Summary

Significant performance improvements by eliminating an initialization effect, making auth state sync happen synchronously, and adding per-user memoized session caching. Also introduced smarter background session syncing to avoid duplicate calls. UI now renders immediately for returning guests and authenticated users without blocking full-page load.

Changes

Core functionality

  • Authenticate state initialized synchronously in the auth store
    • getInitialAuthState() reads localStorage synchronously during store creation to determine API key and user data
    • Removed useAuthSync initialization effect; auth state is set before components mount
    • GatewayzAuthProvider clears session cache on logout and invalidates relevant query caches
  • Clear cache on logout to prevent data leakage between users
    • Added clearSessionCacheOnLogout() helper to wipe per-user cache and legacy cache keys

Caching improvements (per-user, memoized)

  • session-cache.ts
    • Introduced user-scoped cache keys and per-user cache validation
    • Added in-memory cache layer with TTL and invalidateMemoryCache()
    • Cache now supports per-user isolation via current userId
    • Legacy (guest) cache handling preserved and cleared as needed
    • clearSessionCacheOnLogout() implemented to securely clear caches on logout
    • clearSessionCache() now clears per-user cache and legacy keys
    • getSessionCacheStats() and related helpers updated to reflect per-user scope
  • New session-cache tests (src/lib/tests/session-cache.test.ts)
    • Validate user-scoped keys, per-user isolation, cache operations, memory layer, and logout clears

Background sync optimization

  • Chat history optimization (src/lib/chat-history.ts)
    • Added static guards to prevent duplicate background syncs (syncInProgress, lastSyncTime, SYNC_DEBOUNCE_MS)
    • Debounced background sync to only run if not already syncing and enough time has elapsed
    • Updated to mark lastSyncTime on success and reset syncInProgress on completion

Hooks, queries, and provider optimizations

  • src/lib/hooks/use-auth-sync.ts
    • Removed localStorage initialization effect; comments reflect that init moved to auth-store
  • src/lib/hooks/use-chat-queries.ts
    • Remove isAuthenticated from the chat-sessions queryKey to prevent cache invalidation on auth changes
    • Enable and seed initial data from cache when available; use getCachedSessions() and getGuestSessions()
    • Added initialData logic to serve cached data immediately and reduce perceived load
    • Extended staleTime handling and memoization for chat data
  • src/lib/providers/query-provider.tsx
    • Increased default staleTime to 5 minutes (was 60s)
    • Disable refetch on mount to rely on cached data

UI and layout

  • src/components/chat-v2/ChatLayout.tsx
    • Trigger auth sync without blocking full-page loading spinner; removed the full-page loading UI while auth is resolving

Tests and tests structure

  • New tests and mocks for auth and session cache (see new test files under src/lib/store/tests/auth-store.test.ts and src/lib/tests/session-cache.test.ts)
  • Updated tests for useAuthSync to reflect removal of the initialization effect
  • Wrapped test providers with fresh QueryClient instances to avoid shared state between tests

Test plan

  • Local development server scenarios:
    • Guest user (no credentials): app renders welcome screen immediately without a long loading spinner; verify no full-page spinner appears.
    • Returning authenticated user: credentials loaded synchronously from localStorage; cached sessions populate UI quickly via memory/localStorage cache; subsequent background syncs use debounced calls.
    • Logout flow: navigate to logout, ensure caches are cleared (per-user cache and legacy key); next user does not see previous user data.
    • Multi-user switch: simulate switch between user A and user B; ensure per-user caches do not leak across users and memory cache invalidates as needed.
  • Unit tests:
    • Run test suites for new session-cache tests, auth-store tests, and updated hook tests.
    • Verify that auth initialization tests reflect synchronous init in the store and no calls to setAuth/setLoading from useAuthSync.

Breaking changes / notes

  • useAuthSync no longer performs initialization on mount; auth state is initialized synchronously in auth-store.ts during store creation. If any code depended on the old effect, it should now rely on the new synchronous init.
  • Chat UI now renders with cached data earlier; components should handle their own loading states. The previous full-page loader during auth loading is removed.
  • Cache keys are now strictly per-user; guest cache behavior still exists but is clearly separated. Ensure any direct reads rely on the new per-user cache API.

