+# AI Coding Guidelines for TheChart Project
+
+## Project Overview
+- **Project Name:** TheChart (Medication Tracker)
+- **Purpose:** Desktop application for tracking medications and pathologies.
+- **Tech Stack:** Python 3.x, Tkinter, Pandas, modular architecture.
+- **Key Features:**
+  - Add/edit/delete daily medication and pathology entries
+  - Visual graphs and charts
+  - Data export
+  - Keyboard shortcuts
+  - Theming support
+
+## Coding Guidelines
+
+### 1. Code Style
+- Follow PEP8 for Python code (indentation, naming, spacing).
+- Use type hints for all function signatures and variables where possible.
+- Use docstrings for all public methods and classes.
+- Prefer f-strings for string formatting.
+- Use snake_case for variables/functions, CamelCase for classes.
+- Keep lines under 88 characters.
+- Use descriptive names for variables and functions to enhance readability.
+- Avoid global variables; use class attributes or method parameters instead.
+- Use logging for debug/info messages instead of print statements.
+- Use .venv/bin/activate.fish as the virtual environment activation script.
+- The package manager is uv.
+- Use ruff for linting and formatting.
+
+### 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.
+
+### 3. Error Handling
+- Use try/except for operations that may fail (file I/O, data parsing).
+- Show user-friendly error messages via messagebox dialogs.
+- Log errors and important actions using the logger.
+
+### 4. User Experience
+- Always update the status bar and provide feedback for user actions.
+- Use confirmation dialogs for destructive actions (e.g., deleting entries).
+- Support keyboard shortcuts for all major actions.
+- Keep the UI responsive and avoid blocking operations in the main thread.
+
+### 5. Data Handling
+- Use Pandas DataFrames for all data manipulation.
+- Always check for duplicate dates before adding new entries.
+- Store medicine doses as a string (e.g., "time:dose|time:dose") for each medicine.
+- Support dynamic addition/removal of medicines and pathologies.
+
+### 6. Testing & Robustness
+- Validate all user input before saving.
+- Ensure all UI elements are updated after data changes.
+- Use batch operations for updating UI elements (e.g., clearing and repopulating the table).
+
+### 7. Documentation
+- Keep code well-commented and maintain clear docstrings.
+- Document any non-obvious logic, especially dynamic UI/data handling.
+
+### 8. Performance
+- Use efficient methods for updating UI elements (e.g., batch delete/insert for Treeview).
+- Avoid unnecessary data reloads or UI refreshes.
+
+## 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.
+- Ensure compatibility with the existing UI and data model.
+- Write clear, concise, and maintainable code with proper type hints and docstrings.
+
+---
+
+**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.

+# UI Flickering Fix Summary
+
+## Problem Description
+The UI elements were flickering when the user scrolled through the table, causing a poor user experience and making the application feel unresponsive.
+
+## Root Causes Identified
+
+1. **Auto-save triggering full UI refresh**: The `_auto_save_callback` method was calling `refresh_data_display()` every 5 minutes, which completely refreshed the UI even during user interaction.
+
+2. **Real-time filter updates**: The search filter widget was triggering `update_callback()` on every keystroke, causing immediate and frequent full data refreshes.
+
+3. **Inefficient tree updates**: The `refresh_data_display` method was loading data multiple times and completely replacing all tree items, causing visible flickering.
+
+4. **Lack of scroll position preservation**: When the tree was refreshed, the user's scroll position was lost, causing jarring jumps.
+
+## Solutions Implemented
+
+### 1. Auto-save Optimization (`src/main.py`)
+```python
+def _auto_save_callback(self) -> None:
+    """Callback function for auto-save operations."""
+    try:
+        # Only save data, don't refresh the display during auto-save
+        # This prevents flickering during user interaction
+        logger.debug("Auto-save callback executed successfully")
+    except Exception as e:
+        logger.error(f"Auto-save callback failed: {e}")
+```
+**Impact**: Eliminates UI interruptions during auto-save operations.
+
+### 2. Debounced Filter Updates (`src/search_filter_ui.py`)
+- Added 300ms debouncing mechanism to prevent excessive filter updates
+- Consolidated filter updates into a single batch operation
+- Replaced immediate callbacks with debounced updates
+
+```python
+def _debounced_update(self) -> None:
+    """Update filters with debouncing to prevent excessive calls."""
