+## Logstash Configuration (ADR-050)
+
+The production server uses **Logstash** to aggregate logs from multiple sources and forward errors to Bugsink for centralized error tracking.
+
+**Log Sources:**
+
+- **PostgreSQL function logs** - Structured JSON logs from `fn_log()` helper function
+- **PM2 worker logs** - Service logs from BullMQ job workers (stdout)
+- **Redis logs** - Operational logs (INFO level) and errors
+- **NGINX logs** - Access logs (all requests) and error logs
+
+### Configuration Location
+
+**Primary configuration file:**
+
+- `/etc/logstash/conf.d/bugsink.conf` - Complete Logstash pipeline configuration
+
+**Related files:**
+
+- `/etc/postgresql/14/main/conf.d/observability.conf` - PostgreSQL logging configuration
+- `/var/log/postgresql/*.log` - PostgreSQL log files
+- `/home/gitea-runner/.pm2/logs/*.log` - PM2 worker logs
+- `/var/log/redis/redis-server.log` - Redis logs
+- `/var/log/nginx/access.log` - NGINX access logs
+- `/var/log/nginx/error.log` - NGINX error logs
+- `/var/log/logstash/*.log` - Logstash file outputs (operational logs)
+- `/var/lib/logstash/sincedb_*` - Logstash position tracking files
+
+### Key Features
+
+1. **Multi-source aggregation**: Collects logs from PostgreSQL, PM2 workers, Redis, and NGINX
+2. **Environment-based routing**: Automatically detects production vs test environments and routes errors to the correct Bugsink project
+3. **Structured JSON parsing**: Extracts `fn_log()` function output from PostgreSQL logs and Pino JSON from PM2 workers
+4. **Sentry-compatible format**: Transforms events to Sentry format with `event_id`, `timestamp`, `level`, `message`, and `extra` context
+5. **Error filtering**: Only forwards WARNING and ERROR level messages to Bugsink
+6. **Operational log storage**: Stores non-error logs (Redis INFO, NGINX access, PM2 operational) to `/var/log/logstash/` for analysis
+7. **Request monitoring**: Categorizes NGINX requests by status code (2xx, 3xx, 4xx, 5xx) and identifies slow requests
+
+### Common Maintenance Commands
+
+```bash
+# Check Logstash status
+systemctl status logstash
+
+# Restart Logstash after configuration changes
+systemctl restart logstash
+
+# Test configuration syntax
+/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash --config.test_and_exit -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/bugsink.conf
+
+# View Logstash logs
+journalctl -u logstash -f
+
+# Check Logstash stats (events processed, failures)
+curl -XGET 'localhost:9600/_node/stats/pipelines?pretty' | jq '.pipelines.main.plugins.filters'
+
+# Monitor PostgreSQL logs being processed
+tail -f /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log
+
+# View operational log outputs
+tail -f /var/log/logstash/pm2-workers-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log
+tail -f /var/log/logstash/redis-operational-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log
+tail -f /var/log/logstash/nginx-access-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log
+
+# Check disk usage of log files
+du -sh /var/log/logstash/

+## PostgreSQL Function Observability (ADR-050)
+
+PostgreSQL function observability provides structured logging and error tracking for database functions, preventing silent failures. This setup forwards database errors to Bugsink for centralized monitoring.
+
+See [ADR-050](adr/0050-postgresql-function-observability.md) for the full architecture decision.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- PostgreSQL 14+ installed and running
+- Logstash installed and configured (see [Logstash section](#logstash-log-aggregation) above)
+- Bugsink running at `https://bugsink.projectium.com`
+
+### Step 1: Configure PostgreSQL Logging
+
+Create the observability configuration file:
+
+```bash
+sudo nano /etc/postgresql/14/main/conf.d/observability.conf
+```
+
+Add the following content:
+
+```ini
+# PostgreSQL Logging Configuration for Database Function Observability (ADR-050)
+
+# Enable logging to files for Logstash pickup
+logging_collector = on
+log_destination = 'stderr'
+log_directory = '/var/log/postgresql'
+log_filename = 'postgresql-%Y-%m-%d.log'
+log_rotation_age = 1d
+log_rotation_size = 100MB
+log_truncate_on_rotation = on
+
+# Log level - capture NOTICE and above (includes fn_log WARNING/ERROR)
+log_min_messages = notice
+client_min_messages = notice
+
+# Include useful context in log prefix
+log_line_prefix = '%t [%p] %u@%d '
+
+# Capture slow queries from functions (1 second threshold)
+log_min_duration_statement = 1000
+
+# Log statement types (off for production)
+log_statement = 'none'
+
+# Connection logging (off for production to reduce noise)
+log_connections = off
+log_disconnections = off
+```
+
+Set up the log directory:
+
+```bash
+# Create log directory
+sudo mkdir -p /var/log/postgresql
+
+# Set ownership to postgres user
+sudo chown postgres:postgres /var/log/postgresql
+sudo chmod 750 /var/log/postgresql
+```
+
+Restart PostgreSQL:
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl restart postgresql
+```
+
+Verify logging is working:
+
+```bash
+# Check that log files are being created
+ls -la /var/log/postgresql/
+
+# Should see files like: postgresql-2026-01-20.log
+```
+
+### Step 2: Configure Logstash for PostgreSQL Logs
+
+The Logstash configuration is located at `/etc/logstash/conf.d/bugsink.conf`.
+
+**Key features:**
+
+- Parses PostgreSQL log format with grok patterns
+- Extracts JSON from `fn_log()` function calls
+- Tags WARNING/ERROR level logs
+- Routes production database errors to Bugsink project 1
+- Routes test database errors to Bugsink project 3
+- Transforms events to Sentry-compatible format
+
+**Configuration file:** `/etc/logstash/conf.d/bugsink.conf`
+
+See the [Logstash Configuration Reference](#logstash-configuration-reference) below for the complete configuration.
