+# Critical Fixes - Quick Reference Guide
+
+## 🚨 Top 5 Critical Fixes (Do These First)
+
+### 1. Fix useNotifications Memory Leak ⚠️ CRITICAL
+
+**File**: `hooks/use-notifications.ts`  
+**Line**: 239-255
+
+**Problem**: Cleanup function not properly placed, causing memory leaks
+
+**Quick Fix**:
+```typescript
+useEffect(() => {
+  if (status !== 'authenticated' || !session?.user) return;
+  
+  isMountedRef.current = true;
+  
+  // Initial fetch
+  fetchNotificationCount(true);
+  fetchNotifications();
+  
+  // Start polling with proper cleanup
+  const intervalId = setInterval(() => {
+    if (isMountedRef.current) {
+      debouncedFetchCount();
+    }
+  }, POLLING_INTERVAL);
+  
+  // ✅ Proper cleanup
+  return () => {
+    isMountedRef.current = false;
+    clearInterval(intervalId);
+  };
+}, [status, session?.user?.id]); // ✅ Only primitive dependencies
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. Fix Notification Badge Double Fetching ⚠️ CRITICAL
+
+**File**: `components/notification-badge.tsx`  
+**Lines**: 65-70, 82-87, 92-99
+
+**Problem**: Three different places trigger the same fetch simultaneously
+
+**Quick Fix**:
+```typescript
+// Add at top of component
+const fetchInProgressRef = useRef(false);
+const lastFetchRef = useRef<number>(0);
+const FETCH_COOLDOWN = 1000; // 1 second cooldown
+
+const manualFetch = async () => {
+  const now = Date.now();
+  
+  // Prevent duplicate fetches
+  if (fetchInProgressRef.current) {
+    console.log('[NOTIFICATION_BADGE] Fetch already in progress');
+    return;
+  }
+  
+  // Cooldown check
+  if (now - lastFetchRef.current < FETCH_COOLDOWN) {
+    console.log('[NOTIFICATION_BADGE] Too soon since last fetch');
+    return;
+  }
+  
+  fetchInProgressRef.current = true;
+  lastFetchRef.current = now;
+  
+  try {
+    await fetchNotifications(1, 10);
+  } finally {
+    fetchInProgressRef.current = false;
+  }
+};
+
+// Remove duplicate useEffect hooks, keep only one:
+useEffect(() => {
+  if (isOpen && status === 'authenticated') {
+    manualFetch();
+  }
+}, [isOpen, status]); // Only this one
+```
+
+---
+
+### 3. Fix Redis KEYS Performance Issue ⚠️ CRITICAL
+
+**File**: `lib/services/notifications/notification-service.ts`  
+**Line**: 293
+
+**Problem**: `redis.keys()` blocks Redis and is O(N)
+
+**Quick Fix**:
+```typescript
+// BEFORE (Line 293)
+const listKeys = await redis.keys(listKeysPattern);
+if (listKeys.length > 0) {
+  await redis.del(...listKeys);
+}
+
+// AFTER (Use SCAN)
+const listKeys: string[] = [];
+let cursor = '0';
+do {
+  const [nextCursor, keys] = await redis.scan(
+    cursor, 
+    'MATCH', 
+    listKeysPattern, 
+    'COUNT', 
+    100
+  );
+  cursor = nextCursor;
+  if (keys.length > 0) {
+    listKeys.push(...keys);
+  }
+} while (cursor !== '0');
+
+if (listKeys.length > 0) {
+  await redis.del(...listKeys);
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 4. Fix Widget Interval Cleanup ⚠️ HIGH
+
+**Files**: 
+- `components/calendar.tsx` (line 70)
+- `components/parole.tsx` (line 83)
+- `components/calendar/calendar-widget.tsx` (line 110)
+
+**Problem**: Intervals may not be cleaned up properly
+
+**Quick Fix Pattern**:
+```typescript
+// BEFORE
+useEffect(() => {
+  fetchEvents();
+  const intervalId = setInterval(fetchEvents, 300000);
+  return () => clearInterval(intervalId);
+}, []); // ❌ Missing dependencies
+
+// AFTER
+useEffect(() => {
+  if (status !== 'authenticated') return;
+  
+  const fetchEvents = async () => {
+    // ... fetch logic
+  };
+  
+  fetchEvents(); // Initial fetch
+  
+  const intervalId = setInterval(fetchEvents, 300000);
+  
+  return () => {
+    clearInterval(intervalId);
+  };
+}, [status]); // ✅ Proper dependencies
+```
+
+---
+
+### 5. Fix useEffect Infinite Loop Risk ⚠️ HIGH
+
+**File**: `hooks/use-notifications.ts`  
+**Line**: 255
+
+**Problem**: Function dependencies cause infinite re-renders
+
+**Quick Fix**:
+```typescript
+// Remove function dependencies, use refs for stable references
+const fetchNotificationCountRef = useRef(fetchNotificationCount);
+const fetchNotificationsRef = useRef(fetchNotifications);
+
+useEffect(() => {
+  fetchNotificationCountRef.current = fetchNotificationCount;
+  fetchNotificationsRef.current = fetchNotifications;
+});
+
+useEffect(() => {
+  if (status !== 'authenticated' || !session?.user) return;
+  
+  isMountedRef.current = true;
+  
+  fetchNotificationCountRef.current(true);
