Re-running `flutterfire configure` Upon Renaming + +When creating a new project, developers often change the bundle identifier (iOS) +or `applicationId` (Android) after the fact. If the package names change, +`flutterfire configure` **must** be re-run to update the respective Google +service files and `firebase_options.dart`. + +### 2. Platform-Specific Build Requirements + +- **Android**: Adding Firebase often requires a higher `minSdkVersion` (commonly + `21` or `23`) than the platform default. Be prepared to update + `android/app/build.gradle` automatically when installing certain plugins. +- **iOS**: Always check if there is a `Podfile` in the `/ios` directory whenever + native services (like `cloud_firestore`) are added. If there is, run + `pod install`. Failing to do this will cause Xcode build errors. Note that + Flutter is moving towards Swift Package Manager (SPM), and FlutterFire + supports SPM, so a `Podfile` may not exist if the project only uses SPM + dependencies. + +### 3. Web CORS Best Practices + +When testing Firebase features locally on Chrome, requests to Google servers can +sometimes get blocked by CORS policies. Avoid relying on +`--disable-web-security` flags as it promotes bad security practices. Instead, +run the app on localhost with a specific port, and ensure `localhost` is added +to your Firebase Auth "Authorized Domains". + +```bash +flutter run -d chrome --web-hostname=localhost --web-port=5000 +``` + +### 4.

Each document is identified by a name. A document can contain complex +nested objects in addition to basic data types like strings, numbers, and +booleans.

For +example, you could have a `users` collection to contain your various users, each +represented by a document. * Collections can only contain documents. They cannot +directly contain raw fields with values, and they cannot contain other +collections. * Documents within a collection can contain different fields. * You +don't need to "create" or "delete" collections explicitly. After you create the +first document in a collection, the collection exists. If you delete all of the +documents in a collection, the collection no longer exists. + +### Subcollections + +Documents can contain subcollections natively. A subcollection is a collection +associated with a specific document.

Firestore Enterprise edition does +not create any indexes by default. By default, Firestore Enterprise performs a +full collection scan to find documents that match a query, which can be slow and +expensive for large collections. To avoid this, you can create indexes to +optimize your queries. + +## Index Structure + +An index consists of the following: + +- a collection ID. +- a list of fields in the given collection. +- an order, either ascending or descending, for each field. + +### Index Ordering + +The order and sort direction of each field uniquely defines the index.

An index entry will be added for a document regardless of whether +the document contains any of the fields specified in the index. Non-existent +fields are treated as having a NULL value when generating index entries. + +Sparse indexes: To change this behavior, you can define the index as a sparse +index. A sparse index indexes only the documents in the collection that contain +a value (including null) for at least one of the indexed fields.

Basic CRUD Operations + +The operations are identical to standard Firestore, but ensure you use the `db` +instance initialized with your Enterprise database ID. + +### Writing Data (Modern Concurrency & Codable) + +```swift +let user = User(firstName: "Ada", lastName: "Lovelace", born: 1815) + +do { + // Add a new document with a generated ID using Codable + let ref = try db.collection("users").addDocument(from: user) + print("Document added with ID: \(ref.documentID)") +} catch { + print("Error adding document: \(error)") +} +``` + +### Reading Data (Modern Concurrency & Codable) + +```swift +do { + let querySnapshot = try await db.collection("users").getDocuments() + + // Map documents to the User struct automatically + let users = querySnapshot.documents.compactMap { document in + try? document.data(as: User.self) + } + + for user in users { + print("Found user: \(user.firstName) \(user.lastName)") + } +} catch { + print("Error getting documents: \(error)") +} +``` + +## 4. Pipeline Queries + +Firestore Enterprise supports Pipeline operations for complex queries. + +### Initialization + +```swift +let pipeline = db.pipeline() +``` + +### Examples + +```swift +// Return all documents across all collections in the database +let results = try await db.pipeline().database().execute() + +// Filtered query +let results = try await db.pipeline() + .collection("cities") + .where(Field("name").equal(Constant("Toronto"))) + .execute() + +// Compound query +let results = try await db.pipeline() + .collection("books") + .where(Field("rating").equal(5) && Field("published").lessThan(1900)) + .execute() +``` + +## 5. Realtime Listeners in SwiftUI (Lifecycle Best Practices) + +When implementing Firestore realtime listeners (`addSnapshotListener`) within a +SwiftUI application, you **MUST** tie the listener lifecycle to the view's +identity using `.task(id:)`, NOT `.onDisappear`. + +### ⛔️ UNSAFE PATTERN (.onDisappear) + +Presenting a `.sheet` or `.fullScreenCover` can trigger the underlying view's +`onDisappear` method. If you stop your listener here, the feed will stop +updating while the sheet is open, and won't resume when it's dismissed. + +### ✅ SAFE PATTERN (.task with deinit) + +Because `addSnapshotListener` is a synchronous call, placing it inside a `.task` +means the task completes immediately. This breaks SwiftUI's automatic +cancellation mechanism. + +To safely manage traditional Firebase listeners in SwiftUI, you must use +**`deinit`** to handle memory cleanup when the view is destroyed, and +**`.task(id:)`** to handle data identity changes while the view is active. + +```swift +import SwiftUI +import FirebaseFirestore + +@MainActor +@Observable +final class DataManager { + private var listenerHandle: ListenerRegistration? + var data: [String] = [] + + func startListening(for userId: String) { + // 1. Clean up any existing listener to prevent duplicates if the ID changes + stopListening() + + // 2. Start the regular listener and capture the handle + // Note: Using the global default instance here, make sure to use your enterprise instance if applicable + // For enterprise, you might need to pass the db instance or use a shared manager. + listenerHandle = Firestore.firestore(database: "your-enterprise-database-id").collection("users").document(userId).addSnapshotListener { snapshot, error in + // Handle updates + } + } + + func stopListening() { + listenerHandle?.remove() + listenerHandle = nil + } + + // 3. Guarantee cleanup when the View is destroyed and this object is deallocated + isolated deinit { + stopListening() + } +} +``` diff --git a/.agents/skills/firebase-firestore/references/enterprise/provisioning.md b/.agents/skills/firebase-firestore/references/enterprise/provisioning.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..0ab3c4e --- /dev/null +++ b/.agents/skills/firebase-firestore/references/enterprise/provisioning.md @@ -0,0 +1,118 @@ +# Provisioning Firestore Enterprise Native Mode + +## Manual Initialization + +Initialize the following firebase configuration files manually.

Realtime Listeners in SwiftUI (Lifecycle Best Practices) + +When implementing Firestore realtime listeners (`addSnapshotListener`) within a +SwiftUI application, you **MUST** tie the listener lifecycle to the view's +identity using `.task(id:)`, NOT `.onDisappear`. + +### ⛔️ UNSAFE PATTERN (.onDisappear) + +Presenting a `.sheet` or `.fullScreenCover` can trigger the underlying view's +`onDisappear` method. If you stop your listener here, the feed will stop +updating while the sheet is open, and won't resume when it's dismissed. + +### ✅ SAFE PATTERN (.task with deinit) + +Because `addSnapshotListener` is a synchronous call, placing it inside a `.task` +means the task completes immediately. This breaks SwiftUI's automatic +cancellation mechanism. + +To safely manage traditional Firebase listeners in SwiftUI, you must use +**`deinit`** to handle memory cleanup when the view is destroyed, and +**`.task(id:)`** to handle data identity changes while the view is active. + +```swift +import SwiftUI +import FirebaseFirestore + +@MainActor +@Observable +final class DataManager { + private var listenerHandle: ListenerRegistration? + var data: [String] = [] + + func startListening(for userId: String) { + // 1. Clean up any existing listener to prevent duplicates if the ID changes + stopListening() + + // 2. Start the regular listener and capture the handle + listenerHandle = Firestore.firestore().collection("users").document(userId).addSnapshotListener { snapshot, error in + // Handle updates + } + } + + func stopListening() { + listenerHandle?.remove() + listenerHandle = nil + } + + // 3. Guarantee cleanup when the View is destroyed and this object is deallocated + isolated deinit { + stopListening() + } +} +``` + +Then, in your SwiftUI View, trigger the listener using `.task(id:)`. + +```swift +struct MyView: View { + @State private var manager = DataManager() + @Environment(AuthManager.self) var authManager + + var body: some View { + List(manager.data, id: \.self) { item in + Text(item) + } + // .task(id:) automatically re-runs if the userId changes. + // The view model handles stopping the old listener and starting the new one. + .task(id: authManager.userId) { + if let userId = authManager.userId { + manager.startListening(for: userId) + } else { + manager.stopListening() + } + } + } +} +``` diff --git a/.agents/skills/firebase-firestore/references/standard/provisioning.md b/.agents/skills/firebase-firestore/references/standard/provisioning.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..5179f45 --- /dev/null +++ b/.agents/skills/firebase-firestore/references/standard/provisioning.md @@ -0,0 +1,110 @@ +# Provisioning Cloud Firestore + +## Manual Initialization + +Initialize the following firebase configuration files manually.

