 ## Common Anti-Patterns to Avoid
-
-1. **❌ Direct DOM Manipulation**: Never use `document.querySelector()` or similar
-2. **❌ jQuery or External Libraries**: Avoid non-Lightning compatible libraries
-3. **❌ Inline Styles**: Use SLDS classes instead of `style` attributes
-4. **❌ Global CSS**: All styles should be scoped to the component
-5. **❌ Hardcoded Values**: Use custom labels, custom metadata, or constants
-6. **❌ Imperative API Calls**: Prefer `@wire` over imperative `import` calls when possible
-7. **❌ Memory Leaks**: Always clean up event listeners in `disconnectedCallback()`
