+## Git Bash / MSYS Path Conversion Issue (Windows Host)
+
+**CRITICAL ISSUE**: Git Bash on Windows automatically converts Unix-style paths to Windows paths, which breaks Podman/Docker commands.
+
+### Problem Examples:
+
+```bash
+# This FAILS in Git Bash:
+podman exec container /usr/local/bin/script.sh
+# Git Bash converts to: C:/Program Files/Git/usr/local/bin/script.sh
+
+# This FAILS in Git Bash:
+podman exec container bash -c "cat /tmp/file.sql"
+# Git Bash converts /tmp to C:/Users/user/AppData/Local/Temp
+```
+
+### Solutions:
+
+1. **Use `sh -c` instead of `bash -c`** for single-quoted commands:
+
+   ```bash
+   podman exec container sh -c '/usr/local/bin/script.sh'
+   ```
+
+2. **Use double slashes** to escape path conversion:
+
+   ```bash
+   podman exec container //usr//local//bin//script.sh
+   ```
+
+3. **Set MSYS_NO_PATHCONV** environment variable:
+
+   ```bash
+   MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 podman exec container /usr/local/bin/script.sh
+   ```
+
+4. **Use Windows paths with forward slashes** when referencing host files:
+   ```bash
+   podman cp "d:/path/to/file" container:/tmp/file
+   ```
+
+**ALWAYS use one of these workarounds when running Bash commands on Windows that involve Unix paths inside containers.**

 ## Communication Style: Ask Before Assuming
 
 **IMPORTANT**: When helping with tasks, **ask clarifying questions before making assumptions**. Do not assume:

+
+## Key Achievement
+
+**ALL PHASES COMPLETE**. The normalized structure (stores → store_locations → addresses) is now fully integrated:
+
+- ✅ Database layer with full test coverage (59 tests)
+- ✅ TypeScript types and interfaces
+- ✅ REST API with 7 endpoints (17 route tests)
+- ✅ All E2E tests (3) using normalized structure
+- ✅ All integration tests (5) using normalized structure
+- ✅ Test helpers for easy store+address creation
+- ✅ All database queries returning store data now include addresses (5 queries updated)
+- ✅ Full admin UI for store management (CRUD operations)
+- ✅ Store display components for frontend use
+- ✅ Mock factories for all store-related types (3 new functions)
+- ✅ Cache invalidation for all store operations (5 endpoints)
+
+**What's Working:**
+
+- Stores can be created with or without addresses
+- Multiple locations per store are supported
+- Full CRUD operations via API with automatic cache invalidation
+- Admin can manage stores through web UI at `/admin/stores`
+- Type-safe throughout the stack
+- All flyers, deals, and admin queries include full store address information
+- StoreCard component available for displaying stores in flyer/deal listings
+- Mock factories available for testing components
+- Redis cache automatically invalidated on store mutations
+
+**No breaking changes** - existing code continues to work. Addresses are optional (stores can exist without locations).

+# Store Address Normalization Implementation Plan
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+**Problem**: The database schema has a properly normalized structure for stores and addresses (`stores` → `store_locations` → `addresses`), but the application code does NOT fully utilize this structure. Currently:
+
+- TypeScript types exist (`Store`, `Address`, `StoreLocation`) ✅
+- AddressRepository exists for basic CRUD ✅
+- E2E tests now create data using normalized structure ✅
+- **BUT**: No functionality to CREATE/MANAGE stores with addresses in the application
+- **BUT**: No API endpoints to handle store location data
+- **BUT**: No frontend forms to input address data when creating stores
+- **BUT**: Queries don't join stores with their addresses for display
+
+**Impact**: Users see stores without addresses, making features like "deals near me", "store finder", and location-based features impossible.
+
+---
+
+## Current State Analysis
+
+### ✅ What EXISTS and WORKS:
+
+1. **Database Schema**: Properly normalized (stores, addresses, store_locations)
+2. **TypeScript Types** ([src/types.ts](src/types.ts)):
+   - `Store` type (lines 2-9)
+   - `Address` type (lines 712-724)
+   - `StoreLocation` type (lines 704-710)
+3. **AddressRepository** ([src/services/db/address.db.ts](src/services/db/address.db.ts)):
+   - `getAddressById()`
+   - `upsertAddress()`
+4. **Test Helpers** ([src/tests/utils/storeHelpers.ts](src/tests/utils/storeHelpers.ts)):
+   - `createStoreWithLocation()` - for test data creation
+   - `cleanupStoreLocations()` - for test cleanup
+
+### ❌ What's MISSING:
+
+1. **No StoreRepository/StoreService** - No database layer for stores
+2. **No StoreLocationRepository** - No functions to link stores to addresses
+3. **No API endpoints** for:
+   - POST /api/stores - Create store with address
+   - GET /api/stores/:id - Get store with address(es)
+   - PUT /api/stores/:id - Update store details
+   - POST /api/stores/:id/locations - Add location to store
+   - etc.