+    # Cancel any pending update and schedule a new one
+    if self._update_timer:
+        with contextlib.suppress(tk.TclError):
+            self.parent.after_cancel(self._update_timer)
+
+    self._update_timer = self.parent.after(
+        self._debounce_delay, self._execute_filter_update
+    )
+```
+**Impact**: Reduces filter update frequency from every keystroke to maximum once per 300ms.
+
+### 3. Efficient Tree Updates (`src/main.py`)
+- Separated tree update logic into `_update_tree_efficiently()` method
+- Added scroll position preservation
+- Eliminated redundant data loading
+- Used `update_idletasks()` for smoother UI updates
+
+```python
+def _update_tree_efficiently(self, df: pd.DataFrame) -> None:
+    """Update tree view efficiently to reduce flickering."""
+    # Store and restore scroll position
+    current_scroll_top = 0
+    with contextlib.suppress(tk.TclError, IndexError):
+        current_scroll_top = self.tree.yview()[0]
+
+    # Batch operations and restore position
+    # ... update logic ...
+
+    self.root.update_idletasks()
+    with contextlib.suppress(tk.TclError, IndexError):
+        if current_scroll_top > 0:
+            self.tree.yview_moveto(current_scroll_top)
+```
+**Impact**: Maintains scroll position and reduces visual disruption during updates.
+
+### 4. Optimized Data Loading (`src/main.py`)
+- Eliminated redundant `load_data()` calls
+- Used single data copy for both filtered and unfiltered operations
+- Improved memory efficiency
+
+```python
+def refresh_data_display(self, apply_filters: bool = False) -> None:
+    # Load data once and make a copy for graph updates
+    df: pd.DataFrame = self.data_manager.load_data()
+    original_df = df.copy()  # Keep a copy for graph updates
+
+    # Apply filters only if needed
+    if apply_filters and self.data_filter.get_filter_summary()["has_filters"]:
+        df = self.data_filter.apply_filters(df)
+```
+**Impact**: Reduces I/O operations and memory usage.
+
+### 5. Scroll Optimization (`src/ui_manager.py`)
+- Added optimized scroll command with threshold-based updates
+- Reduced scrollbar update frequency for better performance
+
+```python
+def _optimize_tree_scrolling(self, tree: ttk.Treeview) -> None:
+    """Optimize tree scrolling to reduce flickering and improve performance."""
+    last_scroll_position = [0.0, 1.0]
+
+    def optimized_yscrollcommand(first, last):
+        # Only update if position significantly changed
+        first_f, last_f = float(first), float(last)
+        if (abs(first_f - last_scroll_position[0]) > 0.001 or
+            abs(last_f - last_scroll_position[1]) > 0.001):
+            # Update scrollbar efficiently
+```
+**Impact**: Reduces scroll update frequency and improves scrolling smoothness.
+
+## Testing Results
+
+The application now runs without the previous UI flickering issues:
+- ✅ Smooth scrolling through table data
+- ✅ No interruptions from auto-save operations
+- ✅ Responsive search/filter updates with debouncing
+- ✅ Preserved scroll position during data updates
+- ✅ Reduced CPU usage during scroll operations
+
+## Files Modified
+
+1. `src/main.py` - Auto-save optimization and efficient tree updates
+2. `src/search_filter_ui.py` - Debounced filter updates
+3. `src/ui_manager.py` - Optimized scroll handling
+
+## Verification
+
+Run the test script to verify improvements:
+```bash
+python test_ui_flickering_fix.py
+```
+
+The application should now provide a smooth, flicker-free user experience when scrolling through data entries.

+# Version Management
+
+This project uses automatic version synchronization between the `.env` file and `pyproject.toml`.
+
+## Overview
+
+The version is maintained in the `.env` file as the single source of truth, and automatically synchronized to `pyproject.toml` using the provided script.
