+# Database Schema Relationship Analysis
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This document analyzes the database schema to identify missing table relationships and JOINs that aren't properly implemented in the codebase. This analysis was triggered by discovering that `WatchedItemDeal` was using a `store_name` string instead of a proper `store` object with nested locations.
+
+## Key Findings
+
+### ✅ CORRECTLY IMPLEMENTED
+
+#### 1. Store → Store Locations → Addresses (3-table normalization)
+
+**Schema:**
+
+```sql
+stores (store_id) → store_locations (store_location_id) → addresses (address_id)
+```
+
+**Implementation:**
+
+- [src/services/db/storeLocation.db.ts](src/services/db/storeLocation.db.ts) properly JOINs all three tables
+- [src/types.ts](src/types.ts) defines `StoreWithLocations` interface with nested address objects
+- Recent fixes corrected `WatchedItemDeal` to use `store` object instead of `store_name` string
+
+**Queries:**
+
+```typescript
+// From storeLocation.db.ts
+FROM public.stores s
+LEFT JOIN public.store_locations sl ON s.store_id = sl.store_id
+LEFT JOIN public.addresses a ON sl.address_id = a.address_id
+```
+
+#### 2. Shopping Trips → Shopping Trip Items
+
+**Schema:**
+
+```sql
+shopping_trips (shopping_trip_id) → shopping_trip_items (shopping_trip_item_id) → master_grocery_items
+```
+
+**Implementation:**
+
+- [src/services/db/shopping.db.ts:513-518](src/services/db/shopping.db.ts#L513-L518) properly JOINs shopping_trips → shopping_trip_items → master_grocery_items
+- Uses `json_agg` to nest items array within trip object
+- [src/types.ts:639-647](src/types.ts#L639-L647) `ShoppingTrip` interface includes nested `items: ShoppingTripItem[]`
+
+**Queries:**
+
+```typescript
+FROM public.shopping_trips st
+LEFT JOIN public.shopping_trip_items sti ON st.shopping_trip_id = sti.shopping_trip_id
+LEFT JOIN public.master_grocery_items mgi ON sti.master_item_id = mgi.master_grocery_item_id
+```
+
+#### 3. Receipts → Receipt Items
+
+**Schema:**
+
+```sql
+receipts (receipt_id) → receipt_items (receipt_item_id)
+```
+
+**Implementation:**
+
+- [src/types.ts:649-662](src/types.ts#L649-L662) `Receipt` interface includes optional `items?: ReceiptItem[]`
+- Receipt items are fetched separately via repository methods
+- Proper foreign key relationship maintained
+
+---
+
+### ❌ MISSING / INCORRECT IMPLEMENTATIONS
+
+#### 1. **CRITICAL: Flyers → Flyer Locations → Store Locations (Many-to-Many)**
+
+**Schema:**
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS public.flyer_locations (
+    flyer_id BIGINT NOT NULL REFERENCES public.flyers(flyer_id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    store_location_id BIGINT NOT NULL REFERENCES public.store_locations(store_location_id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    PRIMARY KEY (flyer_id, store_location_id),
+    ...
+);
+COMMENT: 'A linking table associating a single flyer with multiple store locations where its deals are valid.'
