+## Latest Milestone (2026-02-22): Quick-Capture Dialog Regression Test (People)
+
+Added explicit widget-test coverage so controller lifecycle issues in quick
+capture dialogs are caught automatically in CI/local runs.
+
+- `test/features/people/people_quick_capture_dialog_test.dart` (new)
+  - mounts `PeopleView` in mobile layout
+  - opens profile-context `Capture` quick action dialog
+  - exercises `Cancel` path and pumps through dismissal frames
+  - reopens dialog, saves a capture, and pumps through dismissal frames
+  - asserts:
+    - no framework exceptions surfaced (`tester.takeException() == null`)
+    - local moments count increases after save
+  - specifically protects against the disposed `TextEditingController` race
+
+- Validation
+  - `flutter analyze` -> pass
+  - `flutter test` -> pass
+
 ## Latest Milestone (2026-02-22): Quick-Capture Dialog Controller Lifecycle Fix
 
 Fixed a runtime crash when creating captures/notes from profile-context quick