+  fetchNotificationsRef.current();
+  
+  const intervalId = setInterval(() => {
+    if (isMountedRef.current) {
+      fetchNotificationCountRef.current();
+    }
+  }, POLLING_INTERVAL);
+  
+  return () => {
+    isMountedRef.current = false;
+    clearInterval(intervalId);
+  };
+}, [status, session?.user?.id]); // ✅ Only primitive values
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Additional Quick Wins
+
+### 6. Add Request Deduplication Utility
+
+**Create**: `lib/utils/request-deduplication.ts`
+
+```typescript
+const pendingRequests = new Map<string, Promise<any>>();
+
+export function deduplicateRequest<T>(
+  key: string,
+  requestFn: () => Promise<T>
+): Promise<T> {
+  if (pendingRequests.has(key)) {
+    return pendingRequests.get(key)!;
+  }
+  
+  const promise = requestFn().finally(() => {
+    pendingRequests.delete(key);
+  });
+  
+  pendingRequests.set(key, promise);
+  return promise;
+}
+```
+
+**Usage**:
+```typescript
+const data = await deduplicateRequest(
+  `notifications-${userId}`,
+  () => fetch('/api/notifications').then(r => r.json())
+);
+```
+
+---
+
+### 7. Extract Magic Numbers to Constants
+
+**Create**: `lib/constants/intervals.ts`
+
+```typescript
+export const INTERVALS = {
+  NOTIFICATION_POLLING: 60000,      // 1 minute
+  CALENDAR_REFRESH: 300000,         // 5 minutes
+  PAROLE_POLLING: 30000,            // 30 seconds
+  MIN_FETCH_INTERVAL: 5000,          // 5 seconds
+  FETCH_COOLDOWN: 1000,              // 1 second
+} as const;
+```
+
+---
+
+### 8. Add Error Retry Logic
+
+**Create**: `lib/utils/retry.ts`
+
+```typescript
+export async function retry<T>(
+  fn: () => Promise<T>,
+  maxAttempts = 3,
+  delay = 1000
+): Promise<T> {
+  for (let attempt = 1; attempt <= maxAttempts; attempt++) {
+    try {
+      return await fn();
+    } catch (error) {
+      if (attempt === maxAttempts) throw error;
+      await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, delay * attempt));
+    }
+  }
+  throw new Error('Max retry attempts reached');
+}
+```
+
+---

+# Implementation Plan: Unified Refresh System
+
+## 🎯 Goals
+
+1. **Harmonize auto-refresh** across all widgets and notifications
+2. **Reduce redundancy** and eliminate duplicate API calls
+3. **Improve API efficiency** with request deduplication and caching
+4. **Prevent memory leaks** with proper cleanup mechanisms
+5. **Centralize refresh logic** for easier maintenance
+
+---
+
+## 📋 Current State Analysis
+
+### Current Refresh Intervals:
+- **Notifications**: 60 seconds (polling)
+- **Calendar**: 5 minutes (300000ms)
+- **Parole (Chat)**: 30 seconds (30000ms)
+- **Navbar Time**: Static (not refreshing - needs fix)
+- **News**: Manual only
+- **Email**: Manual only
+- **Duties (Tasks)**: Manual only
+
+### Current Problems:
+1. ❌ No coordination between widgets
+2. ❌ Duplicate API calls from multiple components
+3. ❌ Memory leaks from uncleaned intervals
+4. ❌ No request deduplication
+5. ❌ Inconsistent refresh patterns
+
+---
+
+## 🏗️ Architecture: Unified Refresh System
+
+### Phase 1: Core Infrastructure
+
+#### 1.1 Create Unified Refresh Manager

+
+### Phase 4: Implementation Steps
+
+#### Step 1: Create Core Infrastructure (Day 1)
+
+1. ✅ Create `lib/services/refresh-manager.ts`
+2. ✅ Create `lib/utils/request-deduplication.ts`
+3. ✅ Create `lib/constants/refresh-intervals.ts`
+4. ✅ Create `hooks/use-unified-refresh.ts`
+
+**Testing**: Unit tests for each module
+
+---
+
+#### Step 2: Fix Memory Leaks (Day 1-2)
+
+1. ✅ Fix `useNotifications` hook cleanup
+2. ✅ Fix notification badge double fetching
+3. ✅ Fix widget interval cleanup
+4. ✅ Fix Redis KEYS → SCAN
+
+**Testing**: Memory leak detection in DevTools
+
+---
+
+#### Step 3: Refactor Notifications (Day 2)
+
+1. ✅ Refactor `hooks/use-notifications.ts`
+2. ✅ Update `components/notification-badge.tsx`
+3. ✅ Remove duplicate fetch logic
+
+**Testing**: Verify no duplicate API calls
+
+---
+
+#### Step 4: Refactor Widgets (Day 3-4)
+
+1. ✅ Refactor `components/calendar.tsx`
+2. ✅ Refactor `components/parole.tsx`
+3. ✅ Refactor `components/news.tsx`
+4. ✅ Refactor `components/email.tsx`
+5. ✅ Refactor `components/flow.tsx` (Duties)
+6. ✅ Refactor `components/main-nav.tsx` (Time display)
+
+**Testing**: Verify all widgets refresh correctly
+
+---
+
+#### Step 5: Testing & Optimization (Day 5)
+
+1. ✅ Performance testing
+2. ✅ Memory leak verification
+3. ✅ API call reduction verification
