chore: bump version to 2026.01.005

Implemented consistent responsive styling across all recipe and cookbook thumbnail displays
with column-specific font sizes and description visibility rules.

Changes:
- Added responsive font sizing for 3, 5, 7, and 9 column layouts
- Hide descriptions at 7+ columns to prevent text cutoff
- Show 2-line descriptions for 3 and 5 columns with proper truncation
- Applied consistent card styling (1px border, 8px radius) across all pages
- Updated RecipeList, Cookbooks, and CookbookDetail pages
- Documented all 7 thumbnail display locations in CLAUDE.md

Styling rules:
- Column 3: Larger fonts (0.95rem title, 0.8rem desc, 0.75rem meta)
- Column 5: Medium fonts (0.85rem title, 0.75rem desc, 0.7rem meta)
- Column 7-9: Smallest fonts, descriptions hidden

Pages affected:
- Recipe List (My Recipes)
- Cookbooks page (Recent Recipes section)
- Cookbooks page (Main grid)
- Cookbook Detail (Recipes section)
- Cookbook Detail (Nested cookbooks)

+
+## Version Management
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Increment the version with **every production deployment**.
+
+### Version Format
+Basil uses calendar versioning with the format: `YYYY.MM.PPP`
+- `YYYY` - Four-digit year (e.g., 2026)
+- `MM` - Two-digit month with zero-padding (e.g., 01 for January, 12 for December)
+- `PPP` - Three-digit patch number with zero-padding that increases with each deployment in a month
+
+### Examples
+- `2026.01.001` - First deployment in January 2026
+- `2026.01.002` - Second deployment in January 2026
+- `2026.02.001` - First deployment in February 2026 (patch resets to 001)
+- `2026.02.003` - Third deployment in February 2026
+
+### Version Update Process
+When deploying to production:
+
+1. **Update version files:**
+   ```bash
+   # Update both version files with new version
+   # packages/api/src/version.ts
+   # packages/web/src/version.ts
+   export const APP_VERSION = '2026.01.002';
+   ```
+
+2. **Commit the version bump:**
+   ```bash
+   git add packages/api/src/version.ts packages/web/src/version.ts
+   git commit -m "chore: bump version to 2026.01.002"
+   git push origin main
+   ```
+
+3. **Create Git tag and release:**
+   ```bash
+   # Tag should match version with 'v' prefix
+   git tag v2026.01.002
+   git push origin v2026.01.002
+
+   # Or use Gitea MCP to create tag and release
+   ```
+
+4. **Document in release notes:**
+   - Summarize changes since last version
+   - List bug fixes, features, and breaking changes
+   - Reference related pull requests or issues
+
+### Version Display
+The current version is displayed in:
+- API: `GET /api/version` endpoint returns `{ version: '2026.01.002' }`
+- Web: Footer or about section shows current version
+- Both packages export `APP_VERSION` constant for internal use
+
+## UI Design System - Thumbnail Cards
+
+### Responsive Column Layout System
+
+All recipe and cookbook thumbnail displays support a responsive column system (3, 5, 7, or 9 columns) with column-specific styling for optimal readability at different densities.
+
+**Column-Responsive Font Sizes:**
+- **Column 3** (Largest cards): Title 0.95rem, Description 0.8rem (2 lines), Meta 0.75rem
+- **Column 5** (Medium cards): Title 0.85rem, Description 0.75rem (2 lines), Meta 0.7rem
+- **Column 7** (Compact): Title 0.75rem, Description hidden, Meta 0.6rem
+- **Column 9** (Most compact): Title 0.75rem, Description hidden, Meta 0.6rem
+
+**Implementation Pattern:**
+1. Add `gridClassName = \`recipes-grid columns-${columnCount}\`` or `\`cookbooks-grid columns-${columnCount}\``
+2. Apply className to grid container: `<div className={gridClassName} style={gridStyle}>`
+3. Use column-specific CSS selectors: `.columns-3 .recipe-info h3 { font-size: 0.95rem; }`
+
+### Recipe Thumbnail Display Locations
