 - **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.
+- **Code Style**: Follow PEP 8 for Python, and standard TypeScript conventions. Use type annotations everywhere in Python. Place python changes after imports. Place all imports at the top of the file.

 ## 🛠️ Developer Workflows
 
 - **Backend**: Run Flask with `python -m flask run --host=0.0.0.0 --port=5000` from the `backend/` directory. Main entry: `backend/main.py`.
+- **Virtual Env**: Python is running from a virtual environment located at `backend/.venv/`.
 - **Frontend**: From `frontend/vue-app/`, run `npm install` then `npm run dev`.
 - **Tests**: Run backend tests with `pytest` in `backend/tests/`. Frontend component tests: `npm run test` in `frontend/vue-app/components/__tests__/`.
 - **Debugging**: Use VS Code launch configs or run Flask/Vue dev servers directly. For SSE, use browser dev tools to inspect event streams.

+# Bug: When a user task or reward exists with the same name as a system user or task, both are shown in the assign list.
+
+## The Problem
+
+- **Actual:** When the user creates a task/reward from a system task/reward (copy on edit), and then goes to assign the task/reward, both the system and user task/reward are shown and can be assigned.
+- **Expected:** When a user task/reward is created from a system (or even if it has the same name) - show the user item instead in the assign views.
+
+## Investigation Notes
+
+- When a copy on edit happens of a 'good' task and it is changed to 'bad', I can see the 'good' task when assigning tasks and the 'bad' penalty when assigning the penalty
+- The backend will have to change to probably check if the names are the same on tasks/rewards and if so, choose to return the user items instead.
+- In the case of two items having the same name AND having different user_ids that are not null, then we should show both items.
+- The task view and reward view correctly hides the system item. However, the Task Assign View and RewardAssignView are still showing both items.
+
+## The "Red" Tests
+
+ - [x] Create a test that performs a copy on edit and then makes sure only that item shows instead of the system item
+ - [x] Create a test that performs has 2 user items with the same name as a system item. Verify that the user items are shown, but not the system item.
+ - [x] Create a test where if a system and identically named user task exist that the user tasks is the only one shown in the task assign view and reward assign view.
