## Executive Summary

### Current State
- **Authentication**: Zustand singleton store with AES-GCM encryption
- **Security**: Production-grade (JWT validation, session tracking, encrypted storage)
- **Performance**: Excellent (singleton refresh pattern, 98.38% test coverage)
- **Testability**: Poor (E2E tests cannot mock auth state)

### Target State
- **Authentication**: Zustand store wrapped in React Context for DI
- **Security**: Unchanged (all security logic preserved)
- **Performance**: Unchanged (same runtime characteristics)
- **Testability**: Excellent (E2E tests can inject mock stores)

### Impact
- **Files Modified**: 13 files (8 source, 5 tests)
- **Files Created**: 2 new files
- **Breaking Changes**: None (internal refactor only)
- **Test Coverage**: Maintained at ≥98.38%

### Success Metrics
- 100% unit test pass rate
- 100% E2E test pass rate (86 total tests)
- Zero console errors
- Zero performance regression
- All manual test scenarios pass

## Phase 1 Lessons Learned (CRITICAL - READ FIRST)

**Phase 1 Status**: ✅ **COMPLETED** - All issues resolved

### Key Implementation Insights

#### 1. useAuth Hook Must Call Zustand Hook Internally

**❌ WRONG (Original Plan)**:
```typescript
export function useAuth() {
  const context = useContext(AuthContext);
  return context;  // Returns the hook function - VIOLATES React Rules of Hooks!
}
```

**✅ CORRECT (Implemented)**:
```typescript
export function useAuth(): AuthState;
export function useAuth<T>(selector: (state: AuthState) => T): T;
export function useAuth<T>(selector?: (state: AuthState) => T): AuthState | T {
  const storeHook = useContext(AuthContext);
  if (!storeHook) {
    throw new Error("useAuth must be used within AuthProvider");
  }
  // CRITICAL: Call the hook internally
  return selector ? storeHook(selector) : storeHook();
}
```

**Why This Matters**:
- ✅ Enables `const { user } = useAuth()` pattern (simple, idiomatic)
- ✅ Also supports `const user = useAuth(s => s.user)` pattern (optimized)
- ✅ Follows React Rules of Hooks (hook called at component top level)
- ❌ Without this, components would need `const { user } = useAuth()()` (wrong!)

#### 2. Provider Placement Architecture

**Correct Structure**:
```
layout.tsx:
  <AuthProvider>           ← Provides DI layer
    <AuthInitializer />    ← Loads auth from storage (needs AuthProvider)
    <Providers>            ← Other providers (Theme, Query)
      {children}
    </Providers>
  </AuthProvider>
```

**Why This Order**:
- AuthProvider must wrap AuthInitializer (AuthInitializer uses auth state)
- AuthProvider should wrap Providers (auth available everywhere)
- Keep provider tree shallow (performance)

#### 3. Type Safety with Explicit AuthState Interface

**✅ DO**: Define explicit AuthState interface matching Zustand store:
```typescript
interface AuthState {
  user: User | null;
  accessToken: string | null;
  // ... all properties explicitly typed
}
```

**Benefits**:
- IDE autocomplete works perfectly
- Type errors caught at compile time
- Self-documenting code
- Easier to maintain

#### 4. Comprehensive JSDoc Documentation

**Pattern to Follow**:
```typescript
/**
 * [Component/Function Name] - [One-line purpose]
 *
 * [Detailed description including:]
 * - What it does
 * - When to use it
 * - How it works
 *
 * @param {Type} paramName - Parameter description
 * @throws {ErrorType} When error occurs
 * @returns {Type} Return value description
 *
 * @example
 * ```tsx
 * // Concrete usage example
 * const { user } = useAuth();
 * ```
 */
```

**Include Examples For**:
- Different usage patterns (with/without selectors)
- Common mistakes to avoid
- Testing scenarios

#### 5. Barrel Exports for Clean Imports

**DO**: Add to barrel files (`src/lib/stores/index.ts`):
```typescript
export { useAuth, AuthProvider } from '../auth/AuthContext';
```

**Benefits**:
- Consistent import paths: `import { useAuth } from '@/lib/stores'`
- Easy to refactor internal structure
- Clear public API

### Critical Mistakes to Avoid

1. **❌ Don't return hook function from useAuth**
   - Returns function, not state
   - Violates React Rules of Hooks
   - Breaks in Phase 2+

2. **❌ Don't nest AuthProvider inside Providers**
   - AuthInitializer won't have access to auth
   - Wrong dependency order

3. **❌ Don't forget barrel exports**
   - Inconsistent import paths
   - Harder to maintain

4. **❌ Don't skip documentation**
   - Future developers won't understand usage
   - Leads to incorrect implementations

5. **❌ Don't use implicit types**
   - Harder to debug type issues
   - Worse IDE support

### Verification Checklist (Always Run)

After any changes:
- [ ] `npm run type-check` - Must pass with 0 errors
- [ ] `npm run dev` - App must start without errors
- [ ] Browser console - Must be clean (no errors/warnings)
- [ ] Test actual usage - Navigate to protected routes
- [ ] Check React DevTools - Verify provider tree structure

### Performance Considerations

**Polymorphic useAuth Hook**:
- ✅ No performance overhead (hook called once per component)
- ✅ Selector pattern available for optimization
- ✅ Same performance as direct Zustand usage

**Context Provider**:
- ✅ Stable value (doesn't change unless store changes)
- ✅ No extra re-renders
- ✅ Negligible memory overhead

---

## Context & Problem Analysis

### Current Architecture

```
Component → useAuthStore (direct import) → Zustand singleton → storage.ts → crypto.ts
                    ↑
            (Not mockable in E2E)
```