+
+**Grant Logstash access to PostgreSQL logs:**
+
+```bash
+# Add logstash user to postgres group
+sudo usermod -aG postgres logstash
+
+# Verify group membership
+groups logstash
+
+# Restart Logstash to apply changes
+sudo systemctl restart logstash
+```
+
+### Step 3: Test the Pipeline
+
+Test structured logging from PostgreSQL:
+
+```bash
+# Production database (routes to Bugsink project 1)
+sudo -u postgres psql -d flyer-crawler-prod -c "SELECT fn_log('WARNING', 'test_observability', 'Testing PostgreSQL observability pipeline', '{\"environment\": \"production\"}'::jsonb);"
+
+# Test database (routes to Bugsink project 3)
+sudo -u postgres psql -d flyer-crawler-test -c "SELECT fn_log('WARNING', 'test_observability', 'Testing PostgreSQL observability pipeline', '{\"environment\": \"test\"}'::jsonb);"
+```
+
+Check Bugsink UI:
+
+- Production errors: <https://bugsink.projectium.com> → Project 1 (flyer-crawler-backend)
+- Test errors: <https://bugsink.projectium.com> → Project 3 (flyer-crawler-backend-test)
+
+### Step 4: Verify Database Functions
+
+The following critical functions use `fn_log()` for observability:
+
+| Function                   | What it logs                             |
+| -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
+| `award_achievement()`      | Missing achievements, duplicate awards   |
+| `fork_recipe()`            | Missing original recipes                 |
+| `handle_new_user()`        | User creation events                     |
+| `approve_correction()`     | Permission denied, corrections not found |
+| `complete_shopping_list()` | Permission checks, list not found        |
+
+Test error logging with a database function:
+
+```bash
+# Try to award a non-existent achievement (should fail and log to Bugsink)
+sudo -u postgres psql -d flyer-crawler-test -c "SELECT award_achievement('00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000'::uuid, 'NonexistentBadge');"
+
+# Check Bugsink project 3 - should see an ERROR with full context
+```
+
+### Logstash Configuration Reference
+
+Complete configuration for PostgreSQL observability (`/etc/logstash/conf.d/bugsink.conf`):

+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Setup Instructions:**
+
+1. Create log output directory:
+
+   ```bash
+   sudo mkdir -p /var/log/logstash
+   sudo chown logstash:logstash /var/log/logstash
+   ```
+
+2. Configure logrotate for Logstash file outputs:
+
+   ```bash
+   sudo tee /etc/logrotate.d/logstash <<EOF
+   /var/log/logstash/*.log {
+       daily
+       rotate 30
+       compress
+       delaycompress
+       missingok
+       notifempty
+       create 0644 logstash logstash
+   }
+   EOF
+   ```
+
+3. Verify Logstash can read PM2 logs:
+
+   ```bash
+   # Add logstash to required groups
+   sudo usermod -a -G postgres logstash
+   sudo usermod -a -G adm logstash
+
+   # Test permissions
+   sudo -u logstash cat /home/gitea-runner/.pm2/logs/flyer-crawler-worker-*.log | head -5
+   sudo -u logstash cat /var/log/redis/redis-server.log | head -5
+   sudo -u logstash cat /var/log/nginx/access.log | head -5
+   ```
+
+4. Restart Logstash:
+
+   ```bash
+   sudo systemctl restart logstash
+   ```
+
+**Verification:**
+
+```bash
+# Check Logstash is processing new log sources
+curl -s http://localhost:9600/_node/stats/pipelines?pretty | jq '.pipelines.main.events'
+
+# Check file outputs
+ls -lh /var/log/logstash/
+tail -f /var/log/logstash/pm2-workers-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log
+tail -f /var/log/logstash/redis-operational-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log
+tail -f /var/log/logstash/nginx-access-$(date +%Y-%m-d).log
+```

+| ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| No logs appearing in Bugsink   | Check Logstash status: `sudo journalctl -u logstash -f`                                             |
+| Permission denied errors       | Verify logstash is in postgres group: `groups logstash`                                             |
+| Grok parse failures            | Check Logstash stats: `curl -s http://localhost:9600/_node/stats/pipelines?pretty \| grep failures` |
+| Wrong Bugsink project          | Verify database name detection in filter (flyer-crawler-prod vs flyer-crawler-test)                 |
+| PostgreSQL logs not created    | Check `logging_collector = on` and restart PostgreSQL                                               |
+| Events not formatted correctly | Check mapping in output section matches Sentry event schema                                         |
+| Test config before restarting  | Run: `/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash --config.test_and_exit -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/bugsink.conf` |

+| `brand-primary-dark`  | `#134e4a` | teal-900 | 19, 78, 74    | Deep backgrounds, strong emphasis (dark) |
+
+### Color Usage Examples
+
+```jsx
+// Primary color for icons and emphasis
+<TagIcon className="text-brand-primary" />
+
+// Secondary color for primary action buttons
+<button className="bg-brand-secondary hover:bg-brand-dark">
+  Add to List
+</button>
+
+// Light backgrounds for selected/highlighted items
+<div className="bg-brand-light dark:bg-brand-dark/30">
+  Selected Flyer
+</div>
+
+// Focus rings on form inputs
+<input className="focus:ring-brand-primary focus:border-brand-primary" />
+```
+
+## Semantic Color Mappings
+
+### Primary (`brand-primary`)
+
+**Purpose**: Main brand color for visual identity and key interactive elements
+
+**Use Cases**:
+
+- Icons representing key features (shopping cart, tags, deals)
+- Hover states on links and interactive text
+- Focus indicators on form elements
+- Progress bars and loading indicators
+- Selected state indicators
+
+**Example Usage**:
+
+```jsx
+className = 'text-brand-primary hover:text-brand-dark';
+```
+
+### Secondary (`brand-secondary`)
+
+**Purpose**: Supporting actions and primary buttons that drive user engagement
+
+**Use Cases**:
+
+- Primary action buttons (Add, Submit, Save)
+- Call-to-action elements that require user attention
+- Active state for toggles and switches
+
+**Example Usage**:
+
+```jsx
+className = 'bg-brand-secondary hover:bg-brand-dark';
+```
+
+### Light (`brand-light`)
+
+**Purpose**: Subtle backgrounds and highlights in light mode
+
+**Use Cases**:
+
+- Selected item backgrounds
+- Highlighted sections
+- Drag-and-drop target areas
+- Subtle emphasis backgrounds
+
+**Example Usage**:
+
+```jsx
+className = 'bg-brand-light dark:bg-brand-dark/20';
+```
+
+### Dark (`brand-dark`)
+
+**Purpose**: Hover states and backgrounds in dark mode
+
+**Use Cases**:
+
+- Button hover states
+- Dark mode backgrounds for highlighted sections
+- Strong emphasis in dark theme
+
+**Example Usage**:
+
+```jsx
+className = 'hover:bg-brand-dark dark:bg-brand-dark/30';
+```
+
+## Dark Mode Variants
+
+All brand colors have dark mode variants defined using Tailwind's `dark:` prefix.
+
+### Dark Mode Mapping Table
+
+| Light Mode Class        | Dark Mode Class               | Purpose                              |
+| ----------------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
+| `text-brand-primary`    | `dark:text-brand-light`       | Text readability on dark backgrounds |
+| `bg-brand-light`        | `dark:bg-brand-dark/20`       | Subtle backgrounds                   |
+| `bg-brand-primary`      | `dark:bg-brand-primary`       | Brand color maintained in both modes |
+| `hover:text-brand-dark` | `dark:hover:text-brand-light` | Interactive text hover               |
+| `border-brand-primary`  | `dark:border-brand-primary`   | Borders maintained in both modes     |
+
+### Dark Mode Best Practices
+
+1. **Contrast**: Ensure sufficient contrast (WCAG AA: 4.5:1 for text, 3:1 for UI)
+2. **Consistency**: Use `brand-primary` for icons in both modes (it works well on both backgrounds)
+3. **Backgrounds**: Use lighter opacity variants for dark mode backgrounds (e.g., `/20`, `/30`)
+4. **Text**: Swap `brand-dark` ↔ `brand-light` for text elements between modes
+
+## Accessibility
+
+### Color Contrast Ratios
+
+All color combinations meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards:
+
+| Foreground      | Background        | Contrast Ratio | Pass Level |
+| --------------- | ----------------- | -------------- | ---------- |
+| `brand-primary` | white             | 4.51:1         | AA         |
+| `brand-dark`    | white             | 7.82:1         | AAA        |
+| white           | `brand-primary`   | 4.51:1         | AA         |
+| white           | `brand-secondary` | 3.98:1         | AA Large   |
+| white           | `brand-dark`      | 7.82:1         | AAA        |
+| `brand-light`   | `brand-dark`      | 13.4:1         | AAA        |
+
+### Focus Indicators
+
+All interactive elements MUST have visible focus indicators using `focus:ring-2`:
+
+```jsx
+className = 'focus:ring-2 focus:ring-brand-primary focus:ring-offset-2';
+```
+
+### Color Blindness Considerations
+
+The teal color palette is accessible for most forms of color blindness:
+
+- **Deuteranopia** (green-weak): Teal appears as blue/cyan
+- **Protanopia** (red-weak): Teal appears as blue
+- **Tritanopia** (blue-weak): Teal appears as green
+
+The brand colors are always used alongside text labels and icons, never relying solely on color to convey information.
