**Date**: October 3, 2025  
**Status**: ✅ Complete  
**Version**: 1.1

## 🎯 Objectives Completed

1. ✅ Move `run_ui.py` into `streamlit_app` folder

## 📝 Changes Made

### 1. File Structure Change

**Moved**: `run_ui.py` → `streamlit_app/run_ui.py`

- Updated path references to work from new location
- `project_root` now points to parent directory
- Run script path updated to use `Path(__file__).parent / "app.py"`

**Usage**:
```bash
# From project root
python streamlit_app/run_ui.py

# Or from streamlit_app directory
cd streamlit_app
python run_ui.py
```

### 2. Test Coverage Verification

**File**: `tests/test_streamlit_integration.py`

Confirmed existing comprehensive test coverage:
- ✅ `test_delete_memory()` - Tests deletion of active memory
- ✅ `test_delete_nonexistent_memory()` - Tests error handling
- ✅ Verifies memory is removed from list after deletion
- ✅ Tests success/failure return values

**Total Tests**: 12 integration tests (8 functionality + 4 error handling)