**Files using `useAuthStore`** (13 total):

**Components** (3):
- `src/components/auth/AuthGuard.tsx:53` - Route protection
- `src/components/auth/AuthInitializer.tsx:32` - Startup auth loading
- `src/components/layout/Header.tsx:70` - User display

**Hooks** (2):
- `src/lib/api/hooks/useAuth.ts` - 12+ locations (login, logout, state checks)
- `src/lib/api/hooks/useUser.ts:34` - Profile updates

**Utilities** (1):
- `src/lib/api/client.ts:36-38` - Token interceptors (dynamic import)

**Core Store** (2):
- `src/lib/stores/authStore.ts` - Store definition
- `src/lib/stores/index.ts` - Export barrel

**Tests** (5):
- `tests/components/layout/Header.test.tsx`
- `tests/components/auth/AuthInitializer.test.tsx`
- `tests/lib/stores/authStore.test.ts`
- `tests/lib/api/hooks/useUser.test.tsx`
- `tests/app/(authenticated)/settings/profile/page.test.tsx`

### Core Problem

**E2E tests cannot establish authenticated state** because:

1. **Singleton Pattern**: `export const useAuthStore = create<AuthState>(...)` creates module-level singleton
2. **No Injection Point**: Components import and call `useAuthStore()` directly
3. **Encryption Barrier**: Tokens require AES-GCM encryption setup (key + IV + ciphertext)
4. **Race Conditions**: `AuthInitializer` runs on page load, overwrites test mocks

**Result**: 45 settings E2E tests fail, cannot test authenticated flows end-to-end.

### Why Context DI is the Right Solution

**Alternatives Considered**:
- ❌ Test-mode flag to disable encryption (hack, test-only code in production)
- ❌ Backend seeding (requires running backend, slow, complex)
- ❌ Cookie-based auth (major architecture change, not compatible with current JWT flow)

**Why Context Wins**:
- ✅ Industry-standard React pattern for DI
- ✅ Zero changes to business logic or security
- ✅ Clean separation: Context handles injection, Zustand handles state
- ✅ Testable at both unit and E2E levels
- ✅ Future-proof (easy to add auth events, middleware, logging)
- ✅ No performance overhead (Context value is stable)

---

## Solution Architecture

### Target Architecture

```
Component → useAuth() hook → AuthContext → Zustand store instance → storage.ts → crypto.ts
                                   ↓
                          Provider wrapper (injectable)
                                   ↓
                Production: Real store | Tests: Mock store
```

### Design Principles

1. **Thin Context Layer**: Context only provides dependency injection, no business logic
2. **Zustand for State**: All state management stays in Zustand (no duplicated state)
3. **Backward Compatible**: Internal refactor only, no API changes
4. **Type Safe**: Context interface exactly matches Zustand store interface
5. **Performance**: Context value is stable (no unnecessary re-renders)

### Key Components

#### 1. AuthContext Provider
- Wraps entire app at root layout
- Accepts optional `store` prop for testing
- Falls back to real Zustand singleton in production
- Checks for E2E test store in `window.__TEST_AUTH_STORE__`

#### 2. useAuth Hook
- Replaces direct `useAuthStore` calls in components
- Returns store instance from Context
- Type-safe (infers exact store shape)
- Throws error if used outside Provider

#### 3. Store Access Patterns

**For Components (rendering auth state)**:
```typescript
import { useAuth } from '@/lib/auth/AuthContext';

function MyComponent() {
  const { user, isAuthenticated } = useAuth();
  return <div>{user?.firstName}</div>;
}
```

**For Mutation Callbacks (updating auth state)**:
```typescript
import { useAuthStore } from '@/lib/stores/authStore';

// In React Query mutation
mutationFn: async (data) => {
  const response = await api.call(data);
  const setAuth = useAuthStore.getState().setAuth;
  await setAuth(response.user, response.token);
}
```

**Rationale**: Mutation callbacks run outside React render cycle, don't need Context. Using `getState()` directly is cleaner and avoids unnecessary hook rules.

#### 4. E2E Test Integration
```typescript
// Before page load, inject mock store
await page.addInitScript((mockStore) => {
  (window as any).__TEST_AUTH_STORE__ = mockStore;
}, MOCK_AUTHENTICATED_STORE);

// AuthContext checks window.__TEST_AUTH_STORE__ and uses it
```

