+### PM2 Process Isolation (Production/Test Servers)
+
+**CRITICAL**: Production and test environments share the same PM2 daemon on the server.
+
+| Environment | Processes                                                                                    | Config File                 |
+| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- |
+| Production  | `flyer-crawler-api`, `flyer-crawler-worker`, `flyer-crawler-analytics-worker`                | `ecosystem.config.cjs`      |
+| Test        | `flyer-crawler-api-test`, `flyer-crawler-worker-test`, `flyer-crawler-analytics-worker-test` | `ecosystem-test.config.cjs` |
+| Development | `flyer-crawler-api-dev`, `flyer-crawler-worker-dev`, `flyer-crawler-vite-dev`                | `ecosystem.dev.config.cjs`  |
+
+**Deployment Scripts MUST:**
+
+- ✅ Filter PM2 commands by exact process names or name patterns (e.g., `endsWith('-test')`)
+- ❌ NEVER use `pm2 stop all`, `pm2 delete all`, or `pm2 restart all`
+- ❌ NEVER delete/stop processes based solely on status without name filtering
+- ✅ Always verify process names match the target environment before any operation
+
+**Examples:**
+
+```bash
+# ✅ CORRECT - Production cleanup (filter by name)
+pm2 stop flyer-crawler-api flyer-crawler-worker flyer-crawler-analytics-worker
+
+# ✅ CORRECT - Test cleanup (filter by name pattern)
+# Only delete test processes that are errored/stopped
+list.forEach(p => {
+  if ((p.pm2_env.status === 'errored' || p.pm2_env.status === 'stopped') &&
+      p.name && p.name.endsWith('-test')) {
+    exec('pm2 delete ' + p.pm2_env.pm_id);
+  }
+});
+
+# ❌ WRONG - Affects all environments
+pm2 stop all
+pm2 delete all
+
+# ❌ WRONG - No name filtering (could delete test processes during prod deploy)
+if (p.pm2_env.status === 'errored') {
+  exec('pm2 delete ' + p.pm2_env.pm_id);
+}
+```

 ## Context

 2. **Code-Documentation Sync**: Documentation should stay in sync with the actual code to prevent drift.
 3. **Low Maintenance Overhead**: The documentation approach should be "fast and lite" - minimal additional work for developers.

+5. **Type Safety**: Documentation should be derived from TypeScript types to ensure accuracy.
+
+### Why We Migrated from swagger-jsdoc to tsoa
+
+The original implementation used `swagger-jsdoc` to generate OpenAPI specs from JSDoc comments. This approach had several limitations:
+
+| Issue                                   | Impact                                       |

+| No runtime validation from schema       | Validation logic separate from documentation |
+| Manual type definitions in comments     | Error-prone, no compiler verification        |
 
 ## Decision
 
-We will adopt **OpenAPI 3.0 (Swagger)** for API documentation using the following approach:
+We adopt **tsoa** for API documentation using a decorator-based controller pattern:
 
-1. **JSDoc Annotations**: Use `swagger-jsdoc` to generate OpenAPI specs from JSDoc comments in route files.
-2. **Swagger UI**: Use `swagger-ui-express` to serve interactive documentation at `/docs/api-docs`.
-3. **Environment Restriction**: Only expose the Swagger UI in development and test environments, not production.
-4. **Incremental Adoption**: Start with key public routes and progressively add annotations to all endpoints.
+1. **Controller Classes**: Use tsoa decorators (`@Route`, `@Get`, `@Post`, `@Security`, etc.) on controller classes.
+2. **TypeScript-First**: OpenAPI specs are generated directly from TypeScript interfaces and types.
+3. **Swagger UI**: Continue using `swagger-ui-express` to serve interactive documentation at `/docs/api-docs`.
+4. **Environment Restriction**: Only expose the Swagger UI in development and test environments, not production.
+5. **BaseController Pattern**: All controllers extend a base class providing response formatting utilities.

-**Why JSDoc over separate schema files?**
+**Why tsoa over swagger-jsdoc?**
 
-- Documentation lives with the code, reducing drift
-- No separate files to maintain
-- Developers see documentation when editing routes
-- Lower learning curve for the team
+- **Type-safe contracts**: Decorators derive types directly from TypeScript, eliminating duplicate definitions
+- **Active maintenance**: tsoa has an active community and regular releases
+- **Route generation**: tsoa generates Express routes automatically, reducing boilerplate
+- **Validation integration**: Request body types serve as validation contracts
+- **Reduced duplication**: No more parallel JSDoc + TypeScript type definitions

-### JSDoc Annotation Pattern
+### Controller Pattern
 
-Each route handler should include OpenAPI annotations using the `@openapi` tag:
+Each controller extends `BaseController` and uses tsoa decorators:
 
 ```typescript

- * /health/ping:
- *   get:
- *     summary: Simple ping endpoint
- *     description: Returns a pong response to verify server is responsive
- *     tags:
- *       - Health
- *     responses:

+  }
+}
 ```
 
-### Route Documentation Priority
+### BaseController Helpers
 
-Document routes in this order of priority:
+The `BaseController` class provides standardized response formatting:
 
-1. **Health Routes** - `/api/health/*` (public, critical for operations)
-2. **Auth Routes** - `/api/auth/*` (public, essential for integration)
-3. **Gamification Routes** - `/api/achievements/*` (simple, good example)
-4. **Flyer Routes** - `/api/flyers/*` (core functionality)
-5. **User Routes** - `/api/users/*` (common CRUD patterns)
-6. **Remaining Routes** - Budget, Recipe, Admin, etc.
+```typescript
+export abstract class BaseController extends Controller {
+  // Success response with data
+  protected success<T>(data: T): SuccessResponse<T> {
+    return { success: true, data };
+  }
+
+  // Success with 201 Created status
+  protected created<T>(data: T): SuccessResponse<T> {
+    this.setStatus(201);
+    return this.success(data);
+  }
+
+  // Paginated response with metadata
+  protected paginated<T>(data: T[], pagination: PaginationInput): PaginatedResponse<T> {
+    return {
+      success: true,
+      data,
+      meta: { pagination: this.calculatePagination(pagination) },
+    };
+  }
+
+  // Message-only response
+  protected message(message: string): SuccessResponse<{ message: string }> {
+    return this.success({ message });
+  }
+
+  // No content response (204)
+  protected noContent(): void {
+    this.setStatus(204);
+  }
+
+  // Error response (prefer throwing errors instead)
+  protected error(code: string, message: string, details?: unknown): ErrorResponse {
+    return { success: false, error: { code, message, details } };
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Authentication with @Security
+
+tsoa integrates with the existing passport-jwt strategy via a custom authentication module:
+
+```typescript
+// src/middleware/tsoaAuthentication.ts
+export async function expressAuthentication(
+  request: Request,
+  securityName: string,
+  _scopes?: string[],
+): Promise<UserProfile> {
+  if (securityName !== 'bearerAuth') {
+    throw new AuthenticationError(`Unknown security scheme: ${securityName}`);
+  }
+
+  const token = extractBearerToken(request);
+  const decoded = jwt.verify(token, process.env.JWT_SECRET!);
+  const userProfile = await userRepo.findUserProfileById(decoded.user_id);
+
+  if (!userProfile) {
+    throw new AuthenticationError('User not found');
+  }
+
+  request.user = userProfile;
+  return userProfile;
+}
+```
+
+Usage in controllers:
+
+```typescript
+@Get('profile')
+@Security('bearerAuth')
+public async getProfile(@Request() req: Express.Request): Promise<...> {
+  const user = req.user as UserProfile;
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+### DTO Organization
+
+Shared DTOs are defined in `src/dtos/common.dto.ts` to avoid duplicate type definitions across controllers:
+
+```typescript
+// src/dtos/common.dto.ts
+
+/**
+ * Address with flattened coordinates (tsoa-compatible).
+ * GeoJSONPoint uses coordinates: [number, number] which tsoa cannot handle.
+ */
+export interface AddressDto {
+  address_id: number;
+  address_line_1: string;
+  city: string;
+  province_state: string;
+  postal_code: string;
+  country: string;
+  latitude?: number | null; // Flattened from GeoJSONPoint
+  longitude?: number | null; // Flattened from GeoJSONPoint
+  // ...
+}
+
+export interface UserDto {
+  user_id: string;
+  email: string;
+  created_at: string;
+  updated_at: string;
+}
+
+export interface UserProfileDto {
+  full_name?: string | null;
+  role: 'admin' | 'user';
+  points: number;
+  user: UserDto;
+  address?: AddressDto | null;
+  // ...
+}
+```
 
 ### Swagger UI Setup
 
-In `server.ts`, add the Swagger UI middleware (development/test only):
+In `server.ts`, the Swagger UI middleware serves the tsoa-generated spec:
 
 ```typescript
 import swaggerUi from 'swagger-ui-express';
-import { swaggerSpec } from './src/config/swagger';
+import tsoaSpec from './src/config/tsoa-spec.json' with { type: 'json' };
 
 // Only serve Swagger UI in non-production environments
 if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
-  app.use('/docs/api-docs', swaggerUi.serve, swaggerUi.setup(swaggerSpec));
+  app.use('/docs/api-docs', swaggerUi.serve, swaggerUi.setup(tsoaSpec));
 
-  // Optionally expose raw JSON spec for tooling
+  // Raw JSON spec for tooling
   app.get('/docs/api-docs.json', (_req, res) => {
     res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
-    res.send(swaggerSpec);
+    res.send(tsoaSpec);
   });
 }
 ```
 
+### Build Integration
+
+tsoa spec and route generation is integrated into the build pipeline:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "tsoa:spec": "tsoa spec",
+    "tsoa:routes": "tsoa routes",
+    "prebuild": "npm run tsoa:spec && npm run tsoa:routes",

-### Security Considerations
-
-1. **Production Disabled**: Swagger UI is not available in production to prevent information disclosure.
-2. **No Sensitive Data**: Never include actual secrets, tokens, or PII in example values.
-3. **Authentication Documented**: Clearly document which endpoints require authentication.

 ## API Route Tags
 
 Organize endpoints using consistent tags:
 
-| Tag          | Description                        | Routes                |
+| Tag          | Description                        | Route Prefix          |

+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Production Disabled**: Swagger UI is not available in production to prevent information disclosure.
+2. **No Sensitive Data**: Never include actual secrets, tokens, or PII in example values.
+3. **Authentication Documented**: Clearly document which endpoints require authentication.
+4. **Rate Limiting**: Rate limiters are applied via `@Middlewares` decorator.
+
 ## Testing
 
 Verify API documentation is correct by:
 
 1. **Manual Review**: Navigate to `/docs/api-docs` and test each endpoint.
 2. **Spec Validation**: Use OpenAPI validators to check the generated spec.
-3. **Integration Tests**: Existing integration tests serve as implicit documentation verification.
+3. **Controller Tests**: Each controller has comprehensive test coverage (369 controller tests total).
+4. **Integration Tests**: 345 integration tests verify endpoint behavior.
 
 ## Consequences
 
 ### Positive
 
-- **Single Source of Truth**: Documentation lives with the code and stays in sync.
-- **Interactive Exploration**: Developers can try endpoints directly from the UI.
-- **SDK Generation**: OpenAPI spec enables automatic client SDK generation.
-- **Onboarding**: New developers can quickly understand the API surface.
-- **Low Overhead**: JSDoc annotations are minimal additions to existing code.
+- **Type-safe API contracts**: tsoa decorators derive types from TypeScript, eliminating duplicate definitions
+- **Single Source of Truth**: Documentation lives with the code and stays in sync
+- **Active Maintenance**: tsoa is actively maintained with regular releases
+- **Interactive Exploration**: Developers can try endpoints directly from Swagger UI
+- **SDK Generation**: OpenAPI spec enables automatic client SDK generation
+- **Reduced Boilerplate**: tsoa generates Express routes automatically
 
 ### Negative
 
-- **Maintenance Required**: Developers must update annotations when routes change.
-- **Build Dependency**: Adds `swagger-jsdoc` and `swagger-ui-express` packages.
-- **Initial Investment**: Existing routes need annotations added incrementally.
+- **Learning Curve**: Decorator-based controller pattern differs from Express handlers
+- **Generated Code**: `tsoa-generated.ts` must be regenerated when controllers change
+- **Build Step**: Adds `tsoa spec && tsoa routes` to the build pipeline
 
 ### Mitigation
 
-- Include documentation checks in code review process.
-- Start with high-priority routes and expand coverage over time.
-- Use TypeScript types to reduce documentation duplication where possible.
+- **Migration Guide**: Created comprehensive TSOA-MIGRATION-GUIDE.md for developers
+- **BaseController**: Provides familiar response helpers matching existing patterns
+- **Incremental Adoption**: Existing Express routes continue to work alongside tsoa controllers

