 - [x] Implement Auto-Save toggle and visual status indicators.
 - [x] Extract decryption workflow to non-reactive helper.
 - [x] **Standardize Configuration Modals:** Refactored Module, Journal, and Entry configuration into a unified tabbed UI.
+- [x] **Journal Entry Config cleanup:** Summary now lives in Metadata; Alert lives in its own Alerts & Messaging section; Privacy Flags is visibility-only; Admin controls are split out and gated to trusted-access and above.
+- [x] **Shared Flags widget:** `AE_Object_Flags` now shows visible button text and hover titles instead of icon-only controls.
+- [x] **Modal sizing:** Entry config modal now expands to viewport height instead of stopping at a fixed 60vh body cap.
+- [x] **Delete/Remove behavior:** Entry config Admin section now uses the real delete helper. Managers/admins see Delete (hard delete); trusted access sees Remove (disable semantics).
 - [x] **RESOLVED:** Decryption workflow stability (Fixed via dependency isolation).
 - [x] **Style Standardization (2026-03-06):** Full Skeleton v4 `preset-*` class pass across all 17 journal components. See style token table in Lessons Learned below.
 - [x] **Dark mode fixes:** Entry content hover, journal view section/description background and text colors.

 *   **Close button:** Always use `dismissable={false}` on the `<Modal>` and add an explicit `<button>` with `<X>` inside the `{#snippet header()}` so placement is fully in our control. The `flex-1` class on the `<h3>` pushes it right.
 *   **Tabs:** Center-aligned `btn btn-sm` with `preset-filled-primary` (active) / `preset-tonal-surface` (inactive).
 *   **Icons:** Every tab and primary action should have a Lucide icon for better scannability.
+*   **Button titles:** Any button that uses icon+text or icon-only must include a descriptive `title` for hover clarity.
 *   **Explicit Persistence:** Follow "Edit working copy → Save Changes" pattern to prevent accidental store/API churn.

 *   **The Problem:** Using `JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(proxy))` can sometimes trigger unexpected behavior or loops when used inside a reactive context.
 *   **The Fix:** Implement a manual `deep_copy` helper or selective property assignment when syncing "Original" vs "Temporary" state. This ensures `orig_entry_obj` is a plain JS object, making the `has_unsaved_changes` check stable.
 
+### 5. Journal Entry Config Layout Notes
+The Entry Config modal now follows a stricter section grammar:
+* `Metadata` contains category, tags, summary, and archive date.
+* `Status & Security` contains enabled/hidden/priority/sort.
+* `Privacy Flags` contains only visibility/audience toggles.
+* `Alerts & Messaging` contains alert flag + alert message.
+* `Admin` is gated to trusted access and above, and is the only place for notes plus delete/remove actions.

 ### 3. Concurrency Locking (`is_processing`)
 *   **The Problem:** Decryption (Async) and Auto-Save (Debounced Async) can fire nearly simultaneously.
 *   **The Fix:** Use a simple `is_processing` boolean flag. If any async workflow is active, block others from starting and prevent the `has_unsaved_changes` derived rune from reporting `true`.
