## Architecture

```
User Flow:
1. Visit homepage (/)
2. Click "Login" or "Sign Up" in UserNav
3. AuthModal opens with login/register form
4. Submit credentials
5. AuthService sends request to Django backend
6. On success: tokens stored in localStorage
7. AuthContext updates user state
8. User redirected to /dashboard
9. Auto token refresh runs every minute
```

## Component Hierarchy

```
app/layout.tsx
└── AuthProvider (provides auth context)
    └── app/page.tsx (home)
        └── UserNav (login/register buttons or user menu)
            └── AuthModal (login/register forms)
                ├── LoginForm
                ├── RegisterForm
                ├── PasswordResetForm
                └── OAuthButtons
    └── app/dashboard/page.tsx (protected)
        └── User dashboard (requires authentication)
```

## Authentication Flow Details

### Login Flow
1. User clicks "Login" → AuthModal opens
2. User enters email/password → LoginForm validates
3. LoginForm calls `useAuth().login(credentials)`
4. authService.login() sends POST to `/api/v1/auth/login/`
5. Django returns JWT tokens (access + refresh)
6. Tokens stored in localStorage via tokenStorage
7. authService.getCurrentUser() fetches user data
8. AuthContext updates `user` state
9. LoginForm closes modal
10. UserNav shows user profile

### MFA Challenge Flow (if MFA enabled)
1. Login returns `mfa_required: true`
2. LoginForm shows MFA challenge input
3. User enters TOTP code
4. authService.verifyMfaChallenge() sends code
5. Django validates and returns tokens
6. Continue with normal login flow

### OAuth Flow
1. User clicks "Sign in with Google/Discord"
2. oauthService.initiateOAuth() redirects to Django
3. Django redirects to provider (Google/Discord)
4. User authorizes on provider
5. Provider redirects to `/auth/oauth/callback`
6. Callback page extracts tokens from URL
7. Tokens stored in localStorage
8. User redirected to dashboard

### Logout Flow
1. User clicks "Logout"
2. authService.logout() calls Django endpoint
3. Tokens cleared from localStorage
4. AuthContext resets user state
5. User redirected to home page

### Auto Token Refresh
1. AuthContext starts interval (checks every 60 seconds)
2. Checks if access token expires in < 5 minutes
3. If yes, calls authService.refreshAccessToken()
4. Sends refresh token to Django
5. Receives new access token
6. Updates localStorage
7. Continues checking

## API Integration

### Django Backend Endpoints Used
- **POST** `/api/v1/auth/register/` - User registration
- **POST** `/api/v1/auth/login/` - Login with email/password
- **POST** `/api/v1/auth/logout/` - Logout
- **POST** `/api/v1/auth/refresh/` - Refresh access token
- **GET** `/api/v1/auth/user/` - Get current user
- **POST** `/api/v1/auth/password/reset/` - Request password reset
- **POST** `/api/v1/auth/password/reset/confirm/` - Confirm password reset
- **POST** `/api/v1/auth/mfa/verify/` - Verify MFA challenge
- **GET** `/api/v1/auth/oauth/google/` - Initiate Google OAuth
- **GET** `/api/v1/auth/oauth/discord/` - Initiate Discord OAuth

### Frontend Services Layer
- `lib/services/auth/authService.ts` - Core auth operations
- `lib/services/auth/oauthService.ts` - OAuth handling
- `lib/services/auth/mfaService.ts` - MFA operations
- `lib/services/auth/tokenStorage.ts` - Token management
- `lib/contexts/AuthContext.tsx` - React context provider
- `lib/api/client.ts` - Axios client with interceptors

## Token Management

### Storage
- **Access Token:** localStorage (`thrillwiki_access_token`)
- **Refresh Token:** localStorage (`thrillwiki_refresh_token`)
- **Expiry Times:** Decoded from JWT payload

### Security Considerations
- Tokens stored in localStorage (XSS protection needed)
- HTTPS required in production
- CORS configured on Django backend
- CSRF tokens for OAuth flows
- Auto token refresh prevents session expiry

## Testing Checklist

### Manual Testing Required

#### 1. Registration Flow
- [ ] Open homepage
- [ ] Click "Sign Up"
- [ ] Fill registration form

### Backend Testing

Ensure Django backend is running:
```bash
cd django-backend
python manage.py runserver
```

Check these endpoints work:
- http://localhost:8000/api/v1/auth/user/ (should return 401 without auth)
- http://localhost:8000/admin/ (Django admin should be accessible)

### Frontend Testing

Start the Next.js dev server:
```bash
npm run dev
# or
bun dev
```

Visit: http://localhost:3000

## Environment Variables

### Required (.env.local)
```bash
NEXT_PUBLIC_DJANGO_API_URL=http://localhost:8000
```

### Django Backend (.env)
```bash
# OAuth (if using)
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=your_google_client_id
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=your_google_client_secret
DISCORD_CLIENT_ID=your_discord_client_id
DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET=your_discord_client_secret

# MFA
MFA_WEBAUTHN_RP_ID=localhost
MFA_WEBAUTHN_ALLOW_INSECURE_ORIGIN=true

# Email (for password reset)
EMAIL_BACKEND=django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend
# or configure SMTP settings
```

## Known Limitations

1. **Client-Side Protection Only**
   - Dashboard uses client-side redirect
   - No server-side middleware (tokens in localStorage)
   - Future: Consider moving to httpOnly cookies for SSR protection

2. **Email Verification**
   - Backend supports it but no UI created yet
   - Users can login without verifying email

3. **WebAuthn/Passkeys**
   - Backend ready but no UI components created
   - Future enhancement

4. **Profile Management**
   - No profile edit page yet
   - Can only view profile on dashboard

5. **Session Management**
   - No "active sessions" view
   - No "logout all devices" functionality

## Next Steps

### Immediate Priorities
1. **Manual Testing** - Test all auth flows
2. **Error Handling** - Test error scenarios
3. **Security Audit** - Review token storage approach
4. **Production Config** - Update for production URLs

### Future Enhancements
1. **Server-Side Middleware**
   - Move tokens to httpOnly cookies
   - Add Next.js middleware for route protection

2. **Profile Management**
   - Edit profile page
   - Change password page
   - Account settings page

3. **Email Verification**
   - Verification UI
   - Resend email button

4. **WebAuthn/Passkeys**
   - Passkey registration UI
   - Passkey login UI

5. **Remember Me**
   - Checkbox for extended sessions
   - Longer token expiry

6. **Social Features**
   - Link/unlink OAuth providers
   - View connected accounts

7. **Security Features**
   - Two-factor authentication setup
   - Backup codes
   - Active sessions management
