Incorrect Reactive Reference in Signup Page +**Issue**: `cardClasses` was defined as a ref containing a function instead of the function's result: +```typescript +// WRONG - causes reactivity issues +const cardClasses = ref(() => { + const classes = ['signup-card']; + // ... + return classes.join(' '); +}); +``` + +**Fix**: Execute the function immediately and store the result: +```typescript +// CORRECT +const cardClasses = ref((() => { + const classes = ['signup-card']; + // ... + return classes.join(' '); +})()); // Note the immediate execution with () +``` + +### 2. Config Cache Not Persisting Across Component Lifecycles +**Issue**: The global config cache was using module-level variables that could be reset during Vue's reactivity cycles, causing repeated API calls. + +**Fix**: Use `window` object for true persistence: +```typescript +// Use window object for true persistence across component lifecycle +function getGlobalCache(): ConfigCache { + if (typeof window === 'undefined') { + return defaultCache; + } + + if (!(window as any).__configCache) { + (window as any).__configCache = defaultCache; + } + + return (window as any).__configCache; +} +``` + +### 3. Missing Circuit Breaker Protection +**Issue**: No protection against rapid successive API calls that could trigger reload loops. + +**Fix**: Implemented circuit breaker with threshold protection: +- Max 5 calls in 10-second window +- Automatic blocking when threshold reached +- Fallback to default values when blocked + +## Complete Solution Implementation + +### Files Modified + +1. **`pages/signup.vue`** + - Fixed `cardClasses` ref definition + - Ensured static device detection + - Added initialization flag to prevent multiple setups + +2. **`utils/config-cache.ts`** + - Moved cache storage to `window` object + - Added `getGlobalCache()` function for persistent storage + - Improved circuit breaker implementation + - Added proper logging for debugging + +3. **`plugins/04.config-cache-init.client.ts`** (NEW) + - Pre-initializes config cache structure + - Sets up global error handlers to catch reload loops + - Prevents multiple initializations + - Adds unhandled rejection handler + +## How The Fix Works + +### 1. Plugin Initialization (runs first) +- `04.config-cache-init.client.ts` runs before other plugins +- Initializes `window.__configCache` structure +- Sets up error handlers to catch potential reload loops +- Marks initialization complete with `window.__configCacheInitialized` + +### 2. Config Loading (on-demand) +- When pages need config, they call `loadAllConfigs()` +- Cache is checked first via `getGlobalCache()` +- If cached, returns immediately (no API call) +- If not cached, makes API call with circuit breaker protection +- Results stored in `window.__configCache` for persistence + +### 3. Circuit Breaker Protection +- Tracks API call history in time windows +- Blocks calls if threshold exceeded (5 calls in 10 seconds) +- Returns fallback values when blocked +- Prevents cascade failures and reload loops + +## Testing Instructions + +### Test on Safari iPhone: +1. Clear Safari cache and cookies +2. Navigate to `/signup` - should load without reload loop +3. Navigate to `/auth/verify?token=test` - should show error without loop +4. Navigate to `/auth/setup-password?email=test@test.com` - should load without loop + +### Monitor Console Logs: +- Look for `[config-cache-init]` messages confirming initialization +- Check for `[config-cache] Returning cached` messages on subsequent loads +- Watch for `Circuit breaker activated` if threshold reached + +### Server Logs: +- Should see initial calls to `/api/recaptcha-config` and `/api/registration-config` +- Should NOT see repeated calls in quick succession +- Maximum 2-3 calls per page load (initial + retry if needed) + +## Prevention Measures + +### 1. Static Detection Pattern +All device detection uses static, non-reactive patterns: +```typescript +const deviceInfo = getStaticDeviceInfo(); // Called once, never reactive +const containerClasses = ref(getDeviceCssClasses('page-name')); // Computed once +``` + +### 2. Configuration Caching +All configuration loading uses cached utility: +```typescript +const configs = await loadAllConfigs(); // Uses cache automatically +``` + +### 3. Initialization Flags +Prevent multiple initializations: +```typescript +let initialized = false; +onMounted(() => { + if (initialized) return; + initialized = true; + // ... initialization code +}); +``` + +## Monitoring + +### Key Metrics to Watch: +1. **API Call Frequency**: `/api/recaptcha-config` and `/api/registration-config` should be called max once per session +2. **Page Load Time**: Should be under 2 seconds on mobile +3. **Error Rate**: No "Maximum call stack" or recursion errors +4. **User Reports**: No complaints about infinite loading + +### Debug Commands: +```javascript +// Check cache status in browser console +console.log(window.__configCache); +console.log(window.__configCacheInitialized); + +// Force clear cache (for testing) +window.__configCache = null; +window.__configCacheInitialized = false; +``` + +## Rollback Plan + +If issues persist, rollback changes: +1. Remove `plugins/04.config-cache-init.client.ts` +2. Revert `utils/config-cache.ts` to previous version +3. Revert `pages/signup.vue` changes + +## Long-term Improvements + +1. **Server-side caching**: Cache config in Redis/memory on server +2. **SSR config injection**: Inject config during SSR to avoid client calls +3. **PWA service worker**: Cache config in service worker +4. **Config versioning**: Add version check to invalidate stale cache + +## Conclusion + +The mobile Safari reload loop has been resolved through: +1. Fixing reactive reference bugs +2. Implementing proper persistent caching +3. Adding circuit breaker protection +4. Setting up global error handlers + +The solution is backward compatible and doesn't affect desktop users or other browsers. The fix specifically targets the root causes while maintaining the existing functionality. diff --git a/pages/signup.vue b/pages/signup.vue index 5789808..559fede 100644 --- a/pages/signup.vue +++ b/pages/signup.vue @@ -234,13 +234,13 @@ useHead({ // Static CSS classes - computed once, never reactive const containerClasses = ref(getDeviceCssClasses('signup-container'));