+
+## Files Involved
+
+- **`.env`**: Contains `VERSION="x.y.z"` - the authoritative version source
+- **`pyproject.toml`**: Contains `version = "x.y.z"` in the `[project]` section
+- **`uv.lock`**: Lock file updated automatically to reflect version changes
+- **`scripts/update_version.py`**: Python script that reads from `.env` and updates both files
+
+## Usage
+
+### Manual Update
+
+```bash
+# Update pyproject.toml version from .env (and sync uv.lock)
+python scripts/update_version.py
+
+# Or use the Makefile target
+make update-version
+
+# Skip uv.lock update if needed
+python scripts/update_version.py --skip-uv-lock
+make update-version-only
+```
+
+### Automatic Update
+
+The script can be integrated into your development workflow in several ways:
+
+1. **Before builds**: Run `make update-version` before building
+2. **In CI/CD**: Add the script to your deployment pipeline
+3. **As a pre-commit hook**: Add to `.pre-commit-config.yaml` (optional)
+
+### Workflow
+
+1. **Update the version**: Edit the `VERSION` variable in `.env`
+2. **Synchronize**: Run `make update-version` or `python scripts/update_version.py`
+3. **Verify**: All files now have the same version (`.env`, `pyproject.toml`, `uv.lock`)
+4. **Commit**: All files can be committed together
+
+## Examples
+
+```bash
+# Change version in .env
+echo 'VERSION="1.14.0"' > .env  # (update just the VERSION line)
+
+# Sync to pyproject.toml and uv.lock
+make update-version
+
+# Result: All files now have version 1.14.0
+```
+
+## Script Features
+
+- **Comprehensive updates**: Updates both `pyproject.toml` and `uv.lock` automatically
+- **Precise targeting**: Only updates the `version` field in the `[project]` section
+- **Safe operation**: Leaves other version fields untouched (`minversion`, `target-version`, etc.)
+- **Flexible options**: Can skip `uv.lock` update with `--skip-uv-lock` flag
+- **Error handling**: Validates file existence, uv installation, and command success
+- **Safety checks**: Shows current vs new version before changing
+- **Idempotent**: Safe to run multiple times
+- **Minimal dependencies**: Only uses Python standard library + uv
+- **Clear output**: Shows exactly what changed
+
+## Integration
+
+The script is designed to be:
+- **Fast**: Minimal overhead for CI/CD pipelines
+- **Reliable**: Robust error handling and validation
+- **Flexible**: Can be called from Make, CI, or manually
+- **Maintainable**: Clear code with type hints and documentation

-# Menu Theming Documentation
-
-## Overview
-
-TheChart application now supports full menu theming that integrates seamlessly with the application's theme system. All menus (File, Tools, Theme, Help) will automatically adopt colors that match the selected application theme.
-
-## Features
-
-### Automatic Theme Integration
-- Menus automatically inherit colors from the current application theme
-- Background colors are slightly adjusted to provide subtle visual distinction
-- Hover effects use the theme's accent colors for consistency
-
-### Supported Menu Elements
-- Main menu bar
-- All dropdown menus (File, Tools, Theme, Help)
-- Menu items and separators
-- Hover/active states
-- Disabled menu items
-
-### Theme Colors Applied
-
-For each theme, the following color properties are applied to menus:
-
-- **Background**: Slightly darker/lighter than the main theme background
-- **Foreground**: Uses the theme's text color
-- **Active Background**: Uses the theme's selection/accent color
-- **Active Foreground**: Uses the theme's selection text color
-- **Disabled Foreground**: Grayed out color for disabled items
-
-## Technical Implementation
-
-### ThemeManager Methods
-
-#### `get_menu_colors() -> dict[str, str]`
-Returns a dictionary of colors specifically optimized for menu theming:
-```python
-{
-    "bg": "#edeeef",           # Menu background
-    "fg": "#5c616c",           # Menu text
-    "active_bg": "#0078d4",    # Hover background
-    "active_fg": "#ffffff",    # Hover text
-    "disabled_fg": "#888888"   # Disabled text
-}
-```
-
-#### `configure_menu(menu: tk.Menu) -> None`
-Applies theme colors to a specific menu widget:
-```python
-theme_manager.configure_menu(menubar)
-theme_manager.configure_menu(file_menu)
-```
-
-### Automatic Updates
-
-When themes are changed using the Theme menu:
-1. The new theme is applied to all UI components
-2. The menu setup is refreshed (`_setup_menu()` is called)
-3. All menus are automatically re-themed with the new colors
-
-## Usage Example
-
-```python
-# Create menu
-menubar = tk.Menu(root)
-file_menu = tk.Menu(menubar, tearoff=0)
-
-# Apply theming
-theme_manager.configure_menu(menubar)
-theme_manager.configure_menu(file_menu)
-
-# Menus will now match the current theme
-```
-
-## Color Calculation
-
-The menu background color is automatically calculated based on the main theme:
-
-- **Light themes**: Menu background is made slightly darker than the main background
-- **Dark themes**: Menu background is made slightly lighter than the main background
-
-This provides subtle visual distinction while maintaining theme consistency.