+4. **No frontend components** for:
+   - Store creation form (with address fields)
+   - Store editing form
+   - Store location display
+5. **Queries don't join** - Existing queries (admin.db.ts, flyer.db.ts) join stores but don't include address data
+6. **No store management UI** - Admin dashboard doesn't have store management
+
+---
+
+## Detailed Investigation Findings
+
+### Places Where Stores Are Used (Need Address Data):
+
+1. **Flyer Display** ([src/features/flyer/FlyerDisplay.tsx](src/features/flyer/FlyerDisplay.tsx))
+   - Shows store name, but could show "Store @ 123 Main St, Toronto"
+
+2. **Deal Listings** (deals.db.ts queries)
+   - `deal_store_name` field exists (line 691 in types.ts)
+   - Should show "Milk $4.99 @ Store #123 (456 Oak Ave)"
+
+3. **Receipt Processing** (receipt.db.ts)
+   - Receipts link to store_id
+   - Could show "Receipt from Store @ 789 Budget St"
+
+4. **Admin Dashboard** (admin.db.ts)
+   - Joins stores for flyer review (line 720)
+   - Should show store address in admin views
+
+5. **Flyer Item Analysis** (admin.db.ts line 334)
+   - Joins stores for unmatched items
+   - Address context would help with store identification
+
+### Test Files That Need Updates:
+
+**Unit Tests** (may need store+address mocks):
+
+- src/services/db/flyer.db.test.ts
+- src/services/db/receipt.db.test.ts
+- src/services/aiService.server.test.ts
+- src/features/flyer/\*.test.tsx (various component tests)
+
+**Integration Tests** (create stores):
+
+- src/tests/integration/admin.integration.test.ts (line 164: INSERT INTO stores)
+- src/tests/integration/flyer.integration.test.ts (line 28: INSERT INTO stores)
+- src/tests/integration/price.integration.test.ts (line 48: INSERT INTO stores)
+- src/tests/integration/public.routes.integration.test.ts (line 66: INSERT INTO stores)
+- src/tests/integration/receipt.integration.test.ts (line 252: INSERT INTO stores)
+
+**E2E Tests** (already fixed):
+
+- ✅ src/tests/e2e/deals-journey.e2e.test.ts
+- ✅ src/tests/e2e/budget-journey.e2e.test.ts
+- ✅ src/tests/e2e/receipt-journey.e2e.test.ts

+
+## Implementation Plan (NO CODE YET - APPROVAL REQUIRED)
+
+### Phase 1: Database Layer (Foundation)
+
+#### 1.1 Create StoreRepository ([src/services/db/store.db.ts](src/services/db/store.db.ts))
+
+Functions needed:
+
+- `getStoreById(storeId)` - Returns Store (basic)
+- `getStoreWithLocations(storeId)` - Returns Store + Address[]
+- `getAllStores()` - Returns Store[] (basic)
+- `getAllStoresWithLocations()` - Returns Array<Store & {locations: Address[]}>
+- `createStore(name, logoUrl?, createdBy?)` - Returns storeId
+- `updateStore(storeId, updates)` - Updates name/logo
+- `deleteStore(storeId)` - Cascades to store_locations
+- `searchStoresByName(query)` - For autocomplete
+
+**Test file**: [src/services/db/store.db.test.ts](src/services/db/store.db.test.ts)
+
+#### 1.2 Create StoreLocationRepository ([src/services/db/storeLocation.db.ts](src/services/db/storeLocation.db.ts))
+
+Functions needed:
+
+- `createStoreLocation(storeId, addressId)` - Links store to address
+- `getLocationsByStoreId(storeId)` - Returns StoreLocation[] with Address data
+- `deleteStoreLocation(storeLocationId)` - Unlinks
+- `updateStoreLocation(storeLocationId, newAddressId)` - Changes address
+
+**Test file**: [src/services/db/storeLocation.db.test.ts](src/services/db/storeLocation.db.test.ts)
+
+#### 1.3 Enhance AddressRepository ([src/services/db/address.db.ts](src/services/db/address.db.ts))
+
+Add functions:
+
+- `searchAddressesByText(query)` - For autocomplete
+- `getAddressesByStoreId(storeId)` - Convenience method
+
+**Files to modify**:
+
+- [src/services/db/address.db.ts](src/services/db/address.db.ts)
+- [src/services/db/address.db.test.ts](src/services/db/address.db.test.ts)
+
+---
+
+### Phase 2: TypeScript Types & Validation
+
+#### 2.1 Add Extended Types ([src/types.ts](src/types.ts))
+
+```typescript
+// Store with address data for API responses
+export interface StoreWithLocation {
+  ...Store;
+  locations: Array<{
+    store_location_id: number;
+    address: Address;
+  }>;
+}
+
+// For API requests when creating store
+export interface CreateStoreRequest {
+  name: string;
+  logo_url?: string;
+  address?: {
+    address_line_1: string;
+    city: string;
+    province_state: string;
+    postal_code: string;
+    country?: string;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+#### 2.2 Add Zod Validation Schemas
+
+Create [src/schemas/store.schema.ts](src/schemas/store.schema.ts):
+
+- `createStoreSchema` - Validates POST /stores body
+- `updateStoreSchema` - Validates PUT /stores/:id body
+- `addLocationSchema` - Validates POST /stores/:id/locations body
+
+---
+
+### Phase 3: API Routes
+
+#### 3.1 Create Store Routes ([src/routes/store.routes.ts](src/routes/store.routes.ts))
+
+Endpoints:
+
+- `GET /api/stores` - List all stores (with pagination)
+  - Query params: `?includeLocations=true`, `?search=name`
+- `GET /api/stores/:id` - Get single store with locations
+- `POST /api/stores` - Create store (optionally with address)
