The entity type determination follows a clear hierarchy of rules based on the dialog's opening context. When users click the "Project" button from the home view, they're indicating they want to record receiving something from a project, so the dialog configures itself for project-to-person gifts. Conversely, when opened from a project page with a "give to this project" context, it sets up for person-to-project transactions.

The final step in the gift recording process involves translating the user's selections into the specific parameter format expected by the endorser server API. This mapping is complex because the API uses different fields depending on whether entities are people or projects. For project-to-person gifts, the project is identified by its handle ID in the `providerPlanHandleId` field, while the person is identified in the `toDid` field. Person-to-project gifts reverse this pattern, using `fromDid` for the person and `fulfillsProjectHandleId` for the project. Person-to-person gifts use the simpler `fromDid` and `toDid` pattern.

The component maintains several categories of state to track the user's progress through the gift recording process. UI state controls the dialog's visibility and current step, while entity state tracks the selected giver and recipient along with their types. Form state holds the user's input for the gift details, and data state contains the available options loaded from the database and API. This separation makes the component's behavior predictable and easier to debug.

## GiftedDialog Pinia Store Refactoring Plan
## GiftedDialog Pinia Store Refactoring Plan
### Overview
### Refactoring Overview
This plan outlines a systematic approach to refactor the GiftedDialog component to use Pinia store for state management while maintaining backward compatibility and minimizing disruption. This refactoring also includes improvements to variable naming, type safety, and code clarity.

**CRITICAL UPDATE**: After comprehensive audit of `GiftedDialog.vue`, additional fields and functionality have been identified that must be included in the refactoring plan to prevent breaking changes.
