 ## 1. Project Overview
 This document outlines the modernization of the Journals module UI in the SvelteKit frontend (`aether_app_sveltekit`). The primary goals are to fully leverage the generic V3 API architecture and introduce high-velocity productivity features for journal management.
 
-**Context:** The backend transition to the generic `api_crud_v3` router is complete. Custom legacy routers have been removed. The frontend must now fully align with this pattern and provide a frictionless user experience.