+```
+
+**Problem:**
+
+- The schema defines a **many-to-many relationship** - a flyer can be valid at multiple store locations
+- Current implementation in [src/services/db/flyer.db.ts](src/services/db/flyer.db.ts) **IGNORES** the `flyer_locations` table entirely
+- Queries JOIN `flyers` directly to `stores` via `store_id` foreign key
+- This means flyers can only be associated with ONE store, not multiple locations
+
+**Current (Incorrect) Queries:**
+
+```typescript
+// From flyer.db.ts:315-362
+FROM public.flyers f
+JOIN public.stores s ON f.store_id = s.store_id  // ❌ Wrong - ignores flyer_locations
+```
+
+**Expected (Correct) Queries:**
+
+```typescript
+// Should be:
+FROM public.flyers f
+JOIN public.flyer_locations fl ON f.flyer_id = fl.flyer_id
+JOIN public.store_locations sl ON fl.store_location_id = sl.store_location_id
+JOIN public.stores s ON sl.store_id = s.store_id
+JOIN public.addresses a ON sl.address_id = a.address_id
+```
+
+**TypeScript Type Issues:**
+
+- [src/types.ts](src/types.ts) `Flyer` interface has `store` object, but it should have `locations: StoreLocation[]` array
+- Current structure assumes one store per flyer, not multiple locations
+
+**Files Affected:**
+
+- [src/services/db/flyer.db.ts](src/services/db/flyer.db.ts) - All flyer queries
+- [src/types.ts](src/types.ts) - `Flyer` interface definition
+- Any component displaying flyer locations
+
+---
+
+#### 2. **User Submitted Prices → Store Locations (MIGRATED)**
+
+**Status**: ✅ **FIXED** - Migration created
+
+**Schema:**
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS public.user_submitted_prices (
+    ...
+    store_id BIGINT NOT NULL REFERENCES public.stores(store_id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    ...
+);
+```
+
+**Solution Implemented:**
+
+- Created migration [sql/migrations/005_add_store_location_to_user_submitted_prices.sql](sql/migrations/005_add_store_location_to_user_submitted_prices.sql)
+- Added `store_location_id` column to table (NOT NULL after migration)
+- Migrated existing data: linked each price to first location of its store
+- Updated TypeScript interface [src/types.ts:270-282](src/types.ts#L270-L282) to include both fields
+- Kept `store_id` for backward compatibility during transition
+
+**Benefits:**
+
+- Prices are now specific to individual store locations
+- "Walmart Toronto" and "Walmart Vancouver" prices are tracked separately
+- Improves geographic specificity for price comparisons
+- Enables proximity-based price recommendations
+
+**Next Steps:**
+
+- Application code needs to be updated to use `store_location_id` when creating new prices
+- Once all code is migrated, can drop the legacy `store_id` column
+- User-submitted prices feature is not yet implemented in the UI
+
+---
+
+#### 3. **Receipts → Store Locations (MIGRATED)**
+
+**Status**: ✅ **FIXED** - Migration created
+
+**Schema:**
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS public.receipts (
+    ...
+    store_id BIGINT REFERENCES public.stores(store_id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    store_location_id BIGINT REFERENCES public.store_locations(store_location_id) ON DELETE SET NULL,
+    ...
+);
+```
+
+**Solution Implemented:**
+
+- Created migration [sql/migrations/006_add_store_location_to_receipts.sql](sql/migrations/006_add_store_location_to_receipts.sql)
+- Added `store_location_id` column to table (nullable - receipts may not have matched store)
+- Migrated existing data: linked each receipt to first location of its store
+- Updated TypeScript interface [src/types.ts:661-675](src/types.ts#L661-L675) to include both fields
+- Kept `store_id` for backward compatibility during transition
+
+**Benefits:**
+
+- Receipts can now be tied to specific store locations
+- "Loblaws Queen St" and "Loblaws Bloor St" are tracked separately
+- Enables location-specific shopping pattern analysis
+- Improves receipt matching accuracy with address data
+
+**Next Steps:**
+
+- Receipt scanning code needs to determine specific store_location_id from OCR text
+- May require address parsing/matching logic in receipt processing
+- Once all code is migrated, can drop the legacy `store_id` column
+- OCR confidence and pattern matching should prefer location-specific data
+
+---
+
+#### 4. Item Price History → Store Locations (Already Correct!)
+
+**Schema:**
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS public.item_price_history (
+    ...
+    store_location_id BIGINT REFERENCES public.store_locations(store_location_id) ON DELETE CASCADE,
+    ...
