NAME
    prod_feature_plans - Production deployment feature planning for RSpade framework

SYNOPSIS
    Planned features and optimizations for production deployment mode

DESCRIPTION
    This document tracks planned features for RSpade framework production deployment.
    These features will be implemented when the production build/export system is
    fully developed.

    Production mode focuses on:
    - Security hardening
    - Performance optimization
    - Minimal footprint
    - Production-ready asset delivery
    - Error handling for end users

    Current Status:
    Production mode is partially implemented. This document tracks additional
    features to be added when the full "export prod build" system is created.

PLANNED FEATURES

    Minified Source Code:
        - Minify all JavaScript bundles
        - Minify CSS files
        - Remove comments and whitespace
        - Obfuscate variable names (optional)
        - Reduce bundle size by 60-80%

        Implementation Notes:
        - Use webpack/esbuild minification
        - Preserve source maps for error tracking
        - Keep class/function names for reflection
        - Test bundle integrity after minification

    Public Directory Asset Migration:
        - Copy all rsx/public/* to Laravel public/ directory
        - Serve static files directly from public/
        - Bypass PHP entirely for static assets
        - Maintain public_ignore.json restrictions
        - Set proper cache headers (30 days with ?v= versioning)

        Implementation Notes:
        - Run during deployment/build process
        - Update asset URLs in compiled bundles
        - Verify no conflicts with existing public/ files
        - Document migration process for custom deployments

    IDE Helper Routes Disabled:
        - Disable all /_idehelper/* routes in production
        - Return 404 for any IDE helper endpoint access
        - Remove route registrations entirely
        - Prevent information disclosure

        Implementation Notes:
        - Already partially implemented (endpoints check environment)
        - Need to remove route registration in production
        - Ensure VS Code extension gracefully handles disabled endpoints
        - Document production vs development differences

    Fatal Error Logging (No User Display):
        - Log all fatal errors to storage/logs/
        - Show generic error page to users
        - Never expose stack traces or file paths
        - Include error ID for support reference

        Implementation Notes:
        - Implement custom error handler
        - Create user-friendly error template
        - Log detailed errors with context
        - Provide error ID for support lookups
        - Consider integration with error tracking services (Sentry, Bugsnag)

    IIFE JavaScript Namespace Protection:
        - Wrap all bundle JavaScript in IIFE (Immediately Invoked Function Expression)
        - Prevent global namespace pollution
        - Make internal variables inaccessible from browser console
        - Protect against console-based tampering

        Example:
            (function() {
                'use strict';
                // All bundle code here
                // Variables not accessible via window.variable_name
            })();

        Implementation Notes:
        - Configure webpack/esbuild to use IIFE format
        - Test framework functionality with wrapped code
        - Ensure exposed APIs still accessible (Rsx.Route, etc.)
        - Balance security with debugging needs

    Additional Security Measures:
        - Disable debug mode completely
        - Remove all console_debug() output
        - Disable manifest rebuilding
        - Set secure cookie flags
        - Enable HTTPS-only mode
        - Configure CSP headers

        Implementation Notes:
        - config/rsx.php production overrides
        - Middleware for security headers
        - Document required environment variables
        - Create production checklist

    Performance Optimizations:
        - Enable OPcache in production
        - Precompile all manifest data
        - Cache bundle assets with long expiration
        - Enable gzip/brotli compression
        - Optimize database queries
        - Implement Redis caching

        Implementation Notes:
        - Server configuration documentation
        - Automatic OPcache warming on deploy
        - Cache warming artisan command
        - Performance testing before/after

    Asset Versioning:
        - Automatic ?v=hash query strings
        - Cache busting on every deployment
        - Manifest-based asset URL generation
        - Long-term browser caching (30 days)

        Implementation Notes:
        - Generate asset hashes during build
        - Store hash in manifest
        - Helper function for versioned URLs
        - Document cache invalidation strategy

DEPLOYMENT WORKFLOW

    Planned deployment process for production builds:

    1. Build Phase:

        - Generate asset hashes
        - Copy public/ directory assets
        - Precompile manifest data
        - Run code quality checks
        - Create deployment package

    2. Package Phase:
        - Include only necessary files
        - Exclude development dependencies
        - Exclude test directories
        - Exclude IDE helper system
        - Create tarball or zip

    3. Deploy Phase:

    Load Times:
        - First Contentful Paint: < 1.5s
        - Time to Interactive: < 3s
        - Largest Contentful Paint: < 2.5s

    Server Performance:
        - Response time: < 200ms (p95)
        - Requests per second: > 100 (single server)
        - Memory usage: < 128MB per PHP worker

MONITORING AND LOGGING

    Production monitoring requirements:

        - Log all errors to persistent storage
        - Include request context and stack trace
        - Generate unique error IDs
        - Alert on error rate thresholds
        - Integration with monitoring services

    Performance Monitoring:
        - Track response times
        - Monitor database query performance
        - Track bundle load times
        - Monitor server resource usage

    User Analytics:
        - Page view tracking
        - Error rate by page
        - User flow analysis
        - Performance metrics by region

BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY

    Ensure production build maintains:
        - All public API compatibility
        - Database migration forward-compatibility
        - Configuration file structure
        - Bundle loading mechanisms