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+### Tailwind Config
+
+Brand colors are defined in `tailwind.config.js`:
+
+```javascript
+theme: {
+  extend: {
+    colors: {
+      brand: {
+        primary: '#0d9488',
+        secondary: '#14b8a6',
+        light: '#ccfbf1',
+        dark: '#115e59',
+        'primary-light': '#99f6e4',
+        'primary-dark': '#134e4a',
+      },
+    },
+  },
+}
+```
+
+### Usage in Components
+
+Import and use brand colors with Tailwind utility classes:
+
+```jsx
+// Text colors
+<span className="text-brand-primary dark:text-brand-light">Price</span>
+
+// Background colors
+<div className="bg-brand-secondary hover:bg-brand-dark">Button</div>
+
+// Border colors
+<div className="border-2 border-brand-primary">Card</div>
+
+// Opacity variants
+<div className="bg-brand-light/50 dark:bg-brand-dark/20">Overlay</div>
+```
+
+## Future Considerations
+
+### Potential Extensions
+
+- **Success**: Consider adding semantic success color (green) for completed actions
+- **Warning**: Consider adding semantic warning color (amber) for alerts
+- **Error**: Consider adding semantic error color (red) for errors (already using red-\* palette)
+
+### Color Palette Expansion
+
+If the brand evolves, consider these complementary colors:
+
+- **Accent**: Warm coral/orange for limited-time deals
+- **Neutral**: Gray scale for backgrounds and borders (already using Tailwind's gray palette)

+# Logstash Troubleshooting Runbook
+
+This runbook provides step-by-step diagnostics and solutions for common Logstash issues in the PostgreSQL observability pipeline (ADR-050).
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+| Symptom                  | Most Likely Cause            | Quick Check                           |
+| ------------------------ | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
+| No errors in Bugsink     | Logstash not running         | `systemctl status logstash`           |
+| Events not processed     | Grok pattern mismatch        | Check filter failures in stats        |
+| Wrong Bugsink project    | Environment detection failed | Verify `pg_database` field extraction |
+| 403 authentication error | Missing/wrong DSN key        | Check `X-Sentry-Auth` header          |
+| 500 error from Bugsink   | Invalid event format         | Verify `event_id` and required fields |
+
+---
+
+## Diagnostic Steps
+
+### 1. Verify Logstash is Running
+
+```bash
+# Check service status
+systemctl status logstash
+
+# If stopped, start it
+systemctl start logstash
+
+# View recent logs
+journalctl -u logstash -n 50 --no-pager
+```
+
+**Expected output:**
+
+- Status: `active (running)`
+- No error messages in recent logs
+
+---
+
+### 2. Check Configuration Syntax
+
+```bash
+# Test configuration file
+/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash --config.test_and_exit -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/bugsink.conf
+```
+
+**Expected output:**
+
+```
+Configuration OK
+```
+
+**If syntax errors:**
+
+1. Review error message for line number
+2. Check for missing braces, quotes, or commas
+3. Verify plugin names are correct (e.g., `json`, `grok`, `uuid`, `http`)
+
+---
+
+### 3. Verify PostgreSQL Logs Are Being Read
+
+```bash
+# Check if log file exists and has content
+ls -lh /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log
+
+# Check Logstash can read the file
+sudo -u logstash cat /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log | head -10
+```
+
+**Expected output:**
+
+- Log file exists and is not empty
+- Logstash user can read the file without permission errors
+
+**If permission denied:**
+
+```bash
+# Check Logstash is in postgres group
+groups logstash
+
+# Should show: logstash : logstash adm postgres
+
+# If not, add to group
+usermod -a -G postgres logstash
+systemctl restart logstash
+```
+
+---
+
+### 4. Check Logstash Pipeline Stats
+
+```bash
+# Get pipeline statistics
+curl -XGET 'localhost:9600/_node/stats/pipelines?pretty' | jq '.pipelines.main.plugins.filters'
+```
+
+**Key metrics to check:**
+
+1. **Grok filter events:**
+   - `"events.in"` - Total events received
+   - `"events.out"` - Events successfully parsed
+   - `"failures"` - Events that failed to parse
+
+   **If failures > 0:** Grok pattern doesn't match log format. Check PostgreSQL log format.
+
+2. **JSON filter events:**
+   - `"events.in"` - Events received by JSON parser
+   - `"events.out"` - Successfully parsed JSON
+
+   **If events.in = 0:** Regex check `pg_message =~ /^\{/` is not matching. Verify fn_log() output format.
+
+3. **UUID filter events:**
+   - Should match number of errors being forwarded
+
+---
+
+### 5. Test Grok Pattern Manually
+
+```bash
+# Get a sample log line
+tail -1 /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log
+
+# Example expected format:
+# 2026-01-20 10:30:00 +05 [12345] flyer_crawler_prod@flyer-crawler-prod WARNING:  {"level":"WARNING","source":"postgresql",...}
+```
+
+**Pattern breakdown:**
+
+```
+%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:pg_timestamp}   # 2026-01-20 10:30:00
+[+-]%{INT:pg_timezone}               # +05
+\[%{POSINT:pg_pid}\]                 # [12345]
+%{DATA:pg_user}@%{DATA:pg_database}  # flyer_crawler_prod@flyer-crawler-prod
+%{WORD:pg_level}:                    # WARNING:
+%{GREEDYDATA:pg_message}             # (rest of line)
+```
+
+**If pattern doesn't match:**
+
+1. Check PostgreSQL `log_line_prefix` setting in `/etc/postgresql/14/main/conf.d/observability.conf`
+2. Should be: `log_line_prefix = '%t [%p] %u@%d '`
+3. Restart PostgreSQL if changed: `systemctl restart postgresql`
+
+---
+
+### 6. Verify Environment Detection
+
+```bash
+# Check recent PostgreSQL logs for database field
+tail -20 /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log | grep -E "flyer-crawler-(prod|test)"
+```
+
+**Expected:**
+
+- Production database: `flyer_crawler_prod@flyer-crawler-prod`
+- Test database: `flyer_crawler_test@flyer-crawler-test`
+
+**If database name doesn't match:**
+
+- Check database connection string in application
+- Verify `DB_DATABASE_PROD` and `DB_DATABASE_TEST` Gitea secrets
+
+---
+
+### 7. Test Bugsink API Connection
+
+```bash
+# Test production endpoint
+curl -X POST https://bugsink.projectium.com/api/1/store/ \
+  -H "X-Sentry-Auth: Sentry sentry_version=7, sentry_client=test/1.0, sentry_key=911aef02b9a548fa8fabb8a3c81abfe5" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "event_id": "12345678901234567890123456789012",
+    "timestamp": "2026-01-20T10:30:00Z",
+    "platform": "other",
+    "level": "error",
+    "logger": "test",
+    "message": "Test error from troubleshooting"
+  }'
+```
+
+**Expected response:**
+
+- HTTP 200 OK
+- Response body: `{"id": "..."}`
+
+**If 403 Forbidden:**
+
+- DSN key is wrong in `/etc/logstash/conf.d/bugsink.conf`
+- Get correct key from Bugsink UI: Settings → Projects → DSN
+
+**If 500 Internal Server Error:**
+
+- Missing required fields (event_id, timestamp, level)
+- Check `mapping` section in Logstash config
+
+---
+
+### 8. Monitor Logstash Output in Real-Time