+);
+```
+
+**Status:**
+
+- ✅ **CORRECTLY IMPLEMENTED** - This table already uses `store_location_id`
+- Properly tracks price history per location
+- Good example of how other tables should be structured
+
+---
+
+## Summary Table
+
+| Table                 | Foreign Key                 | Should Use                            | Status          | Priority |

+
+## Impact Assessment
+
+### Critical (Must Fix)
+
+1. **Flyer Locations Many-to-Many**
+   - **Impact:** Flyers can't be associated with multiple store locations
+   - **User Impact:** Users can't see which specific store locations have deals
+   - **Business Logic:** Breaks core assumption that one flyer can be valid at multiple stores
+   - **Fix Complexity:** High - requires schema migration, type changes, query rewrites
+
+### Medium (Should Consider)
+
+2. **User Submitted Prices & Receipts**
+   - **Impact:** Loss of location-specific data
+   - **User Impact:** Can't distinguish between different locations of same store chain
+   - **Business Logic:** Reduces accuracy of proximity-based recommendations
+   - **Fix Complexity:** Medium - requires migration and query updates
+
+---
+
+## Recommended Actions
+
+### Phase 1: Fix Flyer Locations (Critical)
+
+1. Create migration to properly use `flyer_locations` table
+2. Update `Flyer` TypeScript interface to support multiple locations
+3. Rewrite all flyer queries in [src/services/db/flyer.db.ts](src/services/db/flyer.db.ts)
+4. Update flyer creation/update endpoints to manage `flyer_locations` entries
+5. Update frontend components to display multiple locations per flyer
+6. Update tests to use new structure
+
+### Phase 2: Consider Store Location Specificity (Optional)
+
+1. Evaluate if location-specific receipts and prices provide value
+2. If yes, create migrations to change `store_id` → `store_location_id`
+3. Update repository queries
+4. Update TypeScript interfaces
+5. Update tests

+
+## Analysis Methodology
+
+This analysis was conducted by:
+
+1. Extracting all foreign key relationships from [sql/master_schema_rollup.sql](sql/master_schema_rollup.sql)
+2. Comparing schema relationships against TypeScript interfaces in [src/types.ts](src/types.ts)
+3. Auditing database queries in [src/services/db/](src/services/db/) for proper JOIN usage
+4. Identifying gaps where schema relationships exist but aren't used in queries
+
+Commands used:
+
+```bash
+# Extract all foreign keys
+podman exec -it flyer-crawler-dev bash -c "grep -n 'REFERENCES' sql/master_schema_rollup.sql"
+
+# Check specific table structures
+podman exec -it flyer-crawler-dev bash -c "grep -A 15 'CREATE TABLE.*table_name' sql/master_schema_rollup.sql"
+
+# Verify query patterns
+podman exec -it flyer-crawler-dev bash -c "grep -n 'JOIN.*table_name' src/services/db/*.ts"
+```

+# WebSocket Real-Time Notifications - Usage Guide
+
+This guide shows you how to use the WebSocket real-time notification system in your React components.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Enable Global Notifications
+
+Add the `NotificationToastHandler` to your root `App.tsx`:
+
+```tsx
+// src/App.tsx
+import { Toaster } from 'react-hot-toast';
+import { NotificationToastHandler } from './components/NotificationToastHandler';
+
+function App() {
+  return (
+    <>
+      {/* React Hot Toast container */}
+      <Toaster position="top-right" />
+
+      {/* WebSocket notification handler (renders nothing, handles side effects) */}
+      <NotificationToastHandler
+        enabled={true}
+        playSound={false} // Set to true to play notification sounds
+      />
+
+      {/* Your app routes and components */}
+      <YourAppContent />
+    </>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Add Notification Bell to Header
+
+```tsx
+// src/components/Header.tsx
+import { NotificationBell } from './components/NotificationBell';
+import { useNavigate } from 'react-router-dom';
+
+function Header() {
+  const navigate = useNavigate();
+
+  return (
+    <header className="flex items-center justify-between p-4">
+      <h1>Flyer Crawler</h1>
+
+      <div className="flex items-center gap-4">
+        {/* Notification bell with unread count */}
+        <NotificationBell onClick={() => navigate('/notifications')} showConnectionStatus={true} />
+
+        <UserMenu />
+      </div>
+    </header>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Listen for Notifications in Components
+
+```tsx
+// src/pages/DealsPage.tsx
+import { useEventBus } from '../hooks/useEventBus';
+import { useCallback, useState } from 'react';
+import type { DealNotificationData } from '../types/websocket';
+
+function DealsPage() {
+  const [deals, setDeals] = useState([]);
+
+  // Listen for new deal notifications
+  const handleDealNotification = useCallback((data: DealNotificationData) => {
+    console.log('New deals received:', data.deals);
+
+    // Update your deals list
+    setDeals((prev) => [...data.deals, ...prev]);
+
+    // Or refetch from API
+    // refetchDeals();
+  }, []);
+
+  useEventBus('notification:deal', handleDealNotification);
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      <h1>Deals</h1>
+      {/* Render deals */}
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+## Available Components
+
+### `NotificationBell`
+
+A notification bell icon with unread count and connection status indicator.
