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):

export function useAuth() {
  const context = useContext(AuthContext);
  return context;  // Returns the hook function - VIOLATES React Rules of Hooks!
}

✅ CORRECT (Implemented):

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:

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:

/**
 * [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):

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):

import { useAuth } from '@/lib/auth/AuthContext';

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

For Mutation Callbacks (updating auth state):

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

// 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.

/**
 * 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:

• File created with correct implementation
• TypeScript compiles without errors
• Type inference works correctly
• 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:

// 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:

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:

// 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:

// 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:

• AuthProvider wraps Providers (correct nesting)
• AuthInitializer placed correctly (after AuthProvider, before Providers)
• App starts without crashing
• Browser console is clean
• TypeScript compiles with 0 errors
• No hydration mismatches
• 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:

'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:

• AuthInitializer is inside AuthProvider in layout.tsx
• Component renders without errors
• Auth loads from storage on page load (if tokens exist)
• 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

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)

// 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:

// 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:

// 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

   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

# 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):

// 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

// 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:

// 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):

// 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:

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:

   grep -n "useAuthStore()" src/components/layout/Header.tsx
   # Should return no results (except useAuthStore.getState() which is OK)
   

3. Run type check:

   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:

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:

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

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

After:

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:

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

---

Phase 10: Documentation

Task 10.1: Update Project Documentation

File: CLAUDE.md (MODIFY)

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

### 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):

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:

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)

└── app/
    └── layout.tsx              # Root layout with AuthProvider

Common Patterns

Conditional Rendering Based on Auth:

function MyPage() {
  const { isAuthenticated, isLoading } = useAuth();

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

  return <ProtectedContent />;
}

Admin-Only Features:

import { useIsAdmin } from '@/lib/api/hooks/useAuth';

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

  if (!isAdmin) return <AccessDenied />;

  return <AdminDashboard />;
}

Mutation with Auth Update:

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):

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):

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

#### Task 10.2: Update Frontend README (if exists)
**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.):

import { useLogin, useLogout } from '@/lib/api/hooks/useAuth';

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

Writing E2E Tests:

import { setupAuthenticatedMocks } from './helpers/auth';

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

See CLAUDE.md for complete documentation.

**Success Criteria**:
- [ ] README updated (if file exists)
- [ ] Links to detailed docs provided
- [ ] Quick reference included

Task 11.3: Push and Create Pull Request

Action: Push feature branch and create PR

Commands:

# Push to remote
git push origin feature/auth-context-di-migration

# Create PR using GitHub CLI
gh pr create --title "Auth Context DI Migration for Full E2E Test Coverage" --body "$(cat <<'EOF'
## 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

## Changes

### New Files (2)
- ✅ `src/lib/auth/AuthContext.tsx` - Context provider and useAuth hook
- ✅ `e2e/helpers/testAuthProvider.ts` - Mock store factory for E2E tests

### Modified Files (13)
**Components (3):**
- ✅ `src/app/layout.tsx` - Wrap app with AuthProvider
- ✅ `src/components/auth/AuthGuard.tsx` - Use useAuth hook
- ✅ `src/components/auth/AuthInitializer.tsx` - Use useAuth hook
- ✅ `src/components/layout/Header.tsx` - Use useAuth hook

**Hooks (2):**
- ✅ `src/lib/api/hooks/useAuth.ts` - Render hooks use Context, mutations use getState()
- ✅ `src/lib/api/hooks/useUser.ts` - Use getState() in mutation callback

**Exports (1):**
- ✅ `src/lib/stores/index.ts` - Export useAuth hook

**Tests (5):**
- ✅ `tests/components/layout/Header.test.tsx` - Mock Context instead of store
- ✅ `tests/components/auth/AuthInitializer.test.tsx` - Mock Context
- ✅ `tests/lib/api/hooks/useUser.test.tsx` - Update to match new implementation
- ✅ `tests/app/(authenticated)/settings/profile/page.test.tsx` - Mock Context

**E2E Tests (4):**

- ✅ Profile updates
- ✅ Token refresh (automatic)
- ✅ Admin features
- ✅ Session management

## Performance Impact

- **Bundle Size**: No significant change
- **Runtime Performance**: No regression
- **Type Checking**: 0 errors, 0 warnings
- **Build Time**: No change

## Breaking Changes

**None.** This is an internal refactor with no API changes.

## Architecture Benefits

✅ **Testability**: E2E tests can inject mock stores
✅ **Maintainability**: Clear separation (Context = DI, Zustand = state)
✅ **Type Safety**: Full TypeScript inference
✅ **Performance**: Zustand handles state efficiently
✅ **Extensibility**: Easy to add auth events, middleware
✅ **Best Practices**: Follows React Context patterns

## Migration Notes

This is a production-ready implementation with:
- No hacks or workarounds

Rollback Plan

Phase 1-2 Failure (Context Creation)

Symptom: App won't start or Context errors Action:

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:

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

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)

Total: 8-12 hours (1-2 full working days for careful, test-driven implementation)

Prerequisites

Required Knowledge:

• Strong TypeScript skills
• React Context API experience
• Zustand familiarity
• Playwright E2E testing
• Jest unit testing

Required Setup:

• Node.js environment
• Git configured
• GitHub CLI (optional, for PR creation)
• Backend running (for manual testing)

---

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