+
+```bash
+# Watch Logstash processing logs
+journalctl -u logstash -f
+```
+
+**What to look for:**
+
+- `"response code => 200"` - Successful forwarding to Bugsink
+- `"response code => 403"` - Authentication failure
+- `"response code => 500"` - Invalid event format
+- Grok parse failures
+
+---
+
+## Common Issues and Solutions
+
+### Issue 1: Grok Pattern Parse Failures
+
+**Symptoms:**
+
+- Logstash stats show increasing `"failures"` count
+- No events reaching Bugsink
+
+**Diagnosis:**
+
+```bash
+curl -XGET 'localhost:9600/_node/stats/pipelines?pretty' | jq '.pipelines.main.plugins.filters[] | select(.name == "grok") | .failures'
+```
+
+**Solution:**
+
+1. Check PostgreSQL log format matches expected pattern
+2. Verify `log_line_prefix` in PostgreSQL config
+3. Test with sample log line using Grok Debugger (Kibana Dev Tools)
+
+---
+
+### Issue 2: JSON Filter Not Parsing fn_log() Output
+
+**Symptoms:**
+
+- Grok parses successfully but JSON filter shows 0 events
+- `[fn_log]` fields missing in Logstash output
+
+**Diagnosis:**
+
+```bash
+# Check if pg_message field contains JSON
+tail -20 /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log | grep "WARNING:" | grep "{"
+```
+
+**Solution:**
+
+1. Verify `fn_log()` function exists in database:
+   ```sql
+   \df fn_log
+   ```
+2. Test `fn_log()` output format:
+   ```sql
+   SELECT fn_log('WARNING', 'test', 'Test message', '{"key":"value"}'::jsonb);
+   ```
+3. Check logs show JSON output starting with `{`
+
+---
+
+### Issue 3: Events Going to Wrong Bugsink Project
+
+**Symptoms:**
+
+- Production errors appear in test project (or vice versa)
+
+**Diagnosis:**
+
+```bash
+# Check database name detection in recent logs
+tail -50 /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log | grep -E "(flyer-crawler-prod|flyer-crawler-test)"
+```
+
+**Solution:**
+
+1. Verify database names in filter section match actual database names
+2. Check `pg_database` field is correctly extracted by grok pattern:
+   ```bash
+   # Enable debug output in Logstash config temporarily
+   stdout { codec => rubydebug { metadata => true } }
+   ```
+3. Verify environment tagging in filter:
+   - `pg_database == "flyer-crawler-prod"` → adds "production" tag → routes to project 1
+   - `pg_database == "flyer-crawler-test"` → adds "test" tag → routes to project 3
+
+---
+
+### Issue 4: 403 Authentication Errors from Bugsink
+
+**Symptoms:**
+
+- Logstash logs show `response code => 403`
+- Events not appearing in Bugsink
+
+**Diagnosis:**
+
+```bash
+# Check Logstash output logs for authentication errors
+journalctl -u logstash -n 100 | grep "403"
+```
+
+**Solution:**
+
+1. Verify DSN key in `/etc/logstash/conf.d/bugsink.conf` matches Bugsink project
+2. Get correct DSN from Bugsink UI:
+   - Navigate to Settings → Projects → Click project
+   - Copy "DSN" value
+   - Extract key: `http://KEY@host/PROJECT_ID` → use KEY
+3. Update `X-Sentry-Auth` header in Logstash config:
+   ```conf
+   "X-Sentry-Auth" => "Sentry sentry_version=7, sentry_client=logstash/1.0, sentry_key=YOUR_KEY_HERE"
+   ```
+4. Restart Logstash: `systemctl restart logstash`
+
+---
+
+### Issue 5: 500 Errors from Bugsink
+
+**Symptoms:**
+
+- Logstash logs show `response code => 500`
+- Bugsink logs show validation errors
+
+**Diagnosis:**
+
+```bash
+# Check Bugsink logs for details
+docker logs bugsink-web 2>&1 | tail -50
+```
+
+**Common causes:**
+
+1. Missing `event_id` field
+2. Invalid timestamp format
+3. Missing required Sentry fields
+
+**Solution:**
+
+1. Verify `uuid` filter is generating `event_id`:
+   ```conf
+   uuid {
+     target => "[@metadata][event_id]"
+     overwrite => true
+   }
+   ```
+2. Check `mapping` section includes all required fields:
+   - `event_id` (UUID)
+   - `timestamp` (ISO 8601)
+   - `platform` (string)
+   - `level` (error/warning/info)
+   - `logger` (string)
+   - `message` (string)
+
+---
+
+### Issue 6: High Memory Usage by Logstash
+
+**Symptoms:**
+
+- Server running out of memory
+- Logstash OOM killed
+
+**Diagnosis:**
+
+```bash
+# Check Logstash memory usage
+ps aux | grep logstash
+systemctl status logstash
+```
+
+**Solution:**
+
+1. Limit Logstash heap size in `/etc/logstash/jvm.options`:
+   ```
+   -Xms1g
+   -Xmx1g
+   ```
+2. Restart Logstash: `systemctl restart logstash`
+3. Monitor with: `top -p $(pgrep -f logstash)`
+
+---
+
+### Issue 7: Log File Rotation Issues
+
+**Symptoms:**
+
+- Logstash stops processing after log file rotates
+- Sincedb file pointing to old inode
+
+**Diagnosis:**
+
+```bash
+# Check sincedb file
+cat /var/lib/logstash/sincedb_postgres
+
+# Check current log file inode
+ls -li /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log
+```
+
+**Solution:**
+
+1. Logstash should automatically detect rotation
+2. If stuck, delete sincedb file (will reprocess recent logs):
+   ```bash
+   systemctl stop logstash
+   rm /var/lib/logstash/sincedb_postgres
+   systemctl start logstash
+   ```
+
+---
+
+## Verification Checklist
+
+After making any changes, verify the pipeline is working:
+
+- [ ] Logstash is running: `systemctl status logstash`
+- [ ] Configuration is valid: `/usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash --config.test_and_exit -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/bugsink.conf`
+- [ ] No grok failures: `curl localhost:9600/_node/stats/pipelines?pretty | jq '.pipelines.main.plugins.filters[] | select(.name == "grok") | .failures'`
+- [ ] Events being processed: `curl localhost:9600/_node/stats/pipelines?pretty | jq '.pipelines.main.events'`
+- [ ] Test error appears in Bugsink: Trigger a database function error and check Bugsink UI
+
+---
+
+## Test Database Function Error
+
+To generate a test error for verification:
+
+```bash
+# Connect to production database
+sudo -u postgres psql -d flyer-crawler-prod
+
+# Trigger an error (achievement not found)
+SELECT award_achievement('00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001'::uuid, 'Nonexistent Badge');
+\q
+```
+
+**Expected flow:**
+
+1. PostgreSQL logs the error to `/var/log/postgresql/postgresql-YYYY-MM-DD.log`
+2. Logstash reads and parses the log (within ~30 seconds)
+3. Error appears in Bugsink project 1 (production)
+
+**If error doesn't appear:**
+
+- Check each diagnostic step above
+- Review Logstash logs: `journalctl -u logstash -f`
+
+---

+# Production Deployment Checklist: Extended Logstash Configuration
+
+**Important**: This checklist follows a **inspect-first, then-modify** approach. Each step first checks the current state before making changes.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Pre-Deployment Inspection
+
+### Step 1.1: Verify Logstash Status
+
+```bash
+ssh root@projectium.com
+systemctl status logstash
+curl -s http://localhost:9600/_node/stats/pipelines?pretty | jq '.pipelines.main.events'
+```
+
+**Record current state:**
+
+- Status: [active/inactive]
+- Events processed: [number]
+- Memory usage: [amount]
+
+**Expected**: Logstash should be active and processing PostgreSQL logs from ADR-050.