Why this matters

  • Reduces initial load times drastically for returning users by removing a heavy initialization effect
  • Improves security by ensuring per-user data does not leak across sessions
  • Improves UX by showing cached data instantly and performing background refreshes with debounce to avoid thrashing

If you want any adjustments to the testing approach or further onboarding docs, let me know and I’ll add them.

Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

This PR speeds up initial render by moving auth initialization into synchronous Zustand store creation, removing the mount-time localStorage effect from useAuthSync, and optimizing React Query defaults to prefer cached data (longer staleTime, no refetch-on-mount). It also introduces a per-user session cache (localStorage keys scoped by userId plus an in-memory TTL layer) and adds logout-time cache clearing + query invalidation to avoid cross-user data exposure. Background session syncing in chat history is debounced to avoid duplicate refresh calls.

Main issue to address before merge: useChatSessions now uses a single ['chat-sessions'] queryKey while still returning different datasets depending on auth state (guest vs authenticated). With the new React Query defaults (no refetch on mount + longer staleTime), this can make guest results overwrite authenticated results (or vice versa) and persist until an explicit invalidation/refetch.

Confidence Score: 3/5

  • This PR is close to mergeable but has a correctness issue in chat sessions caching that should be fixed first.
  • Most changes are straightforward performance/cache tweaks with added tests, but the removal of auth/user scoping from the React Query chat-sessions key while returning different data per auth state will cause deterministic cache collisions under the new long staleTime / no-refetch-on-mount defaults.
  • src/lib/hooks/use-chat-queries.ts

…ata leak

When a user logs out and another user logs in on the same browser,
the session cache was returning cached sessions from the previous user.
This could briefly expose session titles and metadata to the wrong user.

Changes:
- Scope localStorage cache key by user ID (gatewayz_session_cache_<userId>)
- Add userId field to cached data for validation
- Validate userId matches current user on cache read
- Invalidate memory cache when user mismatch detected
- Clear session cache on logout (clearSessionCacheOnLogout)
- Add comprehensive tests for user-scoped caching

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR optimizes authentication initialization, session caching, and React Query state management. Auth state now synchronously initializes during store creation rather than on component mount. Session caches are scoped per-user with in-memory TTL layers. Chat history syncs are debounced to prevent concurrent requests. React Query defaults extend cache retention times and prevent automatic remount refetches. Cache invalidation patterns simplify to unified keys. Full-page auth-loading spinner is removed from ChatLayout.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Auth Store & Sync Refactoring
src/lib/store/auth-store.ts, src/lib/hooks/use-auth-sync.ts, src/lib/store/__tests__/auth-store.test.ts, src/lib/hooks/__tests__/use-auth-sync.test.ts
Moved auth initialization from mount-time effect to synchronous store creation via new getInitialAuthState() helper. Updated tests to verify no initialization calls on mount. Removed on-mount localStorage effect from useAuthSync.
Session Cache Enhancements
src/lib/session-cache.ts, src/lib/__tests__/session-cache.test.ts

Chat History Sync Optimization
src/lib/chat-history.ts
Added private static debounce guards (syncInProgress, lastSyncTime, SYNC_DEBOUNCE_MS) to prevent concurrent background syncs. Replaced direct retry calls with debounced, guarded sync that respects 5-second throttle window.
React Query Configuration & Hooks
src/lib/providers/query-provider.tsx, src/lib/hooks/use-chat-queries.ts
Extended staleTime to 5 minutes, added 30-minute gcTime, and disabled refetchOnMount. Removed isAuthenticated from cache keys to prevent auth-change invalidations. Added initialData seeding from session-cache and unified mutation invalidations to consistent ['chat-sessions'] key.
Auth Context & UI Layer
src/context/gatewayz-auth-context.tsx, src/components/chat-v2/ChatLayout.tsx
Added pre-logout session cache clearance and React Query invalidation for chat data on logout. Removed full-page auth-loading spinner from ChatLayout; UI now renders immediately with per-component loading states.
Test Infrastructure
src/__tests__/context/auth-timeout.test.tsx
Added per-test React Query isolation by wrapping components with fresh QueryClientProvider inside test wrapper, preventing shared state across tests.

