Frontend Implementation Plan: Next.js + FastAPI Template

Last Updated: November 2, 2025 (Phase 3 Optimization COMPLETE ) Current Phase: Phase 3 COMPLETE (Performance & Optimization) | Phase 4 Next Overall Progress: 3 of 13 phases complete (23.1%)


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: Phases 0-3 complete with 381 unit tests + 92 E2E tests (100% pass rate), 98.63% coverage, Lighthouse Performance 100%, 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 /docs folder 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.md are 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 /docs with implementation decisions
  • Document deviations from requirements in ARCHITECTURE.md
  • Keep frontend-requirements.md updated 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: COMPLETE (8/9 tasks complete - AuthInitializer deferred) Started: November 2, 2025 Completed: November 2, 2025 Duration: <1 day Prerequisites: Phase 2.5 complete

Summary: Comprehensive performance and architecture optimization phase. Achieved exceptional results with 98.63% test coverage (up from 97.57%), all 473 tests passing (381 unit + 92 E2E), and Lighthouse Performance: 100% in production build. Fixed critical race condition in token refresh logic and ensured all console.log statements are production-safe. AuthInitializer optimization deferred as current implementation is stable and performant.

Final State (Completed Nov 2, 2025)

COMPLETED (8/9 tasks):

  1. Theme FOUC fixed - inline script in layout.tsx (Task 3.1.2)
  2. React Query optimized - refetchOnWindowFocus disabled, staleTime added (Task 3.1.3)
  3. Stores in correct location - src/lib/stores/ (Task 3.2.1)
  4. Shared form components - FormField, useFormError created (Task 3.2.2)
  5. Code splitting - all auth pages use dynamic() imports (Task 3.2.3)
  6. Token refresh race condition FIXED - removed TOCTOU race condition (Task 3.3.1)
  7. console.log cleanup - all 6 statements production-safe (Task 3.3.3)
  8. Medium severity issues - all resolved (Task 3.3.2)

⏸️ DEFERRED (1 task):

  1. ⏸️ AuthInitializer optimization - deferred (Task 3.1.1)
    • Current: useEffect loads auth from storage (~300-400ms)
    • Reason: Previous attempt failed, current implementation stable
    • Status: Working reliably, all tests passing, Lighthouse 100%
    • Decision: Defer to future optimization phase

Final Metrics:

  • Test Coverage: 98.63% ⬆️ (improved from 97.57%)
  • Unit Tests: 381/381 passing (100%)
  • E2E Tests: 92/92 passing (100%)
  • Lighthouse Performance: 100% (production build)
  • TypeScript: 0 errors
  • ESLint: 0 warnings
  • Build: PASSING

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 ⏸️ DEFERRED

Status: ⏸️ DEFERRED (Current implementation stable and performant) Impact: -300-400ms render blocking (theoretical) Complexity: Medium-High (previous attempt failed) Risk: High (auth system critical, 473 tests currently passing) Decision Date: November 2, 2025

Deferral Rationale:

  1. Previous attempt failed - Unknown root cause, needs investigation
  2. Current implementation stable - All 473 tests passing (381 unit + 92 E2E)
  3. Lighthouse 100% - Already achieved maximum performance score
  4. Test coverage excellent - 98.63% coverage
  5. Production-ready - Zero known issues, zero TypeScript/ESLint errors
  6. Risk vs Reward - High risk of breaking auth for minimal real-world gain

Current Implementation:

useEffect(() => {
  loadAuthFromStorage(); // Works reliably, ~300-400ms
}, []);

Potential Future Solution (when revisited):

  • Remove AuthInitializer component entirely
  • Use Zustand persist middleware for automatic hydration
  • Storage reads happen before React hydration
  • Requires thorough investigation of previous failure

Revisit Conditions:

  • User reports noticeable auth loading delays in production
  • Lighthouse performance drops below 95%
  • Understanding of previous failure is documented

Task 3.1.2: Fix Theme FOUC COMPLETE

Status: COMPLETE (Implemented in Phase 2.5) Impact: -50-100ms FOUC eliminated, CLS removed Completed: November 2, 2025

Implementation: Inline <script> added to src/app/layout.tsx (lines 33-56):

  • Reads localStorage before React hydration
  • Applies theme class immediately
  • No flash of wrong theme
  • ThemeProvider now reads from DOM, doesn't write

Verification:

<!-- 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 script
  • src/components/theme/ThemeProvider.tsx - Simplify to read-only
  • tests/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 COMPLETE

Status: COMPLETE (Implemented in Phase 2.5) Impact: -40-60% unnecessary network calls eliminated Completed: November 2, 2025

Implementation in src/app/providers.tsx:

new QueryClient({
  defaultOptions: {
    queries: {
      staleTime: 60 * 1000, // 1 minute
      retry: 1,
      refetchOnWindowFocus: false, // ✅ Disabled
      refetchOnReconnect: true, // ✅ Kept for session data
    }
  }
})

Verification:

  • Reduced unnecessary refetches
  • Session data still updates on reconnect
  • All tests passing

Task 3.2: Architecture & Code Quality (Priority 2)

  • src/components/auth/LoginForm.tsx - uses @/lib/stores/authStore
  • src/components/layout/Header.tsx - uses @/lib/stores/authStore
  • src/lib/api/hooks/useAuth.ts - uses @/lib/stores/authStore
  • All test files - correct paths verified

Task 3.2.2: Extract Shared Form Components COMPLETE

Status: COMPLETE (Already implemented) Impact: -150 lines of duplication, better maintainability Complexity: Medium Risk: Low Completed: November 2, 2025 (During Phase 2.5)

Implementation: Shared form components already created:

  • src/components/forms/FormField.tsx - Reusable field with label, error, accessibility
  • src/hooks/useFormError.ts - Shared error handling hook
  • All auth forms using shared components
  • 13 comprehensive unit tests for FormField
  • Accessibility attributes (aria-required, aria-invalid, aria-describedby)

Verification:

// FormField props interface
export interface FormFieldProps {
  label: string;
  name?: string;
  required?: boolean;
  error?: FieldError;
  description?: string;
  children?: ReactNode;
}

Forms Using Shared Components:

  • All auth form tests passing
  • Coverage maintained at 97.57%

Task 3.2.3: Code Split Heavy Components COMPLETE

Status: COMPLETE (Already implemented) Impact: -30KB initial bundle Complexity: Medium Risk: Low Completed: November 2, 2025 (During Phase 2)

Implementation: All auth pages already use code splitting with dynamic imports:

  • src/app/(auth)/login/page.tsx - LoginForm dynamically imported
  • src/app/(auth)/register/page.tsx - RegisterForm dynamically imported
  • src/app/(auth)/password-reset/page.tsx - PasswordResetRequestForm dynamically imported
  • src/app/(auth)/password-reset/confirm/page.tsx - PasswordResetConfirmForm dynamically imported

Verification:

// Example from login/page.tsx
const LoginForm = dynamic(
  () => import('@/components/auth/LoginForm').then((mod) => ({ default: mod.LoginForm })),
  {
    loading: () => (
      <div className="space-y-4">
        <div className="animate-pulse h-10 bg-muted rounded" />
        {/* skeleton loading */}
      </div>
    ),
  }
);

Benefits:

  • Reduced initial bundle size
  • Improved Time to Interactive (TTI)
  • Skeleton loading states provide visual feedback
  • No hydration errors
  • All E2E tests passing

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 COMPLETE

Status: COMPLETE (Fixed TOCTOU race condition) Impact: Prevents rare authentication failures Complexity: Low Risk: Low Completed: November 2, 2025

Problem Identified: TIME-OF-CHECK TO TIME-OF-USE (TOCTOU) race condition:

// BEFORE (had race condition):
let isRefreshing = false;
let refreshPromise: Promise<string> | null = null;

if (isRefreshing && refreshPromise) {  // ← Check
  return refreshPromise;
}

isRefreshing = true;  // ← Set (NOT ATOMIC!)
// Race window here - two requests could both pass the check

Solution Implemented: Removed redundant isRefreshing flag, use refreshPromise as atomic lock:

// AFTER (race condition fixed):
let refreshPromise: Promise<string> | null = null;

if (refreshPromise) {  // ← Atomic check
  return refreshPromise;
}

// Create promise immediately, minimizing race window
refreshPromise = (async () => {
  // ... refresh logic
})();

return refreshPromise;

Testing:

  • All 381 unit tests passing
  • All 92 E2E tests passing
  • TypeScript: 0 errors
  • No regressions detected

Production Code (4 statements - FIXED): src/lib/api/client.ts - All wrapped in config.debug.api check:

if (config.debug.api) {
  console.log('[API Client] Refreshing access token...');
}

Where config.debug.api = parseBool(ENV.DEBUG_API, false) && ENV.NODE_ENV === 'development'

  • Defaults to false in production
  • Only enabled if explicitly set AND in development mode

Demo Code (2 statements - FIXED): src/app/dev/forms/page.tsx - Wrapped in NODE_ENV check:

Current Technical State

What Works:

  • Authentication core (crypto, storage, store)
  • Configuration management
  • Test infrastructure
  • TypeScript compilation
  • Development environment
  • Complete authentication UI (login, register, password reset)
  • Route protection (AuthGuard)
  • Auth hooks (useAuth, useLogin, useRegister, etc.)

What's Needed Next:

  • User profile management (Phase 3)
  • Password change UI (Phase 3)
  • Session management UI (Phase 3)
  • Authenticated layout (Phase 3)

Technical Debt:

  • API mutation testing requires MSW (Phase 9)
  • Generated client lint errors (auto-generated, cannot fix)
  • API client architecture decision deferred to Phase 3

Notes for Future Development

Phase 3 Completed (November 2, 2025)

Achievements:

  • 🎯 Lighthouse Performance: 100% (perfect score)
  • 📈 Test Coverage: 98.63% (improved from 97.57%)
  • 🧪 473 Total Tests: 100% passing (381 unit + 92 E2E)
  • 🐛 Fixed: Token refresh race condition (TOCTOU)
  • 🔒 Production Safe: All console.log properly conditionalized
  • ⏸️ Deferred: AuthInitializer optimization (stable, Lighthouse 100%)

Key Decisions:

  • AuthInitializer optimization deferred due to previous failure and current perfect performance
  • Focus on stability over theoretical gains
  • All console.log statements conditionalized (config.debug.api + NODE_ENV checks)

When Starting Phase 4 (User Settings)

  1. Review Phase 2 & 2.5 implementation:

    • Auth hooks patterns in src/lib/api/hooks/useAuth.ts
    • Form patterns in src/components/auth/
    • Design system patterns in docs/DESIGN_SYSTEM.md
    • Testing patterns in tests/
  2. Use optimized architecture:

    • Stores in src/lib/stores/ (moved in Phase 3)
    • Shared form components (extracted in Phase 3)
    • Code splitting best practices
  3. Build user settings features:

    • Profile management
    • Password change
    • Session management
    • User preferences
  4. Follow patterns in docs/FEATURE_EXAMPLES.md and docs/DESIGN_SYSTEM.md

  5. Write tests alongside code (not after)

Remember

  • Documentation First: Check docs before implementing
  • Test As You Go: Don't batch testing at end
  • Review Often: Self-review after each task
  • Update This Plan: Keep it current with actual progress
  • Context Matters: This file + docs = full context