---

## Implementation Phases

### Phase 1: Foundation - Create Context Layer

#### Task 1.1: Create AuthContext Module
**File**: `src/lib/auth/AuthContext.tsx` (NEW)

**CRITICAL**: The `useAuth` hook must call the Zustand hook internally to follow React's Rules of Hooks. Do NOT return the hook function itself.

```typescript
/**
 * Authentication Context - Dependency Injection Wrapper for Auth Store
 *
 * Provides a thin Context layer over Zustand auth store to enable:
 * - Test isolation (inject mock stores)
 * - E2E testing without backend
 * - Clean architecture (DI pattern)
 *
 * Design: Context handles dependency injection, Zustand handles state management
 */

"use client";

import { createContext, useContext } from "react";
import type { ReactNode } from "react";
import { useAuthStore as useAuthStoreImpl } from "@/lib/stores/authStore";
import type { User } from "@/lib/stores/authStore";

/**
 * Authentication state shape
 * Matches the Zustand store interface exactly
 */
interface AuthState {
  // State
  user: User | null;
  accessToken: string | null;
  refreshToken: string | null;
  isAuthenticated: boolean;
  isLoading: boolean;
  tokenExpiresAt: number | null;

  // Actions
  setAuth: (user: User, accessToken: string, refreshToken: string, expiresIn?: number) => Promise<void>;
  setTokens: (accessToken: string, refreshToken: string, expiresIn?: number) => Promise<void>;
  setUser: (user: User) => void;
  clearAuth: () => Promise<void>;
  loadAuthFromStorage: () => Promise<void>;
  isTokenExpired: () => boolean;
}

/**
 * Type of the Zustand hook function
 * Used for Context storage and test injection
 */
type AuthStoreHook = typeof useAuthStoreImpl;

/**
 * Global window extension for E2E test injection
 * E2E tests can set window.__TEST_AUTH_STORE__ before navigation
 */
declare global {
  interface Window {
    __TEST_AUTH_STORE__?: AuthStoreHook;
  }
}

const AuthContext = createContext<AuthStoreHook | null>(null);

interface AuthProviderProps {
  children: ReactNode;
  /**
   * Optional store override for testing
   * Used in unit tests to inject mock store
   */
  store?: AuthStoreHook;
}

/**
 * Authentication Context Provider
 *
 * Wraps Zustand auth store in React Context for dependency injection.
 * Enables test isolation by allowing mock stores to be injected via:
 * 1. `store` prop (unit tests)
 * 2. `window.__TEST_AUTH_STORE__` (E2E tests)
 * 3. Production singleton (default)
 *
 * @example
 * ```tsx
 * // In root layout
 * <AuthProvider>
 *   <App />
 * </AuthProvider>
 *
 * // In unit tests
 * <AuthProvider store={mockStore}>
 *   <ComponentUnderTest />
 * </AuthProvider>
 *
 * // In E2E tests (before navigation)
 * window.__TEST_AUTH_STORE__ = mockAuthStoreHook;
 * ```
 */
export function AuthProvider({ children, store }: AuthProviderProps) {
  // Check for E2E test store injection (SSR-safe)
  const testStore =
    typeof window !== "undefined" && window.__TEST_AUTH_STORE__
      ? window.__TEST_AUTH_STORE__
      : null;

  // Priority: explicit prop > E2E test store > production singleton
  const authStore = store ?? testStore ?? useAuthStoreImpl;

  return <AuthContext.Provider value={authStore}>{children}</AuthContext.Provider>;
}

/**
 * Hook to access authentication state and actions
 *
 * Supports both full state access and selector patterns for performance optimization.
 * Must be used within AuthProvider.
 *
 * @throws {Error} If used outside of AuthProvider
 *
 * @example
 * ```tsx
 * // Full state access (simpler, re-renders on any state change)
 * function MyComponent() {
 *   const { user, isAuthenticated } = useAuth();
 *   return <div>{user?.first_name}</div>;
 * }
 *
 * // Selector pattern (optimized, re-renders only when selected value changes)
 * function UserName() {
 *   const user = useAuth(state => state.user);
 *   return <span>{user?.first_name}</span>;
 * }
 *
 * // In mutation callbacks (outside React render)
 * const handleLogin = async (data) => {
 *   const response = await loginAPI(data);
 *   // Use getState() directly for mutations (see useAuth.ts hooks)
 *   const setAuth = useAuthStore.getState().setAuth;
 *   await setAuth(response.user, response.token);
 * };
 * ```
 */
export function useAuth(): AuthState;
export function useAuth<T>(selector: (state: AuthState) => T): T;
export function useAuth<T>(selector?: (state: AuthState) => T): AuthState | T {
  const storeHook = useContext(AuthContext);

  if (!storeHook) {
    throw new Error("useAuth must be used within AuthProvider");
  }

  // CRITICAL: Call the Zustand hook internally (follows React Rules of Hooks)
  // This is the key difference from returning the hook function itself
  return selector ? storeHook(selector) : storeHook();
}
```

**Key Implementation Details**:
1. **Polymorphic Hook**: Supports both `useAuth()` and `useAuth(selector)` patterns
2. **Calls Hook Internally**: `storeHook()` is called inside `useAuth`, not by consumers
3. **Type Safety**: `AuthState` interface matches Zustand store exactly
4. **Window Global**: Type-safe extension for E2E test injection

**Verification**:
- Run: `npm run type-check`
- Verify: `AuthState` interface matches all Zustand store properties
- Check: No circular import warnings
- Verify: Polymorphic overloads work correctly

**Success Criteria**:
- [x] File created with correct implementation
- [x] TypeScript compiles without errors
- [x] Type inference works correctly
- [x] Hook calls Zustand hook internally (not returns it)

#### Task 1.2: Wrap Application Root
**File**: `src/app/layout.tsx` (MODIFY)

**Also**: `src/app/providers.tsx` (MODIFY) - Remove AuthInitializer from here
**Also**: `src/lib/stores/index.ts` (MODIFY) - Add barrel exports

**Step 1: Add imports to layout.tsx**:
```typescript
// At the top of layout.tsx, add these imports:
import { AuthProvider } from "@/lib/auth/AuthContext";
import { AuthInitializer } from "@/components/auth";
```

**Step 2: Wrap body content with AuthProvider**:
```typescript
export default function RootLayout({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en" suppressHydrationWarning>
      <head>
        {/* Theme initialization script stays here */}
        <script dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{...}} />
      </head>
      <body className={`${geistSans.variable} ${geistMono.variable} antialiased`}>
        <AuthProvider>
          <AuthInitializer />
          <Providers>{children}</Providers>
        </AuthProvider>
      </body>
    </html>
  );
}
```

**Step 3: Remove AuthInitializer from providers.tsx**:
```typescript
// In src/app/providers.tsx
// REMOVE this import:
- import { AuthInitializer } from '@/components/auth';

// REMOVE from JSX:
export function Providers({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <ThemeProvider>
      <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>
-       <AuthInitializer />  {/* ← REMOVE THIS LINE */}
        {children}
        {/* DevTools */}
      </QueryClientProvider>
    </ThemeProvider>
  );
}
```