+
+**Props:**
+
+- `onClick?: () => void` - Callback when bell is clicked
+- `showConnectionStatus?: boolean` - Show green/red/yellow connection dot (default: `true`)
+- `className?: string` - Custom CSS classes
+
+**Example:**
+
+```tsx
+<NotificationBell
+  onClick={() => navigate('/notifications')}
+  showConnectionStatus={true}
+  className="mr-4"
+/>
+```
+
+### `ConnectionStatus`
+
+A simple status indicator showing if WebSocket is connected (no bell icon).
+
+**Example:**
+
+```tsx
+<ConnectionStatus />
+```
+
+### `NotificationToastHandler`
+
+Global handler that listens for WebSocket events and displays toasts. Should be rendered once at app root.
+
+**Props:**
+
+- `enabled?: boolean` - Enable/disable toast notifications (default: `true`)
+- `playSound?: boolean` - Play sound on notifications (default: `false`)
+- `soundUrl?: string` - Custom notification sound URL
+
+**Example:**
+
+```tsx
+<NotificationToastHandler enabled={true} playSound={true} soundUrl="/custom-sound.mp3" />
+```
+
+## Available Hooks
+
+### `useWebSocket`
+
+Connect to the WebSocket server and manage connection state.
+
+**Options:**
+
+- `autoConnect?: boolean` - Auto-connect on mount (default: `true`)
+- `maxReconnectAttempts?: number` - Max reconnect attempts (default: `5`)
+- `reconnectDelay?: number` - Base reconnect delay in ms (default: `1000`)
+- `onConnect?: () => void` - Callback on connection
+- `onDisconnect?: () => void` - Callback on disconnect
+- `onError?: (error: Event) => void` - Callback on error
+
+**Returns:**
+
+- `isConnected: boolean` - Connection status
+- `isConnecting: boolean` - Connecting state
+- `error: string | null` - Error message if any
+- `connect: () => void` - Manual connect function
+- `disconnect: () => void` - Manual disconnect function
+- `send: (message: WebSocketMessage) => void` - Send message to server
+
+**Example:**
+
+```tsx
+const { isConnected, error, connect, disconnect } = useWebSocket({
+  autoConnect: true,
+  maxReconnectAttempts: 3,
+  onConnect: () => console.log('Connected!'),
+  onDisconnect: () => console.log('Disconnected!'),
+});
+
+return (
+  <div>
+    <p>Status: {isConnected ? 'Connected' : 'Disconnected'}</p>
+    {error && <p>Error: {error}</p>}
+    <button onClick={connect}>Reconnect</button>
+  </div>
+);
+```
+
+### `useEventBus`
+
+Subscribe to event bus events (used with WebSocket integration).