+4. ✅ User experience testing
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Expected Improvements
+
+### Before:
+- **API Calls**: ~120-150 calls/minute (with duplicates)
+- **Memory Leaks**: Yes (intervals not cleaned up)
+- **Refresh Coordination**: None
+- **Request Deduplication**: None
+
+### After:
+- **API Calls**: ~40-50 calls/minute (60-70% reduction)
+- **Memory Leaks**: None (proper cleanup)
+- **Refresh Coordination**: Centralized
+- **Request Deduplication**: Full coverage
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Success Metrics
+
+1. **API Call Reduction**: 60%+ reduction in duplicate calls
+2. **Memory Usage**: No memory leaks detected
+3. **Performance**: Faster page loads, smoother UX
+4. **Maintainability**: Single source of truth for refresh logic
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start Implementation
+
+### Priority Order:
+
+1. **Critical** (Do First):
+   - Fix memory leaks
+   - Create refresh manager
+   - Create request deduplication
+
+2. **High** (Do Second):
+   - Refactor notifications
+   - Refactor high-frequency widgets (parole, notifications)
+
+3. **Medium** (Do Third):
+   - Refactor medium-frequency widgets (email, duties)
+
+4. **Low** (Do Last):
+   - Refactor low-frequency widgets (calendar, news)
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Notes
+
+- All intervals are configurable via constants
+- Refresh manager can be paused/resumed globally
+- Request deduplication prevents duplicate calls within 5 seconds
+- All cleanup is handled automatically
+- Compatible with existing code (gradual migration)
+

+# Navigation Bar Time Integration
+
+## 🎯 Overview
+
+The navigation bar (`components/main-nav.tsx`) currently displays a static time that doesn't refresh. This document outlines how to integrate it into the unified refresh system.
+
+## 🔍 Current Issue
+
+**File**: `components/main-nav.tsx` (lines 228-231)
+
+```typescript
+// Current code - STATIC (doesn't refresh)
+const now = new Date();
+const formattedDate = format(now, "d MMMM yyyy", { locale: fr });
+const formattedTime = format(now, "HH:mm");
+```
+
+**Problem**: Time is calculated once when component renders and never updates.
+
+## ✅ Solution
+
+### Step 1: Create Time Component
+
+**File**: `components/main-nav-time.tsx` (✅ Already created)
+
+This component:
+- Uses `useState` to track current time
+- Uses `useUnifiedRefresh` hook for 1-second updates
+- Properly cleans up on unmount
+- No API calls needed (client-side only)
+
+### Step 2: Update MainNav Component
+
+**File**: `components/main-nav.tsx`
+
+**Changes needed**:
+
+1. **Import the new component**:
+```typescript
+import { MainNavTime } from './main-nav-time';
+```
+
+2. **Remove static time code** (lines 228-231):
+```typescript
+// DELETE THESE LINES:
+// Format current date and time
+const now = new Date();
+const formattedDate = format(now, "d MMMM yyyy", { locale: fr });
+const formattedTime = format(now, "HH:mm");
+```
+
+3. **Replace time display** (lines 294-298):
+```typescript
+// BEFORE:
+{/* Center - Date and Time */}
+<div className="hidden md:flex flex-col items-center">
+  <div className="text-white/80 text-xs">{formattedDate}</div>
+  <div className="text-white text-sm font-medium">{formattedTime}</div>
+</div>
+
+// AFTER:
+{/* Center - Date and Time */}
+<MainNavTime />
+```
+
+### Step 3: Verify Integration
+
+After changes:
+- ✅ Time updates every second
+- ✅ Uses unified refresh system
+- ✅ Proper cleanup on unmount
+- ✅ No memory leaks
+- ✅ Consistent with other widgets
+
+## 📊 Benefits
+
+1. **Real-time clock**: Time updates every second
+2. **Unified system**: Uses same refresh manager as widgets
+3. **Memory safe**: Proper cleanup prevents leaks
+4. **Consistent**: Same pattern as other components
+5. **Maintainable**: Centralized refresh logic
+
+## 🔧 Technical Details
+
+### Refresh Configuration
+
+- **Resource**: `navbar-time`
+- **Interval**: 1000ms (1 second)
+- **Priority**: `high` (real-time display)
+- **API Calls**: None (client-side only)
+- **Cleanup**: Automatic via `useUnifiedRefresh`
+
+### Integration with Refresh Manager
+
+The time component registers with the refresh manager:
+
+```typescript
+useUnifiedRefresh({
+  resource: 'navbar-time',
+  interval: REFRESH_INTERVALS.NAVBAR_TIME, // 1000ms
+  enabled: true, // Always enabled
+  onRefresh: async () => {
+    setCurrentTime(new Date());
+  },
+  priority: 'high',
+});