+
+All locations use square aspect ratio (1:1) cards with 60% image height.
+
+1. **Recipe List Page** (`packages/web/src/pages/RecipeList.tsx`)
+   - Class: `recipe-grid-enhanced columns-{3|5|7|9}`
+   - CSS: `packages/web/src/styles/RecipeList.css`
+   - Features: Main recipe browsing with pagination, search, filtering
+   - Displays: Image, title, description, time, rating
+   - Status: ✅ Responsive column styling applied
+
+2. **Cookbooks Page - Recent Recipes** (`packages/web/src/pages/Cookbooks.tsx`)
+   - Class: `recipes-grid columns-{3|5|7|9}`
+   - CSS: `packages/web/src/styles/Cookbooks.css`
+   - Features: Shows 6 most recent recipes below cookbook list
+   - Displays: Image, title, description, time, rating
+   - Status: ✅ Responsive column styling applied
+
+3. **Cookbook Detail - Recipes Section** (`packages/web/src/pages/CookbookDetail.tsx`)
+   - Class: `recipes-grid columns-{3|5|7|9}`
+   - CSS: `packages/web/src/styles/CookbookDetail.css`
+   - Features: Paginated recipes within a cookbook, with remove button
+   - Displays: Image, title, description, time, rating, remove button
+   - Status: ✅ Responsive column styling applied
+
+4. **Add Meal Modal - Recipe Selection** (`packages/web/src/components/meal-planner/AddMealModal.tsx`)
+   - Class: `recipe-list` with `recipe-item`
+   - CSS: `packages/web/src/styles/AddMealModal.css`
+   - Features: Selectable recipe list for adding to meal plan
+   - Displays: Small thumbnail, title, description
+   - Status: ⚠️ Needs responsive column styling review
+
+5. **Meal Card Component** (`packages/web/src/components/meal-planner/MealCard.tsx`)
+   - Class: `meal-card` with `meal-card-image`
+   - CSS: `packages/web/src/styles/MealCard.css`
+   - Features: Recipe thumbnail in meal planner (compact & full views)
+   - Displays: Recipe image as part of meal display
+   - Status: ⚠️ Different use case - calendar/list view, not grid-based
+
+### Cookbook Thumbnail Display Locations
+
+All locations use square aspect ratio (1:1) cards with 50% image height.
+
+1. **Cookbooks Page - Main Grid** (`packages/web/src/pages/Cookbooks.tsx`)
+   - Class: `cookbooks-grid`
+   - CSS: `packages/web/src/styles/Cookbooks.css`
+   - Features: Main cookbook browsing with pagination
+   - Displays: Cover image, name, recipe count, cookbook count
+   - Status: ✅ Already has compact styling (description/tags hidden)
+   - Note: Could benefit from column-responsive font sizes
+
+2. **Cookbook Detail - Nested Cookbooks** (`packages/web/src/pages/CookbookDetail.tsx`)
+   - Class: `cookbooks-grid` with `cookbook-card nested`
+   - CSS: `packages/web/src/styles/CookbookDetail.css`
+   - Features: Child cookbooks within parent cookbook
+   - Displays: Cover image, name, recipe count, cookbook count
+   - Status: ✅ Already has compact styling (description/tags hidden)
+   - Note: Could benefit from column-responsive font sizes
+
+### Key CSS Classes
+
+- `recipe-card` - Individual recipe card
+- `recipe-grid-enhanced` or `recipes-grid` - Recipe grid container
+- `cookbook-card` - Individual cookbook card
+- `cookbooks-grid` - Cookbook grid container
+- `columns-{3|5|7|9}` - Dynamic column count modifier class
+
+### Styling Consistency Rules
+
+1. **Image Heights**: Recipes 60%, Cookbooks 50%
+2. **Aspect Ratio**: All cards are square (1:1)
+3. **Border**: 1px solid #e0e0e0 (not box-shadow)
+4. **Border Radius**: 8px
+5. **Hover Effect**: `translateY(-2px)` with `box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)`
+6. **Description Display**:
+   - Columns 3 & 5: Show 2 lines
+   - Columns 7 & 9: Hide completely
+7. **Font Scaling**: Larger fonts for fewer columns, smaller for more columns
+8. **Text Truncation**: Use `-webkit-line-clamp` with `text-overflow: ellipsis`
