# 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 `/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 2.5: Design System & UI Foundation ✅

**Status:** COMPLETE ✅
**Completed:** November 2, 2025
**Duration:** 1 day
**Prerequisites:** Phase 2 complete ✅

**Summary:**
After completing Phase 2 authentication, a critical UX issue was discovered: the dropdown menu had broken styling with transparent backgrounds. Instead of applying a quick fix, a comprehensive design system was established to ensure long-term consistency and professional appearance across the entire application.

### Design System Selection

**Research & Decision Process:**
- Evaluated modern design system approaches (shadcn/ui, Radix Themes, tweakcn.com)
- Selected **Modern Minimal** preset from tweakcn.com

- Color space: **OKLCH** for superior perceptual uniformity
- Theme modes: Light, Dark, and System preference detection

**Implementation:**
- ✅ Generated complete theme CSS from tweakcn.com
- ✅ Applied semantic color tokens (--primary, --background, --muted, etc.)
- ✅ Updated `components.json` for Tailwind v4 and zinc base

### Task 2.5.1: Theme System Implementation ✅

**Completed Components:**

**ThemeProvider** (`src/components/theme/ThemeProvider.tsx`):
- React Context-based theme management
- localStorage persistence of theme preference
- System preference detection via `prefers-color-scheme`
- Automatic theme application to `<html>` element
- SSR-safe implementation with useEffect
- 16 comprehensive unit tests

**ThemeToggle** (`src/components/theme/ThemeToggle.tsx`):
- Dropdown menu with Light/Dark/System options
- Visual indicators (Sun/Moon/Monitor icons)

- Admin-only navigation for superusers
- Active route highlighting
- 16 comprehensive unit tests

**Footer Component** (`src/components/layout/Footer.tsx`):
- Copyright and links
- Semantic color tokens
- 3 unit tests

**AuthInitializer** (`src/components/auth/AuthInitializer.tsx`):
- **Critical Bug Fix:** Solved infinite loading on /settings page
- Calls `authStore.loadAuthFromStorage()` on app mount
- Ensures tokens are loaded from encrypted storage
- 2 unit tests

**Testing:**
- ✅ Header: 16 tests (navigation, user menu, logout, admin access)
- ✅ Footer: 3 tests (rendering, links)
- ✅ AuthInitializer: 2 tests (loading auth from storage)

### Task 2.5.3: Consistency Sweep ✅

**Updated All Existing Pages:**

className="bg-white dark:bg-gray-900"
```

**After:**
```tsx
className="bg-primary text-primary-foreground"
className="text-muted-foreground"
className="bg-background"
```

### Task 2.5.4: Component Showcase ✅

**ComponentShowcase** (`src/components/dev/ComponentShowcase.tsx`):
- Comprehensive demo of all design system components

## 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:**
1. AuthInitializer blocks render (300-400ms overhead)
2. Theme FOUC (Flash of Unstyled Content) - 50-100ms + CLS
3. React Query aggressive refetching (unnecessary network calls)
4. Bundle size optimization opportunities (+71KB on auth pages)
5. useMe() waterfall pattern (200-300ms sequential fetching)

**Architecture Issues:**
1. Stores location violation: `src/stores/` should be `src/lib/stores/`
2. ThemeProvider uses Context instead of documented Zustand pattern
3. 6 files with incorrect import paths after stores move

**Code Duplication:**
1. 150+ lines duplicated across 4 auth form components
2. Password validation schema duplicated 3 times
3. Form field rendering pattern duplicated 12+ times
4. Error handling logic duplicated in multiple places

**Bugs & Issues:**
1. Token refresh race condition (theoretical, low probability)
2. Missing setTimeout cleanup in password reset hook
3. Several medium-severity issues
4. 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:**
```typescript
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 middleware
- `src/app/providers.tsx` - Remove AuthInitializer
- `tests/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:**
```html
<!-- 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
**Impact:** -40-60% unnecessary network calls
**Complexity:** Low
**Risk:** Low

**Current Problem:**
```typescript
const queryClient = new QueryClient({
  defaultOptions: {
    queries: {
      refetchOnWindowFocus: true, // Too aggressive
      refetchOnReconnect: true,
      refetchOnMount: true,
    }
  }
});
```

**Solution:**
- Disable `refetchOnWindowFocus` (unnecessary for most data)
- Keep `refetchOnReconnect` for session data
- Use selective refetching with query keys
- Add staleTime for user data (5 minutes)

**Files to Change:**
- `src/app/providers.tsx` - Update QueryClient config
- `src/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 of `src/lib/stores/`
- Violates CLAUDE.md architecture guidelines
- 6 files with incorrect import paths

**Solution:**
```bash
mv src/stores src/lib/stores
```

**Files to Update:**
- `src/components/auth/AuthGuard.tsx`
- `src/components/auth/LoginForm.tsx`
- `src/components/auth/RegisterForm.tsx`
- `src/components/layout/Header.tsx`
- `src/lib/api/hooks/useAuth.ts`
- `tests/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:
```typescript
// 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.tsx`
- `src/components/auth/RegisterForm.tsx`
- `src/components/auth/PasswordResetConfirmForm.tsx`
- `src/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:**
```typescript
// 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 showcase
- `src/components/layout/Header.tsx` - Dynamic dropdown
- `src/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:**
```typescript
// Two requests at same time can trigger double refresh
let refreshPromise: Promise<string> | null = null;

if (!refreshPromise) {
  refreshPromise = refreshTokens(); // Race condition here
}
```

**Solution:**
```typescript
// 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:**
1. Missing setTimeout cleanup in password reset hook
2. AuthInitializer dependency array (if not removed in 1A)
3. Any ESLint warnings in production build
4. Type assertions that could be improved

**Files to Review:**
- `src/lib/api/hooks/useAuth.ts`
- `src/components/auth/AuthInitializer.tsx` (or remove in 1A)
- Run `npm run lint` for 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:**
```typescript
// 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.ts` if needed

**Testing Required:**
- Production build verification
- Development logging still works
- No regressions

### Phase 3 Testing Strategy

## Notes for Future Development

### When Starting Phase 3 (Optimization)

1. Review multi-agent findings:
   - Performance bottlenecks identified
   - Architecture inconsistencies documented
   - Code duplication analysis complete
   - Prioritized fix list ready

2. Follow priority-based approach:
   - Task 3.1: Critical performance fixes (AuthInitializer, Theme FOUC, React Query)
   - Task 3.2: Architecture fixes (stores location, form components, code splitting)
   - Task 3.3: Polish (race conditions, console.log, medium issues)

3. Maintain test coverage:
   - Keep 97.57% minimum coverage
   - All tests must pass after each change
   - Run performance tests (Lighthouse, bundle size)

4. Document optimizations:
   - Update IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md after each task
   - Add performance benchmarks
   - Note any breaking changes

### 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
