 ## High Priority (Active Task)
 
-1.  **Button Standardization & Security Cleanup:**
+1.  **Svelte 5 Compiler Error Cleanup (68/68 Resolved):**
+    - [x] Fixed prop synchronization warnings in 65+ components using `untrack` and `$derived`.
+    - [x] Resolved strict TypeScript errors in all core routing pages (Accounts, Sites, etc.).
+    - [x] Refactored Event Settings JSON editors to use safe string-buffer pattern.
+    - [x] Fixed Flowbite-Svelte Drawer property mismatches.
+    - [ ] **STALLED (Testing Required):**
+        - [ ] **Smoke Test:** Event Settings JSON/Form Sync & Persistence.
+        - [ ] **Smoke Test:** Breadcrumb Navigation & Upload Component ID Sync.
+        - [ ] **Smoke Test:** Sign Out/In & Storage Clearing Flow.
+
+2.  **Button Standardization & Security Cleanup:**
     - [x] **Journals Module:** Standardized all buttons to `type="button"` or `type="submit"`. (Completed 2026-02-03)
     - [x] **Events Module:** Cleaned up 50+ components, ensuring unique attributes and correct typing. (Completed 2026-02-03)
     - [x] **IDAA Module:** Standardized button behavior across Recovery Meetings, Archives, and Bulletin Board. (Completed 2026-02-03)

 - [x] **Compiler Error Resolution:** Fixed 40+ critical errors including duplicate attributes in multi-line tags and missing `untrack` imports in Svelte 5 effects.
 - [x] **Hosted Files Modernization:** Standardized all download, link, and upload components across the platform.
 
+## Recent Accomplishments (Feb 8, 2026)
+
+- [x] **Zero-Error Compiler State:** Successfully cleared all 68 'svelte-check' errors across the entire application.
+- [x] **Event Settings Hardening:** Refactored complex JSON configuration editors to use a temporary string-buffer pattern, preventing data corruption and resolving multiple TypeScript assignment errors.
+- [x] **Prop Reactivity Pass:** Standardized prop synchronization logic in core components (Sign-In, File Upload, Layout) to adhere to Svelte 5 Runes best practices.
+- [x] **Triple-ID TypeScript Alignment:** Updated 'ae_types.ts' and refined property processing to fully support semantic string IDs across core modules.
+
 ## Recent Accomplishments (Feb 7, 2026)
 
 - [x] **Exhibitor Leads V3 Core Foundations:** Modularized `ae_events__exhibit` and `ae_events__exhibit_tracking` with V3 SWR standards and trace-ready performance logging.
