Frontend Implementation Plan: Next.js + FastAPI Template
Last Updated: November 2, 2025 (Design System + Optimization Plan Added) Current Phase: Phase 2.5 COMPLETE ✅ (Design System) | Phase 3 Optimization Next Overall Progress: 2.5 of 13 phases complete (19.2%)
Summary
Build a production-ready Next.js 15 frontend with full authentication, admin dashboard, user/organization management, and session tracking. The frontend integrates with the existing FastAPI backend using OpenAPI-generated clients, TanStack Query for state, Zustand for auth, and shadcn/ui components.
Target: 90%+ test coverage, comprehensive documentation, and robust foundations for enterprise projects.
Current State: Phase 2 authentication + Design System complete with 282 unit tests + 92 E2E tests, 97.57% unit coverage, zero build/lint/type errors
Target State: Complete template matching frontend-requirements.md with all 12 phases
Implementation Directives (MUST FOLLOW)
Documentation-First Approach
- Phase 0 created
/docsfolder with all architecture, standards, and guides ✅ - ALL subsequent phases MUST reference and follow patterns in
/docs - If context is lost,
/docs+ this file +frontend-requirements.mdare sufficient to resume
Quality Assurance Protocol
1. Per-Task Quality Standards (MANDATORY):
- Quality over Speed: Each task developed carefully, no rushing
- Review Cycles: Minimum 3 review-fix cycles per task before completion
- Test Coverage: Maintain >80% coverage at all times
- Test Pass Rate: 100% of tests MUST pass (no exceptions)
- If tests fail, task is NOT complete
- Failed tests = incomplete implementation
- Do not proceed until all tests pass
- Standards Compliance: Zero violations of
/docs/CODING_STANDARDS.md
2. After Each Task:
- All tests passing (100% pass rate)
- Coverage >80% for new code
- TypeScript: 0 errors
- ESLint: 0 warnings
- Self-review cycle 1: Code quality
- Self-review cycle 2: Security & accessibility
- Self-review cycle 3: Performance & standards compliance
- Documentation updated
- IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md status updated
3. After Each Phase: Launch multi-agent deep review to:
- Verify phase objectives met
- Check integration with previous phases
- Identify critical issues requiring immediate fixes
- Recommend improvements before proceeding
- Update documentation if patterns evolved
- Generate phase review report (e.g.,
PHASE_X_REVIEW.md)
4. Testing Requirements:
- Write tests alongside feature code (not after)
- Unit tests: All hooks, utilities, services
- Component tests: All reusable components
- Integration tests: All pages and flows
- E2E tests: Critical user journeys (auth, admin CRUD)
- Target: 90%+ coverage for template robustness
- 100% pass rate required - no failing tests allowed
- Use Jest + React Testing Library + Playwright
5. Context Preservation:
- Update
/docswith implementation decisions - Document deviations from requirements in
ARCHITECTURE.md - Keep
frontend-requirements.mdupdated if backend changes - Update THIS FILE after each phase with actual progress
- Create phase review reports for historical reference

Phase 3: Performance & Architecture Optimization 📋
Status: TODO 📋 Prerequisites: Phase 2.5 complete ✅ Priority: CRITICAL - Must complete before Phase 4 feature development
Summary: Multi-agent comprehensive review identified performance bottlenecks, architectural inconsistencies, code duplication, and optimization opportunities. These issues must be addressed before proceeding with Phase 4 feature development to ensure a solid foundation.