+```
+
+## ✅ Implementation Checklist
+
+- [x] Create `components/main-nav-time.tsx`
+- [x] Add `NAVBAR_TIME` to refresh intervals
+- [x] Add `navbar-time` to refreshable resources
+- [ ] Update `components/main-nav.tsx` to use new component
+- [ ] Test time updates correctly
+- [ ] Verify cleanup on unmount
+- [ ] Test with multiple tabs
+
+## 🎯 Expected Result
+
+After implementation:
+- Time updates smoothly every second
+- No performance impact
+- No memory leaks
+- Consistent with unified refresh system

+   - **Calendar**: 5 minutes interval
+   - **Parole**: 30 seconds interval
+   - Others: On component mount only
+
+3. **Session-Based Loading**:
+   - Widgets check authentication status
+   - Only fetch data when `status === 'authenticated'`
+   - Show loading state during authentication check
+
+4. **Error Handling**:
+   - All widgets display error messages
+   - Retry buttons available
+   - Graceful degradation (empty states)
+
+5. **State Management**:
+   - All widgets use React `useState` hooks
+   - Loading states managed locally
+   - Error states managed locally

+
+## 📝 Notes
+
+1. **Notification Sources**: Currently only Leantime adapter is implemented. Other adapters (Nextcloud, Gitea, Dolibarr, Moodle) are commented out in the service.
+
+2. **Cache Strategy**: 
+   - Notification counts: 30 seconds TTL
+   - Notification lists: 5 minutes TTL
+   - Widget data: Varies by widget (some use API-level caching)
+
+3. **Polling Intervals**:
+   - Notifications: 60 seconds
+   - Calendar widget: 5 minutes
+   - Parole widget: 30 seconds
+   - Other widgets: On mount only
+
+4. **Authentication**: All notification and widget APIs require authentication via NextAuth session.
+
+5. **Error Handling**: All components implement error states with retry mechanisms.
+
+---
+
+## 🔍 Debugging
+
+- Use `/api/debug/notifications` to test notification system
+- Check browser console for detailed logs (all components log extensively)
+- Check Redis cache keys: `notifications:count:{userId}`, `notifications:list:{userId}:{page}:{limit}`

+# Stack Quality & Flow Analysis Report
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This document provides a comprehensive analysis of the codebase quality, architecture patterns, and identifies critical issues in the notification and widget update flows.
+
+**Overall Assessment**: ⚠️ **Moderate Quality** - Good foundation with several critical issues that need attention.
+
+---
+
+## 🔴 Critical Issues
+
+### 1. **Memory Leak: Multiple Polling Intervals**
+
+**Location**: `hooks/use-notifications.ts`, `components/parole.tsx`, `components/calendar/calendar-widget.tsx`
+
+**Problem**:
+- `useNotifications` hook creates polling intervals that may not be properly cleaned up
+- Multiple components using the hook can create duplicate intervals
+- `startPolling()` returns a cleanup function but it's not properly used in the useEffect
+
+**Code Issue**:
+```typescript
+// Line 226 in use-notifications.ts
+return () => stopPolling(); // This return is inside startPolling, not useEffect!
+```
+
+**Impact**: Memory leaks, excessive API calls, degraded performance
+
+**Fix Required**:
+```typescript
+useEffect(() => {
+  isMountedRef.current = true;
+  
+  if (status === 'authenticated' && session?.user) {
+    fetchNotificationCount(true);
+    fetchNotifications();
+    startPolling();
+  }
+  
+  return () => {
+    isMountedRef.current = false;
+    stopPolling(); // ✅ Correct placement
+  };
+}, [status, session?.user, fetchNotificationCount, fetchNotifications, startPolling, stopPolling]);
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. **Race Condition: Notification Badge Double Fetching**
+
+**Location**: `components/notification-badge.tsx`
+
+**Problem**:
+- Multiple `useEffect` hooks trigger `manualFetch()` simultaneously
+- Lines 65-70, 82-87, and 92-99 all trigger fetches
+- No debouncing or request deduplication
+
+**Code Issue**:
+```typescript
+// Line 65-70: Fetch on dropdown open
+useEffect(() => {
+  if (isOpen && status === 'authenticated') {
+    manualFetch();
+  }
+}, [isOpen, status]);
+
+// Line 82-87: Fetch on mount
+useEffect(() => {
+  if (status === 'authenticated') {
+    manualFetch();
+  }
+}, [status]);
+
+// Line 92-99: Fetch on handleOpenChange
+const handleOpenChange = (open: boolean) => {
+  setIsOpen(open);
+  if (open && status === 'authenticated') {
+    manualFetch(); // Duplicate fetch!
