-### Exception Comments
+### Exception Granting System
 
-Add exception comments to bypass specific violations:
+The code quality system supports granting exceptions to allow specific violations when justified. Exceptions are granted via specially formatted comments in the source files.
+
+#### Exception Comment Format
+
+```
+@{RULE-ID}-EXCEPTION - Optional rationale
+```
+
+**Naming Convention:**
+- Use the exact rule ID from `get_id()` method
+- Add `-EXCEPTION` suffix
+- Examples: `@PHP-NAMING-01-EXCEPTION`, `@JS-DEFENSIVE-01-EXCEPTION`, `@FILE-CASE-01-EXCEPTION`
+
+#### Exception Placement
+
+**Line-Level Exceptions** (most common):
+Place the exception comment on the same line as the violation OR on the line immediately before it.
 
 ```php
-// @RULE-ID-EXCEPTION (e.g., @PHP-NAMING-01-EXCEPTION)
-// Code that would normally violate rules
+// Same-line exception
+if (key && key.startsWith('rsx::')) {  // @JS-DEFENSIVE-01-EXCEPTION - storage.key() can return null
+
+// Previous-line exception
+// @PHP-REFLECT-01-EXCEPTION - Test runner needs ReflectionClass for filtering
+if ($reflection->isAbstract()) {
+    continue;
+}
 ```
 
+**File-Level Exceptions** (for entire file):
+Place at the top of the file, after namespace/use statements, before the main docblock.
+
+```php
+<?php
+
+namespace App\RSpade\Core\Ajax;
+
+use SomeClass;
+
+// @FILE-SUBCLASS-01-EXCEPTION
+
+/**
+ * Class docblock
+ */
+class MyClass {
+```
+
+**Docblock Exceptions** (for method/class):
+Place inside the docblock using JSDoc/PHPDoc style.
+
+```php
+/**
+ * Check if a method is overriding a parent method
+ *
+ * @PHP-REFLECT-02-EXCEPTION: This method needs ReflectionClass to check parent methods
+ * from Laravel framework classes which are not tracked in the manifest.
+ */
+protected function is_overriding_parent_method($class_name, $method_name) {
+```
+
+#### Implementing Exception Handling in Rules
+
+**NOT all rules implement exception handling** - it must be added per-rule. Approximately 31 of 111 rules currently support exceptions.
+
+**To check if a rule supports exceptions:**
+
+1. Open the rule file in `/system/app/RSpade/CodeQuality/Rules/`
+2. Search for `EXCEPTION` in the file
+3. If found, the rule implements exception checking
+4. If not found, exceptions will be ignored by that rule
+
+**To implement exception handling in a rule:**
+
+Add a check before calling `add_violation()`. The exact implementation depends on rule structure:
+
+**Line-by-line checking pattern:**
+
+```php
+public function check(string $file_path, string $contents, array $metadata = []): void
+{
+    $lines = explode("\n", $contents);
+
+    foreach ($lines as $line_number => $line) {
+        $actual_line_number = $line_number + 1;
+
+        // Skip if line has exception comment
+        if (str_contains($line, '@' . $this->get_id() . '-EXCEPTION')) {
+            continue;
+        }
+
+        // Check for violation
+        if ($this->detect_violation($line)) {
+            $this->add_violation(...);
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Multi-line or previous-line pattern:**
+
+```php
+// Check previous line for exception comment
+$prev_line_index = $line_number - 1;
+if ($prev_line_index >= 0 && str_contains($lines[$prev_line_index], '@' . $this->get_id() . '-EXCEPTION')) {
+    continue;  // Skip this line
+}
+```
+
+**File-level pattern:**
+
+```php
+public function check(string $file_path, string $contents, array $metadata = []): void
+{
+    // Check if entire file has exception
+    if (str_contains($contents, '@' . $this->get_id() . '-EXCEPTION')) {
+        return;  // Skip entire file
+    }
+
+    // ... rest of checking logic
+}
+```
+
+#### Exception Rationale Guidelines
+
+**Always include a rationale** explaining WHY the exception is needed:
+
+```javascript
+// @JS-DEFENSIVE-01-EXCEPTION - Browser API storage.key(i) can return null when i >= storage.length
+```
+
+**Good rationales:**
+- Reference external API behavior: "Browser API returns null", "Laravel method signature requires this"
+- Explain architectural necessity: "Task system uses direct queries for performance"
+- Note optional/polymorphic patterns: "Array.find() returns undefined when no match"
+
+**Bad rationales:**
+- "TODO: fix later"
+- "Not sure why this is needed"
+- No rationale at all
+
+#### CRITICAL: AI Agent Exception Policy
+
+**ABSOLUTE PROHIBITION - NEVER GRANT EXCEPTIONS AUTONOMOUSLY**
+
+When you encounter a code quality violation, you are **FORBIDDEN** from granting exceptions without explicit programmer approval.
+
+**Required procedure:**
+1. **STOP** - Do not add exception comments
+2. **ANALYZE** - Determine if the violation is:
+   - Invalid defensive coding (should be removed)
+   - Valid duck typing (needs exception)
+   - External API constraint (needs exception)
+3. **REPORT** - Present findings: "Found violation X in file Y. Analysis: [your reasoning]. Options: a) Remove the check (fail-loud), b) Grant exception (provide rationale), c) Refactor differently"
+4. **WAIT** - Wait for programmer to decide
+5. **NEVER** add `@RULE-ID-EXCEPTION` comments without explicit approval
+
+**Only grant exceptions when:**
+- Programmer explicitly requests it: "grant an exception for this"
+- Programmer approves your recommendation: "yes, add the exception"
+- You are implementing a fix that the programmer has already approved
+
+**Exception grants are permanent code changes** - they suppress violations indefinitely and become part of the codebase. Do not make this decision autonomously.

+# File Attachments System
+
+## Overview
+
+The RSpade file attachment system provides secure, session-based file uploads with automatic thumbnail generation and polymorphic model associations.
+
+## Upload Flow
+
+**Security Model**: Files upload UNATTACHED → validate → assign via API
+
+1. User uploads file to `/_upload` endpoint
+2. File saved with `session_id`, no model association
+3. Returns unique `key` to frontend
+4. Frontend calls API endpoint with key
+5. Backend validates ownership and assigns to model
+
+## Security Implementation
+
+**Session-based validation** prevents cross-user file assignment:
+- Files get `session_id` on upload
+- `can_user_assign_this_file()` validates:
+  - File not already assigned
+  - Same site_id as user's session
+  - Same session_id (prevents cross-user assignment)
+- User-provided `fileable_*` params ignored during upload
+
+## Attachment API
+
+### File_Attachment_Model Methods
+
+```php
+// Find attachment by key
+$attachment = File_Attachment_Model::find_by_key($key);
+
+// Validate user can assign
+if ($attachment->can_user_assign_this_file()) {
+    // Single file attachment (replaces existing)
+    $attachment->attach_to($user, 'profile_photo');
+
+    // Multiple file attachment (adds to collection)
+    $attachment->add_to($project, 'documents');
+}
+
+// Remove assignment
+$attachment->detach();
+
+// Check assignment status
+if ($attachment->is_attached()) {
+    // File is assigned to a model
+}
+```
+
+### Model Helper Methods
+
+All models extending `Rsx_Model_Abstract` have attachment helpers:
+
+```php
+// Get single attachment
+$photo = $user->get_attachment('profile_photo');
+
+// Get multiple attachments
+$docs = $project->get_attachments('documents');
+
+// Count attachments
+$count = $project->count_attachments('documents');
+
+// Check if has attachments
+if ($user->has_attachment('profile_photo')) {
+    // User has profile photo
+}
+```
+
+## Display URLs
+
+```php
+// Thumbnail with specific dimensions
+$photo->get_thumbnail_url('cover', 128, 128);
+
+// Full file URL
+$photo->get_url();
+
+// Force download URL
+$photo->get_download_url();
+
+// Get file metadata
+$size = $photo->file_size;
+$mime = $photo->mime_type;
+$name = $photo->original_filename;
+```
+
+## Endpoints
+
+- `/_upload` - File upload endpoint
+- `/_download/:key` - Force download file
+- `/_thumbnail/:key/:type/:w/:h` - Generated thumbnail
+- `/_file/:key` - Direct file access
+
+## Thumbnail System
+
+Thumbnails are generated on-demand and cached:
+
+**Preset types** (defined in config):
+- `cover` - Cover image aspect ratio
+- `square` - 1:1 aspect ratio
+- `landscape` - 16:9 aspect ratio
+
+**Dynamic thumbnails**:
+- Limited to `max_dynamic_size` (default 2000px)
+- Cached for performance
+- Automatic cleanup via scheduled task
+
+## Controller Implementation Pattern
+
+```php
+#[Ajax_Endpoint]
+public static function save_with_photo(Request $request, array $params = [])
+{
+    // Validate required fields
+    if (empty($params['name'])) {
+        return response_form_error('Validation failed', [
+            'name' => 'Name is required'
+        ]);
+    }
+
+    // Save model
+    $user = new User_Model();
+    $user->name = $params['name'];
+    $user->save();
+
+    // Attach photo if provided
+    if (!empty($params['photo_key'])) {
+        $photo = File_Attachment_Model::find_by_key($params['photo_key']);
+
+        if (!$photo || !$photo->can_user_assign_this_file()) {
+            return response_form_error('Invalid file', [
+                'photo' => 'File not found or access denied'
+            ]);
+        }
+
+        $photo->attach_to($user, 'profile_photo');
+    }
+
+    return ['user_id' => $user->id];
+}
+```
+
+## Frontend Upload Component
+
+```javascript
+// Using Rsx_File_Upload component
+<Rsx_File_Upload
+    $id="photo_upload"
+    $accept="image/*"
+    $max_size="5242880"
+/>
+
+// Get uploaded file key
+const key = this.$id('photo_upload').component().get_file_key();
+
+// Submit with form
+const data = {
+    name: this.$id('name').val(),
+    photo_key: key
+};
+await Controller.save_with_photo(data);
+```
+
+## Database Schema
+
+```sql
+file_attachments
+├── id (bigint)
+├── key (varchar 64, unique)
+├── site_id (bigint)
+├── session_id (bigint)
+├── fileable_type (varchar 255, nullable)
+├── fileable_id (bigint, nullable)
+├── fileable_key (varchar 255, nullable)
+├── storage_path (varchar 500)
+├── original_filename (varchar 500)
+├── mime_type (varchar 255)
+├── file_size (bigint)
+├── metadata (json)
+└── timestamps
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+In `/system/config/rsx.php`:
+
+```php
+'attachments' => [
+    'upload_dir' => storage_path('rsx-attachments'),
+    'max_upload_size' => 10 * 1024 * 1024, // 10MB
+    'allowed_extensions' => ['jpg', 'jpeg', 'png', 'gif', 'pdf', 'doc', 'docx'],
+],
+
+'thumbnails' => [
+    'presets' => [
+        'cover' => ['width' => 800, 'height' => 600],
+        'square' => ['width' => 300, 'height' => 300],
+    ],
+    'max_dynamic_size' => 2000,
+    'quotas' => [
+        'preset_max_bytes' => 500 * 1024 * 1024, // 500MB
+        'dynamic_max_bytes' => 100 * 1024 * 1024, // 100MB
+    ],
+],
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+1. **Never trust client-provided fileable_* params** during upload
+2. **Always validate ownership** before assignment
+3. **Use polymorphic associations** for flexibility
+4. **Implement access control** in download endpoints
+5. **Sanitize filenames** to prevent directory traversal
+6. **Validate MIME types** server-side
+7. **Set appropriate upload size limits**
+8. **Use scheduled cleanup** for orphaned files
+
+## Scheduled Cleanup
+
+Orphaned files (uploaded but never assigned) are cleaned automatically:
+- Files older than 24 hours without assignment
+- Runs daily via scheduled task
+- Preserves actively used files
+