**Step 4: Add barrel exports to stores/index.ts**:
```typescript
// At the end of src/lib/stores/index.ts, add:
// Authentication Context (DI wrapper for auth store)
export { useAuth, AuthProvider } from '../auth/AuthContext';
```

**Final Provider Tree Structure**:
```
AuthProvider                    ← Outermost (provides auth DI)
  ├─ AuthInitializer           ← Loads auth from storage
  └─ Providers
      └─ ThemeProvider
          └─ QueryClientProvider
              └─ {children}
```

**Verification Checklist**:
1. Run: `npm run type-check` - Should pass with 0 errors
2. Check imports: All imports resolve correctly
3. Start: `npm run dev` - Should start without errors
4. Navigate: `http://localhost:3000` - Page should load
5. Console: No errors or warnings
6. Network: Check no failed requests in dev tools
7. React DevTools: Verify provider tree structure

**Common Mistakes to Avoid**:
- ❌ Don't nest AuthProvider inside Providers (should be outside)
- ❌ Don't keep AuthInitializer in both places (only in layout.tsx)
- ❌ Don't forget to remove AuthInitializer import from providers.tsx
- ❌ Don't forget barrel exports in stores/index.ts

**Success Criteria**:
- [x] AuthProvider wraps Providers (correct nesting)
- [x] AuthInitializer placed correctly (after AuthProvider, before Providers)
- [x] App starts without crashing
- [x] Browser console is clean
- [x] TypeScript compiles with 0 errors
- [x] No hydration mismatches
- [x] Barrel exports added to stores/index.ts

---

### Phase 2: Migrate Core Auth Components

**IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE STARTING**:
1. AuthInitializer was already migrated in Phase 1 (placed correctly in layout.tsx)
2. Only migrate components that RENDER auth state (use `useAuth()`)
3. Do NOT migrate components that only UPDATE auth state in callbacks (those use `useAuthStore.getState()`)
4. Test each component individually before moving to the next

---

#### Task 2.1: Verify AuthInitializer (NO CHANGES NEEDED)
**File**: `src/components/auth/AuthInitializer.tsx` (ALREADY CORRECT)

**Current Implementation**:
```typescript
'use client';

import { useEffect } from 'react';
import { useAuthStore } from '@/lib/stores/authStore';

export function AuthInitializer() {
  const loadAuthFromStorage = useAuthStore((state) => state.loadAuthFromStorage);

  useEffect(() => {
    loadAuthFromStorage();
  }, [loadAuthFromStorage]);

  return null;
}
```

**Why This Is Correct**:
- ✅ AuthInitializer is now placed INSIDE AuthProvider (in layout.tsx)
- ✅ It can continue using `useAuthStore` directly because it's using a selector
- ✅ Alternative: Could use `useAuth(state => state.loadAuthFromStorage)` but not required

**Verification Only**:
1. Check file is unchanged: `src/components/auth/AuthInitializer.tsx`
2. Verify placement in layout.tsx: Should be `<AuthProvider><AuthInitializer /><Providers>...`
3. Run: `npm run type-check` - Should pass
4. Start dev server: `npm run dev`
5. Open browser console and check: No errors
6. Check Network tab: No failed auth requests

**Success Criteria**:
- [x] AuthInitializer is inside AuthProvider in layout.tsx
- [x] Component renders without errors
- [x] Auth loads from storage on page load (if tokens exist)
- [x] No infinite loops or re-renders

**Decision**: This task is verification only. If you want to migrate it for consistency, you can change the import to `useAuth`, but it's not required for functionality.

---

#### Task 2.2: Migrate AuthGuard Component

**File**: `src/components/auth/AuthGuard.tsx`

**IMPORTANT**: This component RENDERS auth state, so it MUST use `useAuth()` from Context.

**Step-by-Step Instructions**:

**Step 1: Read the current file**
```bash
cat src/components/auth/AuthGuard.tsx
```

Look for these specific patterns:
- Line with: `import { useAuthStore } from '@/lib/stores/authStore';`
- Line with: `const { ... } = useAuthStore();` (or similar)

**Step 2: Update the import (typically line ~2-5)**
```typescript
// FIND this line:
import { useAuthStore } from '@/lib/stores/authStore';

// REPLACE with:
import { useAuth } from '@/lib/stores';  // Using barrel export
// OR
import { useAuth } from '@/lib/auth/AuthContext';  // Direct import (both work)
```

**Step 3: Find ALL useAuthStore() calls and replace**

Typical patterns to find:
```typescript
// Pattern 1: Destructuring
const { isAuthenticated, isLoading, user } = useAuthStore();

// Pattern 2: With selector
const isAuthenticated = useAuthStore((state) => state.isAuthenticated);

// Pattern 3: Multiple calls
const user = useAuthStore((state) => state.user);
const isLoading = useAuthStore((state) => state.isLoading);
```

Replace with:
```typescript
// Pattern 1: Destructuring → Keep the same!
const { isAuthenticated, isLoading, user } = useAuth();

// Pattern 2: With selector → Keep the selector!
const isAuthenticated = useAuth((state) => state.isAuthenticated);

// Pattern 3: Multiple calls → Can be combined
const { user, isLoading } = useAuth();
// OR keep separate if you prefer:
const user = useAuth((state) => state.user);
const isLoading = useAuth((state) => state.isLoading);
```

**Step 4: Verify the changes**
1. Save the file
2. Run: `npm run type-check`
   - Should pass with 0 errors
   - If you see errors about "useAuth not found", check your import
3. Check: No other `useAuthStore` references remain in the file
   ```bash
   grep -n "useAuthStore" src/components/auth/AuthGuard.tsx
   # Should return no results (or only in comments)
   ```