+# ADR-0042: Browser Test Performance Optimization
+
+**Status**: Accepted
+**Date**: 2026-02-10
+**Authors**: Claude Code AI Agent
+
+## Context
+
+### Current State
+
+The stock-alert project has 64 Playwright browser tests across 5 spec files taking approximately 240 seconds (~4 minutes) to execute. Analysis reveals three major performance bottlenecks:
+
+| Metric                              | Count | Impact                                       |
+| ----------------------------------- | ----- | -------------------------------------------- |
+| Hardcoded `waitForTimeout()` calls  | 66    | ~120s cumulative wait time                   |
+| Redundant login calls per test      | 43    | ~2-3s each = 86-129s overhead                |
+| Visual regression tests blocking CI | 4     | Cannot run in parallel with functional tests |
+
+### Test Distribution
+
+| File                | Tests  | `waitForTimeout` Calls | `login()` Calls          |
+| ------------------- | ------ | ---------------------- | ------------------------ |
+| `dashboard.spec.js` | 10     | 8                      | 10                       |
+| `alerts.spec.js`    | 14     | 25                     | 1 (beforeEach)           |
+| `gaps.spec.js`      | 20     | 29                     | 1 (beforeEach)           |
+| `login.spec.js`     | 11     | 4                      | 0 (tests login itself)   |
+| `visual.spec.js`    | 4      | 0                      | 4 (via navigateWithAuth) |
+| **Total**           | **59** | **66**                 | **16 patterns**          |
+
+### Root Causes
+
+1. **Anti-Pattern: Hardcoded Timeouts**
+   - `waitForTimeout(2000)` used to "wait for data to load"
+   - Unnecessarily slow on fast systems, flaky on slow systems
+   - No correlation to actual page readiness
+
+2. **Anti-Pattern: Per-Test Authentication**
+   - Each test navigates to `/login`, enters password, submits
+   - Session cookie persists across requests but not across tests
+   - `beforeEach` login adds 2-3 seconds per test
+
+3. **Architecture: Mixed Test Types**
+   - Visual regression tests require different infrastructure (baseline images)
+   - Functional tests and visual tests compete for worker slots
+   - Cannot optimize CI parallelization
+
+### Requirements
+
+1. Reduce test suite runtime by 40-55%
+2. Improve test determinism (eliminate flakiness)
+3. Maintain test coverage and reliability
+4. Enable parallel CI execution where possible
+5. Document patterns for other projects
+
+## Decision
+
+Implement three optimization phases:
+
+### Phase 1: Event-Based Wait Replacement (Primary Impact: ~50% of time savings)
+
+Replace all 66 `waitForTimeout()` calls with Playwright's event-based waiting APIs.
+
+**Replacement Patterns:**
+
+| Current Pattern                         | Replacement                                       | Rationale                     |
+| --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
+| `waitForTimeout(2000)` after navigation | `waitForLoadState('networkidle')`                 | Waits for network quiescence  |
+| `waitForTimeout(1000)` after click      | `waitForSelector('.result')`                      | Waits for specific DOM change |
+| `waitForTimeout(3000)` for charts       | `waitForSelector('canvas', { state: 'visible' })` | Waits for chart render        |
+| `waitForTimeout(500)` for viewport      | `waitForFunction(() => ...)`                      | Waits for layout reflow       |
+
+**Implementation Examples:**
+
+```javascript
+// BEFORE: Hardcoded timeout
+await page.goto('/alerts');
+await page.waitForTimeout(2000);
+const rows = await page.locator('tbody tr').count();
+
+// AFTER: Event-based wait
+await page.goto('/alerts');
+await page.waitForLoadState('networkidle');
+await page.waitForSelector('tbody tr', { state: 'attached' });
+const rows = await page.locator('tbody tr').count();
+```
+
+```javascript
+// BEFORE: Hardcoded timeout after action
+await page.click('#runCheckBtn');
+await page.waitForTimeout(2000);
+
+// AFTER: Wait for response
+const [response] = await Promise.all([
+  page.waitForResponse((resp) => resp.url().includes('/api/check')),
+  page.click('#runCheckBtn'),
+]);
+```
+
+**Helper Function Addition to `helpers.js`:**
+
+```javascript
+/**
+ * Waits for page to be fully loaded with data.
+ * Replaces hardcoded waitForTimeout calls.
+ */
+async function waitForPageReady(page, options = {}) {
+  const { dataSelector = null, networkIdle = true, minTime = 0 } = options;
+
+  const promises = [];
+
+  if (networkIdle) {
+    promises.push(page.waitForLoadState('networkidle'));
+  }
+
+  if (dataSelector) {
+    promises.push(page.waitForSelector(dataSelector, { state: 'visible' }));
+  }
+
+  if (minTime > 0) {
+    promises.push(page.waitForTimeout(minTime)); // Escape hatch for animations
+  }
+
+  await Promise.all(promises);
+}
+```
+
+**Estimated Time Savings:** 60-80 seconds (eliminates ~120s of cumulative waits, but event waits have overhead)
+
+### Phase 2: Global Authentication Setup (Primary Impact: ~35% of time savings)
+
+Share authenticated session across all tests using Playwright's global setup feature.
+
+**Architecture:**
+
+```
+                         ┌──────────────────┐
+                         │  global-setup.js │
+                         │                  │
+                         │ 1. Login once    │
+                         │ 2. Save storage  │
+                         └────────┬─────────┘
+                                  │
+           ┌──────────────────────┼──────────────────────┐
+           │                      │                      │
+           ▼                      ▼                      ▼
+  ┌─────────────────┐   ┌─────────────────┐   ┌─────────────────┐
+  │ dashboard.spec  │   │  alerts.spec    │   │   gaps.spec     │
+  │ (reuses auth)   │   │ (reuses auth)   │   │ (reuses auth)   │
+  └─────────────────┘   └─────────────────┘   └─────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Implementation Files:**
+
+**`tests/browser/global-setup.js`:**
+
+```javascript
+const { chromium } = require('@playwright/test');
+const path = require('path');
+
+const authFile = path.join(__dirname, '.auth', 'user.json');
+
+module.exports = async function globalSetup() {
+  const browser = await chromium.launch();
+  const page = await browser.newPage();
+
+  // Only perform login if authentication is enabled
+  if (process.env.DASHBOARD_PASSWORD) {
+    await page.goto(process.env.PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL || 'http://localhost:8980');
+
+    // Perform login
+    await page.goto('/login');
+    await page.fill('#password', process.env.DASHBOARD_PASSWORD);
+    await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
+    await page.waitForURL('/');
+
+    // Save authentication state
+    await page.context().storageState({ path: authFile });
+  }
+
+  await browser.close();
+};
+```
+
+**`playwright.config.js` Updates:**
+
+```javascript
+module.exports = defineConfig({
+  // ... existing config ...
+
+  // Global setup runs once before all tests
+  globalSetup: require.resolve('./tests/browser/global-setup.js'),
+
+  projects: [
+    {
+      name: 'chromium',
+      use: {
+        ...devices['Desktop Chrome'],
+        // Reuse authentication state from global setup
+        storageState: './tests/browser/.auth/user.json',
+      },
+    },
+  ],
+});
+```
+
+**Test File Updates:**
+
+```javascript
+// BEFORE: Login in beforeEach
+test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
+  page.consoleErrors = captureConsoleErrors(page);
+  if (isAuthEnabled()) {
+    await login(page);
+  }
+});
+
+// AFTER: Remove login (handled by global setup)
+test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
+  page.consoleErrors = captureConsoleErrors(page);
+  // Authentication already applied via storageState
+});
+```
+
+**Estimated Time Savings:** 80-100 seconds (43 logins x ~2-3s each, minus 3s for global setup)
+
+### Phase 3: Visual Test Separation (Primary Impact: CI parallelization)
+
+Separate visual regression tests into a dedicated project for parallel CI execution.
+
+**Project Configuration:**
+
+```javascript
+// playwright.config.js
+module.exports = defineConfig({
+  projects: [
+    // Functional tests - fast, event-based
+    {
+      name: 'functional',
+      testMatch: /^(?!.*visual).*\.spec\.js$/,
+      use: {
+        ...devices['Desktop Chrome'],
+        storageState: './tests/browser/.auth/user.json',
+      },
+    },
+    // Visual tests - separate baseline management
+    {
+      name: 'visual',
+      testMatch: '**/visual.spec.js',
+      use: {
+        ...devices['Desktop Chrome'],
+        storageState: './tests/browser/.auth/user.json',
+      },
+      // Different snapshot handling
+      snapshotPathTemplate: '{testDir}/__screenshots__/{projectName}/{testFilePath}/{arg}{ext}',
+    },
+  ],
+});
+```
+
+**CI Pipeline Updates:**
+
+```yaml
+# .gitea/workflows/test.yml
+jobs:
+  browser-functional:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - run: npx playwright test --project=functional
+
+  browser-visual:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - run: npx playwright test --project=visual
+```
+
+**Estimated Time Savings:** 30-45 seconds (parallel execution vs sequential)
+

+| **Total**                | **8**     | **12**    | **170-225s (70-94%)** |
+
+### Expected Results
+
+| Metric             | Before | After     | Improvement   |
+| ------------------ | ------ | --------- | ------------- |
+| Total Runtime      | 240s   | 110-140s  | 42-54% faster |
+| Flaky Test Rate    | ~5%    | <1%       | 80% reduction |
+| CI Parallelization | None   | 2 workers | 2x throughput |
+| Login Operations   | 43     | 1         | 98% reduction |
+| Hardcoded Waits    | 66     | <5        | 92% reduction |
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+1. **Performance**: 40-55% reduction in test runtime
+2. **Reliability**: Event-based waits eliminate timing flakiness
+3. **Scalability**: Global setup pattern scales to N tests with O(1) login cost
+4. **CI Efficiency**: Parallel visual tests enable faster feedback loops
+5. **Maintainability**: Centralized auth logic reduces code duplication
+6. **Transferable Knowledge**: Patterns applicable to any Playwright project
+
+### Negative
+
+1. **Initial Migration Effort**: 8-12 hours of refactoring
+2. **Learning Curve**: Team must understand Playwright wait APIs
+3. **Global Setup Complexity**: Adds shared state between tests
+4. **Debugging Harder**: Shared auth can mask test isolation issues
+
+### Mitigations
+
+| Risk               | Mitigation                                                    |
+| ------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Global setup fails | Add retry logic; fallback to per-test login                   |
+| Event waits flaky  | Keep small timeout buffer (100ms) as escape hatch             |
+| Visual tests drift | Separate baseline management per environment                  |
+| Test isolation     | Run `--project=functional` without auth for isolation testing |
+
+### Neutral
+
+- Test count unchanged (59 tests)
+- Coverage unchanged
+- Visual baselines unchanged (path changes only)
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### Alternative 1: Reduce Test Count
+
+**Rejected:** Sacrifices coverage for speed. Tests exist for a reason.
+
+### Alternative 2: Increase Worker Parallelism
+
+**Rejected:** Server cannot handle >2 concurrent sessions reliably; creates resource contention.
+
+### Alternative 3: Use `page.waitForTimeout()` with Shorter Durations
+
+**Rejected:** Addresses symptom, not root cause. Still creates timing-dependent tests.
+
+### Alternative 4: Cookie Injection Instead of Login
+
+**Rejected:** Requires reverse-engineering session format; brittle if auth changes.
+
+### Alternative 5: HTTP API Authentication (No Browser)
+
+**Rejected:** Loses browser session behavior validation; tests login flow.

+## Implementation Details
+
+### Wait Replacement Mapping
+
+| File                | Current Timeouts       | Replacement Strategy                                                   |
+| ------------------- | ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `dashboard.spec.js` | 1000ms, 2000ms, 3000ms | `waitForSelector` for charts, `waitForLoadState` for navigation        |
+| `alerts.spec.js`    | 500ms, 1000ms, 2000ms  | `waitForResponse` for API calls, `waitForSelector` for table rows      |
+| `gaps.spec.js`      | 500ms, 1000ms, 2000ms  | `waitForResponse` for `/api/gaps`, `waitForSelector` for summary cards |
+| `login.spec.js`     | 500ms, 2000ms          | `waitForURL` for redirects, `waitForSelector` for error messages       |
+
+### Common Wait Patterns for This Codebase
+
+| Scenario              | Recommended Pattern                               | Example                   |
+| --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
+| After page navigation | `waitForLoadState('networkidle')`                 | Loading dashboard data    |
+| After button click    | `waitForResponse()` + `waitForSelector()`         | Run Check button          |
+| After filter change   | `waitForResponse(/api\/.*/)`                      | Status filter dropdown    |
+| For chart rendering   | `waitForSelector('canvas', { state: 'visible' })` | Chart cards               |
+| For modal appearance  | `waitForSelector('.modal', { state: 'visible' })` | Confirmation dialogs      |
+| For layout change     | `waitForFunction()`                               | Responsive viewport tests |
+
+### Auth Storage Structure
+
+```
+tests/browser/
+├── .auth/
+│   └── user.json          # Generated by global-setup, gitignored
+├── global-setup.js        # Creates user.json
+├── dashboard.spec.js      # Uses storageState
+├── alerts.spec.js
+├── gaps.spec.js
+├── login.spec.js          # Tests login itself, may need special handling
+└── visual.spec.js
+```
+
+**`.gitignore` Addition:**
+
+```
+tests/browser/.auth/
+```
+
+### Login.spec.js Special Handling
+
+`login.spec.js` tests the login flow itself and must NOT use the shared auth state:
+
+```javascript
+// playwright.config.js
+projects: [
+  {
+    name: 'functional',
+    testMatch: /^(?!.*login).*\.spec\.js$/,
+    use: { storageState: './tests/browser/.auth/user.json' },
+  },
+  {
+    name: 'login',
+    testMatch: '**/login.spec.js',
+    use: { storageState: undefined }, // No auth - tests login flow
+  },
+];
+```
+
+## Testing the Optimization
+
+### Baseline Measurement
+
+```bash
+# Before optimization: establish baseline
+time npm run test:browser 2>&1 | tee baseline-timing.log
+grep -E "passed|failed|skipped" baseline-timing.log
+```
+
+### Incremental Verification
+
+```bash
+# After Phase 1: verify wait replacement
+npm run test:browser -- --reporter=list 2>&1 | grep -E "passed|failed|slow"
+
+# After Phase 2: verify global auth
+npm run test:browser -- --trace on
+# Check trace for login occurrences (should be 1)
+
+# After Phase 3: verify parallel execution
+npm run test:browser -- --project=functional &
+npm run test:browser -- --project=visual &
+wait
+```
+
+### Success Criteria
+
+| Metric                 | Target | Measurement                            |
+| ---------------------- | ------ | -------------------------------------- |
+| Total runtime          | <150s  | `time npm run test:browser`            |
+| Login count            | 1      | Grep traces for `/login` navigation    |
+| Flaky rate             | <2%    | 50 consecutive CI runs                 |
+| `waitForTimeout` count | <5     | `grep -r waitForTimeout tests/browser` |
+
+## Lessons Learned / Patterns for Other Projects
+
+### Pattern 1: Always Prefer Event-Based Waits
+
+```javascript
+// Bad
+await page.click('#submit');
+await page.waitForTimeout(2000);
+expect(await page.title()).toBe('Success');
+
+// Good
+await Promise.all([page.waitForNavigation(), page.click('#submit')]);
+expect(await page.title()).toBe('Success');
+```
+
+### Pattern 2: Global Setup for Authentication
+
+Playwright's `storageState` feature should be the default for any authenticated app:
+
+1. Create `global-setup.js` that performs login once
+2. Save cookies/storage to JSON file
+3. Configure `storageState` in `playwright.config.js`
+4. Tests start authenticated with zero overhead
+
+### Pattern 3: Separate Test Types by Execution Characteristics
+
+| Test Type  | Characteristics          | Strategy                          |
+| ---------- | ------------------------ | --------------------------------- |
+| Functional | Fast, deterministic      | Run first, gate deployment        |
+| Visual     | Slow, baseline-dependent | Run in parallel, separate project |
+| E2E        | Cross-service, slow      | Run nightly, separate workflow    |
+
+### Pattern 4: Measure Before and After
+
+Always establish baseline metrics before optimization:
+
+```bash
+# Essential metrics to capture
+time npm run test:browser       # Total runtime
+grep -c waitForTimeout *.js     # Hardcoded wait count
+grep -c 'await login' *.js      # Login call count
+```

+# ADR-059: Dependency Modernization Plan
+
+**Status**: Accepted
+**Date**: 2026-02-12
+**Implemented**: 2026-02-12
+
+## Context
+
+NPM audit and security scanning identified deprecated dependencies requiring modernization:
+
+| Dependency      | Current | Issue                   | Replacement                             |
+| --------------- | ------- | ----------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
+| `swagger-jsdoc` | 6.2.8   | Unmaintained since 2022 | `tsoa` (decorator-based OpenAPI)        |
+| `rimraf`        | 6.1.2   | Legacy cleanup utility  | Node.js `fs.rm()` (native since v14.14) |
+
+**Constraints**:
+
+- Existing `@openapi` JSDoc annotations in 20 route files
+- ADR-018 compliance (API documentation strategy)
+- Zero-downtime migration (phased approach)
+- Must maintain Express 5.x compatibility
+
+## Decision
+
+### 1. swagger-jsdoc → tsoa Migration
+
+**Architecture**: tsoa controller classes + Express integration (no replacement of Express routing layer).
+
+```text
+Current:  Route Files → JSDoc Annotations → swagger-jsdoc → OpenAPI Spec
+Future:   Controller Classes → @Route/@Get decorators → tsoa → OpenAPI Spec + Route Registration
+```
+
+**Controller Pattern**: Base controller providing common utilities:
+
+```typescript
+// src/controllers/base.controller.ts
+export abstract class BaseController {
+  protected sendSuccess<T>(res: Response, data: T, status = 200) {
+    return sendSuccess(res, data, status);
+  }
+  protected sendError(
+    res: Response,
+    code: ErrorCode,
+    msg: string,
+    status: number,
+    details?: unknown,
+  ) {
+    return sendError(res, code, msg, status, details);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Express Integration Strategy**: tsoa generates routes.ts; wrap with Express middleware pipeline:
+
+```typescript
+// server.ts integration
+import { RegisterRoutes } from './src/generated/routes';
+RegisterRoutes(app); // tsoa registers routes with existing Express app
+```
+
+### 2. rimraf → fs.rm() Migration
+
+**Change**: Replace `rimraf coverage .coverage` script with Node.js native API.
+
+```json
+// package.json (before)
+"clean": "rimraf coverage .coverage"
+
+// package.json (after)
+"clean": "node -e \"import('fs/promises').then(fs => Promise.all([fs.rm('coverage', {recursive:true,force:true}), fs.rm('.coverage', {recursive:true,force:true})]))\""
+```
+
+**Alternative**: Create `scripts/clean.mjs` for maintainability:
+
+```javascript
+// scripts/clean.mjs
+import { rm } from 'fs/promises';
+await Promise.all([
+  rm('coverage', { recursive: true, force: true }),
+  rm('.coverage', { recursive: true, force: true }),
+]);
+```
+