Guest/auth sessions share cache

useChatSessions now uses a single queryKey: ['chat-sessions'] (after removing isAuthenticated) but the queryFn still returns different datasets depending on auth state (guest local cache vs authenticated sessions). This guarantees cache collisions: e.g. after logout the guest result overwrites ['chat-sessions'], and with refetchOnMount: false + 5m staleTime (src/lib/providers/query-provider.tsx:6-21) a subsequent login can render the guest list from cache until a manual invalidation/refetch. Please re-scope the key (e.g., include user identity/auth state) or otherwise ensure guest/auth results cannot overwrite each other.

Comment:
**Guest/auth sessions share cache**

`useChatSessions` now uses a single `queryKey: ['chat-sessions']` (after removing `isAuthenticated`) but the `queryFn` still returns *different datasets* depending on auth state (guest local cache vs authenticated sessions). This guarantees cache collisions: e.g. after logout the guest result overwrites `['chat-sessions']`, and with `refetchOnMount: false` + 5m `staleTime` (src/lib/providers/query-provider.tsx:6-21) a subsequent login can render the guest list from cache until a manual invalidation/refetch. Please re-scope the key (e.g., include user identity/auth state) or otherwise ensure guest/auth results cannot overwrite each other.

How can I resolve this? If you propose a fix, please make it concise.

Bug: The ChatHistoryAPI class uses static properties for sync guards, causing concurrent instances to incorrectly block each other's background sync operations, leading to skipped updates.
Severity: MEDIUM

Suggested Fix

Convert the static properties syncInProgress and lastSyncTime to private instance properties (e.g., private syncInProgress: boolean = false;). This will ensure that each ChatHistoryAPI instance manages its own sync state independently, preventing cross-instance interference and allowing sync operations to proceed as intended for each instance.

Location: src/lib/chat-history.ts#L105-L110

Potential issue: The `ChatHistoryAPI` class uses static properties `syncInProgress` and
`lastSyncTime` to manage background data synchronization. Because these properties are
static, they are shared across all instances of the class. When multiple instances are
created (e.g., by different hooks for the same user), one instance's sync operation can
incorrectly block another's by setting the shared `syncInProgress` flag to true. This
prevents concurrent syncs, leading to skipped background updates and potential
performance degradation, although it does not cause data corruption as each instance
uses its own credentials for fetching.

249-252: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

useAuthStore.getState() in the return bypasses Zustand subscriptions.

Calling useAuthStore.getState() during render reads the store value without subscribing to changes. If isAuthenticated changes after this hook's consumers mount, they won't re-render. The consumers of useAuthSync() will only see stale values unless something else causes a re-render.

If this is intentional (to avoid render cascades), it's fine but worth a comment. If consumers need reactive updates, use useAuthStore((s) => s.isAuthenticated) instead, or use the values already destructured at line 65.

Suggested fix using already-destructured values or proper selectors
+  const isAuthenticated = useAuthStore((s) => s.isAuthenticated);
+
   return {
-    isLoading: isLoading && !useAuthStore.getState().isAuthenticated, // Only loading if we don't have auth yet
-    isAuthenticated: useAuthStore.getState().isAuthenticated
+    isLoading: isLoading && !isAuthenticated,

In `@src/__tests__/context/auth-timeout.test.tsx`:
- Around line 51-58: The QueryClient is being recreated on every render because
createTestQueryClient() is called inside the wrapper component; hoist the
QueryClient creation out of the wrapper so the same client instance is reused
across renders (keep a single const queryClient = createTestQueryClient() at the
test scope) and pass that stable queryClient into the QueryClientProvider inside
wrapper (affecting the wrapper used by renderHook/rerender to avoid resetting
cached queries).

In `@src/lib/chat-history.ts`:
- Around line 688-699: The current code sets ChatHistoryAPI.lastSyncTime only on
successful fetch (inside the .then block), causing shouldSync to always return
true during failures; move the update of ChatHistoryAPI.lastSyncTime into the
.finally() block so the debounce window is applied regardless of outcome, keep
setCachedSessions(sessions) in the .then() so successful responses still update
cache, and ensure ChatHistoryAPI.syncInProgress is cleared after lastSyncTime is
updated in the .finally() to preserve the existing sync lifecycle.

