 ## 📝 Development History (Consolidated)
 
+### Config & Stability Sprint (2026-01-14)
+- **Standardization:** Refactored Module, Journal, and Entry modals into a unified "Config" pattern with consistent iconography (Wrench/Gear/Zap).
+- **Auto-Save:** Implemented background persistence for Status & Security fields using non-blocking API calls.
+- **Payload Hardening:** Established a strict whitelisting pattern for update payloads to eliminate HTTP 400 "Unknown column" errors.
+- **UX Refinement:** Replaced complex Journal menus with a streamlined "Config" button and dedicated "Quick Actions" tabs.
+
 ### Journals Module Refactor (2026-01-08)
 - **Modularization:** Extracted `JournalEntry_AITools` and `JournalEntry_Metadata` from the 3000+ line main view.

+- [x] **Config Interface Standardization:** Completed the refactor of Module, Journal, and Entry configuration modals using the unified "Config" naming and standardized icons (Wrench, Gear, Zap).
+- [x] **Auto-Save & Stability:** Implemented background auto-saving for Status & Security fields. Resolved critical HTTP 400 schema errors via strict payload whitelisting.
 - [x] **Journal Entry Refactor:** Modularized the monolithic `ae_comp__journal_entry_obj_id_view.svelte` into `JournalEntry_Header` (w/ Settings) and `JournalEntry_Editor` components (~1000 lines reduced).
 - [x] **Unified Type Migration (Phase 1-3):** Established `src/lib/types/ae_types.ts` and migrated Account, Site, SiteDomain, Person, JournalEntry, Event, EventBadge, User, Address, Contact, and ActivityLog.
 - [x] **API Robustness:** Refactored all core helpers (`get`, `post`, `patch`, `delete`) for SvelteKit SSR parity and resolved the Bootstrap Paradox.