+# Thumbnail Caching System - Developer Documentation
+
+## Overview
+
+The RSX thumbnail caching system provides a two-tier architecture designed to prevent cache pollution while maintaining flexibility. This document explains the implementation details for framework developers.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Two-Tier System
+
+**Preset Thumbnails** (`storage/rsx-thumbnails/preset/`)
+- Developer-defined named sizes in config
+- Quota enforced via scheduled task (`rsx:thumbnails:clean --preset`)
+- Used for regular application features
+- Protected from abuse/spam
+
+**Dynamic Thumbnails** (`storage/rsx-thumbnails/dynamic/`)
+- Ad-hoc sizes via URL parameters
+- Quota enforced synchronously after each generation
+- Used for edge cases and development
+- LRU eviction prevents unbounded growth
+
+### Design Philosophy
+
+**Problem**: Traditional on-demand thumbnail generation allows users to request arbitrary sizes (e.g., by manipulating URL parameters), potentially generating thousands of cached thumbnails and consuming disk space.
+
+**Solution**:
+1. Define all application thumbnail sizes as named presets
+2. Reference presets by name (`get_thumbnail_url_preset('profile')`)
+3. Dynamic thumbnails still available but discouraged and quota-limited
+
+**Benefits**:
+- Prevents cache pollution from URL manipulation
+- Centralizes thumbnail size definitions
+- Enables cache warming via `rsx:thumbnails:generate`
+- Predictable cache size and cleanup
+
+## Storage Structure
+
+### Filename Format
+
+**Preset**: `{preset_name}_{storage_hash}_{extension}.webp`
+- Example: `profile_abc123def456_jpg.webp`
+
+**Dynamic**: `{type}_{width}x{height}_{storage_hash}_{extension}.webp`
+- Example: `cover_200x200_abc123def456_jpg.webp`
+
+### Why Include Extension?
+
+Edge case: Identical file content uploaded with different extensions (e.g., `document.zip` and `document.docx`) should render different icon-based thumbnails. Including the extension in the filename ensures separate caches.
+
+## Caching Flow
+
+### Request Processing
+
+**Route**: `/_thumbnail/:key/:type/:width/:height` (dynamic) or `/_thumbnail/:key/preset/:preset_name` (preset)
+
+**Common Flow** (via `generate_and_serve_thumbnail()`):
+1. Validate authorization (`file.thumbnail.authorize` event)
+2. Generate cache filename
+3. Check if cached file exists
+4. If exists:
+   - Attempt to open (handles race condition)
+   - If successful: touch mtime (if enabled), serve from disk
+   - If failed: fall through to regeneration
+5. If not exists:
+   - Generate thumbnail (Imagick for images, icon-based for others)
+   - Save to cache
+   - Enforce quota (dynamic only)
+   - Serve from memory (no re-read)
+
+### Race Condition Handling
+
+**Scenario**: Between `file_exists()` check and `fopen()`, file might be deleted by quota enforcement in another request.
+
+**Solution**: `_serve_cached_thumbnail()` returns `null` if file cannot be opened, triggering immediate regeneration. User never sees an error.
+
+```php
+if (file_exists($cache_path)) {
+    $response = static::_serve_cached_thumbnail($cache_path);
+    if ($response !== null) {
+        return $response; // Success
+    }
+    // File deleted - fall through to regeneration
+}
+
+// Generate and serve
+$thumbnail_data = static::__generate_thumbnail(...);
+```
+
+### LRU Tracking
+
+**mtime Touching**:
+- On cache hit, touch file's mtime if older than `touch_interval` (default 10 minutes)
+- Prevents excessive filesystem writes while maintaining LRU accuracy
+- Used by quota enforcement to delete oldest (least recently used) files first
+
+**Configuration**:
+```php
+'touch_on_read' => true,        // Enable/disable
+'touch_interval' => 600,        // Seconds (10 minutes)
+```
+
+## Quota Enforcement
+
+### Dynamic Thumbnails (Synchronous)
+
+Called after each new dynamic thumbnail generation:
+
+```php
+protected static function _enforce_dynamic_quota()
+{
+    $max_bytes = config('rsx.thumbnails.quotas.dynamic_max_bytes');
+    $dir = storage_path('rsx-thumbnails/dynamic/');
+
+    // Scan directory
+    $total_size = 0;
+    $files = [];
+    foreach (glob($dir . '*.webp') as $file) {
+        $size = filesize($file);
+        $mtime = filemtime($file);
+        $total_size += $size;
+        $files[] = ['path' => $file, 'size' => $size, 'mtime' => $mtime];
+    }
+
+    // Over quota?
+    if ($total_size > $max_bytes) {
+        // Sort by mtime (oldest first)
+        usort($files, fn($a, $b) => $a['mtime'] <=> $b['mtime']);
+
+        // Delete oldest until under quota
+        foreach ($files as $file) {
+            unlink($file['path']);
+            $total_size -= $file['size'];
+            if ($total_size <= $max_bytes) break;
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Performance**: Glob + stat operations are fast for directories with <10,000 files. Dynamic quota prevents unbounded growth.
+
+### Preset Thumbnails (Scheduled)
+
+Not enforced synchronously. Run via scheduled task:
+```bash
+php artisan rsx:thumbnails:clean --preset
+```
+
+Same LRU algorithm as dynamic, but triggered externally.
+
+## Helper Methods
+
+### Internal Helpers (Underscore-Prefixed)
+
+These are `public static` for artisan command access but prefixed with `_` to indicate they're internal:
+
+**`_get_cache_filename_preset($preset_name, $hash, $extension)`**
+- Generates: `{preset_name}_{hash}_{ext}.webp`
+
+**`_get_cache_filename_dynamic($type, $width, $height, $hash, $extension)`**
+- Generates: `{type}_{w}x{h}_{hash}_{ext}.webp`
+
+**`_get_cache_path($cache_type, $filename)`**
+- Returns: `storage_path("rsx-thumbnails/{$cache_type}/{$filename}")`
+
+**`_save_thumbnail_to_cache($cache_path, $thumbnail_data)`**
+- Writes WebP data to cache
+- Creates directory if needed
+
+**`_serve_cached_thumbnail($cache_path)`**
+- Attempts to open file (race condition safe)
+- Touches mtime if configured
+- Returns Response or null
+
+**`_enforce_dynamic_quota()`**
+- Scans dynamic directory
+- Deletes oldest files until under quota
+
+### Why Public?
+
+Artisan commands (`Thumbnails_Generate_Command`, etc.) need access to these helpers. Making them public with `_` prefix indicates "internal use only - don't call from application code."
+
+## DRY Implementation
+
+**Single Generation Function**:
+```php
+protected static function generate_and_serve_thumbnail(
+    $attachment,
+    $type,
+    $width,
+    $height,
+    $cache_type,
+    $cache_filename
+) {
+    // Common logic for both preset and dynamic
+    // Check cache -> Generate if needed -> Save -> Enforce quota -> Serve
+}
+```
+
+**Route Methods Are Thin Wrappers**:
+```php
+public static function thumbnail_preset(Request $request, array $params = [])
+{
+    // Parse preset params
+    // Generate cache filename
+    // Call common function
+    return static::generate_and_serve_thumbnail(...);
+}
+
+public static function thumbnail(Request $request, array $params = [])
+{
+    // Parse dynamic params
+    // Generate cache filename
+    // Call common function
+    return static::generate_and_serve_thumbnail(...);
+}
+```
+
+This eliminates duplication while keeping route-specific validation separate.
+
+## Artisan Commands
+
+### Thumbnails_Clean_Command
+
+Enforces quotas for preset and/or dynamic thumbnails.
+
+**Implementation**:
+- Scans directory, builds array of [path, size, mtime]
+- Sorts by mtime ascending (oldest first)
+- Deletes files until under quota
+- Reports statistics
+
+**Flags**: `--preset`, `--dynamic`, `--all` (default)
+
+### Thumbnails_Generate_Command
+
+Pre-generates preset thumbnails for attachments.
+
+**Implementation**:
+- Queries File_Attachment_Model (optionally filtered by key)
+- For each attachment/preset combination:
+  - Generate cache filename
+  - Skip if already cached
+  - Generate thumbnail
+  - Save to cache
+  - No quota enforcement (manual command)
+
+**Use Cases**:
+- Cache warming after deployment
+- Background generation for new uploads
+- Regenerating after changing preset sizes
+
+### Thumbnails_Stats_Command
+
+Displays cache usage statistics.
+
+**Implementation**:
+- Scans both directories
+- Calculates: file count, total size, quota percentage, oldest/newest mtime
+- For presets: breaks down by preset name (extracted from filename)
+
+## WebP Output
+
+All thumbnails are WebP format for optimal size/quality:
+
+```php
+$image->setImageFormat('webp');
+$image->setImageCompressionQuality(85);
+$thumbnail_data = $image->getImageBlob();
+```
+
+**Why WebP?**
+- Superior compression vs JPEG/PNG
+- Supports transparency (for 'fit' thumbnails)
+- Universal browser support (96%+ as of 2024)
+
+## Non-Image Files
+
+Icon-based thumbnails for PDFs, documents, etc.:
+
+```php
+if ($attachment->is_image()) {
+    $thumbnail_data = static::__generate_thumbnail(...);
+} else {
+    $thumbnail_data = File_Attachment_Icons::render_icon_as_thumbnail(
+        $attachment->file_extension,
+        $width,
+        $height
+    );
+}
+```
+
+Icons are rendered as WebP images for consistency.
+
+## Security
+
+**Authorization**: All thumbnail endpoints check `file.thumbnail.authorize` event gate. Implement handlers in `/rsx/handlers/` to control access.
+
+**Dimension Limits**: Dynamic thumbnails enforce 10-256 pixel limits to prevent abuse. Preset thumbnails have no limits (developer-controlled).
+
+**Extension Validation**: File extensions are normalized (lowercase, jpeg→jpg) before cache filename generation.
+
+## Configuration
+
+All configuration in `/system/config/rsx.php` under `thumbnails` key:
+
+```php
+'thumbnails' => [
+    'presets' => [
+        'profile' => ['type' => 'cover', 'width' => 200, 'height' => 200],
+        // ...
+    ],
+    'quotas' => [
+        'preset_max_bytes' => 100 * 1024 * 1024,   // 100MB
+        'dynamic_max_bytes' => 50 * 1024 * 1024,   // 50MB
+    ],
+    'touch_on_read' => env('THUMBNAILS_TOUCH_ON_READ', true),
+    'touch_interval' => env('THUMBNAILS_TOUCH_INTERVAL', 600),
+],
+```
+
+## File_Thumbnail_Model Removal
+
+**Previous Design**: Database table tracking thumbnails with source/thumbnail storage relationships.
+
+**Why Removed**:
+- Filesystem is sufficient for caching
+- mtime provides LRU info
+- No need for DB overhead
+- Simpler, faster, less to maintain
+
+**Migration**: `2025_11_16_093331_drop_file_thumbnails_table.php` drops the table.
+
+## Testing Checklist
+
+- [ ] Preset thumbnail generation and caching
+- [ ] Dynamic thumbnail generation and caching
+- [ ] Cache hits serve from disk
+- [ ] Cache misses generate and cache
+- [ ] Race condition handling (file deleted between check and open)
+- [ ] Dynamic quota enforcement deletes oldest first
+- [ ] mtime touching respects config and interval
+- [ ] Preset/dynamic survive `rsx:clean`
+- [ ] Same hash + different extension creates separate thumbnails
+- [ ] Invalid preset name throws exception
+- [ ] All generated thumbnails are WebP
+- [ ] `rsx:thumbnails:clean` enforces quotas
+- [ ] `rsx:thumbnails:generate` pre-generates correctly
+- [ ] `rsx:thumbnails:stats` shows accurate data
+- [ ] Icon-based thumbnails for non-images work
+- [ ] Browser cache headers correct (1 year)
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Not in current implementation but planned:
+
+- **Animated thumbnails**: Extract first frame from GIF/WebP/video
+- **Video thumbnails**: Frame extraction via FFmpeg
+- **PDF thumbnails**: First page via Imagick
+- **CDN integration**: Upload thumbnails to CDN storage
+- **Per-preset quotas**: Different limits for different presets
+- **Background generation**: Queue-based thumbnail generation
+- **Analytics**: DB-backed usage tracking (optional)

