Files Created/Modified

• frontend/src/lib/api.ts - Added QuickAddItem interface and quickAdd API namespace
• frontend/src/hooks/useQuickAdd.ts - New hook with CRUD, follows useTemplate pattern
• frontend/src/pages/QuickAddPage.tsx - Management page with add form, inline edit table, EmptyState
• frontend/src/components/QuickAddPicker.tsx - Dropdown picker with find-or-create category logic
• frontend/src/components/AppLayout.tsx - Added Zap nav item for /quick-add
• frontend/src/App.tsx - Added /quick-add route with QuickAddPage import
• frontend/src/i18n/en.json - Added nav.quickAdd and full quickAdd namespace
• frontend/src/i18n/de.json - Added nav.quickAdd and full quickAdd namespace (German)
• frontend/src/pages/DashboardPage.tsx - Added QuickAddPicker to toolbar when budget selected

Decisions Made

• DropdownMenu instead of Popover: Popover is not in the project's shadcn/ui component set. DropdownMenu provides equivalent open/close behavior with trigger button.
• Find-or-create category in picker: category_id is NOT NULL in budget_items. Picker resolves by doing case-insensitive name match against existing categories, creating a variable_expense category if no match found.
• Direct API call in picker (not hook): QuickAddPicker is a lightweight transient component — fetches on mount with local state, no need for full CRUD hook.

Deviations from Plan

Auto-fixed Issues

1. [Rule 3 - Blocking] Used DropdownMenu instead of Popover for picker

• Found during: Task 2
• Issue: Plan specified Popover from shadcn/ui, but Popover is not in the project's component set
• Fix: Used DropdownMenu which provides equivalent trigger/content/close behavior
• Files modified: frontend/src/components/QuickAddPicker.tsx
• Commit: 8238e07