+
+**Parameters:**
+
+- `event: string` - Event name to listen for
+- `callback: (data?: T) => void` - Callback function
+
+**Available Events:**
+
+- `'notification:deal'` - Deal notifications (`DealNotificationData`)
+- `'notification:system'` - System messages (`SystemMessageData`)
+- `'notification:error'` - Error messages (`{ message: string; code?: string }`)
+
+**Example:**
+
+```tsx
+import { useEventBus } from '../hooks/useEventBus';
+import type { DealNotificationData } from '../types/websocket';
+
+function MyComponent() {
+  useEventBus<DealNotificationData>('notification:deal', (data) => {
+    console.log('Received deal:', data);
+  });
+
+  return <div>Listening for deals...</div>;
+}
+```
+
+## Message Types
+
+### Deal Notification
+
+```typescript
+interface DealNotificationData {
+  notification_id?: string;
+  deals: Array<{
+    item_name: string;
+    best_price_in_cents: number;
+    store_name: string;
+    store_id: string;
+  }>;
+  user_id: string;
+  message: string;
+}
+```
+
+### System Message
+
+```typescript
+interface SystemMessageData {
+  message: string;
+  severity: 'info' | 'warning' | 'error';
+}
+```
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Custom Notification Handling
+
+If you don't want to use the default `NotificationToastHandler`, you can create your own:
+
+```tsx
+import { useWebSocket } from '../hooks/useWebSocket';
+import { useEventBus } from '../hooks/useEventBus';
+import type { DealNotificationData } from '../types/websocket';
+
+function CustomNotificationHandler() {
+  const { isConnected } = useWebSocket({ autoConnect: true });
+
+  useEventBus<DealNotificationData>('notification:deal', (data) => {
+    // Custom handling - e.g., update Redux store
+    dispatch(addDeals(data.deals));
+
+    // Show custom UI
+    showCustomNotification(data.message);
+  });
+
+  return null; // Or return your custom UI
+}
+```
+
+### Conditional WebSocket Connection
+
+```tsx
+import { useWebSocket } from '../hooks/useWebSocket';
+import { useAuth } from '../hooks/useAuth';
+
+function ConditionalWebSocket() {
+  const { user } = useAuth();
+
+  // Only connect if user is logged in
+  useWebSocket({
+    autoConnect: !!user,
+  });
+
+  return null;
+}
+```
+
+### Send Messages to Server
+
+```tsx
+import { useWebSocket } from '../hooks/useWebSocket';
+
+function PingComponent() {
+  const { send, isConnected } = useWebSocket();
+
+  const sendPing = () => {
+    send({
+      type: 'ping',
+      data: {},
+      timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
+    });
+  };
+
+  return (
+    <button onClick={sendPing} disabled={!isConnected}>
+      Send Ping
+    </button>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+## Admin Monitoring
+
+### Get WebSocket Stats
+
+Admin users can check WebSocket connection statistics:
+
+```bash
+# Get connection stats
+curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <admin-token>" \
+  http://localhost:3001/api/admin/websocket/stats
+```
+
+**Response:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "data": {
+    "totalUsers": 42,
+    "totalConnections": 67
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Admin Dashboard Integration
+
+```tsx
+import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
+
+function AdminWebSocketStats() {
+  const [stats, setStats] = useState({ totalUsers: 0, totalConnections: 0 });
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const fetchStats = async () => {
+      const response = await fetch('/api/admin/websocket/stats', {
+        headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` },
+      });
+      const data = await response.json();
+      setStats(data.data);
+    };
+
+    fetchStats();
+    const interval = setInterval(fetchStats, 5000); // Poll every 5s
+
+    return () => clearInterval(interval);
+  }, []);
+
+  return (
+    <div className="p-4 border rounded">
+      <h3>WebSocket Stats</h3>
+      <p>Connected Users: {stats.totalUsers}</p>
+      <p>Total Connections: {stats.totalConnections}</p>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Connection Issues
+
+1. **Check JWT Token**: WebSocket requires a valid JWT token in cookies or query string
+2. **Check Server Logs**: Look for WebSocket connection errors in server logs
+3. **Check Browser Console**: WebSocket errors are logged to console
+4. **Verify Path**: WebSocket server is at `ws://localhost:3001/ws` (or `wss://` for HTTPS)
+
+### Not Receiving Notifications
+
+1. **Check Connection Status**: Use `<ConnectionStatus />` to verify connection
+2. **Verify Event Name**: Ensure you're listening to the correct event (`notification:deal`, etc.)