+### Critical Path
+
+**Minimum time to completion**: Tasks 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 (or any controller) → 18 → 19 → 20 → 21 → 22 → 23 → 24
+
+**Parallelization opportunities**:
+
+- Tasks 5-14 (all controller migrations) can run in parallel after Task 4
+- Tasks 15-17 (rimraf removal) can run in parallel with controller migrations
+
+## Technical Decisions
+
+### tsoa Configuration
+
+```json
+// tsoa.json
+{
+  "entryFile": "server.ts",
+  "noImplicitAdditionalProperties": "throw-on-extras",
+  "controllerPathGlobs": ["src/controllers/**/*.controller.ts"],
+  "spec": {
+    "outputDirectory": "src/generated",
+    "specVersion": 3,
+    "basePath": "/api/v1"
+  },
+  "routes": {
+    "routesDir": "src/generated",
+    "middleware": "express"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Decorator Migration Example
+
+**Before** (swagger-jsdoc):
+
+```typescript
+/**
+ * @openapi
+ * /health/ping:
+ *   get:
+ *     summary: Simple ping endpoint
+ *     tags: [Health]
+ *     responses:
+ *       200:
+ *         description: Server is responsive
+ */
+router.get('/ping', validateRequest(emptySchema), handler);
+```
+
+**After** (tsoa):
+
+```typescript
+@Route('health')
+@Tags('Health')
+export class HealthController extends BaseController {
+  @Get('ping')
+  @SuccessResponse(200, 'Server is responsive')
+  public async ping(): Promise<{ message: string }> {
+    return { message: 'pong' };
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Zod Integration
+
+tsoa uses its own validation. Options:
+
+1. **Replace Zod with tsoa validation** - Use `@Body`, `@Query`, `@Path` decorators with TypeScript types
+2. **Hybrid approach** - Keep Zod schemas, call `validateRequest()` within controller methods
+3. **Custom template** - Generate tsoa routes that call Zod validation middleware
+
+**Recommended**: Option 1 for new controllers; gradually migrate existing Zod schemas.
+
+## Risk Mitigation
+
+| Risk                                    | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation                                  |
+| --------------------------------------- | ---------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------- |
+| tsoa/Express 5.x incompatibility        | Medium     | High   | Test in dev container before migration      |
+| Missing OpenAPI coverage post-migration | Low        | Medium | Compare generated specs before/after        |
+| Authentication middleware integration   | Medium     | Medium | Test @Security decorator with passport-jwt  |
+| Test regression from route changes      | Low        | High   | Run full test suite after each controller   |
+| Build time increase (tsoa generation)   | Low        | Low    | Add to npm run build; cache generated files |
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- **Type-safe API contracts**: tsoa decorators derive types from TypeScript
+- **Reduced duplication**: No more parallel JSDoc + TypeScript type definitions
+- **Modern tooling**: Active tsoa community (vs. unmaintained swagger-jsdoc)
+- **Native Node.js**: fs.rm() is built-in, no external dependency
+- **Smaller dependency tree**: Remove rimraf (5 transitive deps) + swagger-jsdoc (8 transitive deps)
+
+### Negative
+
+- **Learning curve**: Decorator-based controller pattern differs from Express handlers
+- **Migration effort**: 20 route files require conversion
+- **Generated code**: `src/generated/routes.ts` must be version-controlled or regenerated on build
+
+### Neutral
+
+- **Build step change**: Add `tsoa spec && tsoa routes` to build pipeline
+- **Testing approach**: May need to adjust test structure for controller classes
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+### 1. Update swagger-jsdoc to fork/successor
+
+**Rejected**: No active fork; community has moved to tsoa, fastify-swagger, or NestJS.
+
+### 2. NestJS migration
+
+**Rejected**: Full framework migration (Express → NestJS) is disproportionate to the problem scope.
+
+### 3. fastify-swagger
+
+**Rejected**: Requires Express → Fastify migration; out of scope.
+
+### 4. Keep rimraf, accept deprecation warning
+
+**Rejected**: Native fs.rm() is trivial replacement; no reason to maintain deprecated dependency.

+# ADR-027: Standardized Application-Wide Structured Logging
+
+**Date**: 2026-02-10
+
+**Status**: Accepted
+
+**Source**: Imported from flyer-crawler project (ADR-004)
+
+**Related**: [ADR-017](ADR-017-structured-logging-with-pino.md), [ADR-028](ADR-028-client-side-structured-logging.md), [ADR-029](ADR-029-error-tracking-with-bugsink.md)
+
+## Context
+
+While ADR-017 established Pino as our logging framework, this ADR extends that foundation with application-wide standards for request tracing, context propagation, and structured log formats.
+
+The implementation of logging can vary significantly across different modules. The error handler middleware may produce high-quality, structured JSON logs for errors, but logging within route handlers and service layers can become ad-hoc, using plain strings or inconsistent object structures.
+
+This inconsistency leads to several problems:
+
+- **Difficult Debugging**: It is hard to trace a single user request through the system or correlate events related to a specific operation
+- **Ineffective Log Analysis**: Inconsistent log formats make it difficult to effectively query, filter, and create dashboards in log management systems (like Datadog, Splunk, or the ELK stack)
+- **Security Risks**: There is no enforced standard for redacting sensitive information (like passwords or tokens) in logs outside of the error handler, increasing the risk of accidental data exposure
+- **Missing Context**: Logs often lack crucial context, such as a unique request ID, the authenticated user's ID, or the source IP address, making them less useful for diagnosing issues
+
+## Decision
+
+We will adopt a standardized, application-wide structured logging policy. All log entries MUST be in JSON format and adhere to a consistent schema.
+
+### 1. Request-Scoped Logger with Context
+
+We will create a middleware that runs at the beginning of the request lifecycle. This middleware will:
+
+- Generate a unique `request_id` for each incoming request
+- Create a request-scoped logger instance (a "child logger") that automatically includes the `request_id`, `user_id` (if authenticated), and `ip_address` in every log message it generates
+- Attach this child logger to the `req` object (e.g., `req.log`)
+
+### 2. Mandatory Use of Request-Scoped Logger
+
+All route handlers and any service functions called by them **MUST** use the request-scoped logger (`req.log`) instead of the global logger instance. This ensures all logs for a given request are automatically correlated.
+
+### 3. Standardized Log Schema
+
+All log messages should follow a base schema. The logger configuration will be updated to enforce this.
+
+**Base Fields**: `level`, `timestamp`, `message`, `request_id`, `user_id`, `ip_address`
+
+**Error Fields**: When logging an error, the log entry MUST include an `error` object with `name`, `message`, and `stack`.
+
+### 4. Standardized Logging Practices
+
+| Level | HTTP Status | Scenario                                           |
+| ----- | ----------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
+| DEBUG | Any         | Request incoming, internal state, development info |
+| INFO  | 2xx         | Successful requests, business events               |
+| WARN  | 4xx         | Client errors, validation failures, not found      |
+| ERROR | 5xx         | Server errors, unhandled exceptions                |
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Logger Configuration
+
+Located in `src/services/logger.server.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import pino from 'pino';
+
+const isProduction = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production';
+const isTest = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'test';
+
+export const logger = pino({
+  level: isProduction ? 'info' : 'debug',
+  transport:
+    isProduction || isTest
+      ? undefined
+      : {
+          target: 'pino-pretty',
+          options: {
+            colorize: true,
+            translateTime: 'SYS:standard',
+            ignore: 'pid,hostname',
+          },
+        },
+  redact: {
+    paths: [
+      'req.headers.authorization',
+      'req.headers.cookie',
+      '*.body.password',
+      '*.body.newPassword',
+      '*.body.currentPassword',
+      '*.body.confirmPassword',
+      '*.body.refreshToken',
+      '*.body.token',
+    ],
+    censor: '[REDACTED]',
+  },
+});
+```
+
+### Request Logger Middleware
+
+Located in `server.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import { randomUUID } from 'crypto';
+import type { Request, Response, NextFunction } from 'express';
+import { logger } from './services/logger.server';
+
+const requestLogger = (req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {
+  const requestId = randomUUID();
+  const user = req.user as UserProfile | undefined;
+  const start = process.hrtime();
+
+  // Create request-scoped logger
+  req.log = logger.child({
+    request_id: requestId,
+    user_id: user?.user.user_id,
+    ip_address: req.ip,
+  });
+
+  req.log.debug({ method: req.method, originalUrl: req.originalUrl }, 'INCOMING');
+
+  res.on('finish', () => {
+    const duration = getDurationInMilliseconds(start);
+    const { statusCode, statusMessage } = res;
+    const logDetails = {
+      user_id: (req.user as UserProfile | undefined)?.user.user_id,
+      method: req.method,
+      originalUrl: req.originalUrl,
+      statusCode,
+      statusMessage,
+      duration: duration.toFixed(2),
+    };
+
+    // Include request details for failed requests (for debugging)
+    if (statusCode >= 400) {
+      logDetails.req = { headers: req.headers, body: req.body };
+    }
+
+    if (statusCode >= 500) req.log.error(logDetails, 'Request completed with server error');
+    else if (statusCode >= 400) req.log.warn(logDetails, 'Request completed with client error');
+    else req.log.info(logDetails, 'Request completed successfully');
+  });
+
+  next();
+};
+
+app.use(requestLogger);
+```
+
+### TypeScript Support
+
+The `req.log` property is typed via declaration merging in `src/types/express.d.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import { Logger } from 'pino';
+
+declare global {
+  namespace Express {
+    export interface Request {
+      log: Logger;
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Automatic Sensitive Data Redaction
+
+The Pino logger automatically redacts sensitive fields:
+
+```json
+// Before redaction
+{
+  "body": {
+    "email": "user@example.com",
+    "password": "secret123",
+    "newPassword": "newsecret456"
+  }
+}
+
+// After redaction (in logs)
+{
+  "body": {
+    "email": "user@example.com",
+    "password": "[REDACTED]",
+    "newPassword": "[REDACTED]"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Service Layer Logging
+
+Services accept the request-scoped logger as an optional parameter:
+
+```typescript
+export async function registerUser(email: string, password: string, reqLog?: Logger) {
+  const log = reqLog || logger; // Fall back to global logger
+
+  log.info({ email }, 'Registering new user');
+  // ... implementation
+
+  log.debug({ userId: user.user_id }, 'User created successfully');
+  return user;
+}
+
+// In route handler
+router.post('/register', async (req, res, next) => {
+  await authService.registerUser(req.body.email, req.body.password, req.log);
+});
+```
+
+### Log Output Format
+
+**Development** (pino-pretty):
+
+```text
+[2026-01-09 12:34:56.789] INFO (request_id=abc123): Request completed successfully
+    method: "GET"
+    originalUrl: "/api/users"
+    statusCode: 200
+    duration: "45.23"
+```
+
+**Production** (JSON):
+
+```json
+{
+  "level": 30,
+  "time": 1704812096789,
+  "request_id": "abc123",
+  "user_id": "user_456",
+  "ip_address": "192.168.1.1",
+  "method": "GET",
+  "originalUrl": "/api/users",
+  "statusCode": 200,
+  "duration": "45.23",
+  "msg": "Request completed successfully"
+}
+```
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- **Enhanced Observability**: Every log line from a single request can be instantly grouped and analyzed, dramatically speeding up debugging
+- **Improved Security**: Centralizing the addition of context (like `user_id`) reduces the chance of developers manually logging sensitive data
+- **Scalable Log Management**: Consistent JSON logs are easily ingested and indexed by any modern log aggregation tool
+- **Clearer Code**: Removes the need to manually pass contextual information (like user ID) down to service functions just for logging purposes
+
+### Negative
+
+- **Refactoring Effort**: Requires adding the `requestLogger` middleware and refactoring all routes and services to use `req.log` instead of the global `logger`
+- **Slight Performance Overhead**: Creating a child logger for every request adds a minor performance cost, though this is negligible for most modern logging libraries

+# ADR-028: Standardized Client-Side Structured Logging
+
+**Date**: 2026-02-10
+
+**Status**: Accepted
+
+**Source**: Imported from flyer-crawler project (ADR-026)
+
+**Related**: [ADR-027](ADR-027-application-wide-structured-logging.md), [ADR-029](ADR-029-error-tracking-with-bugsink.md)
+
+## Context
+
+Following the standardization of backend logging in ADR-027, it is clear that our frontend components also require a consistent logging strategy. Currently, components either use `console.log` directly or a simple wrapper, but without a formal standard, this can lead to inconsistent log formats and difficulty in debugging user-facing issues.
+
+While the frontend does not have the concept of a "request-scoped" logger, the principles of structured, context-rich logging are equally important for:
+
+1. **Effective Debugging**: Understanding the state of a component or the sequence of user interactions that led to an error
+2. **Integration with Monitoring Tools**: Sending structured logs to services like Sentry/Bugsink or LogRocket allows for powerful analysis and error tracking in production
+3. **Clean Test Outputs**: Uncontrolled logging can pollute test runner output, making it difficult to spot actual test failures
+
+An existing client-side logger at `src/services/logger.client.ts` provides a simple, structured logging interface. This ADR formalizes its use as the application standard.
+
+## Decision
+
+We will adopt a standardized, application-wide structured logging policy for all client-side (React) code.
+
+### 1. Mandatory Use of the Global Client Logger
+
+All frontend components, hooks, and services **MUST** use the global logger singleton exported from `src/services/logger.client.ts`. Direct use of `console.log`, `console.error`, etc., is discouraged.
+
+### 2. Pino-like API for Structured Logging
+
+The client logger mimics the `pino` API, which is the standard on the backend. It supports two primary call signatures:
+
+- `logger.info('A simple message');`
+- `logger.info({ key: 'value' }, 'A message with a structured data payload');`
+
+The second signature, which includes a data object as the first argument, is **strongly preferred**, especially for logging errors or complex state.
+
+### 3. Mocking in Tests
+
+All Jest/Vitest tests for components or hooks that use the logger **MUST** mock the `src/services/logger.client.ts` module. This prevents logs from appearing in test output and allows for assertions that the logger was called correctly.
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Client Logger Service
+
+Located in `src/services/logger.client.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+type LogLevel = 'debug' | 'info' | 'warn' | 'error';
+
+interface LoggerOptions {
+  level?: LogLevel;
+  enabled?: boolean;
+}
+
+const LOG_LEVELS: Record<LogLevel, number> = {
+  debug: 0,
+  info: 1,
+  warn: 2,
+  error: 3,
+};
+
+class ClientLogger {
+  private level: LogLevel;
+  private enabled: boolean;
+
+  constructor(options: LoggerOptions = {}) {
+    this.level = options.level ?? 'info';
+    this.enabled = options.enabled ?? import.meta.env.DEV;
+  }
+
+  private shouldLog(level: LogLevel): boolean {
+    return this.enabled && LOG_LEVELS[level] >= LOG_LEVELS[this.level];
+  }
+
+  private formatMessage(data: object | string, message?: string): string {
+    if (typeof data === 'string') {
+      return data;
+    }
+    const payload = JSON.stringify(data, null, 2);
+    return message ? `${message}\n${payload}` : payload;
+  }
+
+  debug(data: object | string, message?: string): void {
+    if (this.shouldLog('debug')) {
+      console.debug(`[DEBUG] ${this.formatMessage(data, message)}`);
+    }
+  }
+
+  info(data: object | string, message?: string): void {
+    if (this.shouldLog('info')) {
+      console.info(`[INFO] ${this.formatMessage(data, message)}`);
+    }
+  }
+
+  warn(data: object | string, message?: string): void {
+    if (this.shouldLog('warn')) {
+      console.warn(`[WARN] ${this.formatMessage(data, message)}`);
+    }
+  }
+
+  error(data: object | string, message?: string): void {
+    if (this.shouldLog('error')) {
+      console.error(`[ERROR] ${this.formatMessage(data, message)}`);
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+export const logger = new ClientLogger({
+  level: import.meta.env.DEV ? 'debug' : 'warn',
+  enabled: true,
+});
+```
+
+### Example Usage
+
+**Logging an Error in a Component:**
+
+```typescript
+// In a React component or hook
+import { logger } from '../services/logger.client';
+import { notifyError } from '../services/notificationService';
+
+const fetchData = async () => {
+  try {
+    const data = await apiClient.getData();
+    return data;
+  } catch (err) {
+    // Log the full error object for context, along with a descriptive message.
+    logger.error({ err }, 'Failed to fetch component data');
+    notifyError('Something went wrong. Please try again.');
+  }
+};
+```
+
+**Logging State Changes:**
+
+```typescript
+// In a Zustand store or state hook
+import { logger } from '../services/logger.client';
+
+const useAuthStore = create((set) => ({
+  login: async (credentials) => {
+    logger.info({ email: credentials.email }, 'User login attempt');
+    try {
+      const user = await authService.login(credentials);
+      logger.info({ userId: user.id }, 'User logged in successfully');
+      set({ user, isAuthenticated: true });
+    } catch (error) {
+      logger.error({ error }, 'Login failed');
+      throw error;
+    }
+  },
+}));
+```
+
+### Mocking the Logger in Tests
+
+```typescript
+// In a *.test.tsx file
+import { vi } from 'vitest';
+
+// Mock the logger at the top of the test file
+vi.mock('../services/logger.client', () => ({
+  logger: {
+    info: vi.fn(),
+    warn: vi.fn(),
+    error: vi.fn(),
+    debug: vi.fn(),
+  },
+}));
+
+describe('MyComponent', () => {
+  beforeEach(() => {
+    vi.clearAllMocks(); // Clear mocks between tests
+  });
+
+  it('should log an error when fetching fails', async () => {
+    // ... test setup to make fetch fail ...
+
+    // Assert that the logger was called with the expected structure
+    expect(logger.error).toHaveBeenCalledWith(
+      expect.objectContaining({ err: expect.any(Error) }),
+      'Failed to fetch component data',
+    );
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## Integration with Error Tracking
+
+When using Sentry/Bugsink for error tracking (see ADR-029), the client logger can be extended to send logs as breadcrumbs:
+
+```typescript
+import * as Sentry from '@sentry/react';
+
+class ClientLogger {
+  // ... existing implementation
+
+  error(data: object | string, message?: string): void {
+    if (this.shouldLog('error')) {
+      console.error(`[ERROR] ${this.formatMessage(data, message)}`);
+    }
+
+    // Add to Sentry breadcrumbs for error context
+    Sentry.addBreadcrumb({
+      category: 'log',
+      level: 'error',
+      message: typeof data === 'string' ? data : message,
+      data: typeof data === 'object' ? data : undefined,
+    });
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- **Consistency**: All client-side logs will have a predictable structure, making them easier to read and parse
+- **Debuggability**: Errors logged with a full object (`{ err }`) capture the stack trace and other properties, which is invaluable for debugging
+- **Testability**: Components that log are easier to test without polluting CI/CD output. We can also assert that logging occurs when expected
+- **Future-Proof**: If we later decide to send client-side logs to a remote service, we only need to modify the central `logger.client.ts` file instead of every component
+- **Error Tracking Integration**: Logs can be used as breadcrumbs in Sentry/Bugsink for better error context
+
+### Negative
+
+- **Minor Boilerplate**: Requires importing the logger in every file that needs it and mocking it in every corresponding test file. However, this is a small and consistent effort
+- **Production Noise**: Care must be taken to configure appropriate log levels in production to avoid performance impact