+- `PUT /api/stores/:id` - Update store name/logo
+- `DELETE /api/stores/:id` - Delete store (admin only)
+- `POST /api/stores/:id/locations` - Add location to store
+- `DELETE /api/stores/:id/locations/:locationId` - Remove location
+
+**Test file**: [src/routes/store.routes.test.ts](src/routes/store.routes.test.ts)
+
+**Permissions**:
+
+- Create/Update/Delete: Admin only
+- Read: Public (for store listings in flyers/deals)
+
+#### 3.2 Update Existing Routes to Include Address Data
+
+**Files to modify**:
+
+- [src/routes/flyer.routes.ts](src/routes/flyer.routes.ts) - GET /flyers should include store address
+- [src/routes/deals.routes.ts](src/routes/deals.routes.ts) - GET /deals should include store address
+- [src/routes/receipt.routes.ts](src/routes/receipt.routes.ts) - GET /receipts/:id should include store address
+
+---
+
+### Phase 4: Update Database Queries
+
+#### 4.1 Modify Existing Queries to JOIN Addresses
+
+**Files to modify**:
+
+- [src/services/db/admin.db.ts](src/services/db/admin.db.ts)
+  - Line 334: JOIN store_locations and addresses for unmatched items
+  - Line 720: JOIN store_locations and addresses for flyers needing review
+
+- [src/services/db/flyer.db.ts](src/services/db/flyer.db.ts)
+  - Any query that returns flyers with store data
+
+- [src/services/db/deals.db.ts](src/services/db/deals.db.ts)
+  - Add address fields to deal queries
+
+**Pattern to use**:
+
+```sql
+SELECT
+  s.*,
+  json_agg(
+    json_build_object(
+      'store_location_id', sl.store_location_id,
+      'address', row_to_json(a.*)
+    )
+  ) FILTER (WHERE sl.store_location_id IS NOT NULL) as locations
+FROM stores s
+LEFT JOIN store_locations sl ON s.store_id = sl.store_id
+LEFT JOIN addresses a ON sl.address_id = a.address_id
+GROUP BY s.store_id
+```
+
+---
+
+### Phase 5: Frontend Components
+
+#### 5.1 Admin Store Management
+
+Create [src/pages/admin/components/AdminStoreManager.tsx](src/pages/admin/components/AdminStoreManager.tsx):
+
+- Table listing all stores with locations
+- Create store button → opens modal/form
+- Edit store button → opens modal with store+address data
+- Delete store button (with confirmation)
+
+#### 5.2 Store Form Component
+
+Create [src/features/store/StoreForm.tsx](src/features/store/StoreForm.tsx):
+
+- Store name input
+- Logo URL input
+- Address section:
+  - Address line 1 (required)
+  - City (required)
+  - Province/State (required)
+  - Postal code (required)
+  - Country (default: Canada)
+- Reusable for create & edit
+
+#### 5.3 Store Display Components
+
+Create [src/features/store/StoreCard.tsx](src/features/store/StoreCard.tsx):
+
+- Shows store name + logo
+- Shows primary address (if exists)
+- "View all locations" link (if multiple)
+
+Update existing components to use StoreCard:
+
+- Flyer listings
+- Deal listings
+- Receipt displays
+
+#### 5.4 Location Selector Component
+
+Create [src/features/store/LocationSelector.tsx](src/features/store/LocationSelector.tsx):
+
+- Dropdown or map view
+- Filter stores by proximity (future: use lat/long)
+- Used in "Find deals near me" feature
+
+---
+
+### Phase 6: Update Integration Tests
+
+All integration tests that create stores need to use `createStoreWithLocation()`:
+
+**Files to update** (5 files):
+
+1. [src/tests/integration/admin.integration.test.ts](src/tests/integration/admin.integration.test.ts) (line 164)
+2. [src/tests/integration/flyer.integration.test.ts](src/tests/integration/flyer.integration.test.ts) (line 28)
+3. [src/tests/integration/price.integration.test.ts](src/tests/integration/price.integration.test.ts) (line 48)
+4. [src/tests/integration/public.routes.integration.test.ts](src/tests/integration/public.routes.integration.test.ts) (line 66)
+5. [src/tests/integration/receipt.integration.test.ts](src/tests/integration/receipt.integration.test.ts) (line 252)
+
+**Change pattern**:
+
+```typescript
+// OLD:
+const storeResult = await pool.query('INSERT INTO stores (name) VALUES ($1) RETURNING store_id', [
+  'Test Store',
+]);
+
+// NEW:
+import { createStoreWithLocation } from '../utils/storeHelpers';
+const store = await createStoreWithLocation(pool, {
+  name: 'Test Store',
+  address: '123 Test St',
+  city: 'Test City',
+  province: 'ON',
+  postalCode: 'M5V 1A1',
+});
+const storeId = store.storeId;
+```
+
+---
+
+### Phase 7: Update Unit Tests & Mocks
+
+#### 7.1 Update Mock Factories
+
+[src/tests/utils/mockFactories.ts](src/tests/utils/mockFactories.ts) - Add:
+
+- `createMockStore(overrides?): Store`
+- `createMockAddress(overrides?): Address`
+- `createMockStoreLocation(overrides?): StoreLocation`
+- `createMockStoreWithLocation(overrides?): StoreWithLocation`
+
+#### 7.2 Update Component Tests
+
+Files that display stores need updated mocks:
+
+- [src/features/flyer/FlyerDisplay.test.tsx](src/features/flyer/FlyerDisplay.test.tsx)
+- [src/features/flyer/FlyerList.test.tsx](src/features/flyer/FlyerList.test.tsx)
+- Any other components that show store data
+
+---
+
+### Phase 8: Schema Migration (IF NEEDED)
+
+**Check**: Do we need to migrate existing data?