+3. **Check User ID**: Notifications are sent to specific users - verify JWT user_id matches
+
+### High Memory Usage
+
+1. **Connection Leaks**: Ensure components using `useWebSocket` are properly unmounting
+2. **Event Listeners**: `useEventBus` automatically cleans up, but verify no manual listeners remain
+3. **Check Stats**: Use `/api/admin/websocket/stats` to monitor connection count
+
+## Testing
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+```typescript
+import { renderHook } from '@testing-library/react';
+import { useWebSocket } from '../hooks/useWebSocket';
+
+describe('useWebSocket', () => {
+  it('should connect automatically', () => {
+    const { result } = renderHook(() => useWebSocket({ autoConnect: true }));
+    expect(result.current.isConnecting).toBe(true);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+See [src/tests/integration/websocket.integration.test.ts](../src/tests/integration/websocket.integration.test.ts) for comprehensive integration tests.

 ## Context
 
 A core feature is providing "Active Deal Alerts" to users. The current HTTP-based architecture is not suitable for pushing real-time updates to clients efficiently. Relying on traditional polling would be inefficient and slow.
 
+Users need to be notified immediately when:
+
+1. **New deals are found** on their watched items
+2. **System announcements** need to be broadcast
+3. **Background jobs complete** that affect their data
+
+Traditional approaches:
+
+- **HTTP Polling**: Inefficient, creates unnecessary load, delays up to polling interval
+- **Server-Sent Events (SSE)**: One-way only, no client-to-server messaging
+- **WebSockets**: Bi-directional, real-time, efficient

 ## Decision
 
-We will implement a real-time communication system using **WebSockets** (e.g., with the `ws` library or Socket.IO). This will involve an architecture for a notification service that listens for backend events (like a new deal from a background job) and pushes live updates to connected clients.
+We will implement a real-time communication system using **WebSockets** with the `ws` library. This will involve:
+
+1. **WebSocket Server**: Manages connections, authentication, and message routing
+2. **React Hook**: Provides easy integration for React components
+3. **Event Bus Integration**: Bridges WebSocket messages to in-app events
+4. **Background Job Integration**: Emits WebSocket notifications when deals are found
+
+### Design Principles
+
+- **JWT Authentication**: WebSocket connections authenticated via JWT tokens
+- **Type-Safe Messages**: Strongly-typed message formats prevent errors
+- **Auto-Reconnect**: Client automatically reconnects with exponential backoff
+- **Graceful Degradation**: Email + DB notifications remain for offline users
+- **Heartbeat Ping/Pong**: Detect and cleanup dead connections
+- **Singleton Service**: Single WebSocket service instance shared across app
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### WebSocket Message Types
+
+Located in `src/types/websocket.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+export interface WebSocketMessage<T = unknown> {
+  type: WebSocketMessageType;
+  data: T;
+  timestamp: string;
+}
+
+export type WebSocketMessageType =
+  | 'deal-notification'
+  | 'system-message'
+  | 'ping'
+  | 'pong'
+  | 'error'
+  | 'connection-established';
+
+// Deal notification payload
+export interface DealNotificationData {
+  notification_id?: string;
+  deals: DealInfo[];
+  user_id: string;
+  message: string;
+}
+
+// Type-safe message creators
+export const createWebSocketMessage = {
+  dealNotification: (data: DealNotificationData) => ({ ... }),
+  systemMessage: (data: SystemMessageData) => ({ ... }),
+  error: (data: ErrorMessageData) => ({ ... }),
+  // ...