**Step 5: Test in browser**
1. Start dev server: `npm run dev`
2. Test unauthenticated flow:
   - Clear browser storage: DevTools → Application → Clear all
   - Navigate to: `http://localhost:3000/settings/profile`
   - Expected: Redirect to `/login` or `/auth/login`
   - Console: No errors
3. Test authenticated flow:
   - Login with test credentials (if you have them)
   - Navigate to: `http://localhost:3000/settings/profile`
   - Expected: Page loads successfully, no redirect
   - Console: No errors
4. Check for infinite redirects:
   - Watch URL bar: Should not keep changing
   - Check console: Should not show repeated navigation messages

**Common Mistakes to Avoid**:
- ❌ Don't change the destructuring pattern - keep `const { user } = useAuth()`
- ❌ Don't add extra calls to `useAuth()()` - it's already called internally
- ❌ Don't use `useAuthStore.getState()` in this component (it renders state)
- ❌ Don't forget to update the import at the top
- ❌ Don't leave any `useAuthStore` references (except in comments)

**If You Encounter Errors**:
- "useAuth is not a function" → Check import path
- "useAuth must be used within AuthProvider" → Check layout.tsx has AuthProvider
- Type errors about return type → Make sure you're calling `useAuth()`, not `useAuth`
- Infinite redirects → Check your redirect logic hasn't changed

**Success Criteria**:
- [ ] Import changed from `useAuthStore` to `useAuth`
- [ ] All `useAuthStore()` calls replaced with `useAuth()`
- [ ] TypeScript compiles with 0 errors
- [ ] No `useAuthStore` references remain in file
- [ ] Unauthenticated users redirected to login
- [ ] Authenticated users see protected pages
- [ ] No infinite redirect loops
- [ ] No console errors

#### Task 2.3: Migrate Header Component

**File**: `src/components/layout/Header.tsx`

**IMPORTANT**: This component RENDERS user info, so it MUST use `useAuth()` from Context.

**Step-by-Step Instructions**:

**Step 1: Locate the file and read it**
```bash
# First, find the file (might be in different location)
find src -name "*Header*" -type f

# Then read it
cat src/components/layout/Header.tsx
```

**Step 2: Identify all auth usages**

Look for these patterns (write them down before changing):
```typescript
// Common pattern in Header:
const { user } = useAuthStore();
const isAuthenticated = useAuthStore((state) => state.isAuthenticated);

// Or might be:
const user = useAuthStore((state) => state.user);
const isAdmin = user?.is_superuser;
```

**Step 3: Update the import**
```typescript
// FIND (usually near top of file):
import { useAuthStore } from '@/lib/stores/authStore';

// REPLACE with:
import { useAuth } from '@/lib/stores';
```

**Step 4: Replace all useAuthStore calls**

**Example transformation**:
```typescript
// BEFORE:
export function Header() {
  const { user } = useAuthStore();
  const isAuthenticated = useAuthStore((state) => state.isAuthenticated);

  // ... component logic
}

// AFTER:
export function Header() {
  const { user, isAuthenticated } = useAuth();  // ✅ Combined into one call

  // ... component logic (no changes needed here)
}
```

**Alternative (with selectors for optimization)**:
```typescript
// If you want to optimize re-renders:
export function Header() {
  const user = useAuth((state) => state.user);
  const isAuthenticated = useAuth((state) => state.isAuthenticated);

  // ... component logic
}
```

**Step 5: Check for logout handler**

If Header has a logout function, it might look like:
```typescript
const handleLogout = async () => {
  await useAuthStore.getState().clearAuth();  // ✅ This is CORRECT - don't change!
  router.push('/login');
};
```

**IMPORTANT**: Do NOT change `useAuthStore.getState()` in event handlers! This is correct because:
- Event handlers run outside the React render cycle
- They don't need to re-render when state changes
- Using `getState()` directly is the recommended pattern

**Step 6: Verify changes**
1. Save file
2. Check for remaining references:
   ```bash
   grep -n "useAuthStore()" src/components/layout/Header.tsx
   # Should return no results (except useAuthStore.getState() which is OK)
   ```
3. Run type check:
   ```bash
   npm run type-check
   ```
   Should pass with 0 errors

**Step 7: Test in browser**
1. Start dev server if not running: `npm run dev`
2. Navigate to home page: `http://localhost:3000`
3. Test unauthenticated state:
   - Clear storage: DevTools → Application → Clear all
   - Refresh page
   - Header should show: Login/Register buttons (or unauthenticated state)
   - No errors in console
4. Test authenticated state:
   - Login with credentials
   - Header should show:
     - User avatar with initials (e.g., "JD" for John Doe)
     - User name in dropdown
     - Email in dropdown
     - Logout button
   - Click dropdown: Should open/close correctly
5. Test logout:
   - Click logout button
   - Should redirect to login page
   - Header should return to unauthenticated state
   - No errors in console
6. Test admin features (if applicable):
   - Login as admin/superuser
   - Header should show "Admin" link or badge
   - Click admin link: Should navigate to admin area
7. Check for re-render issues:
   - Open React DevTools → Components
   - Find Header component
   - Watch for excessive re-renders (should only render on auth state change)

**Common Mistakes to Avoid**:
- ❌ Don't change `useAuthStore.getState()` in event handlers - that's correct!
- ❌ Don't add empty dependency arrays to useAuth() - it's not useEffect
- ❌ Don't call useAuth() conditionally - it's a hook, must be at top level
- ❌ Don't use `useAuth()()` (double call) - the hook calls internally
- ❌ Don't remove optional chaining (`user?.name`) - user can be null

**If You Encounter Errors**:
- "Cannot read property 'name' of null" → Add optional chaining: `user?.name`
- "useAuth is not a function" → Check import statement
- Type error on user properties → Make sure User type is imported if needed
- Dropdown not working → Check event handlers weren't accidentally modified
- Avatar not showing → Check you didn't change the avatar logic (only hook calls)

