 - **Database**: Use TinyDB with `from_dict()`/`to_dict()` for serialization. All logic should operate on model instances, not raw dicts.
 - **Events**: Real-time updates via Server-Sent Events (SSE). Every mutation (add/edit/delete/trigger) must call `send_event_for_current_user` (see `backend/events/`).

 - **Scoped Styles**: All `.vue` files must use `<style scoped>`. Reference global variables for theme consistency.
 - **API Error Handling**: Backend returns JSON with `error` and `code` (see `backend/api/error_codes.py`). Frontend extracts `{ msg, code }` using `parseErrorResponse(res)` from `api.ts`.
 - **JWT Auth**: Tokens are stored in HttpOnly, Secure, SameSite=Strict cookies.

 ## UI Acceptance Criteria (The "Definition of Done")
 
-- [ ] UI: Swap the "Parent" button with the user's avatar image.
-- [ ] UI: Refactor #LoginButton.vue to use new CSS generated from #mockup.png
-- [ ] Logic: Make sure the dropdown does not show when in child mode.
-- [ ] Logic: Make sure the parent PIN modal shows when the button is pressed in child mode.
-- [ ] Logic: Make sure the parent PIN creation view shows when the button is pressed in child mode if no user.pin doesn't exist or is empty.
-- [ ] Frontend Tests: Add vitest for this feature in the frontend to make sure the logic for button clicking in parent mode and child mode act correctly.
-  1. [ ] Avatar button renders image, initial, or ? as fallback
-  2. [ ] Dropdown opens/closes via click, Enter, Space, Esc, and outside click.
-  3. [ ] Dropdown is positioned and animated correctly.
-  4. [ ] Keyboard navigation (Up/Down, Enter, Space, Esc) works as specified.
-  5. [ ] ARIA attributes and roles are set correctly.
-  6. [ ] Focus ring is visible and uses theme color.
-  7. [ ] Avatar button meets size and position requirements on all devices.
-  8. [ ] Menu logic for parent/child mode is correct.
-  9. [ ] Stub icons are rendered for menu items.
