 **Positive**: Decouples the API from heavy processing, allows for retries on failure, and enables scaling the processing workers independently. Increases application reliability and resilience.
 **Negative**: Introduces a new dependency (Redis) into the infrastructure. Requires refactoring of the flyer processing logic to work within a job queue structure.
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Queue Infrastructure
+
+The implementation uses **BullMQ v5.65.1** with **ioredis v5.8.2** for Redis connectivity. Six distinct queues handle different job types:
+
+| Queue Name                   | Purpose                     | Retry Attempts | Backoff Strategy       |
+| ---------------------------- | --------------------------- | -------------- | ---------------------- |

+| `email-sending`              | Email delivery              | 5              | Exponential (10s base) |
+| `analytics-reporting`        | Daily report generation     | 2              | Exponential (60s base) |
+| `weekly-analytics-reporting` | Weekly report generation    | 2              | Exponential (1h base)  |
+| `file-cleanup`               | Temporary file cleanup      | 3              | Exponential (30s base) |
+| `token-cleanup`              | Expired token removal       | 2              | Exponential (1h base)  |

+- `src/services/flyerProcessingService.server.ts` - 5-stage flyer processing pipeline
+- `src/types/job-data.ts` - TypeScript interfaces for all job data types
+
+### API Design
+
+Endpoints for long-running tasks return **202 Accepted** immediately with a job ID:
+
+```text
+POST /api/ai/upload-and-process → 202 { jobId: "..." }
+GET  /api/ai/jobs/:jobId/status → { state: "...", progress: ... }
+```
+
+### Worker Configuration
+
+Workers are configured via environment variables:
+
+- `WORKER_CONCURRENCY` - Flyer processing parallelism (default: 1)
+- `EMAIL_WORKER_CONCURRENCY` - Email worker parallelism (default: 10)
+- `ANALYTICS_WORKER_CONCURRENCY` - Analytics worker parallelism (default: 1)
+- `CLEANUP_WORKER_CONCURRENCY` - Cleanup worker parallelism (default: 10)
+
+### Monitoring
+
+- **Bull Board UI** available at `/api/admin/jobs` for admin users
+- Worker status endpoint: `GET /api/admin/workers/status`
+- Queue status endpoint: `GET /api/admin/queues/status`
+
+### Graceful Shutdown
+
+Both API and worker processes implement graceful shutdown with a 30-second timeout, ensuring in-flight jobs complete before process termination.
+
+## Compliance Notes
+
+### Deprecated Synchronous Endpoints
+
+The following endpoints process flyers synchronously and are **deprecated**:
+
+- `POST /api/ai/upload-legacy` - For integration testing only
+- `POST /api/ai/flyers/process` - Legacy workflow, should migrate to queue-based approach
+
+New integrations MUST use `POST /api/ai/upload-and-process` for queue-based processing.
+
+### Email Handling
+
+- **Bulk emails** (deal notifications): Enqueued via `emailQueue`
+- **Transactional emails** (password reset): Sent synchronously for immediate user feedback
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential improvements for consideration:
+
+1. **Dead Letter Queue (DLQ)**: Move permanently failed jobs to a dedicated queue for analysis
+2. **Job Priority Levels**: Allow priority-based processing for different job types
+3. **Real-time Progress**: WebSocket/SSE for live job progress updates to clients
+4. **Per-Queue Rate Limiting**: Throttle job processing based on external API limits
+5. **Job Dependencies**: Support for jobs that depend on completion of other jobs
+6. **Prometheus Metrics**: Export queue metrics for observability dashboards

@@ -20,3 +20,107 @@ We will implement a multi-layered caching strategy using an in-memory data store
 
 **Positive**: Directly addresses application performance and scalability. Reduces database load and improves API response times for common requests.
 **Negative**: Introduces Redis as a dependency if not already used. Adds complexity to the data-fetching logic and requires careful management of cache invalidation to prevent stale data.
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Cache Service
+
+A centralized cache service (`src/services/cacheService.server.ts`) provides reusable caching functionality:
+
+- **`getOrSet<T>(key, fetcher, options)`**: Cache-aside pattern implementation
+- **`get<T>(key)`**: Retrieve cached value
+- **`set<T>(key, value, ttl)`**: Store value with TTL
+- **`del(key)`**: Delete specific key
+- **`invalidatePattern(pattern)`**: Delete keys matching a pattern
+
+All cache operations are fail-safe - cache failures do not break the application.