In `@src/lib/session-cache.ts`:
- Around line 136-142: The current ownership guard only rejects cache entries
when data.userId is defined and differs from currentUserId, which lets legacy
entries lacking userId slip through; update the check in the session validation
branch (the block that calls clearSessionCache()) to treat missing userId as a
mismatch — i.e., if data.userId === undefined OR data.userId !== currentUserId
then clearSessionCache() and return []; adjust the condition where data.userId
is evaluated to enforce this stricter ownership policy.
- Around line 38-45: The getCacheKey function uses a falsy check (if (userId))
which treats userId === 0 as a guest; change the check to explicitly test for
presence (e.g., userId !== undefined && userId !== null or typeof userId !==
"undefined") so a legitimate 0 id will produce `${CACHE_KEY_PREFIX}_${userId}`;
update getCacheKey to use that explicit null/undefined check while still falling
back to `${CACHE_KEY_PREFIX}_guest` when no id is present.

In `@src/lib/store/__tests__/auth-store.test.ts`:
- Around line 128-143: The test for clearAuth is missing verification that
clearSessionCacheOnLogout is invoked; add a Jest mock for the
'@/lib/session-cache' module (create mockClearSessionCacheOnLogout = jest.fn()
and have clearSessionCacheOnLogout return/invoke it) alongside the other mocks
at the top of the test file, then in the clearAuth test (which calls
useAuthStore.getState().clearAuth()) add an assertion that
mockClearSessionCacheOnLogout was called (e.g., toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1)) after
the action; reference the clearAuth method on useAuthStore and the
clearSessionCacheOnLogout mock when updating the test.

In `@src/lib/store/auth-store.ts`:
- Around line 25-61: getInitialAuthState() is executed at module load and
returns different server vs client values causing hydration mismatches; change
initialization so the store starts in a neutral "loading" state on both server
and client and only reads localStorage inside a client-only effect: keep
getInitialAuthState/getApiKey/getUserData but set initialState to isLoading:
true/isAuthenticated: false by default (referencing initialState and AuthState),
then in a client-only effect (useEffect or useLayoutEffect) dispatch an action
or call a setter that reads localStorage via getInitialAuthState() to update
apiKey/userData/isAuthenticated/isLoading; update any components like
ChatLayout/GuestChatCounter to tolerate transient loading state (or use
suppressHydrationWarning) until the client-side update completes.
🧹 Nitpick comments (8)
src/lib/chat-history.ts (1)

105-110: Static sync state is shared across all ChatHistoryAPI instances.

Since these are static, they're shared by every instance. If a new ChatHistoryAPI is constructed during an auth transition (e.g., user switches accounts, API key changes), the new instance inherits the old debounce/in-progress state and may skip its first sync. For a single-user app with sequential auth flows this is likely fine, but it's worth being aware of.

src/lib/providers/query-provider.tsx (1)

12-20: Global refetchOnMount: false may cause stale data for new or forgotten queries.

The combination of staleTime: 5min + refetchOnMount: false as global defaults means any query that doesn't explicitly override these will never refetch on component mount, even after data becomes stale. This heavily depends on every cache-mutation path calling invalidateQueries correctly. If any invalidation path is missed (or a new query is added without overriding), users will silently see stale data.

Consider keeping refetchOnMount at its default (true) globally and setting refetchOnMount: false only on the specific queries that benefit from it (e.g., chat-sessions). Alternatively, use refetchOnMount: 'always' only where freshness is critical, and leave the global default as-is if the team is confident all invalidation paths are covered.

src/lib/hooks/__tests__/use-auth-sync.test.ts (1)

46-52: AUTH_REFRESH_EVENT is mocked but never tested.