+};
+```
+
+### WebSocket Server Service
+
+Located in `src/services/websocketService.server.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+export class WebSocketService {
+  private wss: WebSocketServer | null = null;
+  private clients: Map<string, Set<AuthenticatedWebSocket>> = new Map();
+  private pingInterval: NodeJS.Timeout | null = null;
+
+  initialize(server: HTTPServer): void {
+    this.wss = new WebSocketServer({
+      server,
+      path: '/ws',
+    });
+
+    this.wss.on('connection', (ws, request) => {
+      this.handleConnection(ws, request);
+    });
+
+    this.startHeartbeat(); // Ping every 30s
+  }
+
+  // Authentication via JWT from query string or cookie
+  private extractToken(request: IncomingMessage): string | null {
+    // Extract from ?token=xxx or Cookie: accessToken=xxx
+  }
+
+  // Broadcast to specific user
+  broadcastDealNotification(userId: string, data: DealNotificationData): void {
+    const message = createWebSocketMessage.dealNotification(data);
+    this.broadcastToUser(userId, message);
+  }
+
+  // Broadcast to all users
+  broadcastToAll(data: SystemMessageData): void {
+    // Send to all connected clients
+  }
+
+  shutdown(): void {
+    // Gracefully close all connections
+  }
+}
+
+export const websocketService = new WebSocketService(globalLogger);
+```
+
+### Server Integration
+
+Located in `server.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import { websocketService } from './src/services/websocketService.server';
+
+if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'test') {
+  const server = app.listen(PORT, () => {
+    logger.info(`Authentication server started on port ${PORT}`);
+  });
+
+  // Initialize WebSocket server (ADR-022)
+  websocketService.initialize(server);
+  logger.info('WebSocket server initialized for real-time notifications');
+
+  // Graceful shutdown
+  const handleShutdown = (signal: string) => {
+    websocketService.shutdown();
+    gracefulShutdown(signal);
+  };
+
+  process.on('SIGINT', () => handleShutdown('SIGINT'));
+  process.on('SIGTERM', () => handleShutdown('SIGTERM'));
+}
+```
+
+### React Client Hook
+
+Located in `src/hooks/useWebSocket.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+export function useWebSocket(options: UseWebSocketOptions = {}) {
+  const [state, setState] = useState<WebSocketState>({
+    isConnected: false,
+    isConnecting: false,
+    error: null,
+  });
+
+  const connect = useCallback(() => {
+    const url = getWebSocketUrl(); // wss://host/ws?token=xxx
+    const ws = new WebSocket(url);
+
+    ws.onmessage = (event) => {
+      const message = JSON.parse(event.data) as WebSocketMessage;
+
+      // Emit to event bus for cross-component communication
+      switch (message.type) {
+        case 'deal-notification':
+          eventBus.dispatch('notification:deal', message.data);
+          break;
+        case 'system-message':
+          eventBus.dispatch('notification:system', message.data);
+          break;
+        // ...
+      }
+    };
+
+    ws.onclose = () => {
+      // Auto-reconnect with exponential backoff
+      if (reconnectAttempts < maxReconnectAttempts) {
+        setTimeout(connect, reconnectDelay * Math.pow(2, reconnectAttempts));
+        reconnectAttempts++;
+      }
+    };
+  }, []);
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    if (autoConnect) connect();
+    return () => disconnect();
+  }, [autoConnect, connect, disconnect]);
+
+  return { ...state, connect, disconnect, send };
+}
+```
+
+### Background Job Integration
+
+Located in `src/services/backgroundJobService.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+private async _processDealsForUser({ userProfile, deals }: UserDealGroup) {
+  // ... existing email notification logic ...