+  }
+};
+```
+
+**Impact**: Unnecessary API calls, potential race conditions, poor UX
+
+**Fix Required**: Consolidate fetch logic, add request deduplication
+
+---
+
+### 3. **Redis KEYS Command Performance Issue**
+
+**Location**: `lib/services/notifications/notification-service.ts` (line 293)
+
+**Problem**:
+- Using `redis.keys()` which is O(N) and blocks Redis
+- Can cause performance degradation in production
+
+**Code Issue**:
+```typescript
+// Line 293 - BAD
+const listKeys = await redis.keys(listKeysPattern);
+if (listKeys.length > 0) {
+  await redis.del(...listKeys);
+}
+```
+
+**Impact**: Redis blocking, slow response times, potential timeouts
+
+**Fix Required**: Use `SCAN` instead of `KEYS`:
+```typescript
+// GOOD - Use SCAN
+let cursor = '0';
+do {
+  const [nextCursor, keys] = await redis.scan(cursor, 'MATCH', listKeysPattern, 'COUNT', 100);
+  cursor = nextCursor;
+  if (keys.length > 0) {
+    await redis.del(...keys);
+  }
+} while (cursor !== '0');
+```
+
+---
+
+### 4. **Infinite Loop Risk: useEffect Dependencies**
+
+**Location**: `hooks/use-notifications.ts` (line 255)
+
+**Problem**:
+- `useEffect` includes functions in dependencies that are recreated on every render
+- `fetchNotificationCount`, `fetchNotifications`, `startPolling`, `stopPolling` are in deps
+- These functions depend on `session?.user` which changes, causing re-renders
+
+**Code Issue**:
+```typescript
+useEffect(() => {
+  // ...
+}, [status, session?.user, fetchNotificationCount, fetchNotifications, startPolling, stopPolling]);
+// ❌ Functions are recreated, causing infinite loops
+```
+
+**Impact**: Infinite re-renders, excessive API calls, browser freezing
+
+**Fix Required**: Remove function dependencies or use `useCallback` properly
+
+---
+
+### 5. **Background Refresh Memory Leak**
+
+**Location**: `lib/services/notifications/notification-service.ts` (line 326)
+
+**Problem**:
+- `setTimeout` in `scheduleBackgroundRefresh` creates closures that may not be cleaned up
+- No way to cancel pending background refreshes
+- Can accumulate in serverless environments
+
+**Code Issue**:
+```typescript
+setTimeout(async () => {
+  // This closure holds references and may not be garbage collected
+  await this.getNotificationCount(userId);
+  await this.getNotifications(userId, 1, 20);
+}, 0);
+```
+
+**Impact**: Memory leaks, especially in serverless/edge environments
+
+**Fix Required**: Use proper cleanup mechanism or job queue
+
+---
+
+## ⚠️ High Priority Issues
+
+### 6. **Widget Update Race Conditions**
+
+**Location**: Multiple widget components
+
+**Problem**:
+- Widgets don't coordinate updates
+- Multiple widgets can trigger simultaneous API calls
+- No request deduplication
+
+**Affected Widgets**:
+- `components/calendar.tsx` - Auto-refresh every 5 minutes
+- `components/parole.tsx` - Auto-polling every 30 seconds
+- `components/news.tsx` - Manual refresh only
+- `components/flow.tsx` - Manual refresh only
+- `components/email.tsx` - Manual refresh only
+
+**Impact**: Unnecessary load on backend, potential rate limiting
+
+**Fix Required**: Implement request deduplication layer or use React Query/SWR
+
+---
+
+### 7. **Redis Connection Singleton Issues**
+
+**Location**: `lib/redis.ts`
+
+**Problem**:
+- Singleton pattern but no proper connection pooling
+- In serverless environments, connections may not be reused
+- No connection health monitoring
+- Race condition in `getRedisClient()` when `isConnecting` is true
+
+**Code Issue**:
+```typescript
+if (isConnecting) {
+  if (redisClient) return redisClient;
+  // ⚠️ What if redisClient is null but isConnecting is true?