**Verification Checklist**:
- [ ] Import updated to `useAuth`
- [ ] All `useAuthStore()` calls replaced (except `getState()` in handlers)
- [ ] TypeScript compiles with 0 errors
- [ ] ESLint passes with 0 warnings
- [ ] Unauthenticated: Shows login/register UI
- [ ] Authenticated: Shows user info correctly
- [ ] Avatar displays correct initials
- [ ] Dropdown opens/closes properly
- [ ] Logout button works
- [ ] Admin link shows/hides based on user role
- [ ] No console errors
- [ ] No excessive re-renders (check React DevTools)

**Success Criteria**:
- [ ] All render state uses `useAuth()`
- [ ] Event handlers still use `useAuthStore.getState()` (if present)
- [ ] Component behavior unchanged
- [ ] No visual regressions
- [ ] Performance unchanged (no extra re-renders)

### Phase 3: Migrate Auth Hooks

#### Task 3.1: Migrate useAuth.ts Hook
**File**: `src/lib/api/hooks/useAuth.ts` (MODIFY)

**Strategy**:
- Keep `import { useAuthStore } from '@/lib/stores/authStore'` for mutation callbacks
- Add `import { useAuth } from '@/lib/auth/AuthContext'` for render hooks
- Mutations use `useAuthStore.getState()` (outside render)
- Render hooks use `useAuth()` (inside render)

**Changes**:

```typescript
import { useAuthStore } from '@/lib/stores/authStore'; // For getState()
import { useAuth } from '@/lib/auth/AuthContext'; // For render hooks

// Mutations stay the same (use getState())
export function useLogin() {
  return useMutation({
    mutationFn: async (data) => {
      const response = await loginAPI(data);
      const setAuth = useAuthStore.getState().setAuth; // ✅ OK
      await setAuth(response.user, response.access_token, response.refresh_token, response.expires_in);
    },
  });
}

export function useRegister() {
  return useMutation({
    mutationFn: async (data) => {
      const response = await registerAPI(data);
      const setAuth = useAuthStore.getState().setAuth; // ✅ OK
      await setAuth(response.user, response.access_token, response.refresh_token, response.expires_in);
    },
  });
}

export function useLogout() {
  return useMutation({
    mutationFn: async () => {
      const { clearAuth, refreshToken } = useAuthStore.getState(); // ✅ OK
      if (refreshToken) await logoutAPI(refreshToken);
      await clearAuth();
    },
  });
}

export function useLogoutAll() {
  return useMutation({
    mutationFn: async () => {
      await logoutAllAPI();
      const clearAuth = useAuthStore.getState().clearAuth; // ✅ OK
      await clearAuth();
    },
  });
}

// Render hooks use Context
export function useIsAuthenticated() {
  const store = useAuth();
  return store((state) => state.isAuthenticated);
}

export function useCurrentUser() {
  const store = useAuth();
  return store((state) => state.user);
}

export function useIsAdmin() {
  const user = useCurrentUser();
  return user?.is_superuser ?? false;
}
```

**Verification**:
- Run: `npm run type-check`
- Test login flow: Login with valid credentials
- Test registration: Register new user
- Test logout: Logout from header
- Test render hooks: Check `useIsAuthenticated()` and `useCurrentUser()` in components

**Success Criteria**:
- [ ] TypeScript compiles
- [ ] Login works end-to-end
- [ ] Registration works and auto-logs in
- [ ] Logout clears state and redirects
- [ ] `useIsAuthenticated()` returns correct value
- [ ] `useCurrentUser()` returns correct user object
- [ ] No console errors

---

#### Task 3.2: Migrate useUser.ts Hook
**File**: `src/lib/api/hooks/useUser.ts` (MODIFY)

**Strategy**: Use `getState()` in mutation callback

**Before**:
```typescript
import { useAuthStore } from '@/lib/stores/authStore';

const setUser = useAuthStore((state) => state.setUser);
```

**After**:
```typescript
import { useAuthStore } from '@/lib/stores/authStore';

export function useUpdateProfile() {
  return useMutation({
    mutationFn: async (data) => {
      const response = await updateProfileAPI(data);
      const setUser = useAuthStore.getState().setUser;
      setUser(response.data);
      return response;
    },
  });
}
```

**Verification**:
- Run: `npm run type-check`
- Navigate to `/settings/profile`
- Update first name from "Test" to "Updated"
- Check header immediately shows "Updated User"
- Refresh page - should still show "Updated User"

**Success Criteria**:
- [ ] TypeScript compiles
- [ ] Profile update syncs to header immediately
- [ ] User state persists after refresh
- [ ] No console errors

---

### Phase 4: Verify API Client Interceptors

#### Task 4.1: Review client.ts
**File**: `src/lib/api/client.ts` (NO CHANGES)

**Current Implementation**:
```typescript
async function getAuthStore() {
  const { useAuthStore } = await import('@/lib/stores/authStore');
  return useAuthStore.getState();
}
```

**Decision**: No changes needed. Interceptors run outside React render cycle, using `getState()` directly is correct and clean.

