Deviations from Plan

Auto-fixed Issues

1. [Rule 1 - Bug] Fixed pre-existing formatting in uiStore.ts and collection/index.tsx

• Found during: Task 1 and Task 2
• Issue: Files used spaces instead of tabs (Biome formatter violation)
• Fix: Auto-formatted with biome
• Files modified: src/client/stores/uiStore.ts, src/client/routes/collection/index.tsx
• Committed in: eb79ab6, d05aac0

2. [Rule 2 - Missing Critical] Added aria-hidden to decorative SVG icons

• Found during: Task 2
• Issue: SVG plus icons in buttons had no accessibility attributes (biome a11y lint error)
• Fix: Added aria-hidden="true" to all decorative SVG icons
• Files modified: src/client/routes/collection/index.tsx
• Committed in: d05aac0

---

Total deviations: 2 auto-fixed (1 formatting, 1 a11y) Impact on plan: Necessary fixes for lint compliance. No scope creep.