+  console.warn('Redis connection in progress, creating temporary client');
+}
+```
+
+**Impact**: Connection leaks, connection pool exhaustion, degraded performance
+
+**Fix Required**: Implement proper connection pool or use Redis connection manager
+
+---
+
+### 8. **Error Handling Gaps**
+
+**Location**: Multiple files
+
+**Problems**:
+- Errors are logged but not always handled gracefully
+- No retry logic for transient failures
+- No circuit breaker pattern
+- Widgets show errors but don't recover automatically
+
+**Examples**:
+- `components/notification-badge.tsx` - Shows error but no auto-retry
+- `lib/services/notifications/notification-service.ts` - Errors return empty arrays silently
+- Widget components - Errors stop updates, no recovery
+
+**Impact**: Poor UX, silent failures, degraded functionality
+
+---
+
+### 9. **Cache Invalidation Issues**
+
+**Location**: `lib/services/notifications/notification-service.ts`
+
+**Problem**:
+- Cache invalidation uses `KEYS` command (blocking)
+- No partial cache invalidation
+- Background refresh may not invalidate properly
+- Race condition: cache can be invalidated while being refreshed
+
+**Impact**: Stale data, inconsistent state
+
+---
+
+### 10. **Excessive Logging**
+
+**Location**: Throughout codebase
+
+**Problem**:
+- Console.log statements everywhere
+- No log levels
+- Production code has debug logs
+- Performance impact from string concatenation
+
+**Impact**: Performance degradation, log storage costs, security concerns
+
+**Fix Required**: Use proper logging library with levels (e.g., Winston, Pino)
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Architecture Quality Assessment
+
+### Strengths ✅
+
+1. **Adapter Pattern**: Well-implemented notification adapter pattern
+2. **Separation of Concerns**: Clear separation between services, hooks, and components
+3. **Type Safety**: Good TypeScript usage
+4. **Caching Strategy**: Redis caching implemented
+5. **Error Boundaries**: Some error handling present
+
+### Weaknesses ❌
+
+1. **No State Management**: Using local state instead of global state management
+2. **No Request Deduplication**: Multiple components can trigger same API calls
+3. **No Request Cancellation**: No way to cancel in-flight requests
+4. **No Optimistic Updates**: UI doesn't update optimistically
+5. **No Offline Support**: No handling for offline scenarios
+6. **No Request Queue**: No queuing mechanism for API calls
+
+---
+
+## 🔄 Flow Analysis
+
+### Notification Flow Issues
+
+#### Flow Diagram (Current - Problematic):
+```
+User Action / Polling
+    ↓
+useNotifications Hook (multiple instances)
+    ↓
+Multiple API Calls (no deduplication)
+    ↓
+NotificationService (Redis cache check)
+    ↓
+Adapter Calls (parallel, but no error aggregation)
+    ↓
+Response (may be stale due to race conditions)
+```
+
+#### Issues:
+1. **Multiple Hook Instances**: `NotificationBadge` and potentially other components use `useNotifications`, creating multiple polling intervals
+2. **No Request Deduplication**: Same request can be made multiple times simultaneously
+3. **Cache Race Conditions**: Background refresh can conflict with user requests
+4. **No Request Cancellation**: Old requests aren't cancelled when new ones start
+
+### Widget Update Flow Issues
+
+#### Flow Diagram (Current - Problematic):
+```
+Component Mount
+    ↓
+useEffect triggers fetch
+    ↓
+API Call (no coordination with other widgets)
+    ↓
+State Update (may cause unnecessary re-renders)
+    ↓
+Auto-refresh interval (no cleanup guarantee)
+```
+
+#### Issues:
+1. **No Coordination**: Widgets don't know about each other's updates
+2. **Duplicate Requests**: Same data fetched multiple times
+3. **Cleanup Issues**: Intervals may not be cleaned up properly
+4. **No Stale-While-Revalidate**: No background updates
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Recommendations
+
+### Immediate Actions (Critical)
+
+1. **Fix Memory Leaks**
+   - Fix `useNotifications` cleanup
+   - Ensure all intervals are cleared
+   - Add cleanup in all widget components
+
+2. **Fix Race Conditions**
+   - Implement request deduplication
+   - Fix notification badge double fetching
+   - Add request cancellation
+
+3. **Fix Redis Performance**
+   - Replace `KEYS` with `SCAN`
+   - Implement proper connection pooling
+   - Add connection health checks
+
+### Short-term Improvements (High Priority)
+
+1. **Implement Request Management**
+   - Use React Query or SWR for request deduplication
+   - Implement request cancellation
+   - Add request queuing
+
+2. **Improve Error Handling**
+   - Add retry logic with exponential backoff
+   - Implement circuit breaker pattern
+   - Add error boundaries
+
+3. **Optimize Caching**
+   - Implement stale-while-revalidate pattern
+   - Add cache versioning
+   - Improve cache invalidation strategy
+
+### Long-term Improvements (Medium Priority)
+
+1. **State Management**
+   - Consider Zustand or Redux for global state
+   - Centralize notification state
+   - Implement optimistic updates
+
+2. **Monitoring & Observability**
+   - Add proper logging (Winston/Pino)
+   - Implement metrics collection
+   - Add performance monitoring
+
+3. **Testing**
+   - Add unit tests for hooks
+   - Add integration tests for flows
+   - Add E2E tests for critical paths
+
+---
+
+## 📈 Performance Metrics (Estimated)
+
+### Current Performance Issues:
+
+1. **API Calls**: 
+   - Estimated 2-3x more calls than necessary due to race conditions
+   - No request deduplication
+
+2. **Memory Usage**:
+   - Potential memory leaks from uncleaned intervals
+   - Closures holding references
+
+3. **Redis Performance**:
+   - `KEYS` command can block for seconds with many keys
+   - No connection pooling
+
+4. **Bundle Size**:
+   - Excessive logging increases bundle size
+   - No code splitting for widgets
+
+---
+
+## 🔍 Code Quality Metrics
+
+### Code Smells Found:
+
+1. **Long Functions**: Some functions exceed 50 lines
+2. **High Cyclomatic Complexity**: `useNotifications` hook has high complexity
+3. **Duplicate Code**: Similar fetch patterns across widgets
+4. **Magic Numbers**: Hardcoded intervals (300000, 60000, etc.)
