 ## Frontend
 
 - Match the existing Bootstrap-based UI patterns.
-- Use Bootstrap Icons for iconography rather than custom SVG drawing.
+- All icons should come from the `bootstrap-icons` library already used by the frontend.
+- Do not introduce custom SVG icon drawing or alternate icon packs unless the repo guidance is updated first.
 - Keep interactive controls readable and compact, especially in menus and toolbars.
 - Prefer UI changes that fit the current layout and spacing conventions.
