 ## $(date +%Y-%m-%d) - Prevent accidental data loss in inline editors
 **Learning:** Forms that take a long time to fill out (like a WBS editor) are prone to accidental closure by users pressing `Escape` or clicking cancel. This causes immediate data loss without any warning, resulting in frustration.
 **Action:** When working on editors that can be dismissed, track whether the user has modified any fields compared to their initial state. If there are changes, intercept the close action and present a confirmation dialog (`window.confirm`) to ensure they really want to discard their edits. Bypass this for intentional saves or explicit data overrides.
+## 2024-05-24 - Restore Keyboard Focus After Destructive DOM Re-renders
+**Learning:** When a UI action triggers a full DOM re-render (like closing an inline editor that replaces the entire `<tbody>`), the currently focused element reference (`document.activeElement`) becomes disconnected from the document. Simply calling `.focus()` on the disconnected element does nothing, and keyboard focus is lost, resetting to the top of the document.
+**Action:** Before triggering the re-render, explicitly save identifying dataset attributes (like `taskId` and `action`) or `id` from `document.activeElement`. After the re-render, use `requestAnimationFrame` to wait for the DOM to update, query for the newly created equivalent element using the saved attributes, and call `.focus()` on it to restore context for keyboard users.