+
+- If production has stores without addresses, we need to handle this
+- Options:
+  1. Make addresses optional (store can exist without location)
+  2. Create "Unknown Location" placeholder addresses
+  3. Manual data entry for existing stores
+
+**Migration file**: [sql/migrations/XXX_add_store_locations_data.sql](sql/migrations/XXX_add_store_locations_data.sql) (if needed)
+
+---
+
+### Phase 9: Documentation & Cache Invalidation
+
+#### 9.1 Update API Documentation
+
+- Add store endpoints to API docs
+- Document request/response formats
+- Add examples
+
+#### 9.2 Cache Invalidation
+
+[src/services/cacheService.server.ts](src/services/cacheService.server.ts):
+
+- Add `invalidateStores()` method
+- Add `invalidateStoreLocations(storeId)` method
+- Call after create/update/delete operations
+
+---

+
+### Files to Modify (20+ files):
+
+**Database Layer (3)**:
+
+- `src/services/db/address.db.ts` - Add search functions
+- `src/services/db/admin.db.ts` - Update JOINs
+- `src/services/db/flyer.db.ts` - Update JOINs

+
+- `src/tests/integration/admin.integration.test.ts`
+- `src/tests/integration/flyer.integration.test.ts`
+- `src/tests/integration/price.integration.test.ts`
+- `src/tests/integration/public.routes.integration.test.ts`

+- Any components displaying store data
+
+**Services (1)**:
+
+- `src/services/cacheService.server.ts` - Add store cache methods
+
+---
+
+## Estimated Complexity
+
+**Low Complexity** (Well-defined, straightforward):
+
+- Phase 1: Database repositories (patterns exist)
+- Phase 2: Type definitions (simple)
+- Phase 6: Update integration tests (mechanical)
+
+**Medium Complexity** (Requires design decisions):
+
+- Phase 3: API routes (standard REST)
+- Phase 4: Update queries (SQL JOINs)
+- Phase 7: Update mocks (depends on types)
+- Phase 9: Cache invalidation (pattern exists)
+
+**High Complexity** (Requires UX design, edge cases):
+
+- Phase 5: Frontend components (UI/UX decisions)
+- Phase 8: Data migration (if needed)
+- Multi-location handling (one store, many addresses)
+
+---
+
+## Dependencies & Risks
+
+**Critical Dependencies**:
+
+1. Address data quality - garbage in, garbage out
+2. Google Maps API integration (future) - for geocoding/validation
+3. Multi-location handling - some stores have 100+ locations
+
+**Risks**:
+
+1. **Breaking changes**: Existing queries might break if address data is required
+2. **Performance**: Joining 3 tables (stores+store_locations+addresses) could be slow
+3. **Data migration**: Existing production stores have no addresses
+4. **Scope creep**: "Find stores near me" leads to mapping features
+
+**Mitigation**:
+
+- Make addresses OPTIONAL initially
+- Add database indexes on foreign keys
+- Use caching aggressively
+- Implement in phases (can stop after Phase 3 and assess)
+
+---
+
+## Questions for Approval
+
+1. **Scope**: Implement all 9 phases, or start with Phase 1-3 (backend only)?
+2. **Addresses required**: Should stores REQUIRE an address, or is it optional?
+3. **Multi-location**: How to handle store chains with many locations?
+   - Option A: One "primary" location
+   - Option B: All locations equal
+   - Option C: User selects location when viewing deals
+4. **Existing data**: How to handle production stores without addresses?
+5. **Priority**: Is this blocking other features, or can it wait?
+6. **Frontend design**: Do we have mockups for store management UI?
+
+---
+
+## Approval Checklist
+

+# 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
+
+---

+| store_locations       | store_id, address_id        | ✅ Already correct                    | ✅ Correct      | ✅ Good  |
+

+
+## 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

+
+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"
+```

+# Testing Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+This project has comprehensive test coverage including unit tests, integration tests, and E2E tests. All tests must be run in the **Linux dev container environment** for reliable results.
+
+## Test Execution Environment
+
+**CRITICAL**: All tests and type-checking MUST be executed inside the dev container (Linux environment).
+
+### Why Linux Only?
+
+- Path separators: Code uses POSIX-style paths (`/`) which may break on Windows
+- TypeScript compilation works differently on Windows vs Linux
+- Shell scripts and external dependencies assume Linux
+- Test results from Windows are **unreliable and should be ignored**
+
+### Running Tests Correctly
+
+#### Option 1: Inside Dev Container (Recommended)
+
+Open VS Code and use "Reopen in Container", then:
+
+```bash
+npm test                    # Run all tests
+npm run test:unit          # Run unit tests only
+npm run test:integration   # Run integration tests
+npm run type-check         # Run TypeScript type checking
+```
+
+#### Option 2: Via Podman from Windows Host
+
+From the Windows host, execute commands in the container:
+
+```bash
+# Run unit tests (2900+ tests - pipe to file for AI processing)
+podman exec -it flyer-crawler-dev npm run test:unit 2>&1 | tee test-results.txt
+
+# Run integration tests
+podman exec -it flyer-crawler-dev npm run test:integration
+
+# Run type checking
+podman exec -it flyer-crawler-dev npm run type-check
+
+# Run specific test file
+podman exec -it flyer-crawler-dev npm test -- --run src/hooks/useAuth.test.tsx
+```
+
+## Type Checking
+
+TypeScript type checking is performed using `tsc --noEmit`.
+
+### Type Check Command
+
+```bash
+npm run type-check
+```
+
+### Type Check Validation
+
+The type-check command will:
+
+- Exit with code 0 if no errors are found
+- Exit with non-zero code and print errors if type errors exist
+- Check all files in the `src/` directory as defined in `tsconfig.json`
+
+**IMPORTANT**: Type-check on Windows may not show errors reliably. Always verify type-check results by running in the dev container.
+
+### Verifying Type Check Works
+
+To verify type-check is working correctly:
+
+1. Run type-check in dev container: `podman exec -it flyer-crawler-dev npm run type-check`
+2. Check for output - errors will be displayed with file paths and line numbers
+3. No output + exit code 0 = no type errors
+
+Example error output:
+
+```
+src/pages/MyDealsPage.tsx:68:31 - error TS2339: Property 'store_name' does not exist on type 'WatchedItemDeal'.
