## Remaining Work

### Phase 2: API Routes & Component Migration (8-12 hours)
**Priority: HIGH**
**Status: NOT STARTED**

#### API Routes Implementation
- `/app/api/auth/[...nextauth]/route.ts` - NextAuth configuration
- `/app/api/auth/login/route.ts` - Login endpoint
- `/app/api/auth/logout/route.ts` - Logout endpoint
- `/app/api/dbal/[...path]/route.ts` - DBAL proxy routes
- `/app/api/users/route.ts` - User management
- `/app/api/tenants/route.ts` - Tenant management
- `/app/api/kv/route.ts` - KV store operations
- `/app/api/blob/route.ts` - Blob storage operations

#### Component Conversion (Level 1-5)
1. **Level 1 (Home)** - Public homepage ✅ Basic structure exists
2. **Level 2 (Dashboard)** - User dashboard
   - Convert `src/level2-dashboard.tsx` → `app/(auth)/dashboard/page.tsx`
   - Add server components for data fetching
3. **Level 3 (Admin)** - Admin panel
   - Convert `src/level3-admin.tsx` → `app/(auth)/admin/page.tsx`
   - User management UI
   - Tenant management UI
4. **Level 4 (Builder)** - Visual builder
   - Convert `src/level4-builder.tsx` → `app/(auth)/builder/page.tsx`
   - Canvas component
   - PropertyInspector
   - ComponentLibrary
5. **Level 5 (SuperGod)** - System administration
   - Convert `src/level5-supergod.tsx` → `app/(auth)/supergod/page.tsx`
   - System settings
   - Global configuration

#### Server vs Client Components
- Server Components: Data fetching, SEO, static content
- Client Components: Interactive UI, forms, real-time updates

---

### Phase 3: Features & Optimization (4-6 hours)
**Priority: MEDIUM**
**Status: NOT STARTED**

#### Server-Side Rendering (SSR)
- Level 1 (home) with SSR for SEO
- Server data fetching for dashboards
- Streaming for large datasets

#### Static Site Generation (SSG)
- Static pages (docs, landing)
- Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR)

#### Optimization
- Image optimization with next/image
- Font optimization with next/font ✅ Already configured
- Code splitting and lazy loading
- Bundle analysis and reduction

---

### Phase 4: Docker Configuration (2-3 hours)
**Priority: MEDIUM**
**Status: NOT STARTED**

#### Next.js Dockerfile
```dockerfile
FROM node:20-alpine AS builder
WORKDIR /app
COPY package*.json ./
RUN npm ci
COPY . .
RUN npm run build

FROM node:20-alpine AS runner
WORKDIR /app
ENV NODE_ENV production
COPY --from=builder /app/.next/standalone ./
COPY --from=builder /app/.next/static ./.next/static
COPY --from=builder /app/public ./public
EXPOSE 3000
CMD ["node", "server.js"]
```

#### Update docker-compose files
- Update `deployment/docker-compose.production.yml`
- Update `deployment/docker-compose.development.yml`
- Update `deployment/Dockerfile.app`

## Implementation Order (Recommended)

### Immediate (Next commit)
1. **Reorganize to frontends/** structure
   - Move `app/` → `frontends/web/app/`
   - Move `src/` → `frontends/web/src/`
   - Update all imports and path references
   - Update `next.config.ts` paths
   - Update `tsconfig.json` paths

### Short-term (Next 2-3 commits)
2. **Implement API routes** (Phase 2a)
   - Auth endpoints
   - DBAL proxy routes
   - Essential CRUD operations

3. **Convert Level 2-3 components** (Phase 2b)
   - Dashboard
   - Admin panel
   - Basic functionality working

### Medium-term (Next 4-5 commits)
4. **Convert Level 4-5 components** (Phase 2c)
   - Builder
   - SuperGod
   - Advanced features

5. **SSR/SSG optimization** (Phase 3)
   - Server components
   - Data fetching strategies
   - Performance improvements

6. **Docker configuration** (Phase 4)
   - Standalone Next.js build
   - Updated docker-compose files

### Long-term (Separate PRs recommended)
7. **Qt6 desktop frontend** (Phase 5)
   - Basic window and tabs
   - DBAL client integration
   - Essential features

8. **CLI interface** (Phase 6)
   - Command structure
   - Interactive mode
   - Essential commands

---

## Estimated Timeline

- **Phase 2:** 2-3 days full-time (API routes + all components)
- **Phase 3:** 1 day full-time (optimization)
- **Phase 4:** Half day (Docker)
- **Phase 5:** 2 days full-time (Qt6 desktop)
- **Phase 6:** 1 day full-time (CLI)

**Total: 6-7 days full-time development**

---

## Decision Points

### Should we split this?
Given the scope, consider:
- **Option A:** Complete all phases in this PR (recommended against - too large)
- **Option B:** Complete Phases 2-4 in this PR, Phases 5-6 in separate PRs (recommended)
- **Option C:** Complete Phase 2 only in this PR, rest in separate PRs (most manageable)

### Recommendation
Complete **Phase 2 (API routes + Level 2-3)** in this PR to get Next.js functional.
Create separate PRs for:
- Phase 2 continuation (Level 4-5)
- Phase 3 (optimization)
- Phase 4 (Docker)
- Phase 5 (Qt6 desktop)
- Phase 6 (CLI)

This allows for:
- Better code review
- Incremental testing
- Easier rollback if issues arise
- Parallel development if needed

## Next Steps

To proceed with "Make it so", I recommend:

1. **Immediate:** Create frontend reorganization commit
2. **Next commit:** Implement essential API routes
3. **Following commits:** Convert Level 2-3 components
4. **Validate:** Test Next.js app is functional
5. **Document:** Update migration status

Would you like me to:
- A) Proceed with Phase 2 implementation (API routes + Level 2-3)?
- B) Create the frontend reorganization first?
- C) Focus on a specific phase?

Current recommendation: **Start with B (reorganization), then A (Phase 2 core features)**
