-sm text-gray-300 cursor-not-allowed" ...>
+
+// With (same structure as Items link above it):
+<Link
+  to="/admin/tags"
+  activeProps={{ className: "bg-gray-100 text-gray-900 font-medium" }}
+  inactiveProps={{ className: "text-gray-600 hover:bg-gray-50" }}
+  className="flex items-center gap-2 px-3 py-2 rounded-lg text-sm transition-colors"
+>
+  <LucideIcon name="tag" size={16} />
+  <span>Tags</span>
+</Link>
+```
+
+### Delete Confirmation Text Logic (D-13/D-14)
+
+```typescript
+// Source: [VERIFIED: adapted from items.$itemId.tsx dialog pattern]
+
+function getDeleteConfirmText(tag: AdminTagDetail): string {
+  const parts: string[] = [];
+  if (tag.itemCount > 0) {
+    parts.push(`${tag.itemCount} ${tag.itemCount === 1 ? "item uses" : "items use"} this tag.`);
+  }
+  if (tag.childCount > 0) {
+    parts.push(`Its ${tag.childCount} child ${tag.childCount === 1 ? "tag" : "tags"} will become top-level.`);
+  }
+  parts.push("This cannot be undone.");
+  return parts.join(" ");
+}
+```

+
+## State of the Art
+
+| Old Approach | Current Approach | When Changed | Impact |
+|--------------|------------------|--------------|--------|
+| Flat tags (id, name only) | Hierarchical tags with `parentId` | Phase 38 | Enables sub-tag taxonomy (e.g. "down" under "sleeping-bag") |
+| Disabled "Tags" sidebar entry | Active link to `/admin/tags` | Phase 38 | Admins can navigate to tag management |
+
+**Deprecated/outdated:**
+- None in this phase — purely additive.
+
+---
+
+## Assumptions Log
+
+| # | Claim | Section | Risk if Wrong |
+|---|-------|---------|---------------|
+| A1 | `buildTree` and `flattenTree` pure JS functions are sufficient (no recursive SQL CTE needed) | Architecture Patterns | Low — tag count is small; even 10,000 tags would be fast in JS |
+| A2 | `childCount` is cheapest computed client-side from the flat array rather than via SQL subquery | Standard Stack | Low — trivially verifiable; a SQL subquery would also work |
+| A3 | `isDescendant` cycle check iterates ancestor chain of `candidateParentId` (not descendants of `tagId`) | Architecture Patterns | Medium — logic must be verified during implementation; wrong direction breaks cycle detection silently |
+| A4 | Drizzle self-referential FK with `onDelete: "set null"` generates correct SQL | Standard Stack | Low — Drizzle docs support this; existing `onDelete: "cascade"` FK in codebase confirms the option syntax |
+
+---
+
+## Open Questions
+
+1. **`childCount` on the single-tag GET endpoint (for edit page delete confirmation)**
+   - What we know: `getAdminTags` (list endpoint) returns all tags; `childCount` is derivable client-side.
+   - What's unclear: For the edit page, we need `childCount` for the specific tag being edited. We can either: (a) compute it client-side from the full `useAdminTags` list, or (b) add a correlated count to `getTagWithCounts`.
+   - Recommendation: Use the full list from `useAdminTags` cache on the edit page as well (React Query keeps it cached). No separate correlated subquery needed.
+
+2. **`parentId` null on quick-add form submission**
+   - What we know: Parent picker is optional (D-07). No parent selected = `parentId: null`.
+   - What's unclear: Zod schema should accept `parentId: z.number().int().positive().nullable().optional()` — ensure `null` and `undefined` both result in DB `NULL`.
+   - Recommendation: Use `.nullable().optional()` and explicitly pass `null` when no parent is selected.

+## Typography
+
+| Role | Size | Weight | Line Height |

+| Label / Display | 11px (text-[11px]) | 600 (semibold) | 1.4 |
+| Heading | 18px (text-lg) | 600 (semibold) | 1.2 |
+
+Source: `src/client/routes/admin/items.tsx` — `text-lg font-semibold text-gray-900`, `text-xs font-semibold text-gray-400 uppercase tracking-wide`, `text-sm`.