+# ADR-029: Error Tracking and Observability with Bugsink
+
+**Date**: 2026-02-10
+
+**Status**: Accepted
+
+**Source**: Imported from flyer-crawler project (ADR-015)
+
+**Related**: [ADR-027](ADR-027-application-wide-structured-logging.md), [ADR-028](ADR-028-client-side-structured-logging.md), [ADR-030](ADR-030-postgresql-function-observability.md), [ADR-032](ADR-032-application-performance-monitoring.md)
+
+## Context
+
+While ADR-027 established structured logging with Pino, the application lacks a high-level, aggregated view of its health and errors. It is difficult to spot trends, identify recurring issues, or be proactively notified of new types of errors.
+
+Key requirements:
+
+1. **Self-hosted**: No external SaaS dependencies for error tracking
+2. **Sentry SDK compatible**: Leverage mature, well-documented SDKs
+3. **Lightweight**: Minimal resource overhead in the dev container
+4. **Production-ready**: Same architecture works on bare-metal production servers
+5. **AI-accessible**: MCP server integration for Claude Code and other AI tools
+
+**Note**: Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and distributed tracing are covered separately in [ADR-032](ADR-032-application-performance-monitoring.md).
+
+## Decision
+
+We implement a self-hosted error tracking stack using **Bugsink** as the Sentry-compatible backend, with the following components:
+
+### 1. Error Tracking Backend: Bugsink
+
+**Bugsink** is a lightweight, self-hosted Sentry alternative that:
+
+- Runs as a single process (no Kafka, Redis, ClickHouse required)
+- Is fully compatible with Sentry SDKs
+- Supports ARM64 and AMD64 architectures
+- Can use SQLite (dev) or PostgreSQL (production)
+
+**Deployment**:
+
+- **Dev container**: Installed as a systemd service inside the container
+- **Production**: Runs as a systemd service on bare-metal, listening on localhost only
+- **Database**: Uses PostgreSQL with a dedicated `bugsink` user and `bugsink` database (same PostgreSQL instance as the main application)
+
+### 2. Backend Integration: @sentry/node
+
+The Express backend integrates `@sentry/node` SDK to:
+
+- Capture unhandled exceptions before PM2/process manager restarts
+- Report errors with full stack traces and context
+- Integrate with Pino logger for breadcrumbs
+- Filter errors by severity (only 5xx errors sent by default)
+
+### 3. Frontend Integration: @sentry/react
+
+The React frontend integrates `@sentry/react` SDK to:
+
+- Wrap the app in an Error Boundary for graceful error handling
+- Capture unhandled JavaScript errors
+- Report errors with component stack traces
+- Filter out browser extension errors
+- **Frontend Error Correlation**: The global API client intercepts 4xx/5xx responses and can attach the `x-request-id` header to Sentry scope for correlation with backend logs
+
+### 4. Log Aggregation: Logstash
+
+**Logstash** parses application and infrastructure logs, forwarding error patterns to Bugsink:
+
+- **Installation**: Installed inside the dev container (and on bare-metal prod servers)
+- **Inputs**:
+  - Pino JSON logs from the Node.js application (PM2 managed)
+  - Redis logs (connection errors, memory warnings, slow commands)
+  - PostgreSQL function logs (via `fn_log()` - see ADR-030)
+  - NGINX access/error logs
+- **Filter**: Identifies error-level logs (5xx responses, unhandled exceptions, Redis errors)
+- **Output**: Sends to Bugsink via Sentry-compatible HTTP API
+
+This provides a secondary error capture path for:
+
+- Errors that occur before Sentry SDK initialization
+- Log-based errors that do not throw exceptions
+- Redis connection/performance issues
+- Database function errors and slow queries
+- Historical error analysis from log files
+
+### 5. MCP Server Integration: bugsink-mcp
+
+For AI tool integration (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.), we use the open-source [bugsink-mcp](https://github.com/j-shelfwood/bugsink-mcp) server:
+
+- **No code changes required**: Configurable via environment variables
+- **Capabilities**: List projects, get issues, view events, get stacktraces, manage releases
+- **Configuration**:
+  - `BUGSINK_URL`: Points to Bugsink instance (`http://localhost:8000` for dev, `https://bugsink.example.com` for prod)
+  - `BUGSINK_API_TOKEN`: API token from Bugsink (created via Django management command)
+  - `BUGSINK_ORG_SLUG`: Organization identifier (usually "sentry")

+DATABASE_URL=postgresql://bugsink:bugsink_dev_password@localhost:5432/bugsink
+BASE_URL=http://localhost:8000
+PORT=8000
+```
+
+### Backend Sentry Integration
+
+Located in `src/services/sentry.server.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import * as Sentry from '@sentry/node';
+import { config } from '../config/env';
+
+export function initSentry() {
+  if (!config.sentry.enabled || !config.sentry.dsn) {
+    return;
+  }
+
+  Sentry.init({
+    dsn: config.sentry.dsn,
+    environment: config.sentry.environment || config.server.nodeEnv,
+    debug: config.sentry.debug,
+
+    // Performance monitoring - disabled by default (see ADR-032)
+    tracesSampleRate: 0,
+
+    // Filter out 4xx errors - only report server errors
+    beforeSend(event) {
+      const statusCode = event.contexts?.response?.status_code;
+      if (statusCode && statusCode >= 400 && statusCode < 500) {
+        return null;
+      }
+      return event;
+    },
+  });
+}
+
+// Set user context after authentication
+export function setUserContext(user: { id: string; email: string; name?: string }) {
+  Sentry.setUser({
+    id: user.id,
+    email: user.email,
+    username: user.name,
+  });
+}
+
+// Clear user context on logout
+export function clearUserContext() {
+  Sentry.setUser(null);
+}
+```
+
+### Frontend Sentry Integration
+
+Located in `src/services/sentry.client.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import * as Sentry from '@sentry/react';
+import { config } from '../config';
+
+export function initSentry() {
+  if (!config.sentry.enabled || !config.sentry.dsn) {
+    return;
+  }
+
+  Sentry.init({
+    dsn: config.sentry.dsn,
+    environment: config.sentry.environment,
+
+    // Performance monitoring - disabled by default (see ADR-032)
+    tracesSampleRate: 0,
+
+    // Filter out browser extension errors
+    beforeSend(event) {
+      // Ignore errors from browser extensions
+      if (
+        event.exception?.values?.[0]?.stacktrace?.frames?.some((frame) =>
+          frame.filename?.includes('extension://'),
+        )
+      ) {
+        return null;

+    email: user.email,
+    username: user.name,
+  });
+}
+
+// Clear user context on logout
+export function clearUserContext() {
+  Sentry.setUser(null);
+}
+```
+
+### Error Boundary Component
+
+Located in `src/components/ErrorBoundary.tsx`:
+
+```typescript
+import * as Sentry from '@sentry/react';
+import { Component, ErrorInfo, ReactNode } from 'react';
+
+interface Props {
+  children: ReactNode;
+  fallback?: ReactNode;
+}
+
+interface State {
+  hasError: boolean;
+}
+
+export class ErrorBoundary extends Component<Props, State> {
+  constructor(props: Props) {
+    super(props);
+    this.state = { hasError: false };
+  }
+
+  static getDerivedStateFromError(): State {
+    return { hasError: true };
+  }
+
+  componentDidCatch(error: Error, errorInfo: ErrorInfo) {
+    Sentry.withScope((scope) => {
+      scope.setExtras({ componentStack: errorInfo.componentStack });
+      Sentry.captureException(error);
+    });
+  }
+
+  render() {
+    if (this.state.hasError) {
+      return this.props.fallback || (
+        <div className="error-boundary">
+          <h1>Something went wrong</h1>
+          <p>Please refresh the page or contact support.</p>
+        </div>
+      );
+    }
+
+    return this.props.children;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Logstash Pipeline Configuration
+
+Key routing for log sources:
+
+| Source          | Bugsink Project |
+| --------------- | --------------- |
+| Backend (Pino)  | Backend API     |
+| Worker (Pino)   | Backend API     |
+| PostgreSQL logs | Backend API     |
+| Vite logs       | Infrastructure  |
+| Redis logs      | Infrastructure  |
+| NGINX logs      | Infrastructure  |
+| Frontend errors | Frontend        |
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- **Full observability**: Aggregated view of errors and trends
+- **Self-hosted**: No external SaaS dependencies or subscription costs
+- **SDK compatibility**: Leverages mature Sentry SDKs with excellent documentation
+- **AI integration**: MCP server enables Claude Code to query and analyze errors
+- **Unified architecture**: Same setup works in dev container and production
+- **Lightweight**: Bugsink runs in a single process, unlike full Sentry (16GB+ RAM)
+- **Error correlation**: Request IDs allow correlation between frontend errors and backend logs
+
+### Negative
+
+- **Additional services**: Bugsink and Logstash add complexity to the container
+- **PostgreSQL overhead**: Additional database for error tracking
+- **Initial setup**: Requires configuration of multiple components
+- **Logstash learning curve**: Pipeline configuration requires Logstash knowledge
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+1. **Full Sentry self-hosted**: Rejected due to complexity (Kafka, Redis, ClickHouse, 16GB+ RAM minimum)
+2. **GlitchTip**: Considered, but Bugsink is lighter weight and easier to deploy
+3. **Sentry SaaS**: Rejected due to self-hosted requirement
+4. **Custom error aggregation**: Rejected in favor of proven Sentry SDK ecosystem