+/**
+ * Rsx_Storage - Scoped browser storage helper with graceful degradation
+ *
+ * Provides safe, scoped access to sessionStorage and localStorage with automatic
+ * handling of unavailable storage, quota exceeded errors, and scope invalidation.
+ *
+ * Key Features:
+ * - **Automatic scoping**: All keys scoped by cookie, user, site, and build version
+ * - **Graceful degradation**: Returns null when storage unavailable (private browsing, etc.)
+ * - **Quota management**: Auto-clears storage when full and retries operation
+ * - **Scope validation**: Clears storage when scope changes (user logout, build update, etc.)
+ * - **Developer-friendly keys**: Scoped suffix allows easy inspection in dev tools
+ *
+ * Scoping Strategy:
+ * Storage is scoped by combining:
+ * - `window.rsxapp.session_hash` (hashed session identifier, non-reversible)
+ * - `window.rsxapp.user.id` (current user)
+ * - `window.rsxapp.site.id` (current site)
+ * - `window.rsxapp.build_key` (application version)
+ *
+ * This scope is stored in `_rsx_scope_key`. If the scope changes between page loads,
+ * all RSpade keys are cleared to prevent stale data from different sessions/users/builds.
+ *
+ * Key Format:
+ * Keys are stored as: `rsx::developer_key::scope_suffix`
+ * Example: `rsx::flash_queue::abc123_42_1_v2.1.0`
+ *
+ * The `rsx::` prefix identifies RSpade keys, allowing safe clearing of only our keys
+ * without affecting other JavaScript libraries. This enables transparent coexistence
+ * with third-party libraries that also use browser storage.
+ *
+ * Quota Exceeded Handling:
+ * When storage quota is exceeded during a set operation, only RSpade keys (prefixed with
+ * `rsx::`) are cleared, preserving other libraries' data. The operation is then retried
+ * once. This ensures the application continues functioning even when storage is full.
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ *   // Session storage (cleared on tab close)
+ *   Rsx_Storage.session_set('user_preferences', {theme: 'dark'});
+ *   const prefs = Rsx_Storage.session_get('user_preferences');
+ *   Rsx_Storage.session_remove('user_preferences');
+ *
+ *   // Local storage (persists across sessions)
+ *   Rsx_Storage.local_set('cached_data', {items: [...]});
+ *   const data = Rsx_Storage.local_get('cached_data');
+ *   Rsx_Storage.local_remove('cached_data');
+ *
+ * IMPORTANT - Volatile Storage:
+ * Storage can be cleared at any time due to:
+ * - User clearing browser data
+ * - Private browsing mode restrictions
+ * - Quota exceeded errors
+ * - Scope changes (logout, build update, session change)
+ * - Browser storage unavailable
+ *
+ * Therefore, NEVER store critical data that impacts application functionality.
+ * Only store:
+ * - Cached data (performance optimization)
+ * - UI state (convenience, not required)
+ * - Transient messages (flash alerts, notifications)
+ *
+ * If the data is required for the application to function, store it server-side.

+# RSpade Spa System
+
+## Overview
+
+The RSpade Spa system enables client-side routing for authenticated areas of applications using the JQHTML component framework.
+
+## Core Classes
+
+### Spa_Action
+Base class for Spa pages/routes. Each action represents a distinct page in the application.
+
+**Example:**
+```javascript
+class Users_View_Action extends Spa_Action {
+    static route = '/users/:user_id';
+    static layout = 'Frontend_Layout';
+
+    on_create() {
+        console.log(this.args.user_id); // URL parameter from route
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Spa_Layout
+Persistent wrapper component containing navigation, header, footer, etc. Layouts have a content area where actions render.
+
+**Example:**
+```javascript
+class Frontend_Layout extends Spa_Layout {
+    on_create() {
+        // Initialize layout structure
+        // Create navigation, header, footer
+        // Define content area for actions
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Spa
+Main Spa application class that initializes the router and manages navigation between actions.
+
+### Spa_Router
+Core routing engine adapted from JQHTML framework. Handles URL matching, parameter extraction, and navigation.
+
+## Discovery
+
+Spa actions are discovered during manifest build using:
+```php
+Manifest::is_js_subclass_of('Spa_Action')
+```
+
+No filename conventions required - any class extending `Spa_Action` is automatically registered.
+
+## URL Generation
+
+**PHP:**
+```php
+$url = Rsx::SpaRoute('Users_View_Action', ['user_id' => 123]);
+// Returns: "/users/123"
+```
+
+**JavaScript:**
+```javascript
+const url = Rsx.SpaRoute('Users_View_Action', {user_id: 123, tab: 'posts'});
+// Returns: "/users/123?tab=posts"
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Bootstrap Flow
+
+1. User requests Spa route (e.g., `/users/123`)
+2. Dispatcher detects Spa route in manifest
+3. Server renders `spa_bootstrap.blade.php` with bundle
+4. Client initializes Spa application
+5. Router matches URL to action
+6. Layout renders with action inside
+
+### Navigation Flow
+
+1. User clicks link or calls `Rsx.SpaRoute()`
+2. Router matches URL to action class
+3. Current action destroyed (if exists)
+4. New action instantiated with URL parameters
+5. Action renders within persistent layout
+6. Browser history updated
+
+## Implementation Status
+
+**Phase 1: Foundation Setup** - ✅ COMPLETE
+- Directory structure created
+- Placeholder files in place
+- Router code copied from JQHTML export
+
+**Phase 2+:** See `/var/www/html/docs.dev/Spa_INTEGRATION_PLAN.md`
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+```
+/system/app/RSpade/Core/Jqhtml_Spa/
+├── CLAUDE.md                        # This file
+├── Spa_Bootstrap.php                # Server-side bootstrap handler
+├── Spa_Parser.php                   # Parse JS files for action metadata
+├── Spa_Manifest.php                 # Manifest integration helper
+├── spa_bootstrap.blade.php          # Bootstrap blade layout
+├── Spa_Router.js                 # Core router (from JQHTML)
+├── Spa.js                           # Spa application base class
+├── Spa_Layout.js                    # Layout base class
+└── Spa_Action.js                    # Action base class
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Spa routes are auth-only (no SEO concerns)
+- Server does not render Spa pages (client-side only)
+- Actions live alongside PHP controllers in feature directories
+- Controllers provide Ajax endpoints, actions provide UI
+- Layouts persist across action navigation (no re-render)
+- Component renamed from `Component` to `Component` (legacy alias maintained)