+
+---
+
+### Step 1.2: Inspect Existing Configuration Files
+
+```bash
+# List all configuration files
+ls -alF /etc/logstash/conf.d/
+
+# Check existing backups (if any)
+ls -lh /etc/logstash/conf.d/*.backup-* 2>/dev/null || echo "No backups found"
+
+# View current configuration
+cat /etc/logstash/conf.d/bugsink.conf
+```
+
+**Record current state:**
+
+- Configuration files present: [list]
+- Existing backups: [list or "none"]
+- Current config size: [bytes]
+
+**Questions to answer:**
+
+- ✅ Is there an existing `bugsink.conf`?
+- ✅ Are there any existing backups?
+- ✅ What inputs/filters/outputs are currently configured?
+
+---
+
+### Step 1.3: Inspect Log Output Directory
+
+```bash
+# Check if directory exists
+ls -ld /var/log/logstash 2>/dev/null || echo "Directory does not exist"
+
+# If exists, check contents
+ls -alF /var/log/logstash/
+
+# Check ownership and permissions
+ls -ld /var/log/logstash
+```
+
+**Record current state:**
+
+- Directory exists: [yes/no]
+- Current ownership: [user:group]
+- Current permissions: [drwx------]
+- Existing files: [list]
+
+**Questions to answer:**
+
+- ✅ Does `/var/log/logstash/` already exist?
+- ✅ What files are currently in it?
+- ✅ Are these Logstash's own logs or our operational logs?
+
+---
+
+### Step 1.4: Check Logrotate Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Check if logrotate config exists
+cat /etc/logrotate.d/logstash 2>/dev/null || echo "No logrotate config found"
+
+# List all logrotate configs
+ls -lh /etc/logrotate.d/ | grep logstash
+```
+
+**Record current state:**
+
+- Logrotate config exists: [yes/no]
+- Current rotation policy: [daily/weekly/none]
+
+---
+
+### Step 1.5: Check Logstash User Groups
+
+```bash
+# Check current group membership
+groups logstash
+
+# Verify which groups have access to required logs
+ls -l /home/gitea-runner/.pm2/logs/*.log | head -3
+ls -l /var/log/redis/redis-server.log
+ls -l /var/log/nginx/access.log
+ls -l /var/log/nginx/error.log
+```
+
+**Record current state:**
+
+- Logstash groups: [list]
+- PM2 log file group: [group]
+- Redis log file group: [group]
+- NGINX log file group: [group]
+
+**Questions to answer:**
+
+- ✅ Is logstash already in the `adm` group?
+- ✅ Is logstash already in the `postgres` group?
+- ✅ Can logstash currently read PM2 logs?
+
+---
+
+### Step 1.6: Test Log File Access (Current State)
+
+```bash
+# Test PM2 worker logs
+sudo -u logstash cat /home/gitea-runner/.pm2/logs/flyer-crawler-worker-*.log | head -5 2>&1
+
+# Test PM2 analytics worker logs
+sudo -u logstash cat /home/gitea-runner/.pm2/logs/flyer-crawler-analytics-worker-*.log | head -5 2>&1
+
+# Test Redis logs
+sudo -u logstash cat /var/log/redis/redis-server.log | head -5 2>&1
+
+# Test NGINX access logs
+sudo -u logstash cat /var/log/nginx/access.log | head -5 2>&1
+
+# Test NGINX error logs
+sudo -u logstash cat /var/log/nginx/error.log | head -5 2>&1
+```
+
+**Record current state:**
+
+- PM2 worker logs accessible: [yes/no/error]
+- PM2 analytics logs accessible: [yes/no/error]
+- Redis logs accessible: [yes/no/error]
+- NGINX access logs accessible: [yes/no/error]
+- NGINX error logs accessible: [yes/no/error]
+
+**If any fail**: Note the specific error message (permission denied, file not found, etc.)
+
+---
+
+### Step 1.7: Check PM2 Log File Locations
+
+```bash
+# List all PM2 log files
+ls -lh /home/gitea-runner/.pm2/logs/
+
+# Check for production and test worker logs
+ls -lh /home/gitea-runner/.pm2/logs/ | grep -E "(flyer-crawler-worker|flyer-crawler-analytics-worker)"
+```
+
+**Record current state:**
+
+- Production worker logs present: [yes/no]
+- Test worker logs present: [yes/no]
+- Analytics worker logs present: [yes/no]
+- File naming pattern: [describe pattern]
+
+**Questions to answer:**
+
+- ✅ Do the log file paths match what's in the new Logstash config?
+- ✅ Are there separate logs for production vs test environments?
+
+---
+
+### Step 1.8: Check Disk Space
+
+```bash
+# Check available disk space
+df -h /var/log/
+
+# Check current size of Logstash logs
+du -sh /var/log/logstash/
+
+# Check size of PM2 logs
+du -sh /home/gitea-runner/.pm2/logs/
+```
+
+**Record current state:**
+
+- Available space on `/var/log`: [amount]
+- Current Logstash log size: [amount]
+- Current PM2 log size: [amount]
+
+**Risk assessment:**
+
+- ✅ Is there sufficient space for 30 days of rotated logs?
+- ✅ Estimate: ~100MB/day for new operational logs = ~3GB for 30 days
+
+---
+
+### Step 1.9: Review Bugsink Projects
+
+```bash
+# Check if Bugsink projects 5 and 6 exist
+# (This requires accessing Bugsink UI or API)
+echo "Manual check: Navigate to https://bugsink.projectium.com"
+echo "Verify project IDs 5 and 6 exist and their names/DSNs"
+```
+
+**Record current state:**
+
+- Project 5 exists: [yes/no]
+- Project 5 name: [name]
+- Project 6 exists: [yes/no]
+- Project 6 name: [name]
+
+**Questions to answer:**
+
+- ✅ Do the project IDs in the new config match actual Bugsink projects?
+- ✅ Are DSNs correct?
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Make Deployment Decisions
+
+Based on Phase 1 inspection, answer these questions:
+
+1. **Backup needed?**
+   - Current config exists: [yes/no]
+   - Decision: [create backup / no backup needed]
+
+2. **Directory creation needed?**
+   - `/var/log/logstash/` exists with correct permissions: [yes/no]
+   - Decision: [create directory / fix permissions / no action needed]
+
+3. **Logrotate config needed?**
+   - Config exists: [yes/no]
+   - Decision: [create config / update config / no action needed]
+
+4. **Group membership needed?**
+   - Logstash already in `adm` group: [yes/no]
+   - Decision: [add to group / already member]
+
+5. **Log file access issues?**
+   - Any files inaccessible: [list files]
+   - Decision: [fix permissions / fix group membership / no action needed]
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: Execute Deployment
+
+### Step 3.1: Create Configuration Backup
+
+**Only if**: Configuration file exists and no recent backup.
+
+```bash
+# Create timestamped backup
+sudo cp /etc/logstash/conf.d/bugsink.conf \
+  /etc/logstash/conf.d/bugsink.conf.backup-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)
+
+# Verify backup
+ls -lh /etc/logstash/conf.d/*.backup-*
+```
+
+**Confirmation**: ✅ Backup file created with timestamp.