+# ADR-030: PostgreSQL Function Observability
+
+**Date**: 2026-02-10
+
+**Status**: Accepted
+
+**Source**: Imported from flyer-crawler project (ADR-050)
+
+**Related**: [ADR-029](ADR-029-error-tracking-with-bugsink.md), [ADR-027](ADR-027-application-wide-structured-logging.md)
+
+## Context
+
+Applications often use PostgreSQL functions and triggers for business logic, including:
+
+- Data transformations and validations
+- Complex query encapsulation
+- Trigger-based side effects
+- Audit logging
+
+**Current Problem**: These database functions can fail silently in several ways:
+
+1. **`ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING`** - Swallows constraint violations without notification
+2. **`IF NOT FOUND THEN RETURN;`** - Silently exits when data is missing
+3. **Trigger functions returning `NULL`** - No indication of partial failures
+4. **No logging inside functions** - No visibility into function execution
+
+When these silent failures occur:
+
+- The application layer receives no error (function "succeeds" but does nothing)
+- No logs are generated for debugging
+- Issues are only discovered when users report missing data
+- Root cause analysis is extremely difficult
+
+**Example of Silent Failure**:
+
+```sql
+-- This function silently does nothing if record doesn't exist
+CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.process_item(p_user_id UUID, p_item_name TEXT)
+RETURNS void AS $$
+BEGIN
+    SELECT item_id INTO v_item_id FROM items WHERE name = p_item_name;
+    IF v_item_id IS NULL THEN
+        RETURN;  -- Silent failure - no log, no error
+    END IF;
+    -- ...
+END;
+$$;
+```
+
+ADR-029 established Logstash + Bugsink for error tracking, with PostgreSQL log integration. This ADR defines the implementation.
+
+## Decision
+
+We will implement a standardized PostgreSQL function observability strategy with three tiers of logging severity.
+
+### 1. Function Logging Helper
+
+Create a reusable logging function that outputs structured JSON to PostgreSQL logs:
+
+```sql
+-- Function to emit structured log messages from PL/pgSQL
+CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.fn_log(
+    p_level TEXT,           -- 'DEBUG', 'INFO', 'NOTICE', 'WARNING', 'ERROR'
+    p_function_name TEXT,   -- The calling function name
+    p_message TEXT,         -- Human-readable message
+    p_context JSONB DEFAULT NULL  -- Additional context (user_id, params, etc.)
+)
+RETURNS void
+LANGUAGE plpgsql
+AS $$
+DECLARE
+    log_line TEXT;
+BEGIN
+    -- Build structured JSON log line
+    log_line := jsonb_build_object(
+        'timestamp', now(),
+        'level', p_level,
+        'source', 'postgresql',
+        'function', p_function_name,
+        'message', p_message,
+        'context', COALESCE(p_context, '{}'::jsonb)
+    )::text;
+
+    -- Use appropriate RAISE level
+    CASE p_level
+        WHEN 'DEBUG' THEN RAISE DEBUG '%', log_line;
+        WHEN 'INFO' THEN RAISE INFO '%', log_line;
+        WHEN 'NOTICE' THEN RAISE NOTICE '%', log_line;
+        WHEN 'WARNING' THEN RAISE WARNING '%', log_line;
+        WHEN 'ERROR' THEN RAISE LOG '%', log_line;  -- Use LOG for errors to ensure capture
+        ELSE RAISE NOTICE '%', log_line;
+    END CASE;
+END;
+$$;
+```
+
+### 2. Logging Tiers
+
+#### Tier 1: Critical Functions (Always Log)
+
+Functions where silent failure causes data corruption or user-facing issues:
+
+| Function Type                | Log Events                              |
+| ---------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
+| User creation/management     | User creation, profile creation, errors |
+| Permission/role changes      | Role not found, permission denied       |
+| Financial transactions       | Transaction not found, balance issues   |
+| Data approval workflows      | Record not found, permission denied     |
+| Critical business operations | Items added, operations completed       |
+
+**Pattern**:
+
+```sql
+CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.process_critical_operation(p_user_id UUID, p_operation_name TEXT)
+RETURNS void AS $$
+DECLARE
+    v_operation_id BIGINT;
+    v_context JSONB;
+BEGIN
+    v_context := jsonb_build_object('user_id', p_user_id, 'operation_name', p_operation_name);
+
+    SELECT operation_id INTO v_operation_id
+    FROM public.operations WHERE name = p_operation_name;
+
+    IF v_operation_id IS NULL THEN
+        -- Log the issue instead of silent return
+        PERFORM fn_log('WARNING', 'process_critical_operation',
+            'Operation not found: ' || p_operation_name, v_context);
+        RETURN;
+    END IF;
+
+    -- Perform operation
+    INSERT INTO public.user_operations (user_id, operation_id)
+    VALUES (p_user_id, v_operation_id)
+    ON CONFLICT (user_id, operation_id) DO NOTHING;
+
+    IF FOUND THEN
+        PERFORM fn_log('INFO', 'process_critical_operation',
+            'Operation completed: ' || p_operation_name, v_context);
+    END IF;
+END;
+$$;
+```
+
+#### Tier 2: Business Logic Functions (Log on Anomalies)
+
+Functions where unexpected conditions should be logged but are not critical:
+
+| Function Type               | Log Events                       |
+| --------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
+| Search/suggestion functions | No match found (below threshold) |
+| Recommendation engines      | No recommendations generated     |
+| Data lookup functions       | Empty results, no matches found  |
+| Price/analytics queries     | No data available, stale data    |
+
+**Pattern**: Log when results are unexpectedly empty or inputs are invalid.
+
+#### Tier 3: Triggers (Log Errors Only)
+
+Triggers should be fast, so only log when something goes wrong:
+
+| Trigger Type          | Log Events                   |
+| --------------------- | ---------------------------- |
+| Audit triggers        | Failed to update audit trail |
+| Aggregation triggers  | Calculation failed           |
+| Cascade triggers      | Related record lookup failed |
+| Notification triggers | External service call failed |
+
+### 3. PostgreSQL Configuration
+
+Enable logging in `postgresql.conf`:
+
+```ini
+# Log all function notices and above
+log_min_messages = notice
+
+# Include function name in log prefix
+log_line_prefix = '%t [%p] %u@%d '
+
+# Log to file for Logstash pickup
+logging_collector = on
+log_directory = '/var/log/postgresql'
+log_filename = 'postgresql-%Y-%m-%d.log'
+log_rotation_age = 1d
+log_rotation_size = 100MB
+
+# Capture slow queries from functions
+log_min_duration_statement = 1000  # Log queries over 1 second
+```
+
+### 4. Logstash Integration
+
+Update the Logstash pipeline (extends ADR-029 configuration):
+
+```conf
+# PostgreSQL function log input
+input {
+  file {
+    path => "/var/log/postgresql/*.log"
+    type => "postgres"
+    tags => ["postgres"]
+    start_position => "beginning"
+    sincedb_path => "/var/lib/logstash/sincedb_postgres"
+  }
+}
+
+filter {
+  if [type] == "postgres" {
+    # Extract timestamp and process ID from PostgreSQL log prefix
+    grok {
+      match => { "message" => "%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:pg_timestamp} \[%{POSINT:pg_pid}\] %{USER:pg_user}@%{WORD:pg_database} %{GREEDYDATA:pg_message}" }
+    }
+
+    # Check if this is a structured JSON log from fn_log()
+    if [pg_message] =~ /^\{.*"source":"postgresql".*\}$/ {
+      json {
+        source => "pg_message"
+        target => "fn_log"
+      }
+
+      # Mark as error if level is WARNING or ERROR
+      if [fn_log][level] in ["WARNING", "ERROR"] {
+        mutate { add_tag => ["error", "db_function"] }
+      }
+    }
+
+    # Also catch native PostgreSQL errors
+    if [pg_message] =~ /^ERROR:/ or [pg_message] =~ /^FATAL:/ {
+      mutate { add_tag => ["error", "postgres_native"] }
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+output {
+  if "error" in [tags] and "postgres" in [tags] {
+    http {
+      url => "http://localhost:8000/api/store/"
+      http_method => "post"
+      format => "json"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Dual-File Update Requirement
+
+**IMPORTANT**: All SQL function changes must be applied to BOTH files:
+
+1. `sql/Initial_triggers_and_functions.sql` - Used for incremental updates
+2. `sql/master_schema_rollup.sql` - Used for fresh database setup
+
+Both files must remain in sync for triggers and functions.
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+1. **Create `fn_log()` helper function**:
+   - Add to both SQL files
+   - Test with `SELECT fn_log('INFO', 'test', 'Test message', '{"key": "value"}'::jsonb);`
+
+2. **Update Tier 1 critical functions** (highest priority):
+   - Identify functions with silent failures
+   - Add appropriate logging calls
+   - Test error paths
+
+3. **Update Tier 2 business logic functions**:
+   - Add anomaly logging to suggestion/recommendation functions
+   - Log empty result sets with context
+
+4. **Update Tier 3 trigger functions**:
+   - Add error-only logging to critical triggers
+   - Wrap complex trigger logic in exception handlers
+
+5. **Configure PostgreSQL logging**:
+   - Update `postgresql.conf` in dev container
+   - Update production PostgreSQL configuration
+   - Verify logs appear in expected location
+
+6. **Update Logstash pipeline**:
+   - Add PostgreSQL input to Logstash config
+   - Add filter rules for structured JSON extraction
+   - Test end-to-end: function log -> Logstash -> Bugsink
+
+7. **Verify in Bugsink**:
+   - Confirm database function errors appear as issues
+   - Verify context (user_id, function name, params) is captured
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- **Visibility**: Silent failures become visible in error tracking
+- **Debugging**: Function execution context captured for root cause analysis
+- **Proactive detection**: Anomalies logged before users report issues
+- **Unified monitoring**: Database errors appear alongside application errors in Bugsink
+- **Structured logs**: JSON format enables filtering and aggregation
+
+### Negative
+
+- **Performance overhead**: Logging adds latency to function execution
+- **Log volume**: Tier 1/2 functions may generate significant log volume
+- **Maintenance**: Two SQL files must be kept in sync
+- **PostgreSQL configuration**: Requires access to `postgresql.conf`
+
+### Mitigations
+
+- **Performance**: Only log meaningful events, not every function call
+- **Log volume**: Use appropriate log levels; Logstash filters reduce noise
+- **Sync**: Add CI check to verify SQL files match for function definitions
+- **Configuration**: Document PostgreSQL settings in deployment runbook
+
+## Examples
+
+### Before (Silent Failure)
+
+```sql
+-- User thinks operation completed, but it silently failed
+SELECT process_item('user-uuid', 'Nonexistent Item');
+-- Returns: void (no error, no log)
+-- Result: User never gets expected result, nobody knows why
+```
+
+### After (Observable Failure)
+
+```sql
+SELECT process_item('user-uuid', 'Nonexistent Item');
+-- Returns: void
+-- PostgreSQL log: {"timestamp":"2026-01-11T10:30:00Z","level":"WARNING","source":"postgresql","function":"process_item","message":"Item not found: Nonexistent Item","context":{"user_id":"user-uuid","item_name":"Nonexistent Item"}}
+-- Bugsink: New issue created with full context
+```

+# ADR-031: Granular Debug Logging Strategy
+
+**Date**: 2026-02-10
+
+**Status**: Accepted
+
+**Source**: Imported from flyer-crawler project (ADR-052)
+
+**Related**: [ADR-027](ADR-027-application-wide-structured-logging.md), [ADR-017](ADR-017-structured-logging-with-pino.md)
+
+## Context
+
+Global log levels (INFO vs DEBUG) are too coarse. Developers need to inspect detailed debug information for specific subsystems (e.g., `ai-service`, `db-pool`, `auth-service`) without being flooded by logs from the entire application.
+
+When debugging a specific feature:
+
+- Setting `LOG_LEVEL=debug` globally produces too much noise
+- Manually adding/removing debug statements is error-prone
+- No standard way to enable targeted debugging in production
+
+## Decision
+
+We will adopt a namespace-based debug filter pattern, similar to the `debug` npm package, but integrated into our Pino logger.
+
+1. **Logger Namespaces**: Every service/module logger must be initialized with a `module` property (e.g., `logger.child({ module: 'ai-service' })`).
+2. **Environment Filter**: We will support a `DEBUG_MODULES` environment variable that overrides the log level for matching modules.
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Core Implementation
+
+Implemented in `src/services/logger.server.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import pino from 'pino';
+
+// Parse DEBUG_MODULES from environment
+const debugModules = (process.env.DEBUG_MODULES || '').split(',').map((s) => s.trim());
+
+// Base logger configuration
+export const logger = pino({
+  level: process.env.LOG_LEVEL || (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? 'info' : 'debug'),
+  // ... other configuration
+});
+
+/**
+ * Creates a scoped logger for a specific module.
+ * If DEBUG_MODULES includes this module or '*', debug level is enabled.
+ */
+export const createScopedLogger = (moduleName: string) => {
+  // If DEBUG_MODULES contains the module name or "*", force level to 'debug'
+  const isDebugEnabled = debugModules.includes('*') || debugModules.includes(moduleName);
+
+  return logger.child({
+    module: moduleName,
+    level: isDebugEnabled ? 'debug' : logger.level,
+  });
+};
+```
+
+### Service Usage Examples
+
+```typescript
+// src/services/aiService.server.ts
+import { createScopedLogger } from './logger.server';
+
+const logger = createScopedLogger('ai-service');
+
+export async function processWithAI(data: unknown) {
+  logger.debug({ data }, 'Starting AI processing');
+  // ... implementation
+  logger.info({ result }, 'AI processing completed');
+}
+```
+
+```typescript
+// src/services/authService.server.ts
+import { createScopedLogger } from './logger.server';
+
+const logger = createScopedLogger('auth-service');
+
+export async function validateToken(token: string) {
+  logger.debug({ tokenLength: token.length }, 'Validating token');
+  // ... implementation
+}
+```
+
+### Module Naming Convention
+
+Use kebab-case suffixed with `-service` or `-worker`:
+
+| Module Name     | Purpose                          | File                                  |
+| --------------- | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
+| `ai-service`    | AI/external API interactions     | `src/services/aiService.server.ts`    |
+| `auth-service`  | Authentication and authorization | `src/services/authService.server.ts`  |
+| `db-pool`       | Database connection pooling      | `src/services/database.server.ts`     |
+| `cache-service` | Redis/caching operations         | `src/services/cacheService.server.ts` |
+| `queue-worker`  | Background job processing        | `src/workers/queueWorker.ts`          |
+| `email-service` | Email sending                    | `src/services/emailService.server.ts` |
+
+## Usage
+
+### Enable Debug Logging for Specific Modules
+
+To debug only AI and authentication:
+
+```bash
+DEBUG_MODULES=ai-service,auth-service npm run dev
+```
+
+### Enable All Debug Logging
+
+Use wildcard to enable debug logging for all modules:
+
+```bash
+DEBUG_MODULES=* npm run dev
+```
+
+### Development Environment
+
+In `.env.development`:
+
+```bash
+# Enable debug logging for specific modules during development
+DEBUG_MODULES=ai-service
+```
+
+### Production Troubleshooting
+
+Temporarily enable debug logging for a specific subsystem:
+
+```bash
+# SSH into production server
+ssh root@example.com
+
+# Set environment variable and restart
+DEBUG_MODULES=ai-service pm2 restart app-api
+
+# View logs
+pm2 logs app-api --lines 100
+
+# Disable debug logging
+pm2 unset DEBUG_MODULES app-api
+pm2 restart app-api
+```
+
+### With PM2 Configuration
+
+In `ecosystem.config.js`:
+
+```javascript
+module.exports = {
+  apps: [
+    {
+      name: 'app-api',
+      script: 'dist/server.js',
+      env: {
+        NODE_ENV: 'production',
+        // DEBUG_MODULES is unset by default
+      },
+      env_debug: {
+        NODE_ENV: 'production',
+        DEBUG_MODULES: 'ai-service,auth-service',
+      },
+    },
+  ],
+};
+```
+
+Start with debug logging:
+
+```bash
+pm2 start ecosystem.config.js --env debug
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Use Scoped Loggers for Long-Running Services
+
+Services with complex workflows or external API calls should use `createScopedLogger` to allow targeted debugging:
+
+```typescript
+const logger = createScopedLogger('payment-service');
+
+export async function processPayment(payment: Payment) {
+  logger.debug({ paymentId: payment.id }, 'Starting payment processing');
+
+  try {
+    const result = await externalPaymentAPI.process(payment);
+    logger.debug({ result }, 'External API response');
+    return result;
+  } catch (error) {
+    logger.error({ error, paymentId: payment.id }, 'Payment processing failed');
+    throw error;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Use Child Loggers for Contextual Data
+
+Even within scoped loggers, create child loggers with job/request-specific context:
+
+```typescript
+const logger = createScopedLogger('queue-worker');
+
+async function processJob(job: Job) {
+  const jobLogger = logger.child({ jobId: job.id, jobName: job.name });
+
+  jobLogger.debug('Starting job processing');
+  // ... processing
+  jobLogger.info('Job completed successfully');
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Consistent Debug Message Patterns
+
+Use consistent patterns for debug messages:
+
+```typescript
+// Function entry
+logger.debug({ params: sanitizedParams }, 'Function entry: processOrder');
+
+// External API calls
+logger.debug({ url, method }, 'External API request');
+logger.debug({ statusCode, duration }, 'External API response');
+
+// State changes
+logger.debug({ before, after }, 'State transition');
+
+// Decision points
+logger.debug({ condition, result }, 'Branch decision');
+```
+
+### 4. Production Usage Guidelines
+
+- `DEBUG_MODULES` can be set in production for temporary debugging
+- Should not be used continuously due to increased log volume
+- Always unset after troubleshooting is complete
+- Monitor log storage when debug logging is enabled
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- Developers can inspect detailed logs for specific subsystems without log flooding
+- Production debugging becomes more targeted and efficient
+- No performance impact when debug logging is disabled
+- Compatible with existing Pino logging infrastructure
+- Follows familiar pattern from `debug` npm package
+
+### Negative
+
+- Requires developers to know module names (mitigated by documentation)
+- Not all services have adopted scoped loggers yet (gradual migration)
+- Additional configuration complexity