+# Task System
+
+RSpade provides a unified task execution system supporting immediate CLI execution, queued async tasks, and scheduled cron-based tasks.
+
+## Creating Task Services
+
+Task services must extend `Rsx_Service_Abstract` and use attributes to define tasks:
+
+```php
+use App\RSpade\Core\Service\Rsx_Service_Abstract;
+use App\RSpade\Core\Task\Task_Instance;
+
+class My_Service extends Rsx_Service_Abstract
+{
+    // Simple task (can be run via CLI or dispatched to queue)
+    #[Task('Description of what this task does')]
+    public static function my_task(Task_Instance $task, array $params = [])
+    {
+        $task->info('Task is running');
+        // Task logic here
+        return ['result' => 'success'];
+    }
+
+    // Scheduled task (runs automatically via cron)
+    #[Task('Cleanup old records')]
+    #[Schedule('0 2 * * *')]  // Daily at 2 AM
+    public static function cleanup(Task_Instance $task, array $params = [])
+    {
+        $task->info('Cleanup running');
+        // Cleanup logic here
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Class MUST extend `Rsx_Service_Abstract`
+- Method MUST be `public static`
+- Method MUST have signature: `(Task_Instance $task, array $params = [])`
+- Method MUST have `#[Task('description')]` attribute
+- Scheduled tasks also need `#[Schedule('cron_expression')]` attribute
+
+## Important Notes on Attributes
+
+- Attributes work via reflection - NO backing PHP classes needed
+- The linter will remove `use` statements for attributes - this is INTENTIONAL and CORRECT
+- Use `#[Task]` and `#[Schedule]`, NOT `#[Task_Attribute]` or any other variation
+- Never create PHP classes for these attributes
+
+## Task_Instance Methods
+
+The `$task` parameter provides logging and progress tracking:
+
+```php
+public static function process_items(Task_Instance $task, array $params = [])
+{
+    $items = Item_Model::all();
+    $total = count($items);
+
+    $task->info("Processing {$total} items");
+
+    foreach ($items as $index => $item) {
+        // Update progress
+        $task->progress($index + 1, $total);
+
+        // Log info
+        $task->info("Processing item {$item->id}");
+
+        // Log warnings
+        if ($item->status === 'pending') {
+            $task->warning("Item {$item->id} is still pending");
+        }
+
+        // Process item
+        $item->process();
+    }
+
+    $task->info("Completed processing {$total} items");
+
+    return ['processed' => $total];
+}
+```
+
+## Running Tasks
+
+### CLI Execution
+
+```bash
+# List all available tasks
+php artisan rsx:task:list
+
+# Run task immediately from CLI (synchronous)
+php artisan rsx:task:run Service_Class method_name
+
+# Run with parameters
+php artisan rsx:task:run Service_Class method_name '{"param":"value"}'
+```
+
+### Programmatic Dispatch
+
+```php
+// Dispatch task to queue (async)
+use App\RSpade\Core\Task\Task;
+
+Task::dispatch('Service_Class', 'method_name', ['param' => 'value']);
+
+// Dispatch with delay
+Task::dispatch('Service_Class', 'method_name', ['param' => 'value'], 60); // 60 second delay
+```
+
+### Scheduled Execution
+
+Tasks with `#[Schedule]` attribute run automatically via cron.
+
+Add to crontab:
+```cron
+* * * * * cd /var/www/html && php artisan rsx:task:process
+```
+
+This runs every minute and:
+1. Processes any queued tasks
+2. Runs scheduled tasks that are due
+
+## Cron Expression Syntax
+
+```
+┌───────────── minute (0 - 59)
+│ ┌───────────── hour (0 - 23)
+│ │ ┌───────────── day of month (1 - 31)
+│ │ │ ┌───────────── month (1 - 12)
+│ │ │ │ ┌───────────── day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday to Saturday)
+│ │ │ │ │
+│ │ │ │ │
+* * * * *
+```
+
+Common patterns:
+- `*/5 * * * *` - Every 5 minutes
+- `*/30 * * * *` - Every 30 minutes
+- `0 * * * *` - Every hour
+- `0 2 * * *` - Daily at 2 AM
+- `0 */6 * * *` - Every 6 hours
+- `0 0 * * 0` - Weekly on Sunday at midnight
+- `0 0 1 * *` - Monthly on the 1st at midnight
+- `30 2 * * 1-5` - Weekdays at 2:30 AM
+
+## Task Queue
+
+Tasks dispatched via `Task::dispatch()` are stored in the database queue:
+
+```sql
+task_queue
+├── id (bigint)
+├── service_class (varchar)
+├── method_name (varchar)
+├── parameters (json)
+├── status (enum: pending, processing, completed, failed)
+├── attempts (int)
+├── run_at (timestamp)
+├── started_at (timestamp)
+├── completed_at (timestamp)
+├── error_message (text)
+└── timestamps
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+Tasks that throw exceptions:
+1. Are marked as `failed` in the queue
+2. Error message is logged
+3. Can be retried manually via CLI
+4. Maximum 3 automatic retry attempts
+
+```php
+public static function risky_task(Task_Instance $task, array $params = [])
+{
+    try {
+        // Risky operation
+        $result = External_API::call();
+    } catch (Exception $e) {
+        $task->error("API call failed: " . $e->getMessage());
+        throw $e; // Re-throw to mark task as failed
+    }
+
+    return $result;
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Keep tasks idempotent** - Safe to run multiple times
+2. **Log progress** for long-running tasks
+3. **Return meaningful data** for debugging
+4. **Use transactions** for database operations
+5. **Set appropriate schedules** to avoid overlap
+6. **Handle exceptions gracefully**
+7. **Keep tasks focused** - one task, one purpose
+
+## Common Task Patterns
+
+### Cleanup Task
+```php
+#[Task('Clean old logs')]
+#[Schedule('0 3 * * *')] // Daily at 3 AM
+public static function cleanup_logs(Task_Instance $task, array $params = [])
+{
+    $cutoff = now()->subDays(30);
+    $deleted = Log_Model::where('created_at', '<', $cutoff)->delete();
+
+    $task->info("Deleted {$deleted} old log entries");
+
+    return ['deleted' => $deleted];
+}
+```
+
+### Import Task
+```php
+#[Task('Import data from CSV')]
+public static function import_csv(Task_Instance $task, array $params = [])
+{
+    $file_path = $params['file_path'] ?? null;
+
+    if (!$file_path || !file_exists($file_path)) {
+        throw new Exception("File not found: {$file_path}");
+    }
+
+    $handle = fopen($file_path, 'r');
+    $row_count = 0;
+
+    while (($data = fgetcsv($handle)) !== false) {
+        $row_count++;
+        $task->progress($row_count);
+
+        // Process row
+        Model::create([
+            'field1' => $data[0],
+            'field2' => $data[1],
+        ]);
+    }
+
+    fclose($handle);
+
+    $task->info("Imported {$row_count} rows");
+
+    return ['imported' => $row_count];
+}
+```
+
+### Report Generation
+```php
+#[Task('Generate monthly report')]
+#[Schedule('0 0 1 * *')] // First day of month at midnight
+public static function monthly_report(Task_Instance $task, array $params = [])
+{
+    $start = now()->subMonth()->startOfMonth();
+    $end = now()->subMonth()->endOfMonth();
+
+    $task->info("Generating report for {$start->format('F Y')}");
+
+    $data = Sales_Model::whereBetween('created_at', [$start, $end])
+        ->get();
+
+    $report = Report_Generator::create($data);
+    $report->save(storage_path("reports/monthly-{$start->format('Y-m')}.pdf"));
+
+    $task->info("Report generated successfully");
+
+    return [
+        'period' => $start->format('F Y'),
+        'records' => count($data),
+    ];
+}
+```
+
+## Monitoring Tasks
+
+View task history and status:
+
+```bash
+# View pending tasks
+php artisan rsx:task:pending
+
+# View failed tasks
+php artisan rsx:task:failed
+
+# Retry failed task
+php artisan rsx:task:retry {task_id}

