Expanded Recovery Meeting sort options and refined development SOP.

Implemented 'Meeting Name (A-Z)' and 'Meeting Name (Z-A)' sorting for Recovery Meetings, including UI dropdown updates and client-side re-sorting logic.

Updated documentation/GUIDE__DEVELOPMENT.md to v1.1 with clarified verification steps and inter-agent coordination protocols.

Minor label cleanup in Journal editor.

 1. **Svelte Integrity:** `npx svelte-check`
 2. **Type Safety:** Ensure interfaces in `src/lib/types/ae_types.ts` match backend schemas.
 3. **Reactivity Check:** Verify Svelte 5 runes (`$state`, `$derived`) are not creating race conditions with Dexie `liveQuery`.
-4. **Build Check:** For major changes, run `npm run build` to ensure no SSR or build-time failures.

 ## 2. 📝 Commit & Sync Policy
 - **Atomic Commits:** One component or one logic fix per commit. Do not batch unrelated changes.

 ## 🧠 Continuity
 Before starting work:
 1. Read `~/agents_sync/README.md` to understand the fleet status and cross-agent tasks.
 2. Check `README.md` in the project root for technical specs.
 3. Review your local `documentation/AGENT_TODO.md` for active tasks.
+4. Be sure to describe the plan before you start making code changes to one or more files.