+
+Label/Display role = field labels and table column headers (uppercase, tracked, muted gray-400). Set to 11px (`text-[11px]`) to establish a clear 3px hierarchy gap above 14px body. Previously 12px — adjusted to resolve weak hierarchy flag.
+
+Three sizes in use: 11px (label/display) · 14px (body) · 18px (heading). Two weights: 400 (regular) · 600 (semibold).
+
+---
+
+## Color
+
+| Role | Value | Usage |
+|------|-------|-------|
+| Dominant (60%) | `#f9fafb` (gray-50) | Main content area background (`bg-gray-50`) |
+| Secondary (30%) | `#ffffff` (white) | Cards, sidebar, modal dialogs, form containers (`bg-white`) |
+| Accent (10%) | `#2563eb` (blue-600) | Primary save/submit buttons, active input ring |
+| Destructive | `#dc2626` (red-600) | Delete button background, delete confirmation button only |
+
+Accent reserved for:
+- "Save Changes" / "Add Tag" primary submit button (`bg-blue-600 hover:bg-blue-700 text-white`)
+- Input focus ring (`focus:ring-2 focus:ring-blue-500/20 focus:border-blue-300`)
+- Active tag filter chip in existing items list (`bg-blue-50 text-blue-600 border border-blue-200`)
+
+Destructive reserved for:
+- Delete button on edit page (`border-red-200 text-red-600 hover:bg-red-50`)
+- Confirm delete button inside modal (`bg-red-600 hover:bg-red-700 text-white`)
+
+All other interactive elements (back links, chevron toggles, row hovers) use gray-scale only.
+
+Source: `src/client/routes/admin/items.$itemId.tsx` — extracted exact Tailwind classes.
+
+---
+
+## Focal Point
+
+**List page primary visual anchor: the tag tree view.**
+
+The collapsible `TagTreeView` card is the dominant element on the list page. It occupies the main content column and carries all primary interactions (expand/collapse, row-level edit navigation). The `TagQuickAddForm` is positioned above the tree as a supporting action — it is intentionally compact (`flex items-center gap-3`) to avoid competing with the tree for attention.
+
+Visual hierarchy enforcement:
+- Tree card: `rounded-xl border border-gray-100 bg-white` — elevated white surface drawing the eye.
+- Quick-add form: no card wrapper, sits flush in the page background (`bg-gray-50`), visually subordinate.
+
+**Edit page primary visual anchor: the tag name input field.**
+
+On the edit page the name field is the first and most prominent form element. The parent picker and action buttons are secondary.

+- Item count: `text-sm text-gray-400` — e.g. "12 items" or "0 items".
+- Edit action: `text-xs text-gray-400 hover:text-gray-600` link-style button → navigates to `/admin/tags/$tagId`.
+- Row height: `py-2.5` (10px top/bottom) giving ~36px per row.
+
+### Tree Expand/Collapse
+
+- State: local `useState<Set<number>>` of expanded tag IDs. All parent IDs populated on mount (start expanded per D-03).
+- Toggle: clicking chevron button calls `toggle(tagId)` — no row-click collapse (chevron-only per Claude's discretion).
+- Hidden children: `display: none` equivalent — conditionally render child rows when parent ID is in expanded set.
+
+### Search / Filter Behavior (D-05)
+
+- Non-matching leaf rows: not rendered.
+- Parent rows with matching children: rendered even if parent name does not match.
+- Parent rows whose name matches: rendered with all their children visible (show context).
+- Search input: `w-64 rounded-lg border border-gray-200 px-3 py-2 text-sm` — identical to items list.
+
+---
+
+## Quick-Add Form Spec (D-07)
+
+Position: above the tree view card, below the page header.
+
+```
+[ Name input (flex-1) ]  [ Parent picker (w-48) ]  [ Add Tag button ]
+```
+
+- Name input: `inputClass` styling, placeholder "Tag name...".