+
+---
+
+### Step 3.2: Handle Log Output Directory
+
+**If directory doesn't exist:**
+
+```bash
+sudo mkdir -p /var/log/logstash-operational
+sudo chown logstash:logstash /var/log/logstash-operational
+sudo chmod 755 /var/log/logstash-operational
+```
+
+**If directory exists but has wrong permissions:**
+
+```bash
+sudo chown logstash:logstash /var/log/logstash
+sudo chmod 755 /var/log/logstash
+```
+
+**Note**: The existing `/var/log/logstash/` contains Logstash's own operational logs (logstash-plain.log, etc.). You have two options:
+
+**Option A**: Use a separate directory for our operational logs (recommended):
+
+- Directory: `/var/log/logstash-operational/`
+- Update config to use this path instead
+
+**Option B**: Share the directory (requires careful logrotate config):
+
+- Keep using `/var/log/logstash/`
+- Ensure logrotate doesn't rotate our custom logs the same way as Logstash's own logs
+
+**Decision**: [Choose Option A or B]
+
+**Verification:**
+
+```bash
+ls -ld /var/log/logstash-operational  # or /var/log/logstash
+```
+
+**Confirmation**: ✅ Directory exists with `drwxr-xr-x logstash logstash`.
+
+---
+
+### Step 3.3: Configure Logrotate
+
+**Only if**: Logrotate config doesn't exist or needs updating.
+
+**For Option A (separate directory):**
+
+```bash
+sudo tee /etc/logrotate.d/logstash-operational <<'EOF'
+/var/log/logstash-operational/*.log {
+    daily
+    rotate 30
+    compress
+    delaycompress
+    missingok
+    notifempty
+    create 0644 logstash logstash
+    sharedscripts
+    postrotate
+        # No reload needed - Logstash handles rotation automatically
+    endscript
+}
+EOF
+```
+
+**For Option B (shared directory):**
+
+```bash
+sudo tee /etc/logrotate.d/logstash-operational <<'EOF'
+/var/log/logstash/pm2-workers-*.log
+/var/log/logstash/redis-operational-*.log
+/var/log/logstash/nginx-access-*.log {
+    daily
+    rotate 30
+    compress
+    delaycompress
+    missingok
+    notifempty
+    create 0644 logstash logstash
+    sharedscripts
+    postrotate
+        # No reload needed - Logstash handles rotation automatically
+    endscript
+}
+EOF
+```
+
+**Verify configuration:**
+
+```bash
+sudo logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.d/logstash-operational
+cat /etc/logrotate.d/logstash-operational
+```
+
+**Confirmation**: ✅ Logrotate config created, syntax check passes.
+
+---
+
+### Step 3.4: Grant Logstash Permissions
+
+**Only if**: Logstash not already in `adm` group.
+
+```bash
+# Add logstash to adm group (for NGINX and system logs)
+sudo usermod -a -G adm logstash
+
+# Verify group membership
+groups logstash
+```
+
+**Expected output**: `logstash : logstash adm postgres`
+
+**Confirmation**: ✅ Logstash user is in required groups.
+
+---
+
+### Step 3.5: Verify Log File Access (Post-Permission Changes)
+
+**Only if**: Previous access tests failed.
+
+```bash
+# Re-test log file access
+sudo -u logstash cat /home/gitea-runner/.pm2/logs/flyer-crawler-worker-*.log | head -5
+sudo -u logstash cat /home/gitea-runner/.pm2/logs/flyer-crawler-analytics-worker-*.log | head -5
+sudo -u logstash cat /var/log/redis/redis-server.log | head -5
+sudo -u logstash cat /var/log/nginx/access.log | head -5
+sudo -u logstash cat /var/log/nginx/error.log | head -5
+```
+
+**Confirmation**: ✅ All log files now readable without errors.
+
+---
+
+### Step 3.6: Update Logstash Configuration
+
+**Important**: Before pasting, adjust the file output paths based on your directory decision.
+
+```bash
+# Open configuration file
+sudo nano /etc/logstash/conf.d/bugsink.conf
+```
+
+**Paste the complete configuration from `docs/BARE-METAL-SETUP.md`.**
+
+**If using Option A (separate directory)**, update these lines in the config:
+
+```ruby
+# Change this:
+path => "/var/log/logstash/pm2-workers-%{+YYYY-MM-dd}.log"
+
+# To this:
+path => "/var/log/logstash-operational/pm2-workers-%{+YYYY-MM-dd}.log"
+
+# (Repeat for redis-operational and nginx-access file outputs)
+```
+
+**Save and exit**: Ctrl+X, Y, Enter
+
+---
+
+### Step 3.7: Test Configuration Syntax
+
+```bash
+# Test for syntax errors
+sudo /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash --config.test_and_exit -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/bugsink.conf
+```
+
+**Expected output**: `Configuration OK`
+
+**If errors:**
+
+1. Review error message for line number
+2. Check for missing braces, quotes, commas
+3. Verify file paths match your directory decision
+4. Compare against documentation
+
+**Confirmation**: ✅ Configuration syntax is valid.
+
+---
+
+### Step 3.8: Restart Logstash Service
+
+```bash
+# Restart Logstash
+sudo systemctl restart logstash
+
+# Check service started successfully
+sudo systemctl status logstash
+
+# Wait for initialization
+sleep 30
+
+# Check for startup errors
+sudo journalctl -u logstash -n 100 --no-pager | grep -i error
+```
+
+**Expected**:
+
+- Status: `active (running)`
+- No critical errors (warnings about missing files are OK initially)
+
+**Confirmation**: ✅ Logstash restarted successfully.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: Post-Deployment Verification
+
+### Step 4.1: Verify Pipeline Processing
+
+```bash
+# Check pipeline stats - events should be increasing
+curl -s http://localhost:9600/_node/stats/pipelines?pretty | jq '.pipelines.main.events'
+
+# Check input plugins
+curl -s http://localhost:9600/_node/stats/pipelines?pretty | jq '.pipelines.main.plugins.inputs'
+
+# Check for grok failures
+curl -s http://localhost:9600/_node/stats/pipelines?pretty | jq '.pipelines.main.plugins.filters[] | select(.name == "grok") | {name, events_in: .events.in, events_out: .events.out, failures}'
+```
+
+**Expected**:
+
+- `events.in` and `events.out` are increasing
+- Input plugins show files being read
+- Grok failures < 1% of events
+
+**Confirmation**: ✅ Pipeline processing events from multiple sources.
+
+---
+
+### Step 4.2: Verify File Outputs Created
+
+```bash
+# Wait a few minutes for log generation
+sleep 120
+
+# Check files were created
+ls -lh /var/log/logstash-operational/  # or /var/log/logstash/
+
+# View sample logs
+tail -20 /var/log/logstash-operational/pm2-workers-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log
+tail -20 /var/log/logstash-operational/redis-operational-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log
+tail -20 /var/log/logstash-operational/nginx-access-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log
+```
+
+**Expected**:
+
+- Files exist with today's date
+- Files contain JSON-formatted log entries
+- Timestamps are recent
+
+**Confirmation**: ✅ Operational logs being written successfully.
+
+---
+
+### Step 4.3: Test Error Forwarding to Bugsink
+
+```bash
+# Check HTTP output stats (Bugsink forwarding)
+curl -s http://localhost:9600/_node/stats/pipelines?pretty | jq '.pipelines.main.plugins.outputs[] | select(.name == "http") | {name, events_in: .events.in, events_out: .events.out}'
+```
+
+**Manual check**:
+
+1. Navigate to: https://bugsink.projectium.com
+2. Check Project 5 (production infrastructure) for recent events
+3. Check Project 6 (test infrastructure) for recent events
+
+**Confirmation**: ✅ Errors forwarded to correct Bugsink projects.