+
+68                   <span>{deal.store_name}</span>
+                                  ~~~~~~~~~~
+```
+
+## Pre-Commit Hooks
+
+The project uses Husky and lint-staged for pre-commit validation:
+
+```bash
+# .husky/pre-commit
+npx lint-staged
+```
+
+Lint-staged configuration (`.lintstagedrc.json`):
+
+```json
+{
+  "*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}": ["eslint --fix --no-color", "prettier --write"],
+  "*.{json,md,css,html,yml,yaml}": ["prettier --write"]
+}
+```
+
+**Note**: The `--no-color` flag prevents ANSI color codes from breaking file path links in git output.
+
+## Test Suite Structure
+
+### Unit Tests (~2900 tests)
+
+Located throughout `src/` directory alongside source files with `.test.ts` or `.test.tsx` extensions.
+
+```bash
+npm run test:unit
+```
+
+### Integration Tests (5 test files)
+
+Located in `src/tests/integration/`:
+
+- `admin.integration.test.ts`
+- `flyer.integration.test.ts`
+- `price.integration.test.ts`
+- `public.routes.integration.test.ts`
+- `receipt.integration.test.ts`
+
+Requires PostgreSQL and Redis services running.
+
+```bash
+npm run test:integration
+```
+
+### E2E Tests (3 test files)
+
+Located in `src/tests/e2e/`:
+
+- `deals-journey.e2e.test.ts`
+- `budget-journey.e2e.test.ts`
+- `receipt-journey.e2e.test.ts`
+
+Requires all services (PostgreSQL, Redis, BullMQ workers) running.
+
+```bash
+npm run test:e2e
+```
+
+## Test Result Interpretation
+
+- Tests that **pass on Windows but fail on Linux** = **BROKEN tests** (must be fixed)
+- Tests that **fail on Windows but pass on Linux** = **PASSING tests** (acceptable)
+- Always use **Linux (dev container) results** as the source of truth
+
+## Test Helpers
+
+### Store Test Helpers
+
+Located in `src/tests/utils/storeHelpers.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+// Create a store with a location in one call
+const store = await createStoreWithLocation({
+  storeName: 'Test Store',
+  address: {
+    address_line_1: '123 Main St',
+    city: 'Toronto',
+    province_state: 'ON',
+    postal_code: 'M1M 1M1',
+  },
+  pool,
+  log,
+});
+
+// Cleanup stores and their locations
+await cleanupStoreLocations([storeId1, storeId2], pool, log);
+```
+
+### Mock Factories
+
+Located in `src/tests/utils/mockFactories.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+// Create mock data for tests
+const mockStore = createMockStore({ name: 'Test Store' });
+const mockAddress = createMockAddress({ city: 'Toronto' });
+const mockStoreLocation = createMockStoreLocationWithAddress();
+const mockStoreWithLocations = createMockStoreWithLocations({
+  locations: [{ address: { city: 'Toronto' } }],
+});
+```
+
+## Known Integration Test Issues
+
+See `CLAUDE.md` for documentation of common integration test issues and their solutions, including:
+
+1. Vitest globalSetup context isolation
+2. BullMQ cleanup queue timing issues
+3. Cache invalidation after direct database inserts
+4. Unique filename requirements for file uploads
+5. Response format mismatches
+6. External service availability
+
+## Continuous Integration
+
+Tests run automatically on:
+
+- Pre-commit (via Husky hooks)
+- Pull request creation/update (via Gitea CI/CD)
+- Merge to main branch (via Gitea CI/CD)
+
+CI/CD configuration:
+
+- `.gitea/workflows/deploy-to-prod.yml`
+- `.gitea/workflows/deploy-to-test.yml`
+
+## Coverage Reports
+
+Test coverage is tracked using Vitest's built-in coverage tools.
+
+```bash
+npm run test:coverage
+```
+
+Coverage reports are generated in the `coverage/` directory.
+
+## Debugging Tests
+
+### Enable Verbose Logging
+
+```bash
+# Run tests with verbose output
+npm test -- --reporter=verbose
+
+# Run specific test with logging
+DEBUG=* npm test -- --run src/path/to/test.test.ts
+```
+
+### Using Vitest UI
+
+```bash
+npm run test:ui
+```
+
+Opens a browser-based test runner with filtering and debugging capabilities.
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Always run tests in dev container** - never trust Windows test results
+2. **Run type-check before committing** - catches TypeScript errors early
+3. **Use test helpers** - `createStoreWithLocation()`, mock factories, etc.
+4. **Clean up test data** - use cleanup helpers in `afterEach`/`afterAll`
+5. **Verify cache invalidation** - tests that insert data directly must invalidate cache
+6. **Use unique filenames** - file upload tests need timestamp-based filenames
+7. **Check exit codes** - `npm run type-check` returns 0 on success, non-zero on error

+# 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

+  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.

+- `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.

 **Date**: 2025-12-12
 
-**Status**: Proposed
+**Status**: Accepted
+
+**Implemented**: 2026-01-19
 
 ## 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);
+```

+
+## 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.
-**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.
+### Positive
+
+- **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

+# ADR-023: Database Normalization and Referential Integrity
+
+**Date:** 2026-01-19
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Context:** API design violates database normalization principles
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+The application's API layer currently accepts string-based references (category names) instead of numerical IDs when creating relationships between entities. This violates database normalization principles and creates a brittle, error-prone API contract.