+# ADR-032: Application Performance Monitoring (APM)
+
+**Date**: 2026-02-10
+
+**Status**: Proposed
+
+**Source**: Imported from flyer-crawler project (ADR-056)
+
+**Related**: [ADR-029](ADR-029-error-tracking-with-bugsink.md) (Error Tracking with Bugsink)
+
+## Context
+
+Application Performance Monitoring (APM) provides visibility into application behavior through:
+
+- **Distributed Tracing**: Track requests across services, queues, and database calls
+- **Performance Metrics**: Response times, throughput, error rates
+- **Resource Monitoring**: Memory usage, CPU, database connections
+- **Transaction Analysis**: Identify slow endpoints and bottlenecks
+
+While ADR-029 covers error tracking and observability, APM is a distinct concern focused on performance rather than errors. The Sentry SDK supports APM through its tracing features, but this capability is currently **intentionally disabled** in our application.
+
+### Current State
+
+The Sentry SDK is installed and configured for error tracking (see ADR-029), but APM features are disabled:
+
+```typescript
+// src/services/sentry.client.ts
+Sentry.init({
+  dsn: config.sentry.dsn,
+  environment: config.sentry.environment,
+  // Performance monitoring - disabled for now to keep it simple
+  tracesSampleRate: 0,
+  // ...
+});
+```
+
+```typescript
+// src/services/sentry.server.ts
+Sentry.init({
+  dsn: config.sentry.dsn,
+  environment: config.sentry.environment || config.server.nodeEnv,
+  // Performance monitoring - disabled for now to keep it simple
+  tracesSampleRate: 0,
+  // ...
+});
+```
+
+### Why APM is Currently Disabled
+
+1. **Complexity**: APM adds overhead and complexity to debugging
+2. **Bugsink Limitations**: Bugsink's APM support is less mature than its error tracking
+3. **Resource Overhead**: Tracing adds memory and CPU overhead
+4. **Focus**: Error tracking provides more immediate value for our current scale
+5. **Cost**: High sample rates can significantly increase storage requirements
+
+## Decision
+
+We propose a **staged approach** to APM implementation:
+
+### Phase 1: Selective Backend Tracing (Low Priority)
+
+Enable tracing for specific high-value operations:
+
+```typescript
+// Enable tracing for specific transactions only
+Sentry.init({
+  dsn: config.sentry.dsn,
+  tracesSampleRate: 0, // Keep default at 0
+
+  // Trace only specific high-value transactions
+  tracesSampler: (samplingContext) => {
+    const transactionName = samplingContext.transactionContext?.name;
+
+    // Always trace long-running jobs
+    if (transactionName?.includes('job-processing')) {
+      return 0.1; // 10% sample rate
+    }
+
+    // Always trace AI/external API calls
+    if (transactionName?.includes('external-api')) {
+      return 0.5; // 50% sample rate
+    }
+
+    // Trace slow endpoints (determined by custom logic)
+    if (samplingContext.parentSampled) {
+      return 0.1; // 10% for child transactions
+    }
+
+    return 0; // Don't trace other transactions
+  },
+});
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Custom Performance Metrics
+
+Add custom metrics without full tracing overhead:
+
+```typescript
+// Custom metric for slow database queries
+import { metrics } from '@sentry/node';
+
+// In repository methods
+const startTime = performance.now();
+const result = await pool.query(sql, params);
+const duration = performance.now() - startTime;
+
+metrics.distribution('db.query.duration', duration, {
+  tags: { query_type: 'select', table: 'users' },
+});
+
+if (duration > 1000) {
+  logger.warn({ duration, sql }, 'Slow query detected');
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Full APM Integration (Future)
+
+When/if full APM is needed:
+
+```typescript
+Sentry.init({
+  dsn: config.sentry.dsn,
+  tracesSampleRate: 0.1, // 10% of transactions
+  profilesSampleRate: 0.1, // 10% of traced transactions get profiled
+
+  integrations: [
+    // Database tracing
+    Sentry.postgresIntegration(),
+    // Redis tracing
+    Sentry.redisIntegration(),
+    // BullMQ job tracing (custom integration)
+  ],
+});
+```
+
+## Implementation Steps
+
+### To Enable Basic APM
+
+1. **Update Sentry Configuration**:
+   - Set `tracesSampleRate` > 0 in `src/services/sentry.server.ts`
+   - Set `tracesSampleRate` > 0 in `src/services/sentry.client.ts`
+   - Add environment variable `SENTRY_TRACES_SAMPLE_RATE` (default: 0)
+
+2. **Add Instrumentation**:
+   - Enable automatic Express instrumentation
+   - Add manual spans for BullMQ job processing
+   - Add database query instrumentation
+
+3. **Frontend Tracing**:
+   - Add Browser Tracing integration
+   - Configure page load and navigation tracing
+
+4. **Environment Variables**:
+
+   ```bash
+   SENTRY_TRACES_SAMPLE_RATE=0.1  # 10% sampling
+   SENTRY_PROFILES_SAMPLE_RATE=0  # Profiling disabled
+   ```
+
+5. **Bugsink Configuration**:
+   - Verify Bugsink supports performance data ingestion
+   - Configure retention policies for performance data
+
+### Configuration Changes Required
+
+```typescript
+// src/config/env.ts - Add new config
+sentry: {
+  dsn: env.SENTRY_DSN,
+  environment: env.SENTRY_ENVIRONMENT,
+  debug: env.SENTRY_DEBUG === 'true',
+  tracesSampleRate: parseFloat(env.SENTRY_TRACES_SAMPLE_RATE || '0'),
+  profilesSampleRate: parseFloat(env.SENTRY_PROFILES_SAMPLE_RATE || '0'),
+},
+```
+
+```typescript
+// src/services/sentry.server.ts - Updated init
+Sentry.init({
+  dsn: config.sentry.dsn,
+  environment: config.sentry.environment,
+  tracesSampleRate: config.sentry.tracesSampleRate,
+  profilesSampleRate: config.sentry.profilesSampleRate,
+  // ... rest of config
+});
+```
+
+## Trade-offs
+
+### Enabling APM
+
+**Benefits**:
+
+- Identify performance bottlenecks
+- Track distributed transactions across services
+- Profile slow endpoints
+- Monitor resource utilization trends
+
+**Costs**:
+
+- Increased memory usage (~5-15% overhead)
+- Additional CPU for trace processing
+- Increased storage in Bugsink/Sentry
+- More complex debugging (noise in traces)
+- Potential latency from tracing overhead
+
+### Keeping APM Disabled
+
+**Benefits**:
+
+- Simpler operation and debugging
+- Lower resource overhead
+- Focused on error tracking (higher priority)
+- No additional storage costs
+
+**Costs**:
+
+- No automated performance insights
+- Manual profiling required for bottleneck detection
+- Limited visibility into slow transactions
+
+## Alternatives Considered
+
+1. **OpenTelemetry**: More vendor-neutral, but adds another dependency and complexity
+2. **Prometheus + Grafana**: Good for metrics, but doesn't provide distributed tracing
+3. **Jaeger/Zipkin**: Purpose-built for tracing, but requires additional infrastructure
+4. **New Relic/Datadog SaaS**: Full-featured but conflicts with self-hosted requirement
+
+## Current Recommendation
+
+**Keep APM disabled** (`tracesSampleRate: 0`) until:
+
+1. Specific performance issues are identified that require tracing
+2. Bugsink's APM support is verified and tested
+3. Infrastructure can support the additional overhead
+4. There is a clear business need for performance visibility
+
+When enabling APM becomes necessary, start with Phase 1 (selective tracing) to minimize overhead while gaining targeted insights.
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive (When Implemented)
+
+- Automated identification of slow endpoints
+- Distributed trace visualization across async operations
+- Correlation between errors and performance issues
+- Proactive alerting on performance degradation
+
+### Negative
+
+- Additional infrastructure complexity
+- Storage overhead for trace data
+- Potential performance impact from tracing itself
+- Learning curve for trace analysis

+# ADR-033: Bugsink to Gitea Issue Synchronization
+
+**Date**: 2026-02-10
+
+**Status**: Proposed
+
+**Source**: Imported from flyer-crawler project (ADR-054)
+
+**Related**: [ADR-029](ADR-029-error-tracking-with-bugsink.md), [ADR-012](ADR-012-bullmq-background-job-processing.md)
+
+## Context
+
+The application uses Bugsink (Sentry-compatible self-hosted error tracking) to capture runtime errors across multiple projects:
+
+| Project Type   | Environment  | Description                              |
+| -------------- | ------------ | ---------------------------------------- |
+| Backend        | Production   | Main API server errors                   |
+| Backend        | Test/Staging | Pre-production API errors                |
+| Frontend       | Production   | Client-side JavaScript errors            |
+| Frontend       | Test/Staging | Pre-production frontend errors           |
+| Infrastructure | Production   | Infrastructure-level errors (Redis, PM2) |
+| Infrastructure | Test/Staging | Pre-production infrastructure errors     |
+
+Currently, errors remain in Bugsink until manually reviewed. There is no automated workflow to:
+
+1. Create trackable tickets for errors
+2. Assign errors to developers
+3. Track resolution progress
+4. Prevent errors from being forgotten
+
+## Decision
+
+Implement an automated background worker that synchronizes unresolved Bugsink issues to Gitea as trackable tickets. The sync worker will:
+
+1. **Run only on the test/staging server** (not production, not dev container)
+2. **Poll all Bugsink projects** for unresolved issues
+3. **Create Gitea issues** with full error context
+4. **Mark synced issues as resolved** in Bugsink (to prevent re-polling)
+5. **Track sync state in Redis** to ensure idempotency
+
+### Why Test/Staging Only?
+
+- The sync worker is a background service that needs API tokens for both Bugsink and Gitea
+- Running on test/staging provides a single sync point without duplicating infrastructure
+- All Bugsink projects (including production) are synced from this one worker
+- Production server stays focused on serving users, not running sync jobs
+

+
+**Bugsink Issue**: {bugsink_url}
+**Project**: {project_slug}
+**Trace ID**: {trace_id}
+```
+
+### Sync Workflow
+
+```
+1. Worker triggered (every 15 min or manual)
+2. For each Bugsink project:
+   a. List issues with status='unresolved'
+   b. For each issue:
+      i.   Check Redis for existing sync record
+      ii.  If already synced -> skip
+      iii. Fetch issue details + stacktrace
+      iv.  Create Gitea issue with labels
+      v.   Store sync record in Redis
+      vi.  Mark issue as 'resolved' in Bugsink
+3. Log summary (synced: N, skipped: N, failed: N)
+```
+
+### Idempotency Guarantees
+
+1. **Redis check before creation**: Prevents duplicate Gitea issues
+2. **Atomic Redis write after Gitea create**: Ensures state consistency
+3. **Query only unresolved issues**: Resolved issues won't appear in polls
+4. **No TTL on Redis keys**: Permanent sync history
+
+## Admin Interface
+
+### Manual Sync Endpoint
+
+```
+POST /api/admin/bugsink/sync
+Authorization: Bearer {admin_jwt}
+
+Response:
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "data": {
+    "synced": 3,
+    "skipped": 12,
+    "failed": 0,
+    "duration_ms": 2340
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Sync Status Endpoint
+
+```
+GET /api/admin/bugsink/sync/status
+Authorization: Bearer {admin_jwt}
+
+Response:
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "data": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "last_run": "2026-01-17T10:30:00Z",
+    "next_run": "2026-01-17T10:45:00Z",
+    "total_synced": 47,
+    "projects": [
+      { "slug": "backend-prod", "synced_count": 12 },
+      ...
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Implementation Phases
+
+### Phase 1: Core Infrastructure
+
+- Add environment variables to `env.ts` schema
+- Create `BugsinkClient` service (HTTP client)
+- Create `GiteaClient` service (HTTP client)
+- Add Redis db 15 connection for sync tracking
+
+### Phase 2: Sync Logic
+
+- Create `BugsinkSyncService` with sync logic
+- Add `bugsink-sync` queue to `queues.server.ts`
+- Add sync worker to `workers.server.ts`
+- Create TypeScript types for API responses
+
+### Phase 3: Integration
+
+- Add admin endpoints for manual sync trigger
+- Update CI/CD with new secrets
+- Add secrets to repository settings
+- Test end-to-end in staging environment
+
+### Phase 4: Documentation
+
+- Update CLAUDE.md with sync information
+- Create operational runbook for sync issues
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+1. **Visibility**: All application errors become trackable tickets
+2. **Accountability**: Errors can be assigned to developers
+3. **History**: Complete audit trail of when errors were discovered and resolved
+4. **Integration**: Errors appear alongside feature work in Gitea
+5. **Automation**: No manual error triage required
+
+### Negative
+
+1. **API Dependencies**: Requires both Bugsink and Gitea APIs to be available
+2. **Token Management**: Additional secrets to manage in CI/CD
+3. **Potential Noise**: High-frequency errors could create many tickets (mitigated by Bugsink's issue grouping)
+4. **Single Point**: Sync only runs on test server (if test server is down, no sync occurs)
+
+### Risks and Mitigations
+
+| Risk                    | Mitigation                                        |
+| ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
+| Bugsink API rate limits | 15-minute polling interval                        |
+| Gitea API rate limits   | Sequential processing with delays                 |
+| Redis connection issues | Reuse existing connection patterns                |
+| Duplicate issues        | Redis tracking + idempotent checks                |
+| Missing stacktrace      | Graceful degradation (create issue without trace) |
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+1. **Bi-directional sync**: Update Bugsink when Gitea issue is closed
+2. **Smart deduplication**: Detect similar errors across projects
+3. **Priority mapping**: High occurrence count -> high priority label
+4. **Slack/Discord notifications**: Alert on new critical errors
+5. **Metrics dashboard**: Track error trends over time

+
+**ADR**: [ADR-018](../adr/0018-api-documentation-strategy.md), [ADR-059](../adr/0059-dependency-modernization.md)
+
+All API endpoints are implemented as tsoa controller classes that extend `BaseController`. This pattern provides type-safe OpenAPI documentation generation and standardized response formatting.
+
+### Basic Controller Structure
+
+```typescript
+import {
+  Route,
+  Tags,
+  Get,
+  Post,
+  Body,
+  Path,
+  Query,
+  Security,
+  SuccessResponse,
+  Response,
+} from 'tsoa';
+import type { Request as ExpressRequest } from 'express';
+import {
+  BaseController,
+  SuccessResponse as SuccessResponseType,
+  ErrorResponse,
+} from './base.controller';
+
+interface CreateItemRequest {
+  name: string;
+  description?: string;
+}
+
+interface ItemResponse {
+  id: number;
+  name: string;
+  created_at: string;
+}
+
+@Route('items')
+@Tags('Items')
+export class ItemController extends BaseController {
+  /**
+   * Get an item by ID.
+   * @summary Get item
+   * @param id Item ID
+   */
+  @Get('{id}')
+  @SuccessResponse(200, 'Item retrieved')
+  @Response<ErrorResponse>(404, 'Item not found')
+  public async getItem(@Path() id: number): Promise<SuccessResponseType<ItemResponse>> {
+    const item = await itemService.getItemById(id);
+    return this.success(item);
+  }
+
+  /**
+   * Create a new item. Requires authentication.
+   * @summary Create item
+   */
+  @Post()
+  @Security('bearerAuth')
+  @SuccessResponse(201, 'Item created')
+  @Response<ErrorResponse>(401, 'Not authenticated')
+  public async createItem(
+    @Body() body: CreateItemRequest,
+    @Request() request: ExpressRequest,
+  ): Promise<SuccessResponseType<ItemResponse>> {
+    const user = request.user as UserProfile;
+    const item = await itemService.createItem(body, user.user.user_id);
+    return this.created(item);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### BaseController Response Helpers
+
+```typescript
+// Success response (200)
+return this.success(data);
+
+// Created response (201)
+return this.created(data);
+
+// Paginated response
+const { page, limit } = this.normalizePagination(queryPage, queryLimit);
+return this.paginated(items, { page, limit, total });
+
+// Message-only response
+return this.message('Operation completed');
+
+// No content (204)
+return this.noContent();
+```
+
+### Authentication with @Security
+
+```typescript
+import { Security, Request } from 'tsoa';
+import { requireAdminRole } from '../middleware/tsoaAuthentication';
+
+// Require authentication
+@Get('profile')
+@Security('bearerAuth')
+public async getProfile(@Request() req: ExpressRequest): Promise<...> {
+  const user = req.user as UserProfile;
+  return this.success(user);
+}
+
+// Require admin role
+@Delete('users/{id}')
+@Security('bearerAuth')
+public async deleteUser(@Path() id: string, @Request() req: ExpressRequest): Promise<void> {
+  requireAdminRole(req.user as UserProfile);
+  await userService.deleteUser(id);
+  return this.noContent();
+}
+```
+
+### Error Handling in Controllers
+
+```typescript
+import { NotFoundError, ValidationError, ForbiddenError } from './base.controller';
+
+// Throw errors - they're handled by the global error handler
+throw new NotFoundError('Item', id); // 404
+throw new ValidationError([], 'Invalid'); // 400
+throw new ForbiddenError('Admin only'); // 403
+```
+
+### Rate Limiting
+
+```typescript
+import { Middlewares } from 'tsoa';
+import { loginLimiter } from '../config/rateLimiters';
+
+@Post('login')
+@Middlewares(loginLimiter)
+@Response<ErrorResponse>(429, 'Too many attempts')
+public async login(@Body() body: LoginRequest): Promise<...> { ... }
+```
+
+### Regenerating Routes
+
+After modifying controllers, regenerate the tsoa routes:
+
+```bash
+npm run tsoa:spec && npm run tsoa:routes
+```

+## Overview
+
+### What Changed
+
+| Before (swagger-jsdoc)                   | After (tsoa)                                |
+| ---------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
+| JSDoc `@openapi` comments in route files | TypeScript decorators on controller classes |
+| Manual Express route registration        | tsoa generates routes automatically         |
+| Separate Zod validation middleware       | tsoa validates from TypeScript types        |
+| OpenAPI spec from comments               | OpenAPI spec from decorators and types      |
+
+### Why tsoa?
+
+1. **Type Safety**: OpenAPI spec is generated from TypeScript types, eliminating drift
+2. **Active Maintenance**: tsoa is actively maintained (vs. unmaintained swagger-jsdoc)
+3. **Reduced Duplication**: No more parallel JSDoc + TypeScript definitions
+4. **Route Generation**: tsoa generates Express routes, reducing boilerplate
+
+### Key Files
+
+| File                                   | Purpose                                 |
+| -------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
+| `tsoa.json`                            | tsoa configuration                      |
+| `src/controllers/base.controller.ts`   | Base controller with response utilities |
+| `src/controllers/types.ts`             | Shared controller type definitions      |
+| `src/controllers/*.controller.ts`      | Domain controllers                      |
+| `src/dtos/common.dto.ts`               | Shared DTO definitions                  |
+| `src/middleware/tsoaAuthentication.ts` | JWT authentication handler              |
+| `src/routes/tsoa-generated.ts`         | Generated Express routes                |
+| `src/config/tsoa-spec.json`            | Generated OpenAPI 3.0 spec              |
+
+## Architecture