+- Parent picker: native `<select>` with `inputClass` styling, `appearance-none bg-white`, options = flat list of all tags (no descendants filter needed at create time since new tag has no children yet). First option: `<option value="">No parent (top-level)</option>`.
+- "Add Tag" button: `px-4 py-2 rounded-lg bg-blue-600 hover:bg-blue-700 text-white text-sm font-medium` — same as "Save Changes" pattern.
+- Form layout: `flex items-center gap-3 mb-4`.
+- On submit success: clear name input, reset parent to empty, show no toast (tree updates via React Query invalidation).
+- On submit error: inline error text below form, `text-sm text-red-500`.
+
+---
+
+## Edit Page Spec (D-08, D-09)
+
+Route: `/admin/tags/$tagId`
+
+Layout: `max-w-2xl mx-auto` — matches items edit page.
+
+Sections:
+1. Back link: `← Tags` (same style as `← Items` in phase 37)
+2. Page heading: tag name as `text-lg font-semibold text-gray-900` + item count as `text-sm text-gray-400`
+3. Form fields:
+   - Name: text input with `labelClass` + `inputClass`
+   - Parent: searchable `<select>` with `labelClass` + `inputClass`; options exclude the tag itself and all its descendants (cycle prevention per D-11)
+4. Actions row: `flex items-center justify-between mt-8 pt-6 border-t border-gray-100`
+   - Left: "Delete Tag" destructive button
+   - Right: "Save Changes" primary button
+
+Parent picker "no parent" option label: "No parent (top-level)" as first `<option value="">`.

+**Verified:** 2026-04-19
+**Status:** human_needed
+**Re-verification:** No — initial verification
+
+## Goal Achievement
+
+### Observable Truths
+
+| # | Truth | Status | Evidence |
+|---|-------|--------|----------|
+| 1 | GET /api/admin/tags returns all tags with parentId and itemCount | VERIFIED | `getAdminTags` queries tags + LEFT JOIN globalItemTags, groups by id/name/parentId; route handler at GET / returns `c.json(result)` |
+| 2 | POST /api/admin/tags creates a tag with name and optional parentId | VERIFIED | Route uses `zValidator("json", createTagSchema)`, calls `createTag(db, data)`, returns 201 |
+| 3 | PUT /api/admin/tags/:id renames a tag and/or changes its parentId | VERIFIED | Route calls `updateTag(db, id, data)` which updates name and/or parentId via Drizzle `.update().set()` |
+| 4 | PUT /api/admin/tags/:id returns 400 when setting a descendant as parent | VERIFIED | `isDescendant` walks ancestor chain; `updateTag` throws "Cycle detected..."; route catches and returns `c.json({ error: err.message }, 400)` |
+| 5 | DELETE /api/admin/tags/:id removes a tag and orphans its children | VERIFIED | `deleteTag` deletes by id; schema has `onDelete: "set null"` on `parentId` FK; route returns `{ success: true }` |
+| 6 | Admin can see all tags in a collapsible tree view with indent levels, item counts, and expand/collapse chevrons | VERIFIED (code) / ? HUMAN (runtime) | `buildTree`, `flattenTree`, `filterTree` implemented; chevron toggles present; `expanded` Set initialized from parent IDs via useEffect |
+| 7 | Admin can create a new tag via the quick-add form at the top of the list with optional parent | VERIFIED (code) / ? HUMAN (runtime) | Form with name input + parent select + "Add Tag" button exists; calls `createMutation.mutateAsync` on submit; clears form on success |
+| 8 | Admin can search/filter tags in the tree view | VERIFIED (code) / ? HUMAN (runtime) | `filterTree` recursively preserves parents when children match; search input drives `searchQuery` state; applied to tree before flatten |
+| 9 | Admin can click a tag row to navigate to its edit page | VERIFIED | Row `onClick` calls `navigate({ to: "/admin/tags/$tagId", params: { tagId: String(node.id) } })` |
+| 10 | Admin can rename a tag and change its parent on the edit page | VERIFIED (code) / ? HUMAN (runtime) | Edit page form with name input + parent select, `handleSave` calls `useUpdateAdminTag`; `parentOptions` excludes self + all descendants |
