+## Favorites / Bookmarks
+
+Favorites is a Favorite { userId, recipeId, createdAt } join table with a star button on every recipe detail page and a dedicated /me/favorites route that lists the user's saved items. It solves the 'I keep losing this recipe' problem that returning players experience, and gives the wiki a personalized landing page that is more compelling than the generic homepage. The signal is user behavior: the most common repeat visit on any game wiki is 'find that recipe I used last time', and without favorites that is a search each time. Storing anonymous favorites in localStorage with a 'sync after login' prompt is a nice touch that converts anonymous users into accounts.

+## Implementation tips
+
+1. New Prisma model: Favorite { userId, recipeId, createdAt } with composite primary key.
+2. Star button on every recipe detail page; /me/favorites route lists them.
+3. For anonymous users, store favorites in localStorage and offer 'sync after login' on first auth.