+
+### TTL Configuration
+
+Different data types use different TTL values based on volatility:
+
+| Data Type           | TTL       | Rationale                              |
+| ------------------- | --------- | -------------------------------------- |
+| Brands/Stores       | 1 hour    | Rarely changes, safe to cache longer   |
+| Flyer lists         | 5 minutes | Changes when new flyers are added      |
+| Individual flyers   | 10 minutes| Stable once created                    |
+| Flyer items         | 10 minutes| Stable once created                    |
+| Statistics          | 5 minutes | Can be slightly stale                  |
+| Frequent sales      | 15 minutes| Aggregated data, updated periodically  |
+| Categories          | 1 hour    | Rarely changes                         |
+
+### Cache Key Strategy
+
+Cache keys follow a consistent prefix pattern for pattern-based invalidation:
+
+- `cache:brands` - All brands list
+- `cache:flyers:{limit}:{offset}` - Paginated flyer lists
+- `cache:flyer:{id}` - Individual flyer data
+- `cache:flyer-items:{flyerId}` - Items for a specific flyer
+- `cache:stats:*` - Statistics data
+- `geocode:{address}` - Geocoding results (30-day TTL)
+
+### Cached Endpoints
+
+The following repository methods implement server-side caching:
+
+| Method | Cache Key Pattern | TTL |
+| ------ | ----------------- | --- |
+| `FlyerRepository.getAllBrands()` | `cache:brands` | 1 hour |
+| `FlyerRepository.getFlyers()` | `cache:flyers:{limit}:{offset}` | 5 minutes |
+| `FlyerRepository.getFlyerItems()` | `cache:flyer-items:{flyerId}` | 10 minutes |
+
+### Cache Invalidation
+
+**Event-based invalidation** is triggered on write operations:
+
+- **Flyer creation** (`FlyerPersistenceService.saveFlyer`): Invalidates all `cache:flyers*` keys
+- **Flyer deletion** (`FlyerRepository.deleteFlyer`): Invalidates specific flyer and flyer items cache, plus flyer lists
+
+**Manual invalidation** via admin endpoints:
+
+- `POST /api/admin/system/clear-cache` - Clears all application cache (flyers, brands, stats)
+- `POST /api/admin/system/clear-geocode-cache` - Clears geocoding cache
+
+### Client-Side Caching
+
+TanStack React Query provides client-side caching with configurable stale times:
+
+| Query Type        | Stale Time  |
+| ----------------- | ----------- |
+| Categories        | 1 hour      |
+| Master Items      | 10 minutes  |
+| Flyer Items       | 5 minutes   |
+| Flyers            | 2 minutes   |
+| Shopping Lists    | 1 minute    |
+| Activity Log      | 30 seconds  |
+
+### Multi-Layer Cache Architecture
+
+```text
+Client Request
+      ↓
+[TanStack React Query] ← Client-side cache (staleTime-based)
+      ↓
+[Express API]
+      ↓
+[CacheService.getOrSet()] ← Server-side Redis cache (TTL-based)
+      ↓
+[PostgreSQL Database]
+```

+- `src/services/db/flyer.db.ts` - Repository with caching for brands, flyers, flyer items
+- `src/services/flyerPersistenceService.server.ts` - Cache invalidation on flyer creation
+- `src/routes/admin.routes.ts` - Admin cache management endpoints
+- `src/config/queryClient.ts` - Client-side query cache configuration
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+1. **Recipe caching**: Add caching to expensive recipe queries (by-sale-percentage, etc.)
+2. **Cache warming**: Pre-populate cache on startup for frequently accessed static data
+3. **Cache metrics**: Add hit/miss rate monitoring for observability
+4. **Conditional caching**: Skip cache for authenticated user-specific data
+5. **Cache compression**: Compress large cached payloads to reduce Redis memory usage

+```
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+**Purpose**: Test isolated functions, components, and modules with mocked dependencies.