**Verification**:
- Run: `npm run type-check`
- Test token refresh:
  1. Login
  2. Manually expire token in devtools: `localStorage.getItem('auth_tokens')` → decrypt → change `exp` to past time
  3. Make API call (update profile)
  4. Check Network tab: Should see `/api/v1/auth/refresh` call
  5. Subsequent calls should use new token
- Test 401 handling:
  1. Manually corrupt access token in localStorage
  2. Make API call
  3. Should redirect to login

**Success Criteria**:
- [ ] TypeScript compiles
- [ ] Token refresh works automatically
- [ ] 401 errors redirect to login
- [ ] No infinite refresh loops
- [ ] Refresh token API called exactly once per expiration

(useAuthStore as jest.Mock).mockReturnValue({ user: mockUser });
```

**After**:
```typescript
jest.mock('@/lib/auth/AuthContext', () => ({
  useAuth: jest.fn(),
}));

- Run: `npm test page.test.tsx`
- Verify: Page renders without errors
- Check: Coverage maintained

**Success Criteria**:
- [ ] All tests pass
- [ ] Coverage maintained
- [ ] Page renders correctly with mock user

---

### Phase 7: Implement E2E Test Support

---

### Phase 10: Documentation

#### Task 10.1: Update Project Documentation
**File**: `CLAUDE.md` (MODIFY)

**Section to Add** (in "Key Architectural Patterns"):

```markdown
### Authentication Context Pattern

The authentication system uses **Zustand for state management** wrapped in **React Context for dependency injection**. This provides the best of both worlds: Zustand's excellent performance and developer experience, with React Context's testability.

#### Architecture Overview

```
Component → useAuth() → AuthContext → Zustand Store → Storage Layer → Crypto (AES-GCM)
                            ↓
                    Injectable for tests
```

#### Usage Patterns

**For Components (rendering auth state):**
```typescript
import { useAuth } from '@/lib/auth/AuthContext';

function MyComponent() {
  const { user, isAuthenticated } = useAuth();

  if (!isAuthenticated) {
    return <div>Please log in</div>;
  }

  return <div>Hello, {user?.first_name}!</div>;
}
```

**For Mutation Callbacks (updating auth state):**
```typescript
import { useAuthStore } from '@/lib/stores/authStore';

export function useCustomMutation() {
  return useMutation({
    mutationFn: async (data) => {
      const response = await api.call(data);

      // Access store directly in callback (outside render)
      const setAuth = useAuthStore.getState().setAuth;
      await setAuth(response.user, response.token);
    },
  });
}
```

**For E2E Tests:**
```typescript
import { setupAuthenticatedMocks } from './helpers/auth';

test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
  await setupAuthenticatedMocks(page); // Injects mock auth store
  await page.goto('/protected-route');
});

test('should access protected page', async ({ page }) => {
  await expect(page).toHaveURL('/protected-route'); // No redirect!
});
```

#### Why This Architecture?

**Benefits:**
- ✅ **Testable**: E2E tests can inject mock stores
- ✅ **Performant**: Zustand handles state efficiently, Context is just a thin wrapper
- ✅ **Type-safe**: Full TypeScript inference throughout
- ✅ **Maintainable**: Clear separation of concerns (Context = DI, Zustand = state)
- ✅ **Extensible**: Easy to add auth events, middleware, logging

**Trade-offs:**
- Slightly more boilerplate (need AuthProvider wrapper)
- Two ways to access store (Context for components, getState() for callbacks)

#### Files Structure

```
src/
├── lib/
│   ├── auth/
│   │   ├── AuthContext.tsx     # Context provider and useAuth hook
│   │   ├── storage.ts          # Token storage (AES-GCM encrypted)

│       └── AuthInitializer.tsx # Loads auth from storage on mount
└── app/
    └── layout.tsx              # Root layout with AuthProvider
```

#### Common Patterns

**Conditional Rendering Based on Auth:**
```typescript
function MyPage() {
  const { isAuthenticated, isLoading } = useAuth();

  if (isLoading) return <Spinner />;
  if (!isAuthenticated) return <LoginPrompt />;

  return <ProtectedContent />;
}
```

**Admin-Only Features:**
```typescript
import { useIsAdmin } from '@/lib/api/hooks/useAuth';

function AdminPanel() {
  const isAdmin = useIsAdmin();

  if (!isAdmin) return <AccessDenied />;

  return <AdminDashboard />;
}
```

**Mutation with Auth Update:**
```typescript
export function useUpdateProfile() {
  return useMutation({
    mutationFn: async (data: ProfileUpdate) => {
      const response = await updateProfileAPI(data);

      // Sync updated user to auth store
      const setUser = useAuthStore.getState().setUser;
      setUser(response.data);

      return response;
    },
  });
}
```

#### Testing Patterns

**Unit Tests (Jest):**
```typescript
import { useAuth } from '@/lib/auth/AuthContext';

jest.mock('@/lib/auth/AuthContext', () => ({
  useAuth: jest.fn(),
}));

test('renders user name', () => {
  (useAuth as jest.Mock).mockReturnValue({
    user: { first_name: 'John', last_name: 'Doe' },
    isAuthenticated: true,
  });

  render(<MyComponent />);
  expect(screen.getByText('John Doe')).toBeInTheDocument();
});
```

**E2E Tests (Playwright):**
```typescript
import { setupAuthenticatedMocks } from './helpers/auth';

test.describe('Protected Pages', () => {
  test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
    // Inject authenticated mock store before navigation
    await setupAuthenticatedMocks(page);
  });

  test('should display user profile', async ({ page }) => {
    await page.goto('/settings/profile');

    // No redirect to login - already authenticated via mock
    await expect(page).toHaveURL('/settings/profile');
    await expect(page.locator('input[name="email"]')).toHaveValue('test@example.com');
  });
});
```

#### Migration Notes

This architecture was introduced to enable E2E testing of authenticated flows. Previously, E2E tests could not mock the Zustand singleton, making it impossible to test protected routes without a running backend.

**Migration Date**: November 2025
**Migration Reason**: Enable full E2E test coverage for authenticated user flows
**Breaking Changes**: None (internal refactor only)
```

**Success Criteria**:
- [ ] Documentation added to CLAUDE.md
- [ ] All patterns explained clearly
- [ ] Examples are accurate and tested
- [ ] Migration notes included

