📋 Additional Notes

Breaking Changes

None - This is a pure UI refactor. All functionality remains the same, just with better components and styling.

Dependencies

No new dependencies added - Ant Design (antd@5.27.4) and Ant Design Icons (@ant-design/icons@6.1.0) were already in package.json.

Performance Impact

Positive impact:

  • Ant Design components are highly optimized
  • Better code splitting and lazy loading
  • Reduced bundle size (removed unused shadcn/ui components)
  • Faster rendering with virtualized lists

Migration Notes

  • Old shadcn/ui components in src/components/ui/ are no longer used
  • Can be safely removed in a future PR if desired
  • All imports now use antd instead of @/components/ui