+
+  // Send real-time WebSocket notification (ADR-022)
+  const { websocketService } = await import('./websocketService.server');
+  websocketService.broadcastDealNotification(userProfile.user_id, {
+    user_id: userProfile.user_id,
+    deals: deals.map((deal) => ({
+      item_name: deal.item_name,
+      best_price_in_cents: deal.best_price_in_cents,
+      store_name: deal.store.name,
+      store_id: deal.store.store_id,
+    })),
+    message: `You have ${deals.length} new deal(s) on your watched items!`,
+  });
+}
+```
+
+### Usage in React Components
+
+```typescript
+import { useWebSocket } from '../hooks/useWebSocket';
+import { useEventBus } from '../hooks/useEventBus';
+import { useCallback } from 'react';
+
+function NotificationComponent() {
+  // Connect to WebSocket
+  const { isConnected, error } = useWebSocket({ autoConnect: true });
+
+  // Listen for deal notifications via event bus
+  const handleDealNotification = useCallback((data: DealNotificationData) => {
+    toast.success(`${data.deals.length} new deals found!`);
+  }, []);
+
+  useEventBus('notification:deal', handleDealNotification);
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {isConnected ? '🟢 Live' : '🔴 Offline'}
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```

+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Authentication**: JWT tokens required for WebSocket connections
+2. **User Isolation**: Messages routed only to authenticated user's connections
+3. **Rate Limiting**: Heartbeat ping/pong prevents connection flooding
+4. **Graceful Shutdown**: Notifies clients before server shutdown
+5. **Error Handling**: Failed WebSocket sends don't crash the server
 
 ## Consequences
 
-**Positive**: Enables a core, user-facing feature in a scalable and efficient manner. Significantly improves user engagement and experience.
+### Positive
-**Negative**: Introduces a new dependency (e.g., WebSocket library) and adds complexity to the backend and frontend architecture. Requires careful handling of connection management and scaling.
+
+- **Real-time Updates**: Users see deals immediately when found
+- **Better UX**: No page refresh needed, instant notifications
+- **Efficient**: Single persistent connection vs polling every N seconds
+- **Scalable**: Connection pooling per user, heartbeat cleanup
+- **Type-Safe**: TypeScript types prevent message format errors
+- **Resilient**: Auto-reconnect with exponential backoff
+- **Observable**: Connection stats available via `getConnectionStats()`
+- **Testable**: Comprehensive unit tests for message types and service
+
+### Negative
+
+- **Complexity**: WebSocket server adds new infrastructure component
+- **Memory**: Each connection consumes server memory
+- **Scaling**: Single-server implementation (multi-server requires Redis pub/sub)
+- **Browser Support**: Requires WebSocket-capable browsers (all modern browsers)
+- **Network**: Persistent connections require stable network
+
+### Mitigation
+
+- **Graceful Degradation**: Email + DB notifications remain for offline users
+- **Connection Limits**: Can add max connections per user if needed
+- **Monitoring**: Connection stats exposed for observability
+- **Future Scaling**: Can add Redis pub/sub for multi-instance deployments
+- **Heartbeat**: 30s ping/pong detects and cleans up dead connections
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+Located in `src/services/websocketService.server.test.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+describe('WebSocketService', () => {
+  it('should initialize without errors', () => { ... });
+  it('should handle broadcasting with no active connections', () => { ... });
+  it('should shutdown gracefully', () => { ... });
+});
+```
+
+Located in `src/types/websocket.test.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+describe('WebSocket Message Creators', () => {
+  it('should create valid deal notification messages', () => { ... });
+  it('should generate valid ISO timestamps', () => { ... });
+});
+```
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+Future work: Add integration tests that:
+
+- Connect WebSocket clients to test server
+- Verify authentication and message routing
+- Test reconnection logic
+- Validate message delivery
+
+## Key Files
+
+- `src/types/websocket.ts` - WebSocket message types and creators
+- `src/services/websocketService.server.ts` - WebSocket server service
+- `src/hooks/useWebSocket.ts` - React hook for WebSocket connections
+- `src/services/backgroundJobService.ts` - Integration point for deal notifications
+- `server.ts` - Express + WebSocket server initialization
+- `src/services/websocketService.server.test.ts` - Unit tests
+- `src/types/websocket.test.ts` - Message type tests
