Instructions for AI Assistant

When helping with this project:

1. **File Operations**: Always update all references when renaming or moving files (scripts, markdown, HTML)

2. **New Features**: Follow existing patterns - check similar implementations before creating new code

3. **API Changes**: When modifying `admin_server.py`, ensure frontend `admin_panel.js` is updated accordingly

4. **Storybooks**: Use `template_storybook/` as reference for creating new storybooks

5. **Image Handling**: Remember uploads are auto-normalized to 1024px height

6. **Security**: When implementing admin features, check for `LS_ADMIN_TOKEN` validation

7. **Dependencies**: Keep minimal - only add if absolutely necessary and update `requirements.txt`

8. **Documentation**: Update README files when adding new features or changing conventions

9. **Commit Messages**: Review recent commits for context on naming changes and refactors

10. **Questions**: If patterns are unclear, reference project documentation or ask for clarification before proceeding