Review Findings Summary
Performance Issues Identified:
- AuthInitializer blocks render (300-400ms overhead)
- Theme FOUC (Flash of Unstyled Content) - 50-100ms + CLS
- React Query aggressive refetching (unnecessary network calls)
- Bundle size optimization opportunities (+71KB on auth pages)
- useMe() waterfall pattern (200-300ms sequential fetching)
Architecture Issues:
- Stores location violation:
src/stores/should besrc/lib/stores/ - ThemeProvider uses Context instead of documented Zustand pattern
- 6 files with incorrect import paths after stores move
Code Duplication:
- 150+ lines duplicated across 4 auth form components
- Password validation schema duplicated 3 times
- Form field rendering pattern duplicated 12+ times
- Error handling logic duplicated in multiple places
Bugs & Issues:
- Token refresh race condition (theoretical, low probability)
- Missing setTimeout cleanup in password reset hook
- Several medium-severity issues
- Console.log statements in production code
Task 3.1: Critical Performance Fixes (Priority 1)
Estimated Impact: +20-25 Lighthouse points, 300-500ms faster load times
Task 3.1.1: Optimize AuthInitializer
Impact: -300-400ms render blocking Complexity: Low Risk: Low
Current Problem:
useEffect(() => {
loadAuthFromStorage(); // Blocks render, reads localStorage synchronously
}, []);
Solution:
- Remove AuthInitializer component entirely
- Use Zustand persist middleware for automatic hydration
- Storage reads happen before React hydration
- No render blocking
Files to Change:
src/stores/authStore.ts- Add persist middlewaresrc/app/providers.tsx- Remove AuthInitializertests/components/auth/AuthInitializer.test.tsx- Delete tests
Testing Required:
- Verify auth state persists across page reloads
- Verify SSR compatibility
- Update existing tests
- No coverage regression
Task 3.1.2: Fix Theme FOUC
Impact: -50-100ms FOUC, eliminates CLS Complexity: Low Risk: Low
Current Problem:
- ThemeProvider reads localStorage in useEffect (after render)
- Causes flash of wrong theme
- Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) penalty
Solution:
- Add inline
<script>in<head>to set theme before render - Script reads localStorage and applies theme class immediately
- ThemeProvider becomes read-only consumer
Implementation:
<!-- In app/layout.tsx <head> -->
<script dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{__html: `
(function() {
try {
const theme = localStorage.getItem('theme') || 'system';
const resolved = theme === 'system'
? window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches ? 'dark' : 'light'
: theme;
document.documentElement.classList.add(resolved);
} catch (e) {}
})();
`}} />
Files to Change:
src/app/layout.tsx- Add inline scriptsrc/components/theme/ThemeProvider.tsx- Simplify to read-onlytests/components/theme/ThemeProvider.test.tsx- Update tests
Testing Required:
- Verify no FOUC on page load
- Verify SSR compatibility
- Test localStorage edge cases
- Update E2E tests
Task 3.1.3: Optimize React Query Config
Impact: -40-60% unnecessary network calls Complexity: Low Risk: Low
Current Problem:
const queryClient = new QueryClient({
defaultOptions: {
queries: {
refetchOnWindowFocus: true, // Too aggressive
refetchOnReconnect: true,
refetchOnMount: true,
}
}
});
Solution:
- Disable
refetchOnWindowFocus(unnecessary for most data) - Keep
refetchOnReconnectfor session data - Use selective refetching with query keys
- Add staleTime for user data (5 minutes)
Files to Change:
src/app/providers.tsx- Update QueryClient configsrc/lib/api/hooks/useAuth.ts- Add staleTime to useMe
Testing Required:
- Verify data still updates when needed
- Test refetch behavior on reconnect
- Test staleTime doesn't break logout
- Network tab verification
Task 3.2: Architecture & Code Quality (Priority 2)
Estimated Impact: Better maintainability, -30KB bundle size
Task 3.2.1: Fix Stores Location
Impact: Architecture compliance Complexity: Low Risk: Low
Current Problem:
- Stores in
src/stores/instead ofsrc/lib/stores/ - Violates CLAUDE.md architecture guidelines
- 6 files with incorrect import paths
