January 2025 (2025-01) — Vera Admin Page Story Management UI Improvements. Implemented a safer, more usable story-management workflow for the Vera admin, focusing on reliability, consistency, and developer efficiency. Key changes include a clickable story title linking to the story page, a server-backed delete flow via deleteIndividualStory with a confirmation modal, and UI/UX refinements (disabled delete for approved stories, consistent button sizing, and improved padding). Also performed a refactor to align deletion logic (rename/deleteStory to deleteIndividualStory) and standardized modal/button UI across actions. These changes improve moderation speed, reduce accidental deletions, and improve maintainability.
