SECURITY
AUTHENTICATION FLOW
───────────────────
1. User logs in
↓
2. Backend verifies credentials
↓
3. Backend generates JWT token
↓
4. Frontend stores in localStorage
↓
5. Every API request includes:
Authorization: Bearer <token>
↓
6. Backend validates token
↓
7. If valid → allow request
If invalid → 401 response
↓
8. Frontend intercepts 401 → redirect to login
WEBSOCKET AUTHENTICATION
─────────────────────────
1. Client connects with:
auth: { token: JWT }
↓
2. Server validates token
↓
3. If valid → establish connection
If invalid → reject connection
↓
4. All WebSocket messages
associated with user_id
from token
REAL-TIME FEATURES
TYPING INDICATORS
─────────────────
User types → Start timeout
↓
Emit typing_start
↓
Backend broadcasts to channel
↓
Other users see "User is typing..."
↓
After 2 seconds of no typing
↓
Emit typing_stop
↓
Indicator disappears
ONLINE STATUS
─────────────
User connects → WebSocket established
↓
User marked online
↓
Broadcast user_online
↓
User disconnects/closes tab
↓
User marked offline
↓
Broadcast user_offline

TOKEN EFFICIENCY
Session 1-2: Backend Development
─────────────────────────────────
Planning + Architecture: 20k tokens
Auth System: 12k tokens
Channels: 10k tokens
Messages + @grimlock: 15k tokens
WebSocket: 25k tokens
DMs: 15k tokens
Files: 12k tokens
Testing + Docs: 31k tokens
────────────
Total Backend: 140k tokens
Session 3: Frontend Development
────────────────────────────────
Context Loading: 15k tokens
Auth Pages: 8k tokens
Main Layout: 6k tokens
Sidebar: 5k tokens
Channel Page: 8k tokens
DM Page: 7k tokens