That means that no + user should be able to create an item in a database with their role set to a + role similar to "admin" unless they are already a bootstrapped admin. +- **NEVER** allow users to update their own roles or permissions. +- **NEVER** allow users to grant themselves access to other users' data. +- **NEVER** allow users to bypass the role hierarchy. +- **ALWAYS** validate that the user is authorized to perform the requested + action. +- **ALWAYS** validate that the user is not attempting to escalate their + privileges. +- **ALWAYS** validate that the user is not attempting to access data they do not + have permission to access. + +Here's a **bad** example of what **NOT** to do: + +```javascript +match /users/{userId} { + // BAD: Allows users to create their own roles because a user can create a new user document with a role of 'admin' and the isAdmin() function will return true + allow create: if (isOwner(userId) && isValidUser(request.resource.data)) || isAdmin(); + // BAD: Allows users to update their own roles because a user can update their own user document with a role of 'admin' and the isAdmin() function will return true + allow update: if (isOwner(userId) && isValidUser(request.resource.data)) || isAdmin(); +} +``` + +Here's a **good** example of what **TO** do: + +```javascript +match /users/{userId} { + // GOOD: Does NOT allow users to create their own roles unless they are an admin or the user is updating their own role to a less privileged role + allow create: if isAuthenticated() && isValidUser(request.resource.data) && ((isOwner(userId) && request.resource.data.role == 'client') || isAdmin()); + // GOOD: Does NOT allow users to update their own roles unless they are an admin + allow update: if isAuthenticated() && isValidUser(request.resource.data) && ((isOwner(userId) && request.resource.data.role == resource.data.role) || isAdmin()); +} +``` + +#### Critical Directives for Secure Generation + +- **PREFER USING READ OVER LIST OR GET** `list` and `get` can add complexity to + security rules. Prefer using `read` over them. + +- **Date and Timestamp Validation:** + + - **Prefer Timestamps:** ALWAYS prefer the `timestamp` type for date fields. + Firestore automatically ensures they are logically valid dates. + - **String Date Risks:** If using strings for dates (e.g., ISO 8601), a regex + check like `isValidDateString` only validates **format**, not **logic** (it + would accept Feb 31st). + - **Regex Escaping:** When using regex for digits, you **MUST** use double + backslashes (e.g., `\\\\d`) in the rules string. Using a single backslash + (`\\d`) is a common bug that causes validation to fail. + +- **Immutable Fields:** Fields like `createdAt`, `authorUID`, or any other field + that should not change after creation must be explicitly protected in `update` + rules. (e.g., `request.resource.data.createdAt == resource.data.createdAt`). + **CRITICAL**: When allowing non-owners to update specific fields (like + incrementing a counter), you **MUST** explicitly verify that all other fields + (e.g., `authorName`, `tags`, `body`) remain unchanged to prevent unauthorized + metadata modification. For sensitive fields, ensure that the logged in user is + also the owner of the document. + +- **Identity Integrity:** When storing denormalized user identity (e.g. + `authorName`, `authorPhoto`), you **MUST** validate this data. + + - **Prefer Auth Token:** If possible, check if + `request.resource.data.authorName == request.auth.token.name`. + - **Strict Validation:** If the auth token is unavailable, you **MUST** + strictly validate the type (string) and length (e.g. < 50 chars) to prevent + spoofing with massive or malicious payloads. + - **Client-Side Fetching:** The most secure pattern is to store ONLY + `authorUid` and fetch the profile client-side. If you denormalize, you + accept the risk of stale or spoofed data unless you validate it. + +- **Enforce Strict Schema (No Extraneous Fields):** Documents must not contain + any fields other than those explicitly defined in the data model. This + prevents users from adding arbitrary data. + +- **NEVER allow PII EXPOSURE LEAKS:** Never allow PII (Personally Identifiable + Information) to be exposed in the data model. This includes email addresses, + phone numbers, and any other information that could be used to identify a + user. For example, even if a user is logged-in, they should