+
+**Environment**: jsdom (browser-like)
+
+**Key Patterns**:
+
+```typescript
+// Component testing with providers
+import { renderWithProviders, screen } from '@/tests/utils/renderWithProviders';
+
+describe('MyComponent', () => {
+  it('renders correctly', () => {
+    renderWithProviders(<MyComponent />);
+    expect(screen.getByText('Hello')).toBeInTheDocument();
+  });
+});
+```
+
+```typescript
+// Hook testing
+import { renderHook, waitFor } from '@testing-library/react';
+import { useMyHook } from './useMyHook';
+
+describe('useMyHook', () => {
+  it('returns expected value', async () => {
+    const { result } = renderHook(() => useMyHook());
+    await waitFor(() => expect(result.current.data).toBeDefined());
+  });
+});
+```
+
+**Global Mocks** (automatically applied via `tests-setup-unit.ts`):
+
+- Database connections (`pg.Pool`)
+- AI services (`@google/genai`)
+- Authentication (`jsonwebtoken`, `bcrypt`)
+- Logging (`logger.server`, `logger.client`)
+- Notifications (`notificationService`)
+
+### Integration Tests
+
+**Purpose**: Test API routes with real service interactions and database.
+
+**Environment**: node
+
+**Setup**: Real Express server on port 3001, real PostgreSQL database
+
+```typescript
+// API route testing pattern
+import supertest from 'supertest';
+import { createAndLoginUser } from '@/tests/utils/testHelpers';
+
+describe('Auth API', () => {
+  let request: ReturnType<typeof supertest>;
+  let authToken: string;
+
+  beforeAll(async () => {
+    const app = (await import('../../../server')).default;
+    request = supertest(app);
+    const { token } = await createAndLoginUser(request);
+    authToken = token;
+  });
+
+  it('GET /api/auth/me returns user profile', async () => {
+    const response = await request
+      .get('/api/auth/me')
+      .set('Authorization', `Bearer ${authToken}`);
+
+    expect(response.status).toBe(200);
+    expect(response.body.user.email).toBeDefined();
+  });
+});
+```
+
+**Database Cleanup**:
+
+```typescript
+import { cleanupDb } from '@/tests/utils/cleanup';
+
+afterAll(async () => {
+  await cleanupDb({ users: [testUserId] });
+});
+```
+
+### E2E Tests
+
+**Purpose**: Test complete user journeys through the application.
+
+**Timeout**: 120 seconds (for long-running flows)
+
+**Current E2E Tests**:
+
+- `auth.e2e.test.ts` - Registration, login, password reset
+- `flyer-upload.e2e.test.ts` - Complete flyer upload pipeline
+- `user-journey.e2e.test.ts` - Full user workflow
+- `admin-authorization.e2e.test.ts` - Admin-specific flows
+- `admin-dashboard.e2e.test.ts` - Admin dashboard functionality
+
+### Mock Factories
+
+The project uses comprehensive mock factories (`src/tests/utils/mockFactories.ts`, 1553 lines) for creating test data:
+
+```typescript
+import {
+  createMockUser,
+  createMockFlyer,
+  createMockFlyerItem,
+  createMockRecipe,
+  resetMockIds,
+} from '@/tests/utils/mockFactories';
+
+beforeEach(() => {
+  resetMockIds(); // Ensure deterministic IDs
+});
+
+it('creates flyer with items', () => {
+  const flyer = createMockFlyer({ store_name: 'TestMart' });
+  const items = [createMockFlyerItem({ flyer_id: flyer.flyer_id })];
+  // ...
+});
+```
+
+**Factory Coverage**: 90+ factory functions for all domain entities including users, flyers, recipes, shopping lists, budgets, achievements, etc.