Solution:
mv src/stores src/lib/stores
Files to Update:
src/components/auth/AuthGuard.tsxsrc/components/auth/LoginForm.tsxsrc/components/auth/RegisterForm.tsxsrc/components/layout/Header.tsxsrc/lib/api/hooks/useAuth.tstests/components/layout/Header.test.tsx
Testing Required:
- All tests must still pass
- No import errors
- TypeScript compilation clean
Task 3.2.2: Extract Shared Form Components
Impact: -150 lines of duplication, better maintainability Complexity: Medium Risk: Low
Current Problem:
- Form field rendering duplicated 12+ times
- Password validation schema duplicated 3 times
- Error display logic duplicated
- Password strength indicator duplicated
Solution: Create reusable components:
// src/components/forms/FormField.tsx
// src/components/forms/PasswordInput.tsx (with strength indicator)
// src/components/forms/PasswordStrengthMeter.tsx
// src/lib/validation/passwordSchema.ts (shared schema)
Files to Refactor:
src/components/auth/LoginForm.tsxsrc/components/auth/RegisterForm.tsxsrc/components/auth/PasswordResetConfirmForm.tsxsrc/components/auth/PasswordChangeForm.tsx(future)
Testing Required:
- All form tests must still pass
- Visual regression testing
- Accessibility unchanged
- Coverage maintained
Task 3.2.3: Code Split Heavy Components
Impact: -30KB initial bundle Complexity: Medium Risk: Low
Current Problem:
- Radix UI dropdown loaded eagerly (18KB)
- Recharts loaded on auth pages (not needed)
- ComponentShowcase increases bundle size
Solution:
// Dynamic imports for heavy components
const ComponentShowcase = dynamic(() => import('@/components/dev/ComponentShowcase'), {
loading: () => <div>Loading...</div>
});
// Code split Radix dropdown
const DropdownMenu = dynamic(() => import('@/components/ui/dropdown-menu'));
Files to Change:
src/app/dev/components/page.tsx- Dynamic import showcasesrc/components/layout/Header.tsx- Dynamic dropdownsrc/components/theme/ThemeToggle.tsx- Dynamic dropdown
Testing Required:
- Bundle size analysis (next build)
- Loading states work correctly
- No hydration errors
- E2E tests still pass
Task 3.3: Polish & Bug Fixes (Priority 3)
Estimated Impact: Production-ready code, zero known issues
Task 3.3.1: Fix Token Refresh Race Condition
Impact: Prevents rare authentication failures Complexity: Low Risk: Low
Current Problem:
// Two requests at same time can trigger double refresh
let refreshPromise: Promise<string> | null = null;
if (!refreshPromise) {
refreshPromise = refreshTokens(); // Race condition here
}
Solution:
// Use atomic check-and-set
let refreshPromise: Promise<string> | null = null;
// Atomic operation
const getOrCreateRefresh = () => {
if (refreshPromise) return refreshPromise;
refreshPromise = refreshTokens().finally(() => {
refreshPromise = null;
});
return refreshPromise;
};
Files to Change:
src/lib/api/client.ts- Improve refresh logic
Testing Required:
- Concurrent request simulation
- Race condition test case
- Existing tests unchanged
Task 3.3.2: Fix Medium Severity Issues
Impact: Code quality, maintainability Complexity: Low Risk: Low
Issues to Fix:
- Missing setTimeout cleanup in password reset hook
- AuthInitializer dependency array (if not removed in 1A)
- Any ESLint warnings in production build
- Type assertions that could be improved
Files to Review:
src/lib/api/hooks/useAuth.tssrc/components/auth/AuthInitializer.tsx(or remove in 1A)- Run
npm run lintfor full list
Testing Required:
- Memory leak testing (timeout cleanup)
- All tests passing
- No new warnings
Task 3.3.3: Remove console.log in Production
Impact: Clean console, smaller bundle Complexity: Low Risk: Low
Solution:
// Replace all console.log with conditional logging
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
console.log('Debug info:', data);
}
// Or use a logger utility
import { logger } from '@/lib/utils/logger';
logger.debug('Info', data); // Only logs in development
Files to Change:
- Search codebase for
console.log - Create
src/lib/utils/logger.tsif needed
Testing Required:
- Production build verification
- Development logging still works
- No regressions