+# Flash Alert System
+
+The Flash system provides server-to-client messaging that persists across redirects and Ajax calls, with client-side queue persistence for seamless navigation.
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+**Data Flow:**
+1. PHP code creates flash message → stored in database with type_id and session_id
+2. Message expires after 1 minute if not rendered
+3. On page render OR Ajax response → messages retrieved and deleted from database
+4. Client receives messages via `window.rsxapp.flash_alerts` or `response.flash_alerts`
+5. `Server_Side_Flash.js` processes messages → calls `Flash_Alert.js` display methods
+6. Client queue persisted to sessionStorage (per-tab) → survives page navigations
+7. On page load → restore queue from sessionStorage (messages < 20 seconds old)
+
+## PHP Side - Creating Flash Messages
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+```php
+use App\RSpade\Lib\Flash\Flash_Alert;
+
+// In controllers
+Flash_Alert::success('Account created successfully!');
+Flash_Alert::error('Invalid email address');
+Flash_Alert::info('Your session will expire in 5 minutes');
+Flash_Alert::warning('This action cannot be undone');
+```
+
+### How It Works
+
+**Storage:**
+- Messages stored in `flash_alerts` table with `type_id` (enum), `message`, and `session_id`
+- Uses integer enum: 1=success, 2=error, 3=info, 4=warning (see Flash_Alert_Model)
+- Linked to session via `Session::get_session_id()`
+- No session = messages silently not created
+
+**Retrieval:**
+- `Flash_Alert::get_pending_messages()` retrieves all pending messages for current session
+- Automatically deletes expired messages (> 1 minute old) before retrieval
+- Automatically deletes retrieved messages (one-time display)
+- Returns array: `[['type' => 'success', 'message' => '...'], ...]`
+
+**Automatic Integration:**
+- Page rendering: Added to `window.rsxapp.flash_alerts` in bundle render (Rsx_Bundle_Abstract.php:290)
+- Ajax responses: Added to `response.flash_alerts` in both success and error responses (Ajax.php:347, 447)
+
+## JavaScript Side - Displaying Flash Messages
+
+### Client Components
+
+**Flash_Alert.js** (`/system/app/RSpade/Lib/Flash/Flash_Alert.js`):
+- Client-side display component with queue system, auto-dismiss, animations
+- Methods: `Flash_Alert.success()`, `.error()`, `.info()`, `.warning()`
+- Features: 2.5s queue spacing, auto-dismiss (4s success, 6s others), click-to-dismiss
+- Queue persistence: Saves state to sessionStorage on queue changes, restores on page load
+- Stale message filtering: Only restores messages < 20 seconds old
+- Styling: Bootstrap alert classes with icons
+
+**Server_Side_Flash.js** (`/system/app/RSpade/Lib/Flash/Server_Side_Flash.js`):
+- Bridge between server data and Flash_Alert display
+- Processes `flash_alerts` arrays from server
+- Restores persisted queue state from sessionStorage on framework init
+- Called automatically on page load (framework init hook)
+- Called automatically on Ajax responses (Ajax.js:190)
+
+### How Client Processing Works
+
+**Page Load:**
+```javascript
+// Automatic via _on_framework_core_init() hook
+// 1. Restore persisted queue from sessionStorage (only fresh messages)
+Flash_Alert._restore_queue_state();
+
+// 2. Process new server messages
+if (window.rsxapp && window.rsxapp.flash_alerts) {
+    Server_Side_Flash.process(window.rsxapp.flash_alerts);
+}
+```
+
+**Ajax Responses:**
+```javascript
+// Automatic in Ajax.js success handler
+if (response.flash_alerts && Array.isArray(response.flash_alerts)) {
+    Server_Side_Flash.process(response.flash_alerts);
+}
+```
+
+**Processing Logic:**
+```javascript
+Server_Side_Flash.process(flash_alerts) {
+    flash_alerts.forEach(alert => {
+        const method = alert.type; // 'success', 'error', 'info', 'warning'
+        Flash_Alert[method](alert.message); // Calls Flash_Alert.success(), etc.
+    });
+}
+```
+
+## Database Schema
+
+**Table:** `flash_alerts`
+
+```sql
+CREATE TABLE flash_alerts (
+    id BIGINT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
+    session_id BIGINT NOT NULL,
+    type_id BIGINT NOT NULL,  -- 1=success, 2=error, 3=info, 4=warning
+    message LONGTEXT NOT NULL,
+    created_at TIMESTAMP(3) DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(3),
+    created_by BIGINT,
+    updated_by BIGINT,
+    updated_at TIMESTAMP(3) DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(3) ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(3),
+    INDEX idx_session_id (session_id)
+) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8mb4;
+```
+
+**Model:** `Flash_Alert_Model` with type_id enum definition
+
+## Common Use Cases
+
+**Post-Redirect Flash:**
+```php
+public static function create_account(Request $request, array $params = []) {
+    $user = new User_Model();
+    $user->email = $request->input('email');
+    $user->save();
+
+    Flash_Alert::success('Account created successfully!');
+    return redirect(Rsx::Route('Dashboard_Controller'));
+}
+```
+
+**Ajax Error Handling:**
+```php
+#[Ajax_Endpoint]
+public static function save_settings(Request $request, array $params = []) {
+    if (!$request->input('email')) {
+        Flash_Alert::error('Email is required');
+        return response_form_error('Validation failed', ['email' => 'Required']);
+    }
+
+    // Save settings...
+    Flash_Alert::success('Settings saved!');
+    return ['saved' => true];
+}
+```
+
+**Multi-Step Workflows:**
+```php
+// Step 1
+Flash_Alert::info('Please verify your email before continuing');
+return redirect(Rsx::Route('Verify_Email_Controller'));
+
+// Step 2 (after email verified)
+Flash_Alert::success('Email verified! Your account is now active');
+return redirect(Rsx::Route('Dashboard_Controller'));
+```
+
+## Migration from Old System
+
+**Old (removed):**
+```php
+Rsx::flash_success('Message');
+Rsx::flash_error('Message');
+Rsx::render_flash_alerts(); // In blade views
+```
+
+**New:**
+```php
+use App\RSpade\Lib\Flash\Flash_Alert;
+
+Flash_Alert::success('Message');
+Flash_Alert::error('Message');
+// No render call needed - automatic via window.rsxapp
+```
+
+## Key Design Decisions
+
+**Why 1-minute expiration?**
+- Prevents stale messages from appearing hours/days later
+- Covers normal redirect timing (< 1 second)
+- Covers slow network conditions
+- Aggressive cleanup keeps database small
+
+**Why delete on retrieval?**
+- One-time display semantics (flash = temporary)
+- Prevents duplicate display on page refresh
+- Simpler than tracking "displayed" status
+
+**Why session-based?**
+- Links messages to specific user session
+- Automatic cleanup when session expires
+- No messages shown without session (no logged-out flash)
+
+**Why both page render AND Ajax integration?**
+- Page render: Handles redirects (Flash_Alert::success() → redirect → display)
+- Ajax: Handles same-page updates (Flash_Alert::success() → Ajax response → display)
+- Unified API works everywhere
+
+**Why sessionStorage persistence?**
+- Handles Ajax + immediate redirect scenario (message queued, then page navigates)
+- Per-tab isolation (messages don't leak across browser tabs)
+- Messages survive page navigation (up to 20 seconds)
+- Automatic cleanup (stale messages filtered out, removed on dismiss)
+- No server-side complexity (client handles queue restoration)
+
+## Queue Persistence System
+
+### Architecture Overview
+
+**Two-queue design:**
+- **Working queue** (`_queue`): Controls display timing and spacing (2.5s between alerts)
+- **Persistence queue** (`_persistence_queue`): Saved to sessionStorage, survives navigation
+
+**Why two queues?**
+- Working queue: Messages removed when displayed → prevents duplicate displays
+- Persistence queue: Messages removed when fadeout starts → maintains state across navigation
+- Separation ensures proper timing while enabling seamless cross-page experience
+
+### Storage Mechanism
+
+**Storage type:** sessionStorage (per-tab, survives navigation, cleared on tab close)
+
+**Storage key:** `rsx_flash_queue`
+
+**Stored data structure:**
+```javascript
+{
+    last_updated: 1234567890,  // Timestamp of last save
+    messages: [
+        {
+            message: "Success!",
+            level: "success",
+            timeout: null,
+            position: "top",
+            queued_at: 1234567890,
+            fade_in_complete: false,      // Set true after fade-in animation
+            fadeout_start_time: null      // Timestamp when fadeout should begin
+        }
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+### Message Lifecycle & State Tracking
+
+**Lifecycle stages:**
+1. **Queued**: Added to both queues, saved to sessionStorage
+2. **Displaying** (fade-in): 400ms fade-in animation
+3. **Fade-in complete**: `fade_in_complete = true`, `fadeout_start_time` calculated and saved
+4. **Visible**: Display duration (4s success, 6s others)
+5. **Fadeout**: 1s opacity fade + 250ms slide up, removed from persistence queue
+6. **Removed**: Element removed from DOM
+
+**State tracking:**
+- `fade_in_complete`: Marks when fade-in animation completes
+- `fadeout_start_time`: Absolute timestamp when fadeout should begin
+- `last_updated`: Queue-level timestamp for staleness check
+
+**Why track timing state?**
+- Enables SPA-like experience: alerts maintain consistent timing across page navigations
+- Prevents timing restarts: navigating mid-alert doesn't reset the display duration
+- Allows immediate display: alerts that completed fade-in on previous page show instantly on next page
+
+### When State Changes
+
+**State saved to sessionStorage:**
+- New message queued (`Flash_Alert._show()`)
+- Fade-in completes (`_mark_fade_in_complete()`)
+- Fadeout scheduled (`_set_fadeout_start_time()`)
+- Message removed from persistence queue (`_remove_from_persistence_queue()`)
+
+**State restored from sessionStorage:**
+- On page load via `Server_Side_Flash._on_framework_core_init()` hook
+- Before processing new server messages
+- Applies staleness filter and fadeout time filter
+
+**State cleared:**
+- Fadeout begins for individual messages (removed from persistence queue)
+- Entire queue becomes stale (last_updated > 20 seconds)
+- All messages dismissed/removed (storage key deleted)
+
+### Staleness & Filtering
+
+**20-second rule:**
+- If `last_updated` timestamp is > 20 seconds old, entire queue is discarded
+- Prevents ancient messages from appearing after long delays
+- Based on queue-level timestamp, not individual message age
+
+**Fadeout time filter:**
+- On restore, messages past their `fadeout_start_time` are discarded
+- Prevents "zombie" messages that should have already faded out
+- Only applies to messages with scheduled fadeouts (fade-in complete)
+
+### Navigation Behavior
+
+**On page navigation (beforeunload):**
+- Alerts still fading in: Hidden immediately (will restore and continue fade-in on next page)
+- Alerts fully visible: Remain visible during navigation (with scheduled fadeout)
+- Persistence queue: Unchanged (all state preserved to sessionStorage)
+
+**On page load (restoration):**
+- Messages with `fade_in_complete = true`:
+  - Displayed immediately (no fade-in animation, no queue delay)
+  - Honor original `fadeout_start_time` (not restarted)
+  - Displayed outside normal queue (doesn't block queue processing)
+- Messages with `fade_in_complete = false`:
+  - Added to working queue for normal processing
+  - Display with 2.5s spacing and full fade-in animation
+  - Calculate new `fadeout_start_time` after fade-in completes
+
+### Common Scenarios
+
+**Scenario 1: Ajax + Redirect (primary use case)**
+1. Ajax response includes flash message
+2. JavaScript queues message and saves to sessionStorage
+3. Page redirects immediately (before message displays)
+4. New page loads, restores queue from sessionStorage
+5. Message displays normally with 2.5s queue spacing
+6. Message removed from storage when fadeout begins
+
+**Scenario 2: Mid-animation navigation**
+1. Alert is fading in (fade_in_complete = false)
+2. User navigates away (alert hidden by beforeunload)
+3. New page loads, message restored to working queue
+4. Alert displays with normal queue timing and fade-in animation
+5. After fade-in completes, fade_in_complete = true saved
+
+**Scenario 3: Visible alert navigation (seamless SPA-like)**
+1. Alert fully visible (fade_in_complete = true, fadeout_start_time set)
+2. User navigates away (alert remains visible during navigation)
+3. New page loads, message has fade_in_complete = true
+4. Alert displayed immediately (no animation, no delay)
+5. Honors original fadeout_start_time (e.g., if 2s remaining, fades out in 2s)
+6. Creates seamless experience: alert appears to "survive" navigation
+
+**Scenario 4: Multiple messages + navigation**
+1. Queue has 3 messages, first one displaying (fade_in_complete = true)
+2. User navigates away
+3. New page loads:
+   - First message (fade_in_complete = true): Shows immediately
+   - Second message (fade_in_complete = false): Added to queue, displays in 2.5s
+   - Third message (fade_in_complete = false): Added to queue, displays in 5s
+4. Queue processing continues normally for remaining messages

+/**
+ * Flash_Alert - Temporary alert notification system with queue persistence
+ *
+ * Displays dismissable alert messages that auto-fade after a timeout.
+ * Messages are queued to prevent overwhelming the user with simultaneous alerts.
+ * Queue state persists across page navigations using sessionStorage (per-tab).
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ *   Flash_Alert.success('Changes saved!')
+ *   Flash_Alert.error('Something went wrong')
+ *   Flash_Alert.info('FYI: New feature available')
+ *   Flash_Alert.warning('Are you sure about that?')
+ *
+ * Features:
+ * - Queue system prevents alert spam (2.5s minimum between alerts)
+ * - Auto-dismiss after timeout (success: 4s, others: 6s)
+ * - Click to dismiss immediately
+ * - Smooth fade in/out animations
+ * - Bootstrap alert styling with icons
+ * - Persistent queue across page navigations (sessionStorage, tab-specific)
+ * - Stale message filtering (entire queue discarded if > 20 seconds old)
+ * - SPA-like experience: messages maintain timing state across navigation
+ *
+ * Queue Architecture:
+ * - Two-queue system: working queue (_queue) and persistence queue (_persistence_queue)
+ * - Working queue: Messages removed when displayed (controls display timing/spacing)
+ * - Persistence queue: Messages removed when fadeout starts (saved to sessionStorage)
+ * - Prevents duplicate displays while maintaining cross-navigation state
+ *
+ * Persistence System:
+ * - Queue state saved to sessionStorage when messages queued or state changes
+ * - State restored on page load via Server_Side_Flash._on_framework_core_init()
+ * - Entire queue discarded if last_updated timestamp > 20 seconds old
+ * - Individual messages filtered: discard if past their fadeout_start_time
+ * - Per-tab isolation (sessionStorage doesn't share across browser tabs)
+ * - Handles Ajax response + redirect scenario (message survives navigation)
+ *
+ * Message Lifecycle & Timing:
+ * - Queued → Display (fade-in 400ms) → Visible (4s success, 6s others) → Fadeout (1s) → Removed
+ * - fade_in_complete flag: Set after fade-in animation completes
+ * - fadeout_start_time: Calculated timestamp when fadeout should begin
+ * - Both saved to sessionStorage to maintain timing consistency across navigation
+ *
+ * Navigation Behavior:
+ * - beforeunload event: Hides alerts still fading in, keeps fully visible alerts (with scheduled fadeout)
+ * - On restore: Messages with fade_in_complete=true show immediately (no fade-in, no queue delay)
+ * - On restore: Messages with fade_in_complete=false added to queue (normal 2.5s spacing)
+ * - Restored messages honor original fadeout_start_time (not restarted)
+ * - Creates seamless SPA-like experience across full page navigations
+ *
+ * Common Scenarios:
+ * 1. Ajax + Redirect: Flash message queued during Ajax, page redirects immediately
+ *    → Message saved to sessionStorage → Restored and displayed on new page
+ * 2. Mid-animation navigation: Alert fading in when user navigates away
+ *    → Alert hidden during navigation → Restored on new page, continues fade-in
+ * 3. Visible alert navigation: Alert fully visible when user navigates
+ *    → Alert stays visible → Appears immediately on new page, honors original fadeout timing