The mock adds AUTH_REFRESH_EVENT: 'gatewayz:refresh-auth' (line 51), but no test exercises the event handler that listens for it. Consider adding a test that dispatches AUTH_REFRESH_EVENT and verifies setAuth is called with the stored credentials.

src/lib/session-cache.ts (1)

110-151: Consider extracting the repeated read-with-validation pattern.

getCachedSessions, getCachedDefaultModel, and getCachedRecentModels all follow the same structure: check memory cache → fall back to localStorage → validate expiry → validate userId → update memory cache → extract field. This could be factored into a shared helper like getValidatedCacheData(): SessionCacheData | null that handles the common validation logic, with each getter just extracting its field.

Example helper extraction
function getValidatedCacheData(): SessionCacheData | null {
  const currentUserId = getCurrentUserId();

  const memCached = getMemoryCachedData();
  if (memCached && isCacheValid(memCached)) {
    if (memCached.userId === currentUserId) return memCached;
    invalidateMemoryCache();
  }

  const cached = safeLocalStorageGet(getCacheKey());
  if (!cached) return null;

  const data = JSON.parse(cached) as SessionCacheData;
  if (!isCacheValid(data)) { clearSessionCache(); return null; }
  if (data.userId !== undefined && data.userId !== currentUserId) { clearSessionCache(); return null; }

  setMemoryCachedData(data);
  return data;

1658-1667: Consider removeQueries instead of invalidateQueries for logout.

invalidateQueries marks queries as stale and triggers a background refetch for any mounted observers. After logout, this means useChatSessions (if mounted) will refetch and hit the queryFn, which will return guest sessions — a benign but unnecessary network call (or localStorage read). Using queryClient.removeQueries(...) would immediately clear the cached data without triggering a refetch, which is typically what you want on logout.

This is not a security issue since clearSessionCacheOnLogout() is correctly called first, but it's a cleaner pattern for logout flows.

♻️ Suggested change
   const logout = useCallback(async () => {
     // Clear session cache BEFORE clearing credentials (while user ID is still available)
     clearSessionCacheOnLogout();
     clearStoredCredentials();
     await privyLogout();
     // Invalidate React Query cache to prevent stale data showing to next user
-    queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['chat-sessions'] });
-    queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: ['chat-messages'] });
+    queryClient.removeQueries({ queryKey: ['chat-sessions'] });
+    queryClient.removeQueries({ queryKey: ['chat-messages'] });
     setAuthStatus("unauthenticated", "logout");
   }, [clearStoredCredentials, privyLogout, setAuthStatus, queryClient]);
src/__tests__/context/auth-timeout.test.tsx (1)

9-32: Missing mock for @/lib/session-cache.

GatewayzAuthProvider now imports clearSessionCacheOnLogout from @/lib/session-cache. Without mocking this module, tests depend on the real implementation (including localStorage side effects from getCacheKey, getCurrentUserId, etc.). Add a mock to keep the test isolated:

jest.mock('@/lib/session-cache', () => ({
  clearSessionCacheOnLogout: jest.fn(),
}));
src/lib/hooks/use-chat-queries.ts (2)

69-82: Review the initialData fallback for authenticated users with empty cache.

The fallback to getGuestSessions() on line 79 means that an authenticated user with no session cache will briefly see guest sessions (if any exist) as initial data before the server response arrives. This may cause a brief flash of guest data in the sidebar for users who chatted as guests then logged in.

If this is intentional (showing continuity of guest sessions), it's fine. If not, you could guard the fallback:

     initialData: () => {
       const cached = getCachedSessions();
       if (cached.length > 0 && (isAuthenticated || isLoading)) return cached;
-      return getGuestSessions();
+      // Only show guest sessions for unauthenticated users
+      if (!isAuthenticated && !isLoading) return getGuestSessions();
+      return undefined;
     },

202-209: Redundant invalidation before setQueryData.

invalidateQueries on line 204 marks the query as stale and schedules a background refetch, while setQueryData on line 206 immediately updates the cache. The refetch triggered by invalidateQueries will overwrite the setQueryData result when it completes. If the intent is an optimistic update, you typically only need setQueryData. If the intent is to ensure server consistency, only invalidateQueries suffices.