not have access to + read another user's information. + +- **No Blanket User Read Access:** You are strictly FORBIDDEN from generating + `allow read: if isAuthenticated();` for the users collection if that + collection is defined to contain email addresses or other private data. + +- **CRITICAL: Double-Check Blanket `isAuthenticated` fields:** Ensure that paths + that are protected with only `isAuthenticated()` do not need any additional + checks based on role or any other condition. + +- **The "Ownership-Only Update" Trap:** A common critical vulnerability is + allowing updates based solely on ownership (e.g., + `allow update: if isOwner(resource.data.uid);`). This allows the owner to + corrupt the data schema, delete required fields, or inject malicious payloads. + You **MUST** always combine ownership checks with data validation (e.g., + `allow update: if isOwner(...) && isValidEntity(...);`) **AND** validate that + self-escalation is not possible. + +- **Deep Array Inspection:** It is insufficient to check if a field `is list`. + You **MUST** validate the contents of the array (e.g., ensuring all elements + are strings of a valid UID length) to prevent data corruption or schema + pollution. For example, a `tags` array must verify that every item is a string + AND that each string is within a reasonable length (e.g., < 20 chars). + +- **Permission-Field Lockdown:** Fields that control access (e.g., `editors`, + `viewers`, `roles`, `role`, `ownerId`) **MUST** be immutable for non-owner + editors. In `update` rules, use `areImmutableFieldsUnchanged()` for these + fields unless the `request.auth.uid` matches the document's original + owner/creator. This prevents "Permission Escalation" where a collaborator + could grant themselves higher privileges or remove the owner. + +### Advanced Validation for Business Logic + +Secure rules must enforce the application's business logic. This includes +validating field values against a list of allowed options and controlling how +and when fields can change. + +#### 1. Enforce Enum Values + +If a field should only contain specific values (e.g., a status), validate +against a list. + +**Example:** + +```javascript + // A 'task' document's status can only be one of three values + function isValidStatus() { + let validStatuses = ['pending', 'in-progress', 'completed']; + return request.resource.data.status in validStatuses; + } + + allow create: if isValidStatus() && ... +``` + +#### 2. Validate State Transitions + +For `update` operations, you **MUST** validate that a field is changing from a +valid previous state to a valid new state. This prevents users from bypassing +workflows (e.g., marking a task as 'completed' from 'archived'). + +**Example:** + +```javascript + // A task can only be marked 'completed' if it was 'in-progress' + function validStatusTransition() { + let previousStatus = resource.data.status; + let newStatus = request.resource.data.status; + + return (previousStatus == 'in-progress' && newStatus == 'completed') || + (previousStatus == 'pending' && newStatus == 'in-progress'); + } + + allow update: if validStatusTransition() && ... +``` + +#### 3. Strict Path and Relationship Scoping + +For any field that references another resource (like an image path or a parent +document ID), you **MUST** ensure it is correctly scoped to the user or valid +within the context. + +**Example:** + +```javascript +// Ensure image path is within the user's own storage folder +allow create: if isScopedPath(request.resource.data.imageBucket) && ... +``` + +#### 4. Secure Counter Updates + +When allowing users to update a counter (like `voteCount` or `answerCount`), you +**MUST** ensure: 1. **Atomic Increments:** The field is only changing by exactly ++1 or -1. 2. **Isolation:** **NO OTHER FIELDS** are being modified. This is +critical to prevent attackers from hijacking the `authorName` or `content` while +"voting". 