-### T-14 · Move jail detail sub-sections from `pages/jail/` to `components/jail/`
-
-**Where found:** `frontend/src/pages/jail/` — `JailInfoSection`, `PatternsSection`, `BantimeEscalationSection`, `IgnoreListSection`, `jailDetailPageStyles.ts`. `BannedIpsSection` is in `frontend/src/components/jail/` (correct location).
-
-**Why this is needed:** The project convention is `pages/` for route-level components and `components/` for reusable UI. Sub-sections are reusable UI building blocks, not route components. `BannedIpsSection` already lives in the right place. The inconsistency makes the directory structure misleading.
-
-**Goal:** All `*Section` components for jail detail under `components/jail/`. `pages/jail/` deleted or contains only route-level entry points.
-
-**What to do:**
-1. Move `JailInfoSection`, `PatternsSection`, `BantimeEscalationSection`, `IgnoreListSection`, and `jailDetailPageStyles.ts` to `frontend/src/components/jail/`.
-2. Update imports in `JailDetailPage.tsx`.
-3. Remove empty `pages/jail/` directory.
-
-**Possible traps and issues:**
-- Confirm no other page imports from `pages/jail/` before deleting it.
-- Update any path-based test imports.
-
-**Docs changes needed:** `Docs/Web-Development.md` — document the `pages/` vs `components/` convention explicitly.
-
-**Doc references:** `Docs/Web-Development.md`

 ### T-15 · Replace `window` event bus for session expiry with React context callback
 
 **Where found:** `frontend/src/api/client.ts` — `window.dispatchEvent(new Event(SESSION_EXPIRED_EVENT))`; `frontend/src/providers/AuthProvider.tsx` — `window.addEventListener(SESSION_EXPIRED_EVENT, ...)`