+
+### Test Utilities
+
+| Utility | Purpose |
+| ------- | ------- |
+| `renderWithProviders()` | Wrap components with AppProviders + Router |
+| `createAndLoginUser()` | Create user and return auth token |
+| `cleanupDb()` | Database cleanup respecting FK constraints |
+| `createTestApp()` | Create Express app for route testing |
+| `poll()` | Polling utility for async operations |
+
+### Coverage Configuration
+
+**Coverage Provider**: v8 (built-in Vitest)
+
+**Report Directories**:
+
+- `.coverage/unit/` - Unit test coverage
+- `.coverage/integration/` - Integration test coverage
+- `.coverage/e2e/` - E2E test coverage
+
+**Excluded from Coverage**:
+
+- `src/index.tsx`, `src/main.tsx` (entry points)
+- `src/tests/**` (test files themselves)
+- `src/**/*.d.ts` (type declarations)
+- `src/components/icons/**` (icon components)
+- `src/db/seed*.ts` (database seeding scripts)
+
+### npm Scripts
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+npm run test
+
+# Run by level
+npm run test:unit          # Unit tests only (jsdom)
+npm run test:integration   # Integration tests only (node)
+
+# With coverage
+npm run test:coverage      # Unit + Integration with reports
+
+# Clean coverage directories
+npm run clean
+```
+
+### Test Timeouts
+
+| Test Type | Timeout | Rationale |
+| --------- | ------- | --------- |
+| Unit | 5 seconds | Fast, isolated tests |
+| Integration | 60 seconds | AI service calls, DB operations |
+| E2E | 120 seconds | Full user flow with multiple API calls |
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### When to Write Each Test Type
+
+1. **Unit Tests** (required):
+   - Pure functions and utilities
+   - React components (rendering, user interactions)
+   - Custom hooks
+   - Service methods with mocked dependencies
+   - Repository methods
+
+2. **Integration Tests** (required for API changes):
+   - New API endpoints
+   - Authentication/authorization flows
+   - Middleware behavior
+   - Database query correctness
+
+3. **E2E Tests** (for critical paths):
+   - User registration and login
+   - Core business flows (flyer upload, shopping lists)
+   - Admin operations
+
+### Test Isolation Guidelines
+
+1. **Reset mock IDs**: Call `resetMockIds()` in `beforeEach()`
+2. **Unique test data**: Use timestamps or UUIDs for emails/usernames
+3. **Clean up after tests**: Use `cleanupDb()` in `afterAll()`
+4. **Don't share state**: Each test should be independent
+
+### Mocking Guidelines
+
+1. **Unit tests**: Mock external dependencies (DB, APIs, services)
+2. **Integration tests**: Mock only external APIs (AI services)
+3. **E2E tests**: Minimal mocking, use real services where possible

+
+### Styling Approach
+
+**Tailwind CSS** with utility-first classes:
+
+```typescript
+// Component example with consistent styling patterns
+<button className="px-4 py-2 bg-brand-primary text-white rounded-lg
+                   hover:bg-brand-dark transition-colors duration-200
+                   focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-brand-primary
+                   focus:ring-offset-2 dark:focus:ring-offset-gray-800">
+  Click me
+</button>
+```
+
+**Common Utility Patterns**:
+
+| Pattern | Classes |
+| ------- | ------- |
+| Card container | `bg-white dark:bg-gray-800 rounded-lg shadow-md p-6` |
+| Primary button | `bg-brand-primary hover:bg-brand-dark text-white rounded-lg px-4 py-2` |
+| Secondary button | `bg-gray-100 dark:bg-gray-700 text-gray-700 dark:text-gray-200` |
+| Input field | `border border-gray-300 dark:border-gray-600 rounded-md px-3 py-2` |
+| Focus ring | `focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-brand-primary` |
+
+### Color System
+
+**Brand Colors** (Tailwind theme extensions):
+
+- `brand-primary` - Primary brand color (blue/teal)
+- `brand-light` - Lighter variant
+- `brand-dark` - Darker variant for hover states
+- `brand-secondary` - Secondary accent color
+
+**Semantic Colors**:
+
+- Gray scale: `gray-50` through `gray-950`
+- Error: `red-500`, `red-600`
+- Success: `green-500`, `green-600`
+- Warning: `yellow-500`, `orange-500`
+- Info: `blue-500`, `blue-600`
+
+### Dark Mode Implementation
+
+Dark mode is fully implemented using Tailwind's `dark:` variant:
+
+```typescript
+// Initialization in useAppInitialization hook
+const initializeDarkMode = () => {
+  // Priority: user profile > localStorage > system preference
+  const stored = localStorage.getItem('darkMode');
+  const systemPreference = window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches;
+  const isDarkMode = stored ? stored === 'true' : systemPreference;
+
+  document.documentElement.classList.toggle('dark', isDarkMode);
+  return isDarkMode;
+};
+```
+
+**Usage in components**:
+
+```typescript
+<div className="bg-white dark:bg-gray-800 text-gray-900 dark:text-white">
+  Content adapts to theme
+</div>
+```
+
+### Icon System
+
+**55 custom SVG icon components** in `src/components/icons/`:
+
+```typescript
+// Icon component pattern
+interface IconProps extends React.SVGProps<SVGSVGElement> {
+  title?: string;
+}
+
+export const CheckCircleIcon: React.FC<IconProps> = ({ title, ...props }) => (
+  <svg {...props} fill="currentColor" viewBox="0 0 24 24">
+    {title && <title>{title}</title>}
+    <path d="..." />
+  </svg>
+);
+```
+
+**Usage**:
+
+```typescript
+<CheckCircleIcon className="w-5 h-5 text-green-500" title="Success" />
+```
+
+**External icons**: Lucide React (`lucide-react` v0.555.0) used for additional icons.
