🚂 STEAM TRAIN REBUILD REMINDER

⚠️ ALWAYS CHECK THIS BEFORE STARTING WORK ON TRAIN FEATURES:

What Happened:

• Git reset destroyed all enhanced steam train features
• Features were in commits 57ef456 and bf65d45 but got lost
• User is rightfully pissed about losing working features

What To Do:

1. ALWAYS reference /Users/antialias/projects/soroban-abacus-flashcards/REBUILD_CHECKLIST.md
2. Rebuild features systematically, one at a time
3. Commit each feature individually
4. Test each feature before moving to next
5. Never do destructive git operations without user approval

Current Status:

• On commit 84334f9 (only has timer bar hidden)
• Need to rebuild ALL enhanced train features
• Priority: Fix question generation first, then visual features

Key Lesson:

• When user asks to "hide timer bar" → just hide the timer bar
• Don't break the entire question generation system
• Don't do git resets that lose working features
• Always keep this checklist updated

🔥 CHECK THE REBUILD CHECKLIST BEFORE EVERY TRAIN-RELATED TASK