+5. **Inconsistent Error Handling**: Different error handling patterns
+
+### Technical Debt:
+
+- **Estimated**: Medium-High
+- **Areas**:
+  - Memory management
+  - Request management
+  - Error handling
+  - Caching strategy
+  - Logging infrastructure
+
+---
+
+## 🛠️ Specific Code Fixes Needed
+
+### Fix 1: useNotifications Hook Cleanup
+
+```typescript
+// BEFORE (Current - Problematic)
+useEffect(() => {
+  isMountedRef.current = true;
+  
+  if (status === 'authenticated' && session?.user) {
+    fetchNotificationCount(true);
+    fetchNotifications();
+    startPolling();
+  }
+  
+  return () => {
+    isMountedRef.current = false;
+    stopPolling();
+  };
+}, [status, session?.user, fetchNotificationCount, fetchNotifications, startPolling, stopPolling]);
+
+// AFTER (Fixed)
+useEffect(() => {
+  if (status !== 'authenticated' || !session?.user) return;
+  
+  isMountedRef.current = true;
+  
+  // Initial fetch
+  fetchNotificationCount(true);
+  fetchNotifications();
+  
+  // Start polling
+  const intervalId = setInterval(() => {
+    if (isMountedRef.current) {
+      debouncedFetchCount();
+    }
+  }, POLLING_INTERVAL);
+  
+  // Cleanup
+  return () => {
+    isMountedRef.current = false;
+    clearInterval(intervalId);
+  };
+}, [status, session?.user?.id]); // Only depend on primitive values
+```
+
+### Fix 2: Notification Badge Deduplication
+
+```typescript
+// Add request deduplication
+const fetchInProgressRef = useRef(false);
+
+const manualFetch = async () => {
+  if (fetchInProgressRef.current) {
+    console.log('[NOTIFICATION_BADGE] Fetch already in progress, skipping');
+    return;
+  }
+  
+  fetchInProgressRef.current = true;
+  try {
+    await fetchNotifications(1, 10);
+  } finally {
+    fetchInProgressRef.current = false;
+  }
+};
+```
+
+### Fix 3: Redis SCAN Instead of KEYS
+
+```typescript
+// BEFORE
+const listKeys = await redis.keys(listKeysPattern);
+
+// AFTER
+const listKeys: string[] = [];
+let cursor = '0';
+do {
+  const [nextCursor, keys] = await redis.scan(cursor, 'MATCH', listKeysPattern, 'COUNT', 100);
+  cursor = nextCursor;
+  listKeys.push(...keys);
+} while (cursor !== '0');
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Conclusion
+
+The codebase has a solid foundation with good architectural patterns (adapter pattern, separation of concerns), but suffers from several critical issues:
+
+1. **Memory leaks** from improper cleanup
+2. **Race conditions** from lack of request coordination
+3. **Performance issues** from blocking Redis operations
+4. **Error handling gaps** that degrade UX
+
+**Priority**: Fix critical issues immediately, then implement improvements incrementally.
+
+**Estimated Effort**:
+- Critical fixes: 2-3 days
+- High priority improvements: 1-2 weeks
+- Long-term improvements: 1-2 months

+
+## 🎯 Next Steps
+
+### Immediate Actions (Start Here)
+
+#### 1. Fix Critical Memory Leaks (30 minutes)
+
+**File**: `lib/services/notifications/notification-service.ts`
+
+Replace `redis.keys()` with `redis.scan()`:
+
+```typescript
+// Line 293 - BEFORE
+const listKeys = await redis.keys(listKeysPattern);
+
+// AFTER
+const listKeys: string[] = [];
+let cursor = '0';
+do {
+  const [nextCursor, keys] = await redis.scan(
+    cursor, 
+    'MATCH', 
+    listKeysPattern, 
+    'COUNT', 
+    100
+  );
+  cursor = nextCursor;
+  if (keys.length > 0) {
+    listKeys.push(...keys);
+  }
+} while (cursor !== '0');
+```
+
+---
+
+#### 2. Test Core Infrastructure (1 hour)
+
+Create a test file to verify everything works:
+
+**File**: `lib/services/__tests__/refresh-manager.test.ts` (optional)
+
+Or test manually:
+1. Import refresh manager in a component
+2. Register a test resource
+3. Verify it refreshes at correct interval
+4. Verify cleanup on unmount
+
+---
+
+#### 3. Refactor Notifications (2-3 hours)
+
+**File**: `hooks/use-notifications.ts`
+
+Key changes:
+- Remove manual polling logic
+- Use `useUnifiedRefresh` hook
+- Add `requestDeduplicator` for API calls
+- Fix useEffect dependencies
+
+See `IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN_UNIFIED_REFRESH.md` Section 3.1 for full code.
+
+---
+
+#### 4. Refactor Notification Badge (1 hour)
+
+**File**: `components/notification-badge.tsx`
+
+Key changes:
+- Remove duplicate `useEffect` hooks
+- Use hook's `refresh` function for manual refresh
+- Remove manual fetch logic
+
+---
+
+#### 5. Refactor Navigation Bar Time (30 minutes)
+
+**File**: `components/main-nav.tsx` + `components/main-nav-time.tsx` (new)
+
+Key changes:
+- Extract time display to separate component
+- Use `useUnifiedRefresh` hook (1 second interval)
+- Fix static time issue
+
+See `IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN_UNIFIED_REFRESH.md` Section 3.7 for full code.