+
+### Accessibility Patterns
+
+**ARIA Attributes**:
+
+```typescript
+// Modal pattern
+<div role="dialog" aria-modal="true" aria-labelledby="modal-title">
+  <h2 id="modal-title">Modal Title</h2>
+</div>
+
+// Button with label
+<button aria-label="Close modal">
+  <XMarkIcon aria-hidden="true" />
+</button>
+
+// Loading state
+<div role="status" aria-live="polite">
+  <LoadingSpinner />
+</div>
+```
+
+**Focus Management**:
+
+- Consistent focus rings: `focus:ring-2 focus:ring-brand-primary focus:ring-offset-2`
+- Dark mode offset: `dark:focus:ring-offset-gray-800`
+- No outline: `focus:outline-none` (using ring instead)
+
+### State Management
+
+**Context Providers** (see ADR-005):
+
+| Provider | Purpose |
+| -------- | ------- |
+| `AuthProvider` | Authentication state |
+| `ModalProvider` | Modal open/close state |
+| `FlyersProvider` | Flyer data |
+| `MasterItemsProvider` | Grocery items |
+| `UserDataProvider` | User-specific data |
+
+**Provider Hierarchy** in `AppProviders.tsx`:
+
+```typescript
+<QueryClientProvider>
+  <ModalProvider>
+    <AuthProvider>
+      <FlyersProvider>
+        <MasterItemsProvider>
+          <UserDataProvider>
+            {children}
+          </UserDataProvider>
+        </MasterItemsProvider>
+      </FlyersProvider>
+    </AuthProvider>
+  </ModalProvider>
+</QueryClientProvider>
+```
+
+## Key Files
+
+- `tailwind.config.js` - Tailwind CSS configuration
+- `src/index.css` - Tailwind CSS entry point
+- `src/components/` - Shared UI components
+- `src/components/icons/` - Icon component library (55 icons)
+- `src/providers/AppProviders.tsx` - Context provider composition
+- `src/hooks/useAppInitialization.ts` - Dark mode initialization
+
+## Component Guidelines
+
+### When to Create Shared Components
+
+Create a shared component in `src/components/` when:
+
+1. Used in 3+ places across the application
+2. Represents a reusable UI pattern (buttons, cards, modals)
+3. Has consistent styling/behavior requirements
+
+### Naming Conventions
+
+- **Components**: PascalCase (`LoadingSpinner.tsx`)
+- **Icons**: PascalCase with `Icon` suffix (`CheckCircleIcon.tsx`)
+- **Hooks**: camelCase with `use` prefix (`useModal.ts`)
+- **Contexts**: PascalCase with `Context` suffix (`AuthContext.tsx`)
+
+### Styling Guidelines
+
+1. Use Tailwind utility classes exclusively
+2. Include dark mode variants for all colors: `bg-white dark:bg-gray-800`
+3. Add focus states for interactive elements
+4. Use semantic color names from the design system
+
+## Future Enhancements (Storybook Setup)
+
+To complete ADR-012 implementation:
+
+1. **Install Storybook**:
+
+   ```bash
+   npx storybook@latest init
+   ```
+
+2. **Create stories for core components**:
+   - Button variants
+   - Form inputs (PasswordInput, etc.)
+   - Modal components
+   - Loading states
+   - Icon showcase
+
+3. **Add visual regression testing** with Chromatic or Percy
+
+4. **Document design tokens** formally in Storybook
+
+5. **Create component composition guidelines**