+| 11 | Admin can delete a tag from the edit page with an impact-aware confirmation dialog | VERIFIED (code) / ? HUMAN (runtime) | `getDeleteConfirmText` builds message with item count + child count; confirmation modal renders conditionally on `showDeleteConfirm` |
+| 12 | Tags sidebar link in admin panel is active and navigable | VERIFIED | `admin.tsx` contains `<Link to="/admin/tags" ...>` with activeProps/inactiveProps; no `cursor-not-allowed` or "Coming in a future release" present |
+
+**Score:** 12/12 truths verified in code (6 require human confirmation of runtime behavior)

+
+### Human Verification Required
+
+The backend is fully verified programmatically (27 tests passing). The client code is structurally correct and wired, but the following runtime behaviors require a human to confirm in a live browser:
+
+#### 1. Collapsible tree expand/collapse
+
+**Test:** Navigate to `/admin/tags`. Create a parent tag (e.g. "gear") and a child tag (e.g. "clothing" under "gear"). Observe the tree. Click the chevron on "gear".
+**Expected:** "clothing" disappears. Click the chevron again — "clothing" reappears. On initial load, all parents start expanded.
+**Why human:** `expanded` Set is initialized by a `useEffect` that runs after data loads; toggling is stateful. Cannot verify expand/collapse rendering without a live component.
+
+#### 2. Search/filter — parents preserved when children match
+
+**Test:** With the tree above, type "clothing" in the search box.
+**Expected:** Both the "gear" parent row and the "clothing" child row remain visible. Unrelated tags disappear.
+**Why human:** `filterTree` preserves parents of matching descendants, but the rendered output of the filtered + flattened tree needs visual confirmation.
+
+#### 3. Quick-add form — create tag with optional parent
+
+**Test:** In the quick-add form, type "down" as the name and select "gear" as the parent. Click "Add Tag".
+**Expected:** The form clears, and "down" appears in the tree indented under "gear". The tag count in the header increments.
+**Why human:** Mutation + cache invalidation refresh flow requires a running app.
+
+#### 4. Edit page — rename and cycle-safe reparent
+
+**Test:** Click on a tag to open its edit page. Change the name and click "Save Changes" — name updates. Then: create tags A (no parent), B (parent: A), C (parent: B). Open A's edit page and observe the parent picker.
+**Expected:** The parent picker does NOT show B or C (descendants are excluded). Saving a rename updates the displayed name.
+**Why human:** `getDescendantIds` client-side filtering of parentOptions and mutation round-trip require a live browser.
+
+#### 5. Delete confirmation — impact-aware text
+
+**Test (items warning):** Find or create a tag used by at least one item. On its edit page, click "Delete Tag".
+**Expected:** Confirmation modal reads "{N} item(s) use this tag. This cannot be undone."
+
+**Test (children warning):** Find or create a parent tag. Click "Delete Tag".
+**Expected:** Confirmation modal reads "Its {N} child tag(s) will become top-level. This cannot be undone."
+
+**Test (empty tag):** Create a tag with no items or children. Click "Delete Tag".
+**Expected:** Confirmation modal reads only "This cannot be undone."
+**Why human:** `getDeleteConfirmText` logic is correct in code but conditional rendering of the modal text needs visual verification.
+
+#### 6. Tags sidebar link active in admin panel
+
+**Test:** Navigate to `/admin`. Observe the sidebar.
+**Expected:** "Tags" link is present without a "Soon" badge and is clickable. Navigating to `/admin/tags` applies the active highlight style.
+**Why human:** TanStack Router's `activeProps` activation is runtime behavior.
+
+### Gaps Summary
+
+No code gaps. All artifacts exist, are substantive, are wired, and have real data flowing through them. All 27 backend tests pass. The 6 human verification items are behavioral/visual runtime checks that the automated scan cannot perform.