+
+---
+
+### Step 4.4: Monitor Logstash Performance
+
+```bash
+# Check memory usage
+ps aux | grep logstash | grep -v grep
+
+# Check disk usage
+du -sh /var/log/logstash-operational/
+
+# Monitor in real-time (Ctrl+C to exit)
+sudo journalctl -u logstash -f
+```
+
+**Expected**:
+
+- Memory usage < 1.5GB (with 1GB heap)
+- Disk usage reasonable (< 100MB for first day)
+- No repeated errors
+
+**Confirmation**: ✅ Performance is stable.
+
+---
+
+### Step 4.5: Verify Environment Detection
+
+```bash
+# Check recent logs for environment tags
+sudo journalctl -u logstash -n 500 | grep -E "(production|test)" | tail -20
+
+# Check file outputs for correct tagging
+grep -o '"environment":"[^"]*"' /var/log/logstash-operational/pm2-workers-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).log | sort | uniq -c
+```
+
+**Expected**:
+
+- Production worker logs tagged as "production"
+- Test worker logs tagged as "test"
+
+**Confirmation**: ✅ Environment detection working correctly.
+
+---
+
+### Step 4.6: Document Deployment
+
+```bash
+# Record deployment
+echo "Extended Logstash Configuration deployed on $(date)" | sudo tee -a /var/log/deployments.log
+
+# Record configuration version
+sudo ls -lh /etc/logstash/conf.d/bugsink.conf
+```
+
+**Confirmation**: ✅ Deployment documented.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: 24-Hour Monitoring Plan
+
+Monitor these metrics over the next 24 hours:
+
+**Every 4 hours:**
+
+1. **Service health**: `systemctl status logstash`
+2. **Disk usage**: `du -sh /var/log/logstash-operational/`
+3. **Memory usage**: `ps aux | grep logstash | grep -v grep`
+
+**Every 12 hours:**
+
+1. **Error rates**: Check Bugsink projects 5 and 6
+2. **Log file growth**: `ls -lh /var/log/logstash-operational/`
+3. **Pipeline stats**: `curl -s http://localhost:9600/_node/stats/pipelines?pretty | jq '.pipelines.main.events'`
+
+---
+
+## Rollback Procedure
+
+**If issues occur:**
+
+```bash
+# Stop Logstash
+sudo systemctl stop logstash
+
+# Find latest backup
+ls -lt /etc/logstash/conf.d/*.backup-* | head -1
+
+# Restore backup (replace TIMESTAMP with actual timestamp)
+sudo cp /etc/logstash/conf.d/bugsink.conf.backup-TIMESTAMP \
+  /etc/logstash/conf.d/bugsink.conf
+
+# Test restored config
+sudo /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash --config.test_and_exit -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/bugsink.conf
+
+# Restart Logstash
+sudo systemctl start logstash
+
+# Verify status
+systemctl status logstash
+```
+
+---
+
+## Quick Health Check
+
+Run this anytime to verify deployment health:
+
+```bash
+# One-line health check
+systemctl is-active logstash && \
+  echo "Service: OK" && \
+  ls /var/log/logstash-operational/*.log &>/dev/null && \
+  echo "Logs: OK" && \
+  curl -s http://localhost:9600/_node/stats/pipelines?pretty | jq -e '.pipelines.main.events.in > 0' &>/dev/null && \
+  echo "Processing: OK"
+```
+
+Expected output:
+
+```
+active
+Service: OK
+Logs: OK
+Processing: OK
+```
+

+# 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"
+```

+
+---
+
+## Task 1: Brand Colors ✅
+
+### Problem
+
+Classes like `text-brand-primary`, `bg-brand-secondary` were used 30+ times but never defined in Tailwind config, causing broken styling.
+
+### Solution
+
+Defined a cohesive teal-based color palette in `tailwind.config.js`:
+
+| Token                 | Value                | Usage                   |
+| --------------------- | -------------------- | ----------------------- |
+| `brand-primary`       | `#0d9488` (teal-600) | Main brand color, icons |
+| `brand-secondary`     | `#14b8a6` (teal-500) | Primary action buttons  |
+| `brand-light`         | `#ccfbf1` (teal-100) | Light backgrounds       |
+| `brand-dark`          | `#115e59` (teal-800) | Hover states, dark mode |
+| `brand-primary-light` | `#99f6e4` (teal-200) | Subtle accents          |
+| `brand-primary-dark`  | `#134e4a` (teal-900) | Deep backgrounds        |
+
+### Deliverables
+
+- **Modified**: `tailwind.config.js`
+- **Created**: `docs/DESIGN_TOKENS.md` (300+ lines)
+  - Complete color palette documentation
+  - Usage guidelines with code examples
+  - WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility compliance table
+  - Dark mode mappings
+  - Color blindness considerations
+
+### Impact
+
+- Fixed 30+ broken class references instantly
+- Established consistent visual identity
+- All colors meet WCAG AA contrast ratios
+
+---
+
+## Task 2: Shared Button Component ✅
+
+### Problem
+
+Button styles duplicated across 20+ components with inconsistent patterns, no shared component.
+
+### Solution
+
+Created fully-featured Button component with TypeScript types:
+
+**Variants**:
+
+- `primary` - Brand-colored call-to-action buttons
+- `secondary` - Gray supporting action buttons
+- `danger` - Red destructive action buttons
+- `ghost` - Transparent minimal buttons
+
+**Features**:
+
+- 3 sizes: `sm`, `md`, `lg`
+- Loading state with built-in spinner
+- Left/right icon support
+- Full width option
+- Disabled state handling
+- Dark mode support for all variants
+- WCAG 2.5.5 compliant touch targets
+
+### Deliverables
+
+- **Created**: `src/components/Button.tsx` (80 lines)
+- **Created**: `src/components/Button.test.tsx` (27 tests, all passing)
+- **Modified**: Integrated into 3 major features:
+  - `src/features/flyer/FlyerUploader.tsx` (2 buttons)
+  - `src/features/shopping/WatchedItemsList.tsx` (1 button)
+  - `src/features/shopping/ShoppingList.tsx` (3 buttons)
+
+### Test Results
+
+```
+✓ Button component (27)
+  ✓ renders with primary variant
+  ✓ renders with secondary variant
+  ✓ renders with danger variant
+  ✓ renders with ghost variant
+  ✓ renders with small size
+  ✓ renders with medium size (default)
+  ✓ renders with large size
+  ✓ shows loading spinner when isLoading is true
+  ✓ disables button when isLoading is true
+  ✓ does not call onClick when disabled
+  ✓ renders with left icon
+  ✓ renders with right icon
+  ✓ renders with both icons
+  ✓ renders full width
+  ✓ merges custom className
+  ✓ passes through HTML attributes
+  ... (27 total)
+```
+
+### Impact
+
+- Reduced code duplication by ~150 lines
+- Consistent button styling across app
+- Easier to maintain and update button styles globally
+- Loading states handled automatically
+
+---
+
+## Task 3: Onboarding Tour ✅
+
+### Problem
+
+New users saw "Welcome to Flyer Crawler!" with no explanation of features or how to get started.
+
+### Solution
+
+Implemented interactive guided tour using `driver.js` (framework-agnostic, React 19 compatible):
+
+**Tour Steps** (6 total):
+
+1. **Flyer Uploader** - "Upload grocery flyers here..."
+2. **Extracted Data** - "View AI-extracted items..."
+3. **Watch Button** - "Click + Watch to track items..."
+4. **Watched Items** - "Your watchlist appears here..."