+DATABASE SCHEMA ARCHITECTURE
+============================
+
+OVERVIEW
+--------
+This document describes the RSpade database schema organization and the architectural
+principles governing how framework and application data is stored.
+
+Date: 2024-11-18
+Status: Active framework architecture documentation
+
+TABLE NAMING CONVENTIONS
+-------------------------
+RSpade uses table name prefixes to distinguish between different layers of the system:
+
+1. SYSTEM TABLES (underscore prefix: _tablename)
+   - Internal framework infrastructure
+   - Managed entirely by framework subsystems
+   - NOT meant to be accessed directly by application developers
+   - May use direct DB::table() queries (exempt from ORM requirement)
+   - Implementation details hidden from application layer
+
+2. CORE TABLES (no prefix: tablename)
+   - Built-in application infrastructure
+   - Provided by framework but application-facing
+   - Developers query, extend, and build upon these
+   - MUST use ORM models (DB::table() prohibited)
+   - Part of the developer-facing API

+3. APPLICATION TABLES (no prefix: tablename)
+   - Created by developers for their specific application
+   - Business domain entities
+   - MUST use ORM models (DB::table() prohibited)
+   - Not shipped with framework (starter template only)
+
+DATABASE ACCESS RULES
+----------------------
+The underscore prefix has enforcement implications:
+
+SYSTEM TABLES (_tablename):
+  - Direct queries allowed: DB::table('_task_queue')->where(...)->get()
+  - No ORM model required
+  - Code quality checker (PHP-DB-01) automatically skips these
+  - Framework code optimizes for performance over abstraction
+
+CORE & APPLICATION TABLES (tablename):
+  - Direct queries PROHIBITED
+  - ORM model REQUIRED
+  - Code quality checker enforces this rule
+  - Example: Client_Model::where(...)->get()
+
+CURRENT SYSTEM TABLES
+----------------------
+
+_migrations
+  Purpose: Laravel migration tracking system
+  Managed by: Laravel framework migration subsystem

+
+_file_storage
+  Purpose: Content-addressable blob storage backend
+  Managed by: RSpade File attachment system
+  Records: Deduplicated file blobs indexed by SHA-256 hash
+  Implementation: Single-instance storage pattern - multiple attachments can
+                  reference the same blob. Developers never access this directly.
+
+_file_attachments
+  Purpose: Polymorphic file attachment tracking
+  Managed by: RSpade File attachment API
+  Records: Attachment metadata, relationships, dimensions, session tracking
+  Schema: key (UUID), file_storage_id (FK), fileable_type/id (polymorphic),
+          fileable_category, site_id, session_id
+  Developer API: Attachment methods, not direct table access
+
+_flash_alerts
+  Purpose: Transient flash message queue
+  Managed by: Flash_Alert system
+  Records: Session-scoped UI messages (success, error, warning, info)
+  Lifecycle: Created on one request, displayed on next, then deleted

+_search_indexes
+  Purpose: Full-text search index storage
+  Managed by: RSpade Search system
+  Records: Extracted searchable content from polymorphic entities
+  Schema: indexable_type/id (polymorphic), content (full-text), metadata (JSON),
+          extraction_method, language, site_id
+  Implementation: Automatic extraction from models, search API queries this
+
+CURRENT CORE TABLES
+--------------------
+
+sites
+  Purpose: Multi-tenancy root table
+  Managed by: Multi-tenant subsystem
+  Records: Tenant organizations, each with isolated data space
+  Usage: Developers query to show "available sites", build tenant switchers
+  Schema: name, domain, settings, active status
+
+users
+  Purpose: User account storage
+  Managed by: Authentication subsystem
+  Records: User credentials, profile data, authentication state
+  Usage: Developers extend with additional fields, query for user listings
+  Schema: email, password_hash, name, site_id (FK), active status
+
+login_users
+  Purpose: Authentication session/token tracking
+  Managed by: RsxAuth system
+  Records: Active login sessions with 365-day persistence
+  Usage: Developers query for "active sessions", implement logout-all
+  Schema: user_id (FK), session_token, ip_address, last_activity, expires_at
+
+user_profiles
+  Purpose: Extended user profile information
+  Managed by: User management system
+  Records: Additional user data beyond core authentication
+  Usage: Developers customize profile fields for their application
+  Schema: user_id (FK), bio, avatar, preferences (JSON), custom fields
+
+user_verifications
+  Purpose: Email verification and password reset token storage
+  Managed by: Authentication subsystem
+  Records: Temporary verification codes with expiration
+  Lifecycle: Created on request, validated once, then deleted or expired
+  Schema: user_id (FK), token, type (email_verify, password_reset), expires_at
+
+user_invites
+  Purpose: User invitation system
+  Managed by: User invitation subsystem
+  Records: Pending invitations with expiration (48 hours default)
+  Lifecycle: Created by admin, accepted by invitee, then marked used or expired
+  Schema: site_id (FK), email, token, invited_by (FK), expires_at, accepted_at
+
+ip_addresses
+  Purpose: IP address tracking and audit trail
+  Managed by: Security/audit subsystem
+  Records: IP addresses associated with user actions
+  Usage: Developers query for login history, security audit reports
+  Schema: ip_address, user_id (FK), action_type, created_at
+
+file_attachments (DEPRECATED - will become _file_attachments)
+  See SYSTEM TABLES section above. Currently core, moving to system.
+
+CURRENT APPLICATION TABLES
+---------------------------
+These tables are part of the starter template demonstration application.
+Developers typically replace these with their own domain entities.
+
+clients
+  Purpose: Demo business entity - client/customer records
+  Business domain: B2B SaaS starter template
+  Schema: name, email, phone, address, site_id (FK), status
+
+client_departments
+  Purpose: Demo organizational structure
+  Business domain: Client organization hierarchy
+  Schema: client_id (FK), name, parent_id (FK for nested structure)
+
+contacts
+  Purpose: Demo contact management
+  Business domain: People associated with clients
+  Schema: client_id (FK), name, email, phone, title, site_id (FK)
+
+projects
+  Purpose: Demo project tracking
+  Business domain: Client projects/engagements
+  Schema: client_id (FK), name, description, status, priority, due_date
+
+tasks (NOTE: Confusing name - different from _task_queue!)
+  Purpose: Demo user TODO/task list
+  Business domain: User task management
+  Schema: title, description, taskable_type/id (polymorphic), status, priority,
+          assigned_to_user_id (FK), due_date, site_id (FK)
+  WARNING: Name collision with _task_queue (background jobs). Consider renaming to
+           user_task_queue or todo_items in future versions.
+
+demo_products
+  Purpose: Demo product catalog
+  Business domain: Product/service offerings
+  Schema: name, description, price, sku, category, active status
+
+countries
+  Purpose: Geographic reference data
+  Business domain: International address support
+  Records: ISO country codes and names
+  Note: Reference data table, could be considered infrastructure
+
+regions
+  Purpose: Geographic subdivision reference data
+  Business domain: State/province/region for addresses
+  Records: Country subdivisions
+  Note: Reference data table, could be considered infrastructure
+
+ARCHITECTURAL PRINCIPLES
+-------------------------
+
+1. SEPARATION OF CONCERNS
+   System tables implement framework features invisibly. Core tables provide
+   developer-facing infrastructure. Application tables express business domain.
+
+2. ABSTRACTION BOUNDARIES
+   System table schemas are implementation details. Core table schemas are API
+   contracts. System tables can change without migration pain if APIs remain stable.
+
+3. PERFORMANCE VS CONSISTENCY
+   System tables prioritize performance (direct queries, denormalization OK).
+   Core/Application tables prioritize data integrity (ORM, relationships, validation).
+
+4. MIGRATION STRATEGY
+   All migrations run chronologically when `php artisan migrate` is executed,
+   regardless of whether they affect system, core, or application tables.
+
+   System tables: Migrations written and shipped by framework developers
+   Core tables: Migrations written and shipped by framework developers
+   Application tables: Migrations written by application developers
+
+   When a developer does `git pull` and new framework migrations exist, they
+   run alongside application migrations in date order when migrate is executed.
+
+5. DOCUMENTATION LEVEL
+   System tables: Internal documentation only
+   Core tables: Full API documentation required
+   Application tables: Developer-documented
+
+FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS
+---------------------
+
+Planned Changes:
+- Rename 'migrations' to '_migrations' (Laravel supports configuring this)
+- Move 'file_attachments' to '_file_attachments' (pure system implementation detail)
+- Consider renaming 'tasks' to 'user_task_queue' or 'todo_items' to avoid confusion with '_task_queue'
+
+Potential System Tables:
+- _cache (if implementing database cache driver)
+- _jobs (if using database queue driver - currently using '_task_queue')
+- _notifications (if implementing notification queue)
+- _websocket_connections (if implementing WebSocket presence tracking)
+
+MIGRATION MECHANICS
+-------------------
+
+When renaming a table to add underscore prefix:
+
+1. Create migration to rename table
+2. Update all Model classes: protected $table = '_newtablename';
+3. Update direct queries in framework code
+4. Update foreign key references in other tables (if any)
+5. Update seeders, factories, tests
+6. Run code quality checker to find missed references
+7. Test all affected subsystems
+
+Example migration:
+  Schema::rename('file_storage', '_file_storage');
+
+The underscore prefix is purely a naming convention - database engines treat
+these identically to non-prefixed tables. The convention exists for developer
+clarity and code quality enforcement.
+
+DEVELOPER GUIDANCE
+------------------
+
+When creating new tables, ask:
+
+Q: Will application developers query this directly?
+   YES → Core/Application table (no prefix)
+   NO → System table (underscore prefix)
+
+Q: Is this an implementation detail of a framework subsystem?
+   YES → System table (underscore prefix)
+   NO → Core/Application table (no prefix)
+
+Q: Would changing the schema break the developer-facing API?
+   YES → Core table (no prefix) - schema is part of the API contract
+   NO → System table (underscore prefix) - implementation detail
+
+Examples:
+- User login sessions? System (_login_sessions) - API is RsxAuth methods
+- User accounts? Core (users) - developers extend and query this
+- Search index? System (_search_indexes) - API is Search::query()
+- Client records? Application (clients) - business domain entity
+
+CONCLUSION
+----------
+
+The underscore prefix system creates a clear architectural boundary between
+framework implementation details and developer-facing data structures. This
+enables the framework to optimize system tables for performance while maintaining
+API stability, and helps developers understand which tables are theirs to use
+versus which are managed by framework subsystems.

