TODO

Uniform font size

Get actual text measurements of output card values and render all cards in a group at a uniform font size. JS must be minimal — no heavy layout libraries. The requirement is real uniformity based on measurements, not "close enough."

Custom dropdown (typeahead fix)

Native <select> accumulates keystrokes into a browser-managed search string. Switching letters requires backspace to clear the accumulated string first. Fix requires replacing the native select with a custom dropdown component that handles keyboard search with a clean reset-on-idle timer.

Auto-generated IDs in admin forms (new units/groups)

When the ID field is empty (or has only been auto-filled, not manually typed):

• Auto-fill priority: kebab(symbol) first, then kebab(label) if symbol is empty or a duplicate
• If symbol is typed first, symbol drives the ID. If label is typed first and symbol is empty, label drives the ID. If symbol is later typed, it overrides the label-derived ID.
• Auto-filled ID shown in a visually distinct style (e.g. washed-out color) to indicate it has not been customized by the user.
• If auto-filled ID is a duplicate, fall back to the other field. If both are duplicates, block save and show an error until a unique ID is manually entered.
• If the user types anything directly into the ID field, auto-generation is permanently disabled for that edit session (manual input wins).
• User cannot navigate away (except via Cancel/Escape) while ID is empty or duplicate.