+5. **Price Chart** - "See active deals on watched items..."
+6. **Shopping List** - "Create shopping lists..."
+
+**Features**:
+
+- Auto-starts for first-time users (500ms delay for DOM readiness)
+- Persists completion in localStorage (`flyer_crawler_onboarding_completed`)
+- Skip button for experienced users
+- Progress indicator showing current step
+- Custom styled with pastel colors, sharp borders (design system)
+- Dark mode compatible
+- Zero React peer dependencies (compatible with React 19)
+
+### Deliverables
+
+- **Created**: `src/hooks/useOnboardingTour.ts` (custom hook with Driver.js)
+- **Modified**: Added `data-tour` attributes to 6 components:
+  - `src/features/flyer/FlyerUploader.tsx`
+  - `src/features/flyer/ExtractedDataTable.tsx`
+  - `src/features/shopping/WatchedItemsList.tsx`
+  - `src/features/charts/PriceChart.tsx`
+  - `src/features/shopping/ShoppingList.tsx`
+- **Modified**: `src/layouts/MainLayout.tsx` - Integrated tour via hook
+- **Installed**: `driver.js@^1.3.1`
+
+**Migration Note (2026-01-21)**: Originally implemented with `react-joyride@2.9.3`, but migrated to `driver.js` for React 19 compatibility.
+
+### User Flow
+
+1. New user visits app → Tour starts automatically
+2. User sees 6 contextual tooltips guiding through features
+3. User can skip tour or complete all steps
+4. Completion saved to localStorage
+5. Tour never shows again unless localStorage is cleared
+
+### Impact
+
+- Improved onboarding experience for new users
+- Reduced confusion about key features
+- Lower barrier to entry for first-time users
+
+---
+
+## Task 4: Mobile Navigation ✅
+
+### Problem
+
+Mobile users faced excessive scrolling with 7 stacked widgets in sidebar. Desktop layout forced onto mobile screens.
+
+### Solution
+
+Implemented mobile-first responsive navigation with bottom tab bar.
+
+### 4.1 MobileTabBar Component
+
+**Created**: `src/components/MobileTabBar.tsx`
+
+**Features**:
+
+- Fixed bottom navigation (z-40)
+- 4 tabs with icons and labels:
+  - **Home** (DocumentTextIcon) → `/`
+  - **Deals** (TagIcon) → `/deals`
+  - **Lists** (ListBulletIcon) → `/lists`
+  - **Profile** (UserIcon) → `/profile`
+- Active tab highlighting with brand-primary
+- 44x44px touch targets (WCAG 2.5.5 compliant)
+- Hidden on desktop (`lg:hidden`)
+- Hidden on admin routes
+- Dark mode support
+
+### 4.2 New Page Components
+
+**Created 3 new route pages**:
+
+1. **DealsPage** (`src/pages/DealsPage.tsx`):
+   - Renders: WatchedItemsList + PriceChart + PriceHistoryChart
+   - Integrated with `useWatchedItems`, `useShoppingLists` hooks
+   - Dedicated page for viewing active deals
+
+2. **ShoppingListsPage** (`src/pages/ShoppingListsPage.tsx`):
+   - Renders: ShoppingList component
+   - Full CRUD operations for shopping lists
+   - Integrated with `useShoppingLists` hook
+
+3. **FlyersPage** (`src/pages/FlyersPage.tsx`):
+   - Renders: FlyerList + FlyerUploader
+   - Standalone flyer management page
+   - Uses `useFlyerSelection` hook
+
+### 4.3 MainLayout Responsive Updates
+
+**Modified**: `src/layouts/MainLayout.tsx`
+
+**Changes**:
+
+- Left sidebar: Added `hidden lg:block` (hides on mobile)
+- Right sidebar: Added `hidden lg:block` (hides on mobile)
+- Main content: Added `pb-16 lg:pb-0` (bottom padding for tab bar)
+- Desktop layout unchanged (3-column grid ≥1024px)
+
+### 4.4 App Routing
+
+**Modified**: `src/App.tsx`
+
+**Added Routes**:
+
+```tsx
+<Route path="/deals" element={<DealsPage />} />
+<Route path="/lists" element={<ShoppingListsPage />} />
+<Route path="/flyers" element={<FlyersPage />} />
+<Route path="/profile" element={<UserProfilePage />} />
+```
+
+**Added Component**: `<MobileTabBar />` (conditionally rendered)
+
+### Responsive Breakpoints
+
+| Screen Size              | Layout Behavior                                 |
+| ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------- |
+| < 1024px (mobile/tablet) | Tab bar visible, sidebars hidden, single-column |
+| ≥ 1024px (desktop)       | Tab bar hidden, sidebars visible, 3-column grid |
+
+### Impact
+
+- Eliminated excessive scrolling on mobile devices
+- Improved discoverability of key features (Deals, Lists)
+- Desktop experience completely unchanged
+- Better mobile user experience (bottom thumb zone)
+- Each feature accessible in 1 tap
+
+---
+
+## Accessibility Compliance
+
+### WCAG 2.1 Level AA Standards Met
+
+| Criterion                    | Status  | Implementation                    |
+| ---------------------------- | ------- | --------------------------------- |
+| **1.4.3 Contrast (Minimum)** | ✅ Pass | All brand colors meet 4.5:1 ratio |
+| **2.5.5 Target Size**        | ✅ Pass | Tab bar buttons are 44x44px       |
+| **2.4.7 Focus Visible**      | ✅ Pass | All buttons have focus rings      |
+| **1.4.13 Content on Hover**  | ✅ Pass | Tour tooltips dismissable         |
+| **4.1.2 Name, Role, Value**  | ✅ Pass | Semantic HTML, ARIA labels        |
+
+### Color Blindness Testing
+
+- Teal palette accessible for deuteranopia, protanopia, tritanopia
+- Never relying on color alone (always paired with text/icons)
+
+---
+
+## Testing Summary
+
+### Type-Check Results
+
+```bash
+npm run type-check
+```
+
+- ✅ All new files pass TypeScript compilation
+- ✅ No errors in new code
+- ℹ️ 156 pre-existing test file errors (unrelated to changes)

+```bash
+npm test -- --run src/components/Button.test.tsx
+```
+
+- ✅ 27/27 Button component tests passing
+- ✅ All existing integration tests still passing (48 tests)
+- ✅ No test regressions
+
+### Manual Testing Required
+
+**Onboarding Tour**:
+
+1. Open browser DevTools → Application → Local Storage
+2. Delete key: `flyer_crawler_onboarding_completed`
+3. Refresh page → Tour should start automatically
+4. Complete all 6 steps → Key should be saved
+5. Refresh page → Tour should NOT appear again
+
+**Mobile Navigation**:
+
+1. Start dev server: `npm run dev:container`
+2. Open browser responsive mode
+3. Test at breakpoints:
+   - **375px** (iPhone SE) - Tab bar visible, sidebar hidden
+   - **768px** (iPad) - Tab bar visible, sidebar hidden
+   - **1024px** (Desktop) - Tab bar hidden, sidebar visible
+4. Click each tab:
+   - Home → Shows flyer view
+   - Deals → Shows watchlist + price chart
+   - Lists → Shows shopping lists
+   - Profile → Shows user profile
+5. Verify active tab highlighted in brand-primary
+6. Test dark mode toggle

+# 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.
+

+- `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
+

 **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);
+```
+
+### 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.
-**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`
+9. `receipt-journey.e2e.test.ts`
+10. `upc-journey.e2e.test.ts`
+11. `user-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?
