 ### 2. Architecture & Structure
 - Maintain separation of concerns: UI, data management, and business logic in their respective modules.
 - Use manager classes (e.g., DataManager, UIManager, ThemeManager) for encapsulating related functionality.
 - UI elements and data columns must be generated dynamically based on current medicines/pathologies.
 - New medicines/pathologies should not require changes to main logic—use dynamic lists and keys.
+- Avoid hardcoding values; use configuration files or constants.
+- Adopt a modular project structure following python best practices.
 
 ### 3. Error Handling
 - Use try/except for operations that may fail (file I/O, data parsing).
@@ -68,16 +68,21 @@ applyTo: '**'
 ### 8. Performance
 - Use efficient methods for updating UI elements (e.g., batch delete/insert for Treeview).
 - Avoid unnecessary data reloads or UI refreshes.
+- Use multi-threading when appropriate.
 
 ## When Generating or Reviewing Code
 - Respect the modular structure—add new logic to the appropriate manager or window class.
 - Do not hardcode medicine/pathology names—always use dynamic keys from the managers.
 - Preserve user feedback (status bar, dialogs) for all actions.
 - Maintain keyboard shortcut support for new features.
+- Code Refactoring is allowed as long as it does not change the external behavior of the code.
 - Ensure compatibility with the existing UI and data model.
 - Write clear, concise, and maintainable code with proper type hints and docstrings.
+- Avoid using deprecated imports or patterns.
+- Remove any warnings or deprecation notices from the codebase.
+- Replace legacy code.

 **Summary:**
-This project is a modular, extensible Tkinter application for tracking medication and pathology data. Code should be clean, dynamic, user-friendly, and robust, following PEP8 and the architectural patterns already established. All new features or changes should integrate seamlessly with the existing managers and UI paradigms.

-
-```bash
-cd /home/will/Code/thechart
-.venv/bin/python scripts/test_menu_theming.py
-```
-
-## Usage
-
-All scripts should be run from the project root directory using the virtual environment:
-
-```bash
-cd /home/will/Code/thechart
-source .venv/bin/activate.fish  # For fish shell
-# OR
-source .venv/bin/activate       # For bash/zsh
-
-python scripts/<script_name>.py
-```
-
-## Test Organization
-
-### Unit Tests
-Located in `/tests/` directory:
-- `test_theme_manager.py` - Theme manager functionality tests
-- `test_data_manager.py` - Data management tests
-- `test_ui_manager.py` - UI component tests
-- `test_graph_manager.py` - Graph functionality tests
-- And more...
-
-Run unit tests with:
-```bash
-cd /home/will/Code/thechart
-.venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/
-```
-
-### Integration Tests
-Located in `/scripts/` directory:
-- `integration_test.py` - Export system integration test
-- Feature-specific test scripts
-
-### Interactive Demos
-Located in `/scripts/` directory:
-- `test_menu_theming.py` - Menu theming demonstration
-
-## Test Data
-
-- Integration tests create temporary export files in `integration_test_exports/` (auto-cleaned)
-- Test scripts use the main `thechart_data.csv` file unless specified otherwise
-- No test data is committed to the repository
-
-## Development
-
-When adding new scripts:
-1. Place them in this directory
-2. Use the standard shebang: `#!/usr/bin/env python3`
-3. Add proper docstrings and error handling
-4. Update this README with script documentation
-5. Follow the project's linting and formatting standards
-6. For unit tests, place them in `/tests/` directory
-7. For integration tests or demos, place them in `/scripts/` directory