+
+### Controller Structure
+
+```
+src/controllers/
+  base.controller.ts      # Base class with response helpers
+  types.ts                 # Shared type definitions
+  health.controller.ts     # Health check endpoints
+  auth.controller.ts       # Authentication endpoints
+  user.controller.ts       # User management endpoints
+  ...
+```
+
+## Creating a New Controller
+
+### Step 1: Create the Controller File
+
+```typescript
+// src/controllers/example.controller.ts
+import {
+  Route,
+  Tags,
+  Get,
+  Post,
+  Put,
+  Delete,
+  Body,
+  Path,
+  Query,
+  Request,
+  Security,
+  SuccessResponse,
+  Response,
+  Middlewares,
+} from 'tsoa';
+import type { Request as ExpressRequest } from 'express';
+import {
+  BaseController,
+  SuccessResponse as SuccessResponseType,
+  ErrorResponse,
+  PaginatedResponse,
+} from './base.controller';
+import type { UserProfile } from '../types';
+
+// ============================================================================
+// REQUEST/RESPONSE TYPES
+// ============================================================================
+
+interface CreateExampleRequest {
+  /**
+   * Name of the example item.
+   * @minLength 1
+   * @maxLength 255
+   * @example "My Example"
+   */
+  name: string;
+
+  /**
+   * Optional description.
+   * @example "This is an example item"
+   */
+  description?: string;
+}
+
+interface ExampleResponse {
+  id: number;
+  name: string;
+  description?: string;
+  created_at: string;
+}
+
+// ============================================================================
+// CONTROLLER
+// ============================================================================
+
+/**
+ * Example controller demonstrating tsoa patterns.
+ */
+@Route('examples')
+@Tags('Examples')
+export class ExampleController extends BaseController {
+  /**
+   * List all examples with pagination.
+   * @summary List examples
+   * @param page Page number (1-indexed)
+   * @param limit Items per page (max 100)
+   * @returns Paginated list of examples
+   */
+  @Get()
+  @SuccessResponse(200, 'Examples retrieved')
+  public async listExamples(
+    @Query() page?: number,
+    @Query() limit?: number,
+  ): Promise<PaginatedResponse<ExampleResponse>> {
+    const { page: p, limit: l } = this.normalizePagination(page, limit);
+
+    // Call service layer
+    const { items, total } = await exampleService.listExamples(p, l);
+
+    return this.paginated(items, { page: p, limit: l, total });
+  }
+
+  /**
+   * Get a single example by ID.
+   * @summary Get example
+   * @param id Example ID
+   * @returns The example
+   */
+  @Get('{id}')
+  @SuccessResponse(200, 'Example retrieved')
+  @Response<ErrorResponse>(404, 'Example not found')
+  public async getExample(@Path() id: number): Promise<SuccessResponseType<ExampleResponse>> {
+    const example = await exampleService.getExampleById(id);
+    return this.success(example);
+  }
+
+  /**
+   * Create a new example.
+   * Requires authentication.
+   * @summary Create example
+   * @param requestBody Example data
+   * @param request Express request
+   * @returns Created example
+   */
+  @Post()
+  @Security('bearerAuth')
+  @SuccessResponse(201, 'Example created')
+  @Response<ErrorResponse>(400, 'Validation error')
+  @Response<ErrorResponse>(401, 'Not authenticated')
+  public async createExample(
+    @Body() requestBody: CreateExampleRequest,
+    @Request() request: ExpressRequest,
+  ): Promise<SuccessResponseType<ExampleResponse>> {
+    const user = request.user as UserProfile;
+    const example = await exampleService.createExample(requestBody, user.user.user_id);
+    return this.created(example);
+  }
+
+  /**
+   * Delete an example.
+   * Requires authentication.
+   * @summary Delete example
+   * @param id Example ID
+   * @param request Express request
+   */
+  @Delete('{id}')
+  @Security('bearerAuth')
+  @SuccessResponse(204, 'Example deleted')
+  @Response<ErrorResponse>(401, 'Not authenticated')
+  @Response<ErrorResponse>(404, 'Example not found')
+  public async deleteExample(
+    @Path() id: number,
+    @Request() request: ExpressRequest,
+  ): Promise<void> {
+    const user = request.user as UserProfile;
+    await exampleService.deleteExample(id, user.user.user_id);
+    return this.noContent();
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 2: Regenerate Routes
+
+After creating or modifying a controller:
+
+```bash
+# Generate OpenAPI spec and routes
+npm run tsoa:spec && npm run tsoa:routes
+
+# Or use the combined command
+npm run prebuild
+```
+
+### Step 3: Add Tests
+
+Create a test file at `src/controllers/__tests__/example.controller.test.ts`.
+
+## BaseController Pattern
+
+All controllers extend `BaseController` which provides:
+
+### Response Helpers
+
+```typescript
+// Success response (200)
+return this.success(data);
+
+// Created response (201)
+return this.created(data);
+
+// Paginated response (200 with pagination metadata)
+return this.paginated(items, { page, limit, total });
+
+// Message-only response
+return this.message('Operation completed successfully');
+
+// No content response (204)
+return this.noContent();
+
+// Error response (prefer throwing errors)
+this.setStatus(400);
+return this.error('BAD_REQUEST', 'Invalid input', details);
+```
+
+### Pagination Helpers
+
+```typescript
+// Normalize pagination with defaults and bounds
+const { page, limit } = this.normalizePagination(queryPage, queryLimit);
+// page defaults to 1, limit defaults to 20, max 100
+
+// Calculate pagination metadata
+const meta = this.calculatePagination({ page, limit, total });
+// Returns: { page, limit, total, totalPages, hasNextPage, hasPrevPage }
+```
+
+### Error Codes
+
+```typescript
+// Access standard error codes
+this.ErrorCode.VALIDATION_ERROR; // 'VALIDATION_ERROR'
+this.ErrorCode.NOT_FOUND; // 'NOT_FOUND'
+this.ErrorCode.UNAUTHORIZED; // 'UNAUTHORIZED'
+this.ErrorCode.FORBIDDEN; // 'FORBIDDEN'
+this.ErrorCode.CONFLICT; // 'CONFLICT'
+this.ErrorCode.BAD_REQUEST; // 'BAD_REQUEST'
+this.ErrorCode.INTERNAL_ERROR; // 'INTERNAL_ERROR'
+```
+
+## Authentication
+
+### Using @Security Decorator
+
+```typescript
+import { Security, Request } from 'tsoa';
+import type { Request as ExpressRequest } from 'express';
+import type { UserProfile } from '../types';
+
+@Get('profile')
+@Security('bearerAuth')
+public async getProfile(
+  @Request() request: ExpressRequest,
+): Promise<SuccessResponseType<UserProfileDto>> {
+  // request.user is populated by tsoaAuthentication.ts
+  const user = request.user as UserProfile;
+  return this.success(toUserProfileDto(user));
+}
+```
+
+### Requiring Admin Role
+
+```typescript
+import { requireAdminRole } from '../middleware/tsoaAuthentication';
+
+@Delete('users/{id}')
+@Security('bearerAuth')
+public async deleteUser(
+  @Path() id: string,
+  @Request() request: ExpressRequest,
+): Promise<void> {
+  const user = request.user as UserProfile;
+  requireAdminRole(user); // Throws 403 if not admin
+
+  await userService.deleteUser(id);
+  return this.noContent();
+}
+```
+
+### How Authentication Works
+
+1. tsoa sees `@Security('bearerAuth')` decorator
+2. tsoa calls `expressAuthentication()` from `src/middleware/tsoaAuthentication.ts`
+3. The function extracts and validates the JWT token
+4. User profile is fetched from database and attached to `request.user`
+5. If authentication fails, an `AuthenticationError` is thrown
+
+## Request Handling
+
+### Path Parameters
+
+```typescript
+@Get('{id}')
+public async getItem(@Path() id: number): Promise<...> { ... }
+
+// Multiple path params
+@Get('{userId}/items/{itemId}')
+public async getUserItem(
+  @Path() userId: string,
+  @Path() itemId: number,
+): Promise<...> { ... }
+```
+
+### Query Parameters
+
+```typescript
+@Get()
+public async listItems(
+  @Query() page?: number,
+  @Query() limit?: number,
+  @Query() status?: 'active' | 'inactive',
+  @Query() search?: string,
+): Promise<...> { ... }
+```
+
+### Request Body
+
+```typescript
+interface CreateItemRequest {
+  name: string;
+  description?: string;
+}
+
+@Post()
+public async createItem(
+  @Body() requestBody: CreateItemRequest,
+): Promise<...> { ... }
+```
+
+### Headers
+
+```typescript
+@Get()
+public async getWithHeader(
+  @Header('X-Custom-Header') customHeader?: string,
+): Promise<...> { ... }
+```
+
+### Accessing Express Request/Response
+
+```typescript
+import type { Request as ExpressRequest } from 'express';
+
+@Post()
+public async handleRequest(
+  @Request() request: ExpressRequest,
+): Promise<...> {
+  const reqLog = request.log;          // Pino logger
+  const cookies = request.cookies;      // Cookies
+  const ip = request.ip;                // Client IP
+  const res = request.res!;             // Express response
+
+  // Set cookie
+  res.cookie('name', 'value', { httpOnly: true });
+
+  // ...
+}
+```
+
+## Response Formatting
+
+### Standard Success Response
+
+```typescript
+// Returns: { "success": true, "data": {...} }
+return this.success({ id: 1, name: 'Item' });
+```
+
+### Created Response (201)
+
+```typescript
+// Sets status 201 and returns success response
+return this.created(newItem);
+```
+
+### Paginated Response
+
+```typescript
+// Returns: { "success": true, "data": [...], "meta": { "pagination": {...} } }
+return this.paginated(items, { page: 1, limit: 20, total: 100 });
+```
+
+### No Content (204)
+
+```typescript
+// Sets status 204 with no body
+return this.noContent();
+```
+
+### Error Response
+
+Prefer throwing errors rather than returning error responses:
+
+```typescript
+import { NotFoundError, ValidationError, ForbiddenError } from './base.controller';
+
+// Throw for not found
+throw new NotFoundError('Item', id);
+
+// Throw for validation errors
+throw new ValidationError([], 'Invalid input');
+
+// Throw for forbidden
+throw new ForbiddenError('Admin access required');
+```
+
+If you need manual error response:
+
+```typescript
+this.setStatus(400);
+return this.error(this.ErrorCode.BAD_REQUEST, 'Invalid operation', { reason: '...' });
+```
+
+## DTOs and Type Definitions
+
+### Why DTOs?
+
+tsoa generates OpenAPI specs from TypeScript types. Some types cannot be serialized:
+
+- Tuples: `[number, number]` (e.g., GeoJSON coordinates)
+- Complex generics
+- Circular references
+
+DTOs flatten these into tsoa-compatible structures.
+
+### Shared DTOs
+
+Define shared DTOs in `src/dtos/common.dto.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+// src/dtos/common.dto.ts
+
+/**
+ * Address with flattened coordinates.
+ * GeoJSONPoint uses coordinates: [number, number] which tsoa cannot handle.
+ */
+export interface AddressDto {
+  address_id: number;
+  address_line_1: string;
+  city: string;
+  province_state: string;
+  postal_code: string;
+  country: string;
+  // Flattened from GeoJSONPoint.coordinates
+  latitude?: number | null;
+  longitude?: number | null;
+  created_at: string;
+  updated_at: string;
+}
+
+export interface UserDto {
+  user_id: string;
+  email: string;
+  created_at: string;
+  updated_at: string;
+}
+```
+
+### Conversion Functions
+
+Create conversion functions to map domain types to DTOs:
+
+```typescript
+// In controller file
+function toAddressDto(address: Address): AddressDto {
+  return {
+    address_id: address.address_id,
+    address_line_1: address.address_line_1,
+    city: address.city,
+    province_state: address.province_state,
+    postal_code: address.postal_code,
+    country: address.country,
+    latitude: address.location?.coordinates[1] ?? null,
+    longitude: address.location?.coordinates[0] ?? null,
+    created_at: address.created_at,
+    updated_at: address.updated_at,
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### Important: Avoid Duplicate Type Names
+
+tsoa requires unique type names across all controllers. If two controllers define an interface with the same name, tsoa will fail.
+
+**Solution**: Define shared types in `src/dtos/common.dto.ts` and import them.
+
+## File Uploads
+
+tsoa supports file uploads via `@UploadedFile` and `@FormField` decorators:
+
+```typescript
+import { Post, Route, UploadedFile, FormField, Security } from 'tsoa';
+import multer from 'multer';
+
+// Configure multer
+const upload = multer({
+  storage: multer.diskStorage({
+    destination: '/tmp/uploads',
+    filename: (req, file, cb) => {
+      cb(null, `${Date.now()}-${Math.round(Math.random() * 1e9)}-${file.originalname}`);
+    },
+  }),
+  limits: { fileSize: 10 * 1024 * 1024 }, // 10MB
+});
+
+@Route('flyers')
+@Tags('Flyers')
+export class FlyerController extends BaseController {
+  /**
+   * Upload a flyer image.
+   * @summary Upload flyer
+   * @param file The flyer image file
+   * @param storeId Associated store ID
+   * @param request Express request
+   */
+  @Post('upload')
+  @Security('bearerAuth')
+  @Middlewares(upload.single('file'))
+  @SuccessResponse(201, 'Flyer uploaded')
+  public async uploadFlyer(
+    @UploadedFile() file: Express.Multer.File,
+    @FormField() storeId?: number,
+    @Request() request: ExpressRequest,
+  ): Promise<SuccessResponseType<FlyerDto>> {
+    const user = request.user as UserProfile;
+    const flyer = await flyerService.processUpload(file, storeId, user.user.user_id);
+    return this.created(flyer);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Rate Limiting
+
+Apply rate limiters using the `@Middlewares` decorator:
+
+```typescript
+import { Middlewares } from 'tsoa';
+import { loginLimiter, registerLimiter } from '../config/rateLimiters';
+
+@Post('login')
+@Middlewares(loginLimiter)
+@SuccessResponse(200, 'Login successful')
+@Response<ErrorResponse>(429, 'Too many login attempts')
+public async login(@Body() body: LoginRequest): Promise<...> { ... }
+
+@Post('register')
+@Middlewares(registerLimiter)
+@SuccessResponse(201, 'User registered')
+@Response<ErrorResponse>(429, 'Too many registration attempts')
+public async register(@Body() body: RegisterRequest): Promise<...> { ... }
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Throwing Errors
+
+Use the error classes from `base.controller.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import {
+  NotFoundError,
+  ValidationError,
+  ForbiddenError,
+  UniqueConstraintError,
+} from './base.controller';
+
+// Not found (404)
+throw new NotFoundError('User', userId);
+
+// Validation error (400)
+throw new ValidationError([], 'Invalid email format');
+
+// Forbidden (403)
+throw new ForbiddenError('Admin access required');
+
+// Conflict (409) - e.g., duplicate email
+throw new UniqueConstraintError('email', 'Email already registered');
+```
+
+### Global Error Handler
+
+Errors are caught by the global error handler in `server.ts` which formats them according to ADR-028:
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": false,
+  "error": {
+    "code": "NOT_FOUND",
+    "message": "User not found"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Authentication Errors
+
+The `tsoaAuthentication.ts` module throws `AuthenticationError` with appropriate HTTP status codes:
+
+- 401: Missing token, invalid token, expired token
+- 403: User lacks required role
+- 500: Server configuration error
+
+## Testing Controllers
+
+### Test File Location
+
+```
+src/controllers/__tests__/
+  example.controller.test.ts
+  auth.controller.test.ts
+  user.controller.test.ts
+  ...
+```
+
+### Test Structure
+
+```typescript
+// src/controllers/__tests__/example.controller.test.ts
+import { describe, it, expect, vi, beforeEach, afterEach } from 'vitest';
+import { ExampleController } from '../example.controller';
+
+// Mock dependencies
+vi.mock('../../services/exampleService', () => ({
+  exampleService: {
+    listExamples: vi.fn(),
+    getExampleById: vi.fn(),
+    createExample: vi.fn(),
+    deleteExample: vi.fn(),
+  },
+}));
+
+import { exampleService } from '../../services/exampleService';
+
+describe('ExampleController', () => {
+  let controller: ExampleController;
+
+  beforeEach(() => {
+    controller = new ExampleController();
+    vi.clearAllMocks();
+  });
+
+  describe('listExamples', () => {
+    it('should return paginated examples', async () => {
+      const mockItems = [{ id: 1, name: 'Test' }];
+      vi.mocked(exampleService.listExamples).mockResolvedValue({
+        items: mockItems,
+        total: 1,
+      });
+
+      const result = await controller.listExamples(1, 20);
+
+      expect(result.success).toBe(true);
+      expect(result.data).toEqual(mockItems);
+      expect(result.meta?.pagination).toBeDefined();
+      expect(result.meta?.pagination?.total).toBe(1);
+    });
+  });
+
+  describe('createExample', () => {
+    it('should create example and return 201', async () => {
+      const mockExample = { id: 1, name: 'New', created_at: '2026-01-01' };
+      vi.mocked(exampleService.createExample).mockResolvedValue(mockExample);
+
+      const mockRequest = {
+        user: { user: { user_id: 'user-123' } },
+      } as any;
+
+      const result = await controller.createExample({ name: 'New' }, mockRequest);
+
+      expect(result.success).toBe(true);
+      expect(result.data).toEqual(mockExample);
+      // Note: setStatus is called internally, verify with spy if needed
+    });
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Testing Authentication
+
+```typescript
+describe('authenticated endpoints', () => {
+  it('should use user from request', async () => {
+    const mockRequest = {
+      user: {
+        user: { user_id: 'user-123', email: 'test@example.com' },
+        role: 'user',
+      },
+    } as any;
+
+    const result = await controller.getProfile(mockRequest);
+
+    expect(result.data.user.user_id).toBe('user-123');
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Known Test Limitations
+
+Some test files have type errors with mock objects that are acceptable:
+
+```typescript
+// Type error: 'any' is not assignable to 'Express.Request'
+// This is acceptable in tests - the mock has the properties we need
+const mockRequest = { user: mockUser } as any;
+```
+
+These type errors do not affect test correctness. The 4603 unit tests and 345 integration tests all pass.
+
+## Build and Development
+
+### Development Workflow
+
+1. Create or modify controller
+2. Run `npm run tsoa:spec && npm run tsoa:routes`
+3. Run `npm run type-check` to verify
+4. Run tests
+
+### NPM Scripts
+
+```json
+{
+  "tsoa:spec": "tsoa spec",
+  "tsoa:routes": "tsoa routes",
+  "prebuild": "npm run tsoa:spec && npm run tsoa:routes",
+  "build": "tsc"
+}
+```
+
+### Watching for Changes
+
+Currently, tsoa routes must be regenerated manually when controllers change. Consider adding a watch script:
+
+```bash
+# In development, regenerate on save
+npm run tsoa:spec && npm run tsoa:routes
+```
+
+### Generated Files
+
+| File                           | Regenerate When                 |
+| ------------------------------ | ------------------------------- |
+| `src/routes/tsoa-generated.ts` | Controller changes              |
+| `src/config/tsoa-spec.json`    | Controller changes, DTO changes |
+
+These files are committed to the repository for faster builds.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Duplicate identifier" Error
+
+**Problem**: tsoa fails with "Duplicate identifier" for a type.
+
+**Solution**: Move the type to `src/dtos/common.dto.ts` and import it in all controllers.
+
+### "Unable to resolve type" Error
+
+**Problem**: tsoa cannot serialize a complex type (tuples, generics).
+
+**Solution**: Create a DTO with flattened/simplified structure.
+
+```typescript
+// Before: GeoJSONPoint with coordinates: [number, number]
+// After: AddressDto with latitude, longitude as separate fields
+```
+
+### Route Not Found (404)
+
+**Problem**: New endpoint returns 404.
+
+**Solution**:
+
+1. Ensure controller file matches glob pattern: `src/controllers/**/*.controller.ts`
+2. Regenerate routes: `npm run tsoa:routes`
+3. Verify the route is in `src/routes/tsoa-generated.ts`
+
+### Authentication Not Working
+
+**Problem**: `request.user` is undefined.
+
+**Solution**:
+
+1. Ensure `@Security('bearerAuth')` decorator is on the method
+2. Verify `tsoaAuthentication.ts` is correctly configured in `tsoa.json`
+3. Check the Authorization header format: `Bearer <token>`
+
+### Type Mismatch in Tests
+
+**Problem**: TypeScript errors when mocking Express.Request.
+
+**Solution**: Use `as any` cast for mock objects in tests. This is acceptable and does not affect test correctness.
+
+```typescript
+const mockRequest = {
+  user: mockUserProfile,
+  log: mockLogger,
+} as any;
+```
+
+## Migration Lessons Learned
+
+### What Worked Well
+
+1. **BaseController Pattern**: Provides consistent response formatting and familiar helpers
+2. **Incremental Migration**: Controllers can be migrated one at a time
+3. **Type-First Design**: Defining request/response types first makes implementation clearer
+4. **Shared DTOs**: Centralizing DTOs in `common.dto.ts` prevents duplicate type errors
+
+### Challenges Encountered
+
+1. **Tuple Types**: tsoa cannot serialize TypeScript tuples. Solution: Flatten to separate fields.
+2. **Passport Integration**: OAuth callbacks use redirect-based flows that don't fit tsoa's JSON model. Solution: Keep OAuth callbacks in Express routes.
+3. **Test Type Errors**: Mock objects don't perfectly match Express types. Solution: Accept `as any` casts in tests.
+4. **Build Pipeline**: Must regenerate routes when controllers change. Solution: Add to prebuild script.
+
+### Recommendations for Future Controllers
+
+1. Start with the DTO/request/response types
+2. Use `@SuccessResponse` and `@Response` decorators for all status codes
+3. Add JSDoc comments for OpenAPI descriptions
+4. Keep controller methods thin - delegate to service layer
+5. Test controllers in isolation by mocking services