**File**: `frontend/README.md` or `README.md` (MODIFY IF EXISTS)

**Section to Add**:

```markdown
## Authentication System

This project uses a hybrid authentication architecture combining Zustand for state management and React Context for dependency injection.

### Key Features

- 🔐 JWT-based authentication with refresh tokens
- 🔒 AES-GCM encrypted token storage
- 🛡️ Session tracking with device information
- ⚡ Automatic token refresh
- 🧪 Fully testable (unit + E2E)

### For Developers

**Accessing Auth State in Components:**
```typescript
import { useAuth } from '@/lib/auth/AuthContext';

const { user, isAuthenticated } = useAuth();
```

**Mutations (login, logout, etc.):**
```typescript
import { useLogin, useLogout } from '@/lib/api/hooks/useAuth';

const login = useLogin();
const logout = useLogout();
```

**Writing E2E Tests:**
```typescript
import { setupAuthenticatedMocks } from './helpers/auth';

await setupAuthenticatedMocks(page);
await page.goto('/protected-route');
```

See `CLAUDE.md` for complete documentation.

## Summary

Migrates authentication system from direct Zustand singleton usage to Context-based dependency injection pattern. This enables full E2E test coverage for authenticated user flows without requiring a running backend or complex mocking.

## Motivation

Previously, E2E tests could not establish authenticated state because:
- Zustand store was a module-level singleton (not injectable)
- Token storage required AES-GCM encryption setup
- AuthInitializer would overwrite any test mocks

This resulted in 45 failing E2E tests for settings pages, leaving gaps in test coverage.

## Solution

Introduced React Context wrapper around Zustand store that:
- Provides dependency injection point for tests
- Maintains all existing security and performance characteristics
- Requires zero changes to business logic
- Follows React best practices

---

## Rollback Plan

### Phase 1-2 Failure (Context Creation)
**Symptom**: App won't start or Context errors
**Action**:
```bash
git checkout src/app/layout.tsx
rm src/lib/auth/AuthContext.tsx
git clean -fd
```

### Phase 3-4 Failure (Component Migration)
**Symptom**: Components break or auth stops working
**Action**:
```bash
git checkout src/components/
git checkout src/lib/api/hooks/
```

### Phase 5-6 Failure (Tests)
**Symptom**: Tests failing, cannot fix mock patterns
**Action**: Investigate and fix before proceeding. Do NOT move forward with failing tests.

### Phase 7 Failure (E2E Tests)
**Symptom**: E2E tests still failing, mock not working
**Action**: Debug in isolation:
1. Check `__TEST_AUTH_STORE__` in browser console
2. Verify AuthContext picks up test store
3. Ensure all mock methods implemented
4. Check timing of injection (must be before navigation)

### Complete Rollback
**Action**: Delete feature branch
```bash
git checkout main
git branch -D feature/auth-context-di-migration
git push origin --delete feature/auth-context-di-migration
```

## Risk Mitigation

### Identified Risks

**Risk 1: Context Not Available in Tests**
- **Likelihood**: Medium
- **Impact**: High (tests fail)
- **Mitigation**: Use proper mock pattern at module level
- **Contingency**: Review existing test patterns in codebase

**Risk 2: Infinite Re-renders**
- **Likelihood**: Low
- **Impact**: High (app unusable)
- **Mitigation**: Ensure Context value is stable (not recreated on every render)
- **Contingency**: Add React DevTools profiler, check render counts

**Risk 3: Token Refresh Breaks**
- **Likelihood**: Low
- **Impact**: High (users logged out unexpectedly)
- **Mitigation**: Verify `client.ts` continues using `getState()` correctly
- **Contingency**: Extensive manual testing of token expiration flow

**Risk 4: E2E Tests Still Fail**
- **Likelihood**: Medium
- **Impact**: High (migration objective not met)
- **Mitigation**: Test injection pattern in isolation first
- **Contingency**: Rollback and reconsider approach (possibly Option 4 from original analysis)

**Risk 5: Performance Regression**
- **Likelihood**: Low
- **Impact**: Medium (slower app)
- **Mitigation**: Context value is stable, no extra re-renders
- **Contingency**: Profile with React DevTools, optimize selectors if needed

### Risk Monitoring

Monitor throughout implementation:
- TypeScript compiler output
- Test execution results
- Browser console (errors, warnings)
- Network tab (API calls)
- React DevTools (re-render counts)

## Communication Plan

### Before Starting
- [ ] Notify team of upcoming auth refactor
- [ ] Block calendar for focused implementation time
- [ ] Ensure no conflicting PRs in flight

### During Implementation
- [ ] Update team after completing each phase
- [ ] Flag blockers immediately in team chat
- [ ] Request code review early if uncertain

### After Completion
- [ ] Demo working E2E tests to team
- [ ] Share PR for review
- [ ] Schedule walkthrough of new architecture (if needed)
- [ ] Update team documentation/wiki

---

## Post-Migration

### Monitoring

**First Week After Merge**:
- Monitor for auth-related bug reports
- Check error logging for new auth errors
- Verify E2E test suite remains stable in CI
- Watch for performance issues

**What to Watch For**:
- Unexpected logouts
- Token refresh failures
- E2E test flakiness
- User complaints about auth flow

### Future Enhancements Enabled

This architecture enables:
- **Auth Events**: Add event bus for login/logout events
- **Middleware**: Add auth action middleware (logging, analytics)
- **A/B Testing**: Test different auth flows by swapping stores
- **Multi-Auth**: Support multiple auth providers (OAuth, SAML, etc.)
- **Observability**: Easy to add auth state debugging tools

### Maintenance Notes

**For Future Developers**:
- Always use `useAuth()` in components that render auth state
- Use `useAuthStore.getState()` in mutation callbacks
- Never try to modify AuthContext - it's just DI layer
- All business logic stays in Zustand store
- See CLAUDE.md for complete patterns
