 11. **XML data ordering**: Window actions must be defined BEFORE `<menuitem>` elements that reference them in the same file.
 12. **Module install on new modules**: Use `--update=base` alongside `-i MODULE` to ensure Odoo rescans the addons path and finds the new module directory.
 13. **Implied group cascade**: `implied_ids` on `res.groups` does NOT reliably propagate to users on module install. Always include `user_ids` to explicitly assign admin, or fix via SQL post-install.
+14. **Recipe editor parity**: Step-level UX features (image attachments, prompt editing, settings toggles, preview affordances, etc.) MUST be implemented in BOTH the **Simple Editor** (`fusion_plating/static/src/{js,xml,scss}/simple_recipe_editor.*` + `controllers/simple_recipe_controller.py`) AND the **Tree Editor** (`fusion_plating/static/src/{js,xml,scss}/recipe_tree_editor.*` + `controllers/recipe_controller.py`). Authors choose between editors per-recipe via `preferred_editor`; if a feature only lands in one, half the userbase silently misses it. Default assumption: most clients use the Simple Editor — when in doubt, ship Simple first, then port to Tree in the same change. Backend model + view changes (e.g. new fields on `fusion.plating.process.node`, new tabs on the node form) automatically reach both editors via the related model — only the editor-specific JS/XML/SCSS needs duplicating.
 
 ## Naming
 - **New custom models** (post-2026-04): `fp.*` prefix (e.g. `fp.part.catalog`, `fp.certificate`)