Using both together means the optimistic update is immediately visible but then replaced by server data — which is a valid pattern if you expect the server response may differ (e.g., title normalization). If that's intentional, consider adding a brief comment clarifying the intent.

QueryClient is recreated on every re-render, which will reset query state mid-test.

createTestQueryClient() is called inside the wrapper function body. Since renderHook treats this as a React component, every re-render (including rerender() at line 459) creates a brand-new QueryClient, discarding all cached queries. This can cause subtle test flakiness.

Hoist the client creation to be stable across renders:

🔧 Proposed fix

-    const queryClient = createTestQueryClient();
-    return (
-      <QueryClientProvider client={queryClient}>

-      </QueryClientProvider>

lastSyncTime not updated on failure — debounce bypassed during outages.

When the background sync fails, lastSyncTime remains stale, so the shouldSync check on Line 657 passes on every subsequent call. During a backend outage with frequent component remounts, this turns into unbounded retries (each with maxRetries: 2 internally), negating the debounce protection.

Move the lastSyncTime update into .finally() so the debounce window applies regardless of outcome:

Proposed fix
         .then(sessions => {
           // Update cache with fresh data
           setCachedSessions(sessions);

userId === 0 would be treated as a guest user.

if (userId) on line 40 is falsy for 0. If any user could have user_id: 0 (e.g., a system/default user), their cache would be stored under the guest key. In practice, database-assigned IDs are positive integers, so this is unlikely to be an issue, but a strict check would be safer.

Legacy cache entries without userId bypass the ownership check.

The guard data.userId !== undefined means old cache entries that predate the per-user scoping (and lack the userId field) will be served to any user who happens to read from the legacy key path. While getCacheKey() routes different users to different keys, there's a brief migration window where a user-scoped key could have been written by old code without userId set.

This is a low-risk issue since the old code didn't scope by user at all and the TTL will naturally expire old entries, but for defense-in-depth, consider treating data.userId === undefined as a cache miss:

Stricter ownership check
-    if (data.userId !== undefined && data.userId !== currentUserId) {
+    if (data.userId === undefined || data.userId !== currentUserId) {
       // Cache belongs to different user - clear and return empty

Verify that clearSessionCacheOnLogout is called during clearAuth.

Per the store implementation (auth-store.ts line 70-72), clearAuth calls clearSessionCacheOnLogout() before resetting state. This is a security-critical behavior (prevents cross-user data leakage), but the test doesn't verify it. Mock @/lib/session-cache and assert the call:

🔧 Proposed enhancement

Add at the top of the file with the other mocks:

const mockClearSessionCacheOnLogout = jest.fn();

jest.mock('@/lib/session-cache', () => ({
  clearSessionCacheOnLogout: () => mockClearSessionCacheOnLogout(),
}));

Then update the clearAuth test:

   it('should clear authenticated state correctly', () => {
     // Arrange: Set up authenticated state first
     const { useAuthStore } = require('../auth-store');
     useAuthStore.getState().setAuth('some-key', { user_id: 1 } as any);

     // Act
     useAuthStore.getState().clearAuth();
     const state = useAuthStore.getState();

     // Assert
     expect(state.apiKey).toBeNull();
     expect(state.userData).toBeNull();
     expect(state.isAuthenticated).toBe(false);
     expect(state.isLoading).toBe(false);
+    // Verify session cache is cleared on logout (prevents cross-user data leakage)

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Potential SSR/client hydration mismatch.

getInitialAuthState() runs at module scope (line 61) and returns different values on server (isLoading: true, isAuthenticated: false) vs. client (isLoading: false, isAuthenticated: true for returning users). Any component that branches its rendered output based on isAuthenticated or isLoading from this store will produce different HTML on the server vs. client initial render, triggering React hydration warnings.

For example, ChatLayout conditionally renders <GuestChatCounter> based on !isAuthenticated — this will appear in server HTML but be absent in client hydration for authenticated users.

This can be mitigated by deferring the auth-derived UI differences to a useEffect or using suppressHydrationWarning on affected elements. Alternatively, start with isLoading: true on the client as well, then synchronously update in a layout effect.

#!/bin/bash
# Check which components branch rendering based on isAuthenticated or isLoading from auth store