-
-## Supported Themes
-
-Menu theming works with all available themes:
-- arc
-- equilux
-- adapta
-- yaru
-- ubuntu
-- plastik
-- breeze
-- elegance
-
-## Testing
-
-A test script is available to verify menu theming functionality:
-
-```bash
-cd /home/will/Code/thechart
-.venv/bin/python scripts/test_menu_theming.py
-```
-
-This script creates a test window with menus that can be used to verify theming across different themes.

-# Menu Theming Documentation
-
-## Overview
-
-TheChart application now supports full menu theming that integrates seamlessly with the application's theme system. All menus (File, Tools, Theme, Help) will automatically adopt colors that match the selected application theme.
-
-## Features
-
-### Automatic Theme Integration
-- Menus automatically inherit colors from the current application theme
-- Background colors are slightly adjusted to provide subtle visual distinction
-- Hover effects use the theme's accent colors for consistency
-
-### Supported Menu Elements
-- Main menu bar
-- All dropdown menus (File, Tools, Theme, Help)
-- Menu items and separators
-- Hover/active states
-- Disabled menu items
-
-### Theme Colors Applied
-
-For each theme, the following color properties are applied to menus:
-
-- **Background**: Slightly darker/lighter than the main theme background
-- **Foreground**: Uses the theme's text color
-- **Active Background**: Uses the theme's selection/accent color
-- **Active Foreground**: Uses the theme's selection text color
-- **Disabled Foreground**: Grayed out color for disabled items
-
-## Technical Implementation
-
-### ThemeManager Methods
-
-#### `get_menu_colors() -> dict[str, str]`
-Returns a dictionary of colors specifically optimized for menu theming:
-```python
-{
-    "bg": "#edeeef",           # Menu background
-    "fg": "#5c616c",           # Menu text
-    "active_bg": "#0078d4",    # Hover background
-    "active_fg": "#ffffff",    # Hover text
-    "disabled_fg": "#888888"   # Disabled text
-}
-```
-
-#### `configure_menu(menu: tk.Menu) -> None`
-Applies theme colors to a specific menu widget:
-```python
-theme_manager.configure_menu(menubar)
-theme_manager.configure_menu(file_menu)
-```
-
-### Automatic Updates
-
-When themes are changed using the Theme menu:
-1. The new theme is applied to all UI components
-2. The menu setup is refreshed (`_setup_menu()` is called)
-3. All menus are automatically re-themed with the new colors
-
-## Usage Example
-
-```python
-# Create menu
-menubar = tk.Menu(root)
-file_menu = tk.Menu(menubar, tearoff=0)
-
-# Apply theming
-theme_manager.configure_menu(menubar)
-theme_manager.configure_menu(file_menu)
-
-# Menus will now match the current theme
-```
-
-## Color Calculation
-
-The menu background color is automatically calculated based on the main theme:
-
-- **Light themes**: Menu background is made slightly darker than the main background
-- **Dark themes**: Menu background is made slightly lighter than the main background
-
-This provides subtle visual distinction while maintaining theme consistency.
-
-## Supported Themes
-
-Menu theming works with all available themes:
-- arc
-- equilux
-- adapta
-- yaru
-- ubuntu
-- plastik
-- breeze
-- elegance
-
-## Testing
-
-A test script is available to verify menu theming functionality:
-
-```bash
-cd /home/will/Code/thechart
-.venv/bin/python scripts/test_menu_theming.py
-```
-
-This script creates a test window with menus that can be used to verify theming across different themes.