+# tsoa Controller Standards
+
+This document defines the coding standards and patterns for implementing tsoa controllers in the Flyer Crawler API.
+
+## Overview
+
+Controllers are the API layer that handles HTTP requests and responses. They use [tsoa](https://tsoa-community.github.io/docs/) decorators to define routes and generate OpenAPI specifications automatically.
+
+**Key Principles:**
+
+- Controllers handle HTTP concerns (parsing requests, formatting responses)
+- Business logic belongs in the service layer
+- All controllers extend `BaseController` for consistent response formatting
+- Response formats follow ADR-028 (API Response Standards)
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```typescript
+import { Route, Get, Post, Tags, Body, Path, Query, Security, Request } from 'tsoa';
+import {
+  BaseController,
+  SuccessResponse,
+  PaginatedResponse,
+  RequestContext,
+} from './base.controller';
+import { userService } from '../services/userService';
+import type { User, CreateUserRequest } from '../types';
+
+@Route('users')
+@Tags('Users')
+export class UsersController extends BaseController {
+  /**
+   * Get a user by ID.
+   * @param id The user's unique identifier
+   */
+  @Get('{id}')
+  @Security('jwt')
+  public async getUser(
+    @Path() id: string,
+    @Request() ctx: RequestContext,
+  ): Promise<SuccessResponse<User>> {
+    ctx.logger.info({ userId: id }, 'Fetching user');
+    const user = await userService.getUserById(id, ctx.logger);
+    return this.success(user);
+  }
+
+  /**
+   * List all users with pagination.
+   */
+  @Get()
+  @Security('jwt', ['admin'])
+  public async listUsers(
+    @Query() page?: number,
+    @Query() limit?: number,
+    @Request() ctx?: RequestContext,
+  ): Promise<PaginatedResponse<User>> {
+    const { page: p, limit: l } = this.normalizePagination(page, limit);
+    const { users, total } = await userService.listUsers({ page: p, limit: l }, ctx?.logger);
+    return this.paginated(users, { page: p, limit: l, total });
+  }
+
+  /**
+   * Create a new user.
+   */
+  @Post()
+  @Security('jwt', ['admin'])
+  public async createUser(
+    @Body() body: CreateUserRequest,
+    @Request() ctx: RequestContext,
+  ): Promise<SuccessResponse<User>> {
+    const user = await userService.createUser(body, ctx.logger);
+    return this.created(user);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## File Structure
+
+```
+src/controllers/
+├── base.controller.ts    # Base class with response helpers
+├── types.ts              # Shared types for controllers
+├── README.md             # This file
+├── health.controller.ts  # Health check endpoints
+├── auth.controller.ts    # Authentication endpoints
+├── users.controller.ts   # User management endpoints
+└── ...
+```
+
+## Response Format
+
+All responses follow ADR-028:
+
+### Success Response
+
+```typescript
+interface SuccessResponse<T> {
+  success: true;
+  data: T;
+  meta?: {
+    requestId?: string;
+    timestamp?: string;
+    pagination?: PaginationMeta;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### Error Response
+
+```typescript
+interface ErrorResponse {
+  success: false;
+  error: {
+    code: string; // e.g., 'NOT_FOUND', 'VALIDATION_ERROR'
+    message: string; // Human-readable message
+    details?: unknown; // Additional error details
+  };
+  meta?: {
+    requestId?: string;
+    timestamp?: string;
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### Paginated Response
+
+```typescript
+interface PaginatedResponse<T> {
+  success: true;
+  data: T[];
+  meta: {
+    pagination: {
+      page: number;
+      limit: number;
+      total: number;
+      totalPages: number;
+      hasNextPage: boolean;
+      hasPrevPage: boolean;
+    };
+  };
+}
+```
+
+## BaseController Methods
+
+### Response Helpers
+
+| Method                               | Description                 | HTTP Status |
+| ------------------------------------ | --------------------------- | ----------- |
+| `success(data, meta?)`               | Standard success response   | 200         |
+| `created(data, meta?)`               | Resource created            | 201         |
+| `noContent()`                        | Success with no body        | 204         |
+| `paginated(data, pagination, meta?)` | Paginated list response     | 200         |
+| `message(msg)`                       | Success with just a message | 200         |
+
+### Pagination Helpers
+
+| Method                               | Description                                           |
+| ------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------- |
+| `normalizePagination(page?, limit?)` | Apply defaults and bounds (page=1, limit=20, max=100) |
+| `calculatePagination(input)`         | Calculate totalPages, hasNextPage, etc.               |
+
+### Error Handling
+
+Controllers should throw typed errors rather than constructing error responses manually:
+
+```typescript
+import { NotFoundError, ForbiddenError, ValidationError } from './base.controller';
+
+// Throw when resource not found
+throw new NotFoundError('User not found');
+
+// Throw when access denied
+throw new ForbiddenError('Cannot access this resource');
+
+// Throw for validation errors (from Zod)
+throw new ValidationError(zodError.issues);
+```
+
+The global error handler converts these to proper HTTP responses.
+
+## tsoa Decorators
+
+### Route Decorators
+
+| Decorator                                              | Description                               |
+| ------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------- |
+| `@Route('path')`                                       | Base path for all endpoints in controller |
+| `@Tags('TagName')`                                     | OpenAPI tag for grouping                  |
+| `@Get()`, `@Post()`, `@Put()`, `@Patch()`, `@Delete()` | HTTP methods                              |
+| `@Security('jwt')`                                     | Require authentication                    |
+| `@Security('jwt', ['admin'])`                          | Require specific roles                    |
+
+### Parameter Decorators
+
+| Decorator    | Description            | Example                               |
+| ------------ | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
+| `@Path()`    | URL path parameter     | `@Path() id: string`                  |
+| `@Query()`   | Query string parameter | `@Query() search?: string`            |
+| `@Body()`    | Request body           | `@Body() data: CreateUserRequest`     |
+| `@Header()`  | Request header         | `@Header('X-Custom') custom?: string` |
+| `@Request()` | Full request context   | `@Request() ctx: RequestContext`      |
+
+### Response Decorators
+
+| Decorator                                    | Description                      |
+| -------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
+| `@Response<ErrorResponse>(404, 'Not Found')` | Document possible error response |
+| `@SuccessResponse(201, 'Created')`           | Document success response        |
+
+## RequestContext
+
+The `RequestContext` interface provides access to request-scoped resources:
+
+```typescript
+interface RequestContext {
+  logger: Logger; // Request-scoped Pino logger (ADR-004)
+  requestId: string; // Unique request ID for correlation
+  user?: AuthenticatedUser; // Authenticated user (from JWT)
+  dbClient?: PoolClient; // Database client for transactions
+}
+
+interface AuthenticatedUser {
+  userId: string;
+  email: string;
+  roles?: string[];
+}
+```
+
+## Naming Conventions
+
+### Controller Class Names
+
+- PascalCase with `Controller` suffix
+- Example: `UsersController`, `HealthController`, `AuthController`
+
+### Method Names
+
+- camelCase, describing the action
+- Use verbs: `getUser`, `listUsers`, `createUser`, `updateUser`, `deleteUser`
+
+### File Names
+
+- kebab-case with `.controller.ts` suffix
+- Example: `users.controller.ts`, `health.controller.ts`
+
+## Service Layer Integration
+
+Controllers delegate to the service layer for business logic:
+
+```typescript
+@Route('flyers')
+@Tags('Flyers')
+export class FlyersController extends BaseController {
+  @Get('{id}')
+  public async getFlyer(
+    @Path() id: number,
+    @Request() ctx: RequestContext,
+  ): Promise<SuccessResponse<Flyer>> {
+    // Service handles business logic and database access
+    const flyer = await flyerService.getFlyerById(id, ctx.logger);
+    // Controller only formats the response
+    return this.success(flyer);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Rules:**
+
+1. Never access repositories directly from controllers
+2. Always pass the logger to service methods
+3. Let services throw domain errors (NotFoundError, etc.)
+4. Controllers catch and transform errors only when needed
+
+## Validation
+
+tsoa performs automatic validation based on TypeScript types. For complex validation, define request types:
+
+```typescript
+// In types.ts or a dedicated types file
+interface CreateUserRequest {
+  /**
+   * User's email address
+   * @format email
+   */
+  email: string;
+
+  /**
+   * User's password
+   * @minLength 8
+   */
+  password: string;
+
+  /**
+   * Full name (optional)
+   */
+  fullName?: string;
+}
+
+// In controller
+@Post()
+public async createUser(@Body() body: CreateUserRequest): Promise<SuccessResponse<User>> {
+  // body is already validated by tsoa
+  return this.created(await userService.createUser(body));
+}
+```
+
+For additional runtime validation (e.g., database constraints), use Zod in the service layer.
+
+## Error Handling Examples
+
+### Not Found
+
+```typescript
+@Get('{id}')
+public async getUser(@Path() id: string): Promise<SuccessResponse<User>> {
+  const user = await userService.findUserById(id);
+  if (!user) {
+    throw new NotFoundError(`User with ID ${id} not found`);
+  }
+  return this.success(user);
+}
+```
+
+### Authorization
+
+```typescript
+@Delete('{id}')
+@Security('jwt')
+public async deleteUser(
+  @Path() id: string,
+  @Request() ctx: RequestContext,
+): Promise<void> {
+  // Only allow users to delete their own account (or admins)
+  if (ctx.user?.userId !== id && !ctx.user?.roles?.includes('admin')) {
+    throw new ForbiddenError('Cannot delete another user account');
+  }
+  await userService.deleteUser(id, ctx.logger);
+  return this.noContent();
+}
+```
+
+### Conflict (Duplicate)
+
+```typescript
+@Post()
+public async createUser(@Body() body: CreateUserRequest): Promise<SuccessResponse<User>> {
+  try {
+    const user = await userService.createUser(body);
+    return this.created(user);
+  } catch (error) {
+    if (error instanceof UniqueConstraintError) {
+      this.setStatus(409);
+      throw error; // Let error handler format the response
+    }
+    throw error;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Testing Controllers
+
+Controllers should be tested via integration tests that verify the full HTTP request/response cycle:
+
+```typescript
+import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
+import request from 'supertest';
+import { app } from '../app';
+
+describe('UsersController', () => {
+  describe('GET /api/v1/users/:id', () => {
+    it('should return user when found', async () => {
+      const response = await request(app)

+## Migration from Express Routes
+
+When migrating existing Express routes to tsoa controllers:
+
+1. Create the controller class extending `BaseController`
+2. Add route decorators matching existing paths
+3. Move request handling logic (keep business logic in services)
+4. Replace `sendSuccess`/`sendError` with `this.success()`/throwing errors
+5. Update tests to use the new paths
+6. Remove the old Express route file