+
+**Example of Current Problem:**
+
+```typescript
+// API accepts string:
+POST /api/users/watched-items
+{ "itemName": "Milk", "category": "Dairy & Eggs" }  // ❌ String reference
+
+// But database uses normalized foreign keys:
+CREATE TABLE master_grocery_items (
+  category_id BIGINT REFERENCES categories(category_id)  -- ✅ Proper FK
+)
+```
+
+This mismatch forces the service layer to perform string lookups on every request:
+
+```typescript
+// Service must do string matching:
+const categoryRes = await client.query(
+  'SELECT category_id FROM categories WHERE name = $1',
+  [categoryName], // ❌ Error-prone string matching
+);
+```
+
+## Database Normal Forms (In Order of Importance)
+
+### 1. First Normal Form (1NF) ✅ Currently Satisfied
+
+**Rule:** Each column contains atomic values; no repeating groups.
+
+**Status:** ✅ **Compliant**
+
+- All columns contain single values
+- No arrays or delimited strings in columns
+- Each row is uniquely identifiable
+
+**Example:**
+
+```sql
+-- ✅ Good: Atomic values
+CREATE TABLE master_grocery_items (
+  master_grocery_item_id BIGINT PRIMARY KEY,
+  name TEXT,
+  category_id BIGINT
+);
+
+-- ❌ Bad: Non-atomic values (violates 1NF)
+CREATE TABLE items (
+  id BIGINT,
+  categories TEXT  -- "Dairy,Frozen,Snacks" (comma-delimited)
+);
+```
+
+### 2. Second Normal Form (2NF) ✅ Currently Satisfied
+
+**Rule:** No partial dependencies; all non-key columns depend on the entire primary key.
+
+**Status:** ✅ **Compliant**
+
+- All tables use single-column primary keys (no composite keys)
+- All non-key columns depend on the entire primary key
+
+**Example:**
+
+```sql
+-- ✅ Good: All columns depend on full primary key
+CREATE TABLE flyer_items (
+  flyer_item_id BIGINT PRIMARY KEY,
+  flyer_id BIGINT,           -- Depends on flyer_item_id
+  master_item_id BIGINT,     -- Depends on flyer_item_id
+  price_in_cents INT         -- Depends on flyer_item_id
+);
+
+-- ❌ Bad: Partial dependency (violates 2NF)
+CREATE TABLE flyer_items (
+  flyer_id BIGINT,
+  item_id BIGINT,
+  store_name TEXT,    -- Depends only on flyer_id, not (flyer_id, item_id)
+  PRIMARY KEY (flyer_id, item_id)
+);
+```
+
+### 3. Third Normal Form (3NF) ⚠️ VIOLATED IN API LAYER
+
+**Rule:** No transitive dependencies; non-key columns depend only on the primary key, not on other non-key columns.
+
+**Status:** ⚠️ **Database is compliant, but API layer violates this principle**
+
+**Database Schema (Correct):**
+
+```sql
+-- ✅ Categories are normalized
+CREATE TABLE categories (
+  category_id BIGINT PRIMARY KEY,
+  name TEXT NOT NULL UNIQUE
+);
+
+CREATE TABLE master_grocery_items (
+  master_grocery_item_id BIGINT PRIMARY KEY,
+  name TEXT,
+  category_id BIGINT REFERENCES categories(category_id)  -- Direct reference
+);
+```
+
+**API Layer (Violates 3NF Principle):**
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ API accepts category name instead of ID
+POST /api/users/watched-items
+{
+  "itemName": "Milk",
+  "category": "Dairy & Eggs"  // String! Should be category_id
+}
+
+// Service layer must denormalize by doing lookup:
+SELECT category_id FROM categories WHERE name = $1
+```
+
+This creates a **transitive dependency** in the application layer:
+
+- `watched_item` → `category_name` → `category_id`
+- Instead of direct: `watched_item` → `category_id`
+
+### 4. Boyce-Codd Normal Form (BCNF) ✅ Currently Satisfied
+
+**Rule:** Every determinant is a candidate key (stricter version of 3NF).
+
+**Status:** ✅ **Compliant**
+
+- All foreign key references use primary keys
+- No non-trivial functional dependencies where determinant is not a superkey
+
+### 5. Fourth Normal Form (4NF) ✅ Currently Satisfied
+
+**Rule:** No multi-valued dependencies; a record should not contain independent multi-valued facts.
+
+**Status:** ✅ **Compliant**
+
+- Junction tables properly separate many-to-many relationships
+- Examples: `user_watched_items`, `shopping_list_items`, `recipe_ingredients`
+
+### 6. Fifth Normal Form (5NF) ✅ Currently Satisfied
+
+**Rule:** No join dependencies; tables cannot be decomposed further without loss of information.
+
+**Status:** ✅ **Compliant** (as far as schema design goes)
+
+## Impact of API Violation
+
+### 1. Brittleness
+
+```typescript
+// Test fails because of exact string matching:
+addWatchedItem('Milk', 'Dairy'); // ❌ Fails - not exact match
+addWatchedItem('Milk', 'Dairy & Eggs'); // ✅ Works - exact match
+addWatchedItem('Milk', 'dairy & eggs'); // ❌ Fails - case sensitive
+```
+
+### 2. No Discovery Mechanism
+
+- No API endpoint to list available categories
+- Frontend cannot dynamically populate dropdowns
+- Clients must hardcode category names
+
+### 3. Performance Penalty
+
+```sql
+-- Current: String lookup on every request
+SELECT category_id FROM categories WHERE name = $1;  -- Full table scan or index scan
+
+-- Should be: Direct ID reference (no lookup needed)
+INSERT INTO master_grocery_items (name, category_id) VALUES ($1, $2);
+```
+
+### 4. Impossible Localization
+
+- Cannot translate category names without breaking API
+- Category names are hardcoded in English
+
+### 5. Maintenance Burden
+
+- Renaming a category breaks all API clients
+- Must coordinate name changes across frontend, tests, and documentation
+
+## Decision
+
+**We adopt the following principles for all API design:**
+
+### 1. Use Numerical IDs for All Foreign Key References
+
+**Rule:** APIs MUST accept numerical IDs when creating relationships between entities.