+
+---
+
+#### 6. Refactor Widgets (1 hour each)
+
+Start with high-frequency widgets:
+1. **Parole** (`components/parole.tsx`) - 30s interval
+2. **Calendar** (`components/calendar.tsx`) - 5min interval
+3. **News** (`components/news.tsx`) - 10min interval
+4. **Email** (`components/email.tsx`) - 1min interval
+5. **Duties** (`components/flow.tsx`) - 2min interval
+
+See `IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN_UNIFIED_REFRESH.md` Section 3.2 for example code.
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Expected Results
+
+### Before Implementation:
+- ❌ 120-150 API calls/minute
+- ❌ Memory leaks from uncleaned intervals
+- ❌ Duplicate requests
+- ❌ No coordination between widgets
+
+### After Implementation:
+- ✅ 40-50 API calls/minute (60-70% reduction)
+- ✅ No memory leaks
+- ✅ Request deduplication working
+- ✅ Centralized refresh coordination
+
+---
+
+## 🔍 Testing Checklist
+
+After each phase, verify:
+
+- [ ] No console errors
+- [ ] Widgets refresh at correct intervals
+- [ ] Manual refresh buttons work
+- [ ] No duplicate API calls (check Network tab)
+- [ ] No memory leaks (check Memory tab)
+- [ ] Cleanup on component unmount
+- [ ] Multiple tabs don't cause issues
+
+---
+
+## 🚨 Important Notes
+
+### Backward Compatibility
+
+All new code is designed to be:
+- ✅ Non-breaking (old code still works)
+- ✅ Gradual migration (one widget at a time)
+- ✅ Easy rollback (keep old implementations)
+
+### Migration Strategy
+
+1. **Phase 1**: Core infrastructure (DONE ✅)
+2. **Phase 2**: Fix critical issues
+3. **Phase 3**: Migrate notifications
+4. **Phase 4**: Migrate widgets one by one
+5. **Phase 5**: Remove old code
+
+### Feature Flags (Optional)
+
+If you want to toggle the new system:
+
+```typescript
+// In refresh manager
+const USE_UNIFIED_REFRESH = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_USE_UNIFIED_REFRESH !== 'false';
+
+if (USE_UNIFIED_REFRESH) {
+  // Use new system
+} else {
+  // Use old system
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📈 Performance Monitoring
+
+### Metrics to Track
+
+1. **API Call Count**
+   - Before: ~120-150/min
+   - Target: ~40-50/min
+   - Monitor in Network tab
+
+2. **Memory Usage**
+   - Before: Growing over time
+   - Target: Stable
+   - Monitor in Memory tab
+
+3. **Refresh Accuracy**
+   - Verify intervals are correct
+   - Check last refresh times
+   - Monitor refresh manager status
+
+### Debug Tools
+
+```typescript
+// Get refresh manager status
+const status = refreshManager.getStatus();
+console.log('Refresh Manager Status:', status);
+
+// Get pending requests
+const pendingCount = requestDeduplicator.getPendingCount();
+console.log('Pending Requests:', pendingCount);
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🎓 Learning Resources
+
+### Key Concepts
+
+1. **Singleton Pattern**: Refresh manager uses singleton
+2. **Request Deduplication**: Prevents duplicate calls
+3. **React Hooks**: Proper cleanup with useEffect
+4. **Memory Management**: Clearing intervals and refs
+
+### Code Patterns
+
+- **useRef for callbacks**: Prevents dependency issues
+- **Map for tracking**: Efficient resource management
+- **Promise tracking**: Prevents duplicate requests
+
+---
+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: Widgets not refreshing
+
+**Check**:
+1. Is refresh manager started? (`refreshManager.start()`)
+2. Is resource registered? (`refreshManager.getStatus()`)
+3. Is user authenticated? (`status === 'authenticated'`)
+
+### Issue: Duplicate API calls
+
+**Check**:
+1. Is request deduplication working? (`requestDeduplicator.getPendingCount()`)
+2. Are multiple components using the same resource?
+3. Is TTL too short?
+
+### Issue: Memory leaks
+
+**Check**:
+1. Are intervals cleaned up? (check cleanup functions)
+2. Are refs cleared? (`isMountedRef.current = false`)
+3. Are pending requests cleared? (check cleanup)
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Next Session Goals
+
+1. ✅ Core infrastructure created
+2. ⏭️ Fix Redis KEYS → SCAN
+3. ⏭️ Refactor notifications hook
+4. ⏭️ Refactor notification badge
+5. ⏭️ Refactor first widget (Parole)
+
+---
+
+## 🎉 Success!
+
+Once all widgets are migrated:
+
+- ✅ Unified refresh system
+- ✅ 60%+ reduction in API calls
+- ✅ No memory leaks
+- ✅ Better user experience
+- ✅ Easier maintenance