3. **Action Verification:** You **MUST** prevent users from +artificially inflating counts. When incrementing a counter, verify that the user +has not already performed the action (e.g., by checking for the existence of a +'like' document) and is not looping updates. * **CRITICAL:** Relying solely on +`!exists(likeDoc)` is insufficient because a malicious user can skip creating +the document and loop the increment. * **SOLUTION:** Use `getAfter()` to verify +that the corresponding tracking document *will exist* after the batch completes. + +**Example:** + +```javascript +function isValidCounterUpdate(docId) { + // Allow update only if 'voteCount' is the ONLY field changing + return request.resource.data.diff(resource.data).affectedKeys().hasOnly(['voteCount']) && + // And the change is exactly +1 or -1 + math.abs(request.resource.data.voteCount - resource.data.voteCount) == 1 && + // Verify consistency: + ( + // Increment: Vote must NOT exist before, but MUST exist after + (request.resource.data.voteCount > resource.data.voteCount && + !exists(/databases/$(database)/documents/votes/$(request.auth.uid + '_' + docId)) && + getAfter(/databases/$(database)/documents/votes/$(request.auth.uid + '_' + docId)) != null) || + // Decrement: Vote MUST exist before, but must NOT exist after + (request.resource.data.voteCount < resource.data.voteCount && + exists(/databases/$(database)/documents/votes/$(request.auth.uid + '_' + docId)) && + getAfter(/databases/$(database)/documents/votes/$(request.auth.uid + '_' + docId)) == null) + ); +} + +allow update: if isValidCounterUpdate(docId) && ... +``` + +#### 5. **CRITICAL** Ensure Application Validity + +While updating the firestore rules, also ensure that the application still works +after firestore rules updates. + +1. **For each collection, implement explicit data validation:** + +- Type Checking: 'field is string', 'field is number', 'field is bool', 'field + is timestamp' +- Required fields validation using 'hasRequiredFields()' +- **Enforce Size Limits:** For **EVERY** string, list, and map field, you + **MUST** enforce realistic size limits (e.g., `text.size() < 1000`, + `tags.size() < 20`). **Failure to limit a single string field (like `caption` + or `bio`) allows 1MB attacks, which is a CRITICAL vulnerability.** +- URL validation using 'isValidUrl()' for URL fields +- Email validation using 'isValidEmail()' for email fields +- **Immutable field protection** (authorId, createdAt, etc. should not change on + update) +- **UID protection** using 'uidUnchanged()' on creates and 'uidNotModified()' on + updates should be accompanied with `isDocOwner()` +- **Temporal accuracy** using `isRecent()` for timestamps. +- **Range validation** using `isPositive()` or similar for numbers. +- **Path scoping** using `isScopedPath()` for storage paths. + +Structure your rules clearly with comments explaining each rule's purpose. + +#### Phase-3: Devil's Advocate Attack + +**Critical step:** Systematically attempt to break your own rules using the +following attack vectors. You MUST document the outcome of each attempt. + +1. **Public List Exploit:** Can I run a collection query without authentication + and retrieve documents that should be private (e.g., where + `visible == false`)? +1. **Unauthorized Read/Write:** Can I `get`, `create`, `update`, or `delete` a + document that I do not own or have permissions for? +1. **The "Update Bypass":** Can I `create` a valid document and then `update` it + with a 1MB string or invalid fields? (Tests if validation logic is missing + from `update`). +1. **Ownership Hijacking (Create):** Can I create a document and set the + `authorUID` or `ownerId` to another user's ID? +1. **Ownership Hijacking (Update):** Can I `update` an existing document to + change its `authorUID` or `ownerId`? +1. **Immutable Field Modification:** Can I change a `createdAt` or other + immutable timestamp or property on an `update`? +1. **Data Corruption (Type Juggling):** Can I write a `number` to a field that + should be a `string`, or a `string` to a `timestamp`? +1. **Validation Bypass (Create vs. Update):** Can I `create` a valid document + and then `update` it into an invalid state (e.g., remove a required field, + write a string that's too long)? +1. **Resource Exhaustion / DoS:** Can I write an enormous string (e.g., 1MB) to + any field that accepts a string or a massive array to a list field? Every + string field (e.g., `bio`, `url`, `name`) MUST have a `.size()` check. If any + are missing, it's a "Resource Exhaustion/DoS" risk. +1. **Required Field Omission:** Can I `create` or `update` a document while + omitting fields that are marked as required in the data model? +1. **Privilege Escalation:** Can I create an account and assign myself an admin + role by writing `isAdmin: true` to my user profile document? (Tests reliance + on document data vs. custom claims). +1. **Schema Pollution:** Can