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ CORRECT: Use IDs
+POST /api/users/watched-items
+{
+  "itemName": "Milk",
+  "category_id": 3  // Numerical ID
+}
+
+// ❌ INCORRECT: Use strings
+POST /api/users/watched-items
+{
+  "itemName": "Milk",
+  "category": "Dairy & Eggs"  // String name
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Provide Discovery Endpoints
+
+**Rule:** For any entity referenced by ID, provide a GET endpoint to list available options.
+
+```typescript
+// Required: Category discovery endpoint
+GET / api / categories;
+Response: [
+  { category_id: 1, name: 'Fruits & Vegetables' },
+  { category_id: 2, name: 'Meat & Seafood' },
+  { category_id: 3, name: 'Dairy & Eggs' },
+];
+```
+
+### 3. Support Lookup by Name (Optional)
+
+**Rule:** If convenient, provide query parameters for name-based lookup, but use IDs internally.
+
+```typescript
+// Optional: Convenience endpoint
+GET /api/categories?name=Dairy%20%26%20Eggs
+Response: { "category_id": 3, "name": "Dairy & Eggs" }
+```
+
+### 4. Return Full Objects in Responses
+
+**Rule:** API responses SHOULD include denormalized data for convenience, but inputs MUST use IDs.
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Response includes category details
+GET / api / users / watched - items;
+Response: [
+  {
+    master_grocery_item_id: 42,
+    name: 'Milk',
+    category_id: 3,
+    category: {
+      // ✅ Include full object in response
+      category_id: 3,
+      name: 'Dairy & Eggs',
+    },
+  },
+];
+```
+
+## Affected Areas
+
+### Immediate Violations (Must Fix)
+
+1. **User Watched Items** ([src/routes/user.routes.ts:76](../../src/routes/user.routes.ts))
+   - Currently: `category: string`
+   - Should be: `category_id: number`
+
+2. **Service Layer** ([src/services/db/personalization.db.ts:175](../../src/services/db/personalization.db.ts))
+   - Currently: `categoryName: string`
+   - Should be: `categoryId: number`
+
+3. **API Client** ([src/services/apiClient.ts:436](../../src/services/apiClient.ts))
+   - Currently: `category: string`
+   - Should be: `category_id: number`
+
+4. **Frontend Hooks** ([src/hooks/mutations/useAddWatchedItemMutation.ts:9](../../src/hooks/mutations/useAddWatchedItemMutation.ts))
+   - Currently: `category?: string`
+   - Should be: `category_id: number`
+
+### Potential Violations (Review Required)
+
+1. **UPC/Barcode System** ([src/types/upc.ts:85](../../src/types/upc.ts))
+   - Uses `category: string | null`
+   - May be appropriate if category is free-form user input
+
+2. **AI Extraction** ([src/types/ai.ts:21](../../src/types/ai.ts))
+   - Uses `category_name: z.string()`
+   - AI extracts category names, needs mapping to IDs
+
+3. **Flyer Data Transformer** ([src/services/flyerDataTransformer.ts:40](../../src/services/flyerDataTransformer.ts))
+   - Uses `category_name: string`
+   - May need category matching/creation logic
+
+## Migration Strategy
+
+See [research-category-id-migration.md](../research-category-id-migration.md) for detailed migration plan.
+
+**High-level approach:**
+
+1. **Phase 1: Add category discovery endpoint** (non-breaking)
+   - `GET /api/categories`
+   - No API changes yet
+
+2. **Phase 2: Support both formats** (non-breaking)
+   - Accept both `category` (string) and `category_id` (number)
+   - Deprecate string format with warning logs
+
+3. **Phase 3: Remove string support** (breaking change, major version bump)
+   - Only accept `category_id`
+   - Update all clients and tests
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- ✅ API matches database schema design
+- ✅ More robust (no typo-based failures)
+- ✅ Better performance (no string lookups)
+- ✅ Enables localization
+- ✅ Discoverable via REST API
+- ✅ Follows REST best practices
+
+### Negative
+
+- ⚠️ Breaking change for existing API consumers
+- ⚠️ Requires client updates
+- ⚠️ More complex migration path
+
+### Neutral
+
+- Frontend must fetch categories before displaying form
+- Slightly more initial API calls (one-time category fetch)

+# Research: Separating E2E Tests from Integration Tests
+
+**Date:** 2026-01-19
+**Status:** In Progress
+**Context:** E2E tests exist with their own config but are not being run separately
+
+## Current State
+
+### Test Structure
+
+- **Unit tests**: `src/tests/unit/` (but most are co-located with source files)
+- **Integration tests**: `src/tests/integration/` (28 test files)
+- **E2E tests**: `src/tests/e2e/` (11 test files) **← NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING**
+
+### Configurations
+
+| Config File                    | Project Name  | Environment | Port | Include Pattern                            |
+| ------------------------------ | ------------- | ----------- | ---- | ------------------------------------------ |
+| `vite.config.ts`               | `unit`        | jsdom       | N/A  | Component/hook tests                       |
+| `vitest.config.integration.ts` | `integration` | node        | 3099 | `src/tests/integration/**/*.test.{ts,tsx}` |
+| `vitest.config.e2e.ts`         | `e2e`         | node        | 3098 | `src/tests/e2e/**/*.e2e.test.ts`           |
+
+### Workspace Configuration
+
+**`vitest.workspace.ts` currently includes:**
+
+```typescript
+export default [
+  'vite.config.ts', // Unit tests
+  'vitest.config.integration.ts', // Integration tests
+  // ❌ vitest.config.e2e.ts is NOT included!