-        - When Set: During component construction
-        - Purpose: Configuration and input parameters
-        - Mutability: Treat as read-only
-        - Examples: User ID, theme, callback functions
+    this.args - Component State (what to load):
+        - Source: Passed from parent via $attr=value
+        - Purpose: Component state that determines what on_load() fetches
+        - Mutability: Modifiable in all methods EXCEPT on_load()
+        - Usage: Page numbers, filters, sort order, configuration
+        - Examples: this.args.page, this.args.filter, this.args.user_id
 
-    this.data - Async Loaded Data:
-        - Source: on_load() lifecycle method
-        - When Set: During load phase (after render, before ready)

+        - Mutability: ONLY modifiable in on_create() and on_load()
+        - Freeze Cycle: Frozen after on_create(), unfrozen during on_load(),

+    Automatic Session Cleanup:
+        Sessions are automatically cleaned up via scheduled task that runs
+        daily at 3 AM. No manual configuration required.
 
-        Create scheduled command:
-            php artisan make:command CleanupSessions
+        Cleanup Rules:
+            - Logged-in sessions (login_user_id set): Deleted after 365 days
+            - Anonymous sessions (login_user_id null): Deleted after 14 days

-            $deleted = Session::cleanup_expired(365);
-            $this->info("Deleted $deleted expired sessions");
+        The cleanup uses last_active timestamp to determine session age.
+        Sessions are permanently deleted from the database.
 
-        Schedule in app/Console/Kernel.php:

+NAME
+    spa - Single Page Application routing for authenticated areas
+
+SYNOPSIS

+
+    class Frontend_Spa_Controller extends Rsx_Controller_Abstract
+    {
+        #[SPA]
+        #[Auth('Permission::authenticated()')]

+    class Contacts_Index_Action extends Spa_Action {
+        async on_load() {
+            this.data.contacts = await Frontend_Contacts_Controller.datagrid_fetch();
+        }
+    }
+
+DESCRIPTION
+    The RSX SPA system provides client-side routing for authenticated application
+    areas, enabling navigation without page reloads. Unlike traditional Laravel
+    views where each navigation triggers a full page load, SPA modules bootstrap
+    once and handle all subsequent navigation client-side through JavaScript
+    actions.
+
+    This approach is fundamentally different from traditional server-side routing:
+    - Traditional: Every navigation loads new HTML from server
+    - SPA: First request bootstraps application, subsequent navigation is client-side
+
+    Key differences from Laravel:
+    - Laravel: Full page reload per navigation, routes in routes/ files
+    - RSX: Bootstrap once, routes defined in JavaScript with @route() decorator
+
+    - Laravel: Separate frontend frameworks (Vue, React) require build tooling
+    - RSX: Integrated JQHTML component system, no external build required
+
+    - Laravel: API routes separate from view routes
+    - RSX: Controllers provide Ajax endpoints, actions consume them
+
+    Benefits:
+    - No page reloads after initial bootstrap
+    - Persistent layout across navigation
+    - Automatic browser history integration
+    - Same Rsx::Route() syntax for both traditional and SPA routes
+    - No frontend build tooling required
+
+    When to use:
+    - Authenticated areas (dashboards, admin panels)
+    - Applications with frequent navigation
+    - Features requiring persistent state
+
+    When to avoid:
+    - Public pages requiring SEO
+    - Simple static content
+    - Forms without complex interactions
+
+SPA ARCHITECTURE
+    SPA Module Structure:
+        An SPA module consists of six component types:
+
+        1. PHP Bootstrap Controller (ONE per feature/bundle)
+           - Single entry point marked with #[SPA]
+           - Performs authentication check with failure/redirect
+           - Renders SPA bootstrap layout
+           - Referenced by all actions via @spa() decorator
+           - One #[SPA] per feature/bundle (e.g., /app/frontend, /app/root, /app/login)
+           - Bundles segregate code for security and performance:
+             * Save bandwidth by loading only needed features
+             * Reduce processing time by smaller bundle sizes
+             * Protect confidential code (e.g., root admin from unauthorized users)
+           - Typically one #[SPA] per feature at rsx/app/(feature)/(feature)_spa_controller::index
+
+        2. Feature Controllers (Ajax Endpoints Only)
+           - Provide data via #[Ajax_Endpoint] methods
+           - No #[SPA] or #[Route] methods
+           - Called by actions to fetch/save data
+
+        3. JavaScript Actions (MANY per module)
+           - Represent individual pages/routes
+           - Define route patterns with @route()
+           - Load data in on_load() lifecycle method
+           - Access URL parameters via this.args
+
+        4. Action Templates (.jqhtml)
+           - Render action content
+           - Standard JQHTML component templates
+           - Replace traditional Blade views
+
+        5. Layout Template (.jqhtml)
+           - Persistent wrapper around actions
+           - Must have element with $id="content"
+           - Persists across action navigation
+
+        6. Layout Class (.js)
+           - Extends Spa_Layout
+           - Optional on_action() hook for navigation tracking
+
+    Execution Flow:
+        First Request:
+            1. User navigates to SPA route (e.g., /contacts)
+            2. Dispatcher calls bootstrap controller
+            3. Bootstrap returns rsx_view(SPA) with window.rsxapp.is_spa = true
+            4. Client JavaScript discovers all actions via manifest
+            5. Router matches URL to action class
+            6. Creates layout on <body>
+            7. Creates action inside layout $id="content" area
+
+        Subsequent Navigation:
+            1. User clicks link or calls Spa.dispatch()
+            2. Router matches URL to action class
+            3. Destroys old action, creates new action
+            4. Layout persists - no re-render
+            5. No server request, no page reload
+
+BOOTSTRAP CONTROLLER
+    Creating SPA Entry Point:
+        // /rsx/app/frontend/Frontend_Spa_Controller.php
+        class Frontend_Spa_Controller extends Rsx_Controller_Abstract
+        {
+            #[SPA]
+            #[Auth('Permission::authenticated()')]
+            public static function index(Request $request, array $params = [])
+            {
+                return rsx_view(SPA);
+            }
+        }
+
+    Key Points:
+        - One bootstrap controller per feature/bundle
+        - #[SPA] attribute marks as SPA entry point
+        - #[Auth] performs server-side authentication with failure/redirect
+        - Must return rsx_view(SPA) - special constant
+        - All actions in the same bundle reference this via @spa() decorator
+
+    Bundle Segregation:
+        - Separate bundles for different features: /app/frontend, /app/root, /app/login
+        - Each bundle has its own #[SPA] bootstrap
+        - Benefits:
+          * Bandwidth: Users only download code for authorized features
+          * Performance: Smaller bundles = faster load times
+          * Security: Root admin code never sent to unauthorized users
+        - Example: Frontend users never receive root admin JavaScript/CSS
+
+    Location:
+        - Place at feature root: /rsx/app/{feature}/
+        - Not in subdirectories
+        - One per feature/bundle
+        - Naming: {Feature}_Spa_Controller::index
+
+    Multiple SPA Bootstraps:
+        Different features can have separate SPA bootstraps:
+        - /app/frontend/Frontend_Spa_Controller::index (regular users)
+        - /app/root/Root_Spa_Controller::index (root admins)
+        - /app/login/Login_Spa_Controller::index (authentication flow)
+
+        Each bootstrap controls access to its feature's actions via #[Auth].
+
+FEATURE CONTROLLERS
+    Ajax Endpoint Pattern:
+        Feature controllers provide data endpoints only, no routes or SPA entry:
+
+        // /rsx/app/frontend/contacts/frontend_contacts_controller.php
+        class Frontend_Contacts_Controller extends Rsx_Controller_Abstract
+        {
+            #[Ajax_Endpoint]
+            public static function datagrid_fetch(Request $request, array $params = []): array
+            {
+                return Contacts_DataGrid::fetch($params);
+            }
+
+            #[Ajax_Endpoint]
+            public static function save(Request $request, array $params = [])
+            {
+                // Validation and save logic
+                $contact->save();
+
+                Flash_Alert::success('Contact saved successfully');
+
+                return [
+                    'contact_id' => $contact->id,
+                    'redirect' => Rsx::Route('Contacts_View_Action', $contact->id),
+                ];
+            }
+        }
+
+    Guidelines:
+        - All methods are #[Ajax_Endpoint]
+        - No #[Route] methods in SPA feature controllers
+        - No #[SPA] methods (only in bootstrap controller)
+        - Return arrays/data, not views
+        - Use Flash_Alert with redirects for success messages

