## Live notes (free-form)

Add anything you want to remember as we go.

- The existing `.ha-*` (Harvest Almanac) class system is good. Build on it; don't replace it.
- The sidebar is in `src/components/admin/AdminSidebar.tsx` (~520 lines). Don't rewrite from scratch — refactor the data structure to groups and let the JSX mostly stand.
- `lucide-react` is already a dependency. New icons should use lucide, not inline SVGs.
- The `Atelier des Récoltes` CSS classes (`.atelier-*` in `globals.css`) are public-side only. Don't mix them into admin.
- Per MEMORY.md: spawn sub-agents sequentially if TPM rate limit hits. If parallel works, fine; if not, fall back.