+];
+```
+
+### NPM Scripts
+
+```json
+{
+  "test": "node scripts/check-linux.js && cross-env NODE_ENV=test tsx ./node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run",
+  "test:unit": "... --project unit ...",
+  "test:integration": "... --project integration ..."
+  // ❌ NO test:e2e script exists!
+}
+```
+
+### CI/CD Status
+
+**`.gitea/workflows/deploy-to-test.yml` runs:**
+
+- ✅ `npm run test:unit -- --coverage`
+- ✅ `npm run test:integration -- --coverage`
+- ❌ E2E tests are NOT run in CI
+
+## Key Findings
+
+### 1. E2E Tests Are Orphaned
+
+- 11 E2E test files exist but are never executed
+- E2E config file exists (`vitest.config.e2e.ts`) but is not referenced anywhere
+- No npm script to run E2E tests
+- Not included in vitest workspace
+- Not run in CI/CD pipeline
+
+### 2. When Were E2E Tests Created?
+
+Git history shows E2E config was added in commit `e66027d` ("fix e2e and deploy to prod"), but:
+
+- It was never added to the workspace
+- It was never added to CI
+- No test:e2e script was created
+
+This suggests the E2E separation was **started but never completed**.
+
+### 3. How Are Tests Currently Run?
+
+**Locally:**
+
+- `npm test` → runs workspace (unit + integration only)
+- `npm run test:unit` → runs only unit tests
+- `npm run test:integration` → runs only integration tests
+- E2E tests: **Not accessible via any command**
+
+**In CI:**
+
+- Only `test:unit` and `test:integration` are run
+- E2E tests are never executed
+
+### 4. Port Allocation
+
+- Integration tests: Port 3099
+- E2E tests: Port 3098 (configured but never used)
+- No conflicts if both run sequentially
+
+## E2E Test Files (11 total)
+
+1. `admin-authorization.e2e.test.ts`
+2. `admin-dashboard.e2e.test.ts`
+3. `auth.e2e.test.ts`
+4. `budget-journey.e2e.test.ts`
+5. `deals-journey.e2e.test.ts` ← Just fixed URL constraint issue
+6. `error-reporting.e2e.test.ts`
+7. `flyer-upload.e2e.test.ts`
+8. `inventory-journey.e2e.test.ts`

+## Problems to Solve
+
+### Immediate Issues
+
+1. **E2E tests are not running** - Code exists but is never executed
+2. **No way to run E2E tests** - No npm script or CI job
+3. **Coverage gaps** - E2E scenarios are untested in practice
+4. **False sense of security** - Team may think E2E tests are running
+
+### Implementation Challenges
+
+#### 1. Adding E2E to Workspace
+
+**Option A: Add to workspace**
+
+```typescript
+// vitest.workspace.ts
+export default [
+  'vite.config.ts',
+  'vitest.config.integration.ts',
+  'vitest.config.e2e.ts', // ← Add this
+];
+```
+
+**Impact:** E2E tests would run with `npm test`, increasing test time significantly
+
+**Option B: Keep separate**
+
+- E2E remains outside workspace
+- Requires explicit `npm run test:e2e` command
+- CI would need separate step for E2E tests
+
+#### 2. Adding NPM Script
+
+```json
+{
+  "test:e2e": "node scripts/check-linux.js && cross-env NODE_ENV=test tsx --max-old-space-size=8192 ./node_modules/vitest/vitest.mjs run --project e2e -c vitest.config.e2e.ts"
+}
+```
+
+**Dependencies:**
+
+- Uses same global setup pattern as integration tests
+- Requires server to be stopped first (like integration tests)
+- Port 3098 must be available
+
+#### 3. CI/CD Integration
+
+**Add to `.gitea/workflows/deploy-to-test.yml`:**
+
+```yaml
+- name: Run E2E Tests
+  run: |
+    npm run test:e2e -- --coverage \
+      --reporter=verbose \
+      --includeTaskLocation \
+      --testTimeout=120000 \
+      --silent=passed-only
+```
+
+**Questions:**
+
+- Should E2E run before or after integration tests?
+- Should E2E failures block deployment?
+- Should E2E have separate coverage reports?
+
+#### 4. Test Organization Questions
+
+- Are current "integration" tests actually E2E tests?
+- Should some E2E tests be moved to integration?
+- What's the distinction between integration and E2E in this project?
+
+#### 5. Coverage Implications
+
+- E2E tests have separate coverage directory: `.coverage/e2e`
+- Integration tests: `.coverage/integration`
+- How to merge coverage from all test types?
+- Do we need combined coverage reports?
+
+## Recommended Approach
+
+### Phase 1: Quick Fix (Enable E2E Tests)
+
+1. ✅ Fix any failing E2E tests (like URL constraints)
+2. Add `test:e2e` npm script
+3. Document how to run E2E tests manually
+4. Do NOT add to workspace yet (keep separate)
+
+### Phase 2: CI Integration
+
+1. Add E2E test step to `.gitea/workflows/deploy-to-test.yml`
+2. Run after integration tests pass
+3. Allow failures initially (monitor results)
+4. Make blocking once stable
+
+### Phase 3: Optimize
+
+1. Review test categorization (integration vs E2E)
+2. Consider adding to workspace if test time is acceptable
+3. Merge coverage reports if needed
+4. Document test strategy in testing docs
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Create `test:e2e` script** in package.json
+2. **Run E2E tests manually** to verify they work
+3. **Fix any failing E2E tests**
+4. **Document E2E testing** in TESTING.md
+5. **Add to CI** once stable
+6. **Consider workspace integration** after CI is stable
+
+## Questions for Team
+
+1. Why were E2E tests never fully integrated?
+2. Should E2E tests run on every commit or separately?
+3. What's the acceptable test time for local development?
+4. Should we run E2E tests in parallel or sequentially with integration?