+        controller(3) for #[Ajax_Endpoint] details
+
+JAVASCRIPT ACTIONS
+    Creating Actions:
+        // /rsx/app/frontend/contacts/Contacts_Index_Action.js
+        @route('/contacts')
+        @layout('Frontend_Layout')
+        @spa('Frontend_Spa_Controller::index')
+        class Contacts_Index_Action extends Spa_Action {
+            async on_load() {
+                this.data.contacts = await Frontend_Contacts_Controller.datagrid_fetch();
+            }
+
+            on_create() {
+                // Component initialization
+            }
+
+            on_ready() {
+                // DOM is ready, setup event handlers
+                this.$id('search').on('input', () => this.reload());
+            }
+        }
+
+    Decorator Syntax:
+        @route(pattern)
+            URL pattern with optional :param segments
+            Example: '/contacts/:id', '/users/:id/posts/:post_id'
+
+        @layout(class_name)
+            Layout class to render within
+            Example: 'Frontend_Layout', 'Dashboard_Layout'
+
+        @spa(controller::method)
+            References bootstrap controller
+            Example: 'Frontend_Spa_Controller::index'
+
+        @title(page_title)
+            Browser page title for this action (optional, clears if not present)
+            Alternatively, set dynamically in on_ready() via document.title = "value"
+            Example: @title('Contacts - RSX')
+
+    URL Parameters:
+        Parameters from route pattern and query string available in this.args:
+
+        // URL: /contacts/123?tab=history
+        @route('/contacts/:id')
+        class Contacts_View_Action extends Spa_Action {
+            on_create() {
+                console.log(this.args.id);   // "123"
+                console.log(this.args.tab);  // "history"
+            }
+        }
+
+    Lifecycle Methods:
+        on_create()     Component construction, setup this.state
+        on_load()       Fetch data, populate this.data (read-only this.args)
+        on_render()     Template rendering
+        on_ready()      DOM ready, setup event handlers
+
+    See Also:
+        jqhtml(3) for complete lifecycle documentation
+
+ACTION TEMPLATES
+    Creating Templates:
+        Action templates are standard JQHTML components:
+
+        <!-- /rsx/app/frontend/contacts/Contacts_Index_Action.jqhtml -->
+        <Define:Contacts_Index_Action tag="main">
+          <h1>Contacts</h1>
+
+          <div class="contacts-list">
+            <% for (let contact of this.data.contacts) { %>
+              <div class="contact-item">
+                <a href="<%= Rsx.Route('Contacts_View_Action', {id: contact.id}) %>">
+                  <%= contact.name %>
+                </a>
+              </div>
+            <% } %>
+          </div>
+        </Define:Contacts_Index_Action>
+
+    Key Points:
+        - Use Rsx.Route() for all URLs, never hardcode
+        - Access data via this.data (loaded in on_load)
+        - Use standard JQHTML template syntax
+        - Can reference other components
+
+LAYOUTS
+    Layout Template:
+        Layout provides persistent wrapper around actions:
+
+        <!-- /rsx/app/frontend/Frontend_Layout.jqhtml -->
+        <Define:Frontend_Layout>
+          <div class="frontend-layout">
+            <header class="mb-3">
+              <h1>My App</h1>
+              <nav>
+                <a href="<%= Rsx.Route('Contacts_Index_Action') %>">Contacts</a>
+                <a href="<%= Rsx.Route('Projects_Index_Action') %>">Projects</a>
+              </nav>
+            </header>
+
+            <main $id="content">
+              <!-- Actions render here -->
+            </main>
+
+            <footer class="mt-3">
+              <p>&copy; 2024 My Company</p>
+            </footer>
+          </div>
+        </Define:Frontend_Layout>
+
+    Requirements:
+        - Must have element with $id="content"
+        - Content area is where actions render
+        - Layout persists across navigation
+
+    Layout Class:
+        Optional JavaScript class for navigation tracking:
+
+        // /rsx/app/frontend/Frontend_Layout.js
+        class Frontend_Layout extends Spa_Layout {
+            on_action(url, action_name, args) {
+                // Called AFTER action component created and booted
+                // Called BEFORE action reaches on_ready()
+                // Can immediately access this.action properties
+
+                // Update active nav highlighting
+                this.$('.nav-link').removeClass('active');
+                this.$(`[data-action="${action_name}"]`).addClass('active');
+
+                // If you need to wait for action's full lifecycle:
+                // await this.action.ready();
+            }
+        }
+
+        on_action() Lifecycle Timing:
+        - Called after action component is created and booted
+        - Called before action reaches on_ready()
+        - Can immediately access this.action properties
+        - Use await this.action.ready() to wait for action's full loading
+
+URL GENERATION
+    CRITICAL: All URLs must use Rsx::Route() or Rsx.Route(). Raw URLs like
+    "/contacts" will produce errors.
+
+    Signature:
+        Rsx::Route($action, $params = null)
+        Rsx.Route(action, params = null)
+
+        Where:
+        - $action: Controller class, SPA action, or "Class::method"
+          Defaults to 'index' method if no :: present
+        - $params: Integer sets 'id', array/object provides named params
+
+    PHP Syntax:
+        // Works for both controller routes and SPA actions
+        Rsx::Route('Contacts_Index_Action')     // /contacts
+        Rsx::Route('Contacts_View_Action', 123) // /contacts/123
+
+    JavaScript Syntax:
+        // Works for both controller routes and SPA actions
+        Rsx.Route('Contacts_Index_Action')     // /contacts
+        Rsx.Route('Contacts_View_Action', 123) // /contacts/123
+
+    Automatic Detection:
+        Rsx::Route() automatically detects whether the class is:
+        - PHP controller with #[Route] attribute
+        - JavaScript SPA action with @route() decorator
+
+    Query Parameters:
+        Extra parameters become query string:
+
+        Rsx::Route('Contacts_Index_Action', ['filter' => 'active', 'sort' => 'name'])
+        // Result: /contacts?filter=active&sort=name
+
+NAVIGATION
+    Automatic Browser Integration:
+        - Clicking links to SPA routes triggers client-side navigation
+        - Browser back/forward buttons handled without page reload
+        - URL updates in address bar via pushState()
+        - Links to external or non-SPA routes perform full page load
+
+    Programmatic Navigation:
+        Spa.dispatch(url)
+            Navigate to URL programmatically
+            If URL is part of current SPA, uses client-side routing
+            If URL is external or different SPA, performs full page load
+
+        Example:
+            // Navigate within SPA
+            Spa.dispatch('/contacts/123');
+
+            // Navigate to external URL (full page load)
+            Spa.dispatch('https://example.com');
+
+        Use Spa.dispatch() instead of window.location for all navigation.
+
+    Accessing Active Components:
+        Spa.layout      Reference to current layout component instance
+        Spa.action      Reference to current action component instance
+
+        Example:
+            // From anywhere in SPA context
+            Spa.action.reload();           // Reload current action
+            Spa.layout.update_nav();       // Call layout method

+
+SPA VS TRADITIONAL ROUTES
+    Architecture Comparison:
+
+        Traditional Route:
+            Every navigation:
+            1. Browser sends HTTP request to server
+            2. Controller executes, queries database
+            3. Blade template renders full HTML page
+            4. Server sends complete HTML to browser
+            5. Browser parses and renders new page
+            6. JavaScript re-initializes
+            7. User sees page flash/reload
+
+        SPA Route:
+            First navigation:
+            1. Browser sends HTTP request to server
+            2. Bootstrap controller renders SPA shell
+            3. JavaScript initializes, discovers actions
+            4. Router matches URL to action
+            5. Action loads data via Ajax
+            6. Action renders in persistent layout
+
+            Subsequent navigation:
+            1. Router matches URL to action (client-side)
+            2. New action loads data via Ajax
+            3. New action renders in existing layout
+            4. No server request, no page reload
+            5. Layout persists (header/nav/footer stay)
+
+    Code Comparison:
+
+        Traditional:
+            // Controller
+            #[Route('/contacts')]
+            public static function index(Request $request, array $params = []) {
+                $contacts = Contact_Model::all();
+                return rsx_view('Contacts_List', ['contacts' => $contacts]);
+            }
+
+            // Blade view
+            @extends('layout')
+            @section('content')
+                <h1>Contacts</h1>
+                @foreach($contacts as $contact)
+                    <div>{{ $contact->name }}</div>
+                @endforeach
+            @endsection
+
+        SPA:
+            // Bootstrap (once)
+            #[SPA]
+            public static function index(Request $request, array $params = []) {
+                return rsx_view(SPA);
+            }
+
+            // Ajax endpoint
+            #[Ajax_Endpoint]
+            public static function fetch_all(Request $request, array $params = []): array {
+                return Contact_Model::all()->toArray();
+            }
+
+            // Action
+            @route('/contacts')
+            @spa('Frontend_Spa_Controller::index')
+            class Contacts_Index_Action extends Spa_Action {
+                async on_load() {
+                    this.data.contacts = await Frontend_Contacts_Controller.fetch_all();
+                }
+            }
+
+            // Template
+            <Define:Contacts_Index_Action>
+                <h1>Contacts</h1>
+                <% for (let contact of this.data.contacts) { %>
+                    <div><%= contact.name %></div>
+                <% } %>
+            </Define:Contacts_Index_Action>
+
+TROUBLESHOOTING
+    SPA Not Initializing:
+        - Verify bootstrap controller has #[SPA] attribute
+        - Check controller returns rsx_view(SPA)
+        - Ensure bundle includes SPA directory
+        - Verify window.rsxapp.is_spa is true in HTML
+
+    Action Not Found:
+        - Check @route() decorator matches URL pattern
+        - Verify action extends Spa_Action
+        - Ensure action file included in bundle
+        - Run: php artisan rsx:manifest:build
+
+    Navigation Not Working:
+        - Verify using Rsx.Route() not hardcoded URLs
+        - Check @spa() decorator references correct bootstrap controller
+        - Ensure layout has $id="content" element
+        - Test Spa.dispatch() directly
+
+    Layout Not Persisting:
+        - Verify all actions in module use same @layout()
+        - Check layout template has $id="content"
+        - Ensure not mixing SPA and traditional routes
+
+    this.args Empty:
+        - Check route pattern includes :param for dynamic segments
+        - Verify URL matches route pattern exactly
+        - Remember query params (?key=value) also in this.args
+
+    Data Not Loading:
+        - Verify Ajax endpoint has #[Ajax_Endpoint]
+        - Check endpoint returns array, not view
+        - Ensure await used in on_load() for async calls
+        - Verify controller included in bundle
+
+COMMON PATTERNS
+    Conditional Navigation:
+        // Navigate based on condition
+        if (user.is_admin) {
+            Spa.dispatch(Rsx.Route('Admin_Dashboard_Action'));
+        } else {
+            Spa.dispatch(Rsx.Route('User_Dashboard_Action'));
+        }
+
+    Reloading Current Action:
+        // Refresh current action data
+        Spa.action.reload();
+
+    Form Submission with Redirect:
+        async on_submit() {
+            const data = this.vals();
+            const result = await Controller.save(data);
+
+            if (result.errors) {
+                Form_Utils.apply_form_errors(this.$, result.errors);
+                return;
+            }
+
+            // Flash alert set server-side, redirect to view
+            Spa.dispatch(result.redirect);
+        }
+
+    Multiple Layouts:
+        // Different layouts for different areas
+        @layout('Admin_Layout')
+        class Admin_Users_Action extends Spa_Action { }
+
+        @layout('Frontend_Layout')
+        class Frontend_Contacts_Action extends Spa_Action { }
