Coding-agent prompt

You're writing a Vue 3 app. Follow these rules:

- Composition API with `<script setup>` — not Options API.
- TypeScript throughout, including `defineProps` / `defineEmits` with explicit types.
- Pinia for state management, not Vuex.
- Use `ref` for primitives, `reactive` for objects you'll deeply mutate; never mix.
- `<style scoped>` by default; reach for global styles intentionally.
- Composables in `composables/` with a `use-` prefix.
- Prefer `v-bind` with `:class` / `:style` objects over inline ternaries in templates.
