## Avatar Features

### Avatar Sources (Priority Order)
1. **User's uploaded avatar** - If user has uploaded an avatar, it's displayed
2. **Dicebear API fallback** - Generates avatar based on user's full name
3. **Initials fallback** - Shows user initials if images fail to load

### Helper Functions Added
All components include these standardized helper functions:

```typescript
// Get avatar URL with proper path handling
function getAvatarUrl(url: string | null | undefined) {
  if (!url) return ''
  if (url.startsWith('http')) return url
  const cleanUrl = url.replace(/^backend[\/\\]/, '').replace(/\\/g, '/')
  return `http://localhost:8000/${cleanUrl}`
}

// Get user initials from first and last name
function getUserInitials(firstName: string, lastName: string) {
  return `${firstName.charAt(0)}${lastName.charAt(0)}`.toUpperCase()
}
```

### Avatar Sizes Used
- **h-4 w-4** - Tiny avatars (attachment cards)
- **h-5 w-5** - Small avatars (task list assigned users)
- **h-6 w-6** - Medium avatars (task detail assigned user)
- **h-8 w-8** - Standard avatars (user tables, activity feed, team management, dialogs)
- **h-10 w-10** - Large avatars (dialog headers)
- **h-12 w-12** - Extra large avatars (user approval cards)

## Implementation Pattern

Each component follows this consistent pattern:

```vue
<template>
  <Avatar class="h-8 w-8">
    <!-- User's uploaded avatar -->
    <AvatarImage
      v-if="user.avatar_url"
      :src="getAvatarUrl(user.avatar_url)"
    />
    <!-- Dicebear generated avatar -->
    <AvatarImage
      v-else
      :src="`https://api.dicebear.com/7.x/initials/svg?seed=${user.first_name} ${user.last_name}`"
    />
    <!-- Initials fallback -->
    <AvatarFallback>{{ getUserInitials(user) }}</AvatarFallback>
  </Avatar>
</template>
```

## Benefits

1. **Visual Consistency** - All user displays now show avatars consistently
2. **Better UX** - Users can quickly identify people by their avatars
3. **Professional Look** - Avatars make the interface more polished and modern
4. **Fallback Support** - Multiple fallback options ensure avatars always display
5. **Scalable** - Easy to add avatars to new components using the same pattern
