+## 2026-08-29 (continued) — TASK-043: empty 즐겨찾기 offered 로그아웃 instead of a way back
+
+- Agent and role: Claude, direct continuation of the same live session. Live bug report mid-turn:
+  "현재 화면 즐겨찾기가 안되어있는데 로그아웃할거냐는 버튼이 왜 있지?" — reproduced immediately via
+  screenshot of the actual device screen.
+- Commit/diff: on `claude/task-015-notifications`; `feature/repositories/RepositoryListScreen.kt`'s
+  `RepositoryListUiState.Empty` branch split into two `MessageState` calls;
+  `strings_repositories.xml` gained `repositories_favorites_empty_action`;
+  `tasks/043-favorites-empty-state-wrong-action.md`.
+- Root cause: the FAVORITES-mode ("nothing starred yet") and ALL-mode ("account has zero
+  repositories") empty states shared one `MessageState` call with a single hardcoded action —
+  `onLogout`/"로그아웃" — that only made sense for the ALL-mode dead-end case. FAVORITES-mode
+  inherited it as an unrelated leftover instead of getting its own action.
+- How it was fixed: FAVORITES-mode now gets its own `MessageState` call using
+  `onShowAllRepositories` (already passed into this composable, and already what the tab row above it
+  calls) with a new "전체 저장소 보기" label; ALL-mode is unchanged.

+# TASK-043: Empty 즐겨찾기 tab offered 로그아웃 instead of a way back to 전체 저장소
+
+Status: implemented; all required checks pass; live-confirmed on the human product owner's device
+Owner: Claude
+Reviewer: Codex
+
+## Outcome
+
+Live bug report: "현재 화면 즐겨찾기가 안되어있는데 로그아웃할거냐는 버튼이 왜 있지?" (the current
+screen has nothing favorited, so why is there a button asking whether to log out?). Confirmed on
+screen: the 즐겨찾기 tab, with zero starred repositories, showed "즐겨찾기한 저장소가 없습니다." and
+directly below it a green primary button labeled "로그아웃" — logging out was presented as the answer
+to "you have nothing starred," which makes no sense and is a jarring, semi-destructive-looking action
+to put in front of a user who just wants to go star something.
+
+Root cause: `RepositoryListScreen`'s `RepositoryListUiState.Empty` branch renders both of its two very
+different cases — "즐겨찾기 has nothing starred yet" (fixable by visiting the other tab, right above
+this message) and "the account itself has zero repositories" (a genuine dead end where logout really
+is the only remaining action) — through the same `MessageState` call, which requires exactly one
+mandatory action/label pair. The FAVORITES-mode branch reused `onLogout`/"로그아웃" from the ALL-mode
+branch below it instead of getting its own action wired up.
+
+## Scope
+
+- Included: `feature/repositories/RepositoryListScreen.kt`'s `RepositoryListUiState.Empty` branch —
+  split into two calls to `MessageState`, one per mode. FAVORITES-mode now uses
+  `onShowAllRepositories` (already in scope at this call site) with a new
+  `repositories_favorites_empty_action` ("전체 저장소 보기") label instead of `onLogout`/"로그아웃".
+  ALL-mode (genuinely zero repositories on the account) is unchanged.
+- Excluded: `MessageState` itself (still single-action by design; not worth generalizing for one call
+  site). `RepositoryListViewModel` — this is a pure presentation fix, the `Empty` state's `mode` field
+  it reads already existed.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [x] 즐겨찾기 tab with zero starred repositories shows a button that reads "전체 저장소 보기", not
+      "로그아웃".
+- [x] Tapping it switches to the 전체 저장소 tab (reuses the same `onShowAllRepositories` the tab row
+      itself already calls).
+- [x] The genuinely-empty-account case (전체 저장소 tab, zero repositories at all) is unchanged and
+      still offers 로그아웃.
+- [x] Build, unit tests, and lint pass.
+- [x] Live-confirmed on the human product owner's device: emptied 즐겨찾기 (repository had been
+      unstarred since the last check), confirmed the button now reads "전체 저장소 보기", tapped it,
+      confirmed it switches to 전체 저장소 and shows the full repository list.
+
+## Required checks
+
+```text
+./gradlew compileDebugKotlin compileDebugUnitTestKotlin testDebugUnitTest assembleDebug lintDebug
+```
+
+## Evidence
+
+- `feature/repositories/RepositoryListScreen.kt`: `RepositoryListUiState.Empty` branch now has two
+  `MessageState` calls (FAVORITES vs. everything else) instead of one shared call with a hardcoded
+  logout action.
+- `strings_repositories.xml`: new `repositories_favorites_empty_action` = "전체 저장소 보기".
+- `./gradlew compileDebugKotlin compileDebugUnitTestKotlin testDebugUnitTest assembleDebug lintDebug`:
+  BUILD SUCCESSFUL, all unit tests passing unmodified (no test exercised this exact button label), 0
+  lint errors.
+- Live device: installed over wireless `adb`. 즐겨찾기 tab (currently empty — a previously-starred
+  repository had been unstarred since TASK-041's verification) showed "전체 저장소 보기" (screenshot);
+  tapped it and confirmed it lands on 전체 저장소 with the full list visible (screenshot).
+
+## Known limitations
+
+None outstanding for this task.
+
+## Review findings
+
+None yet — pending Codex/human review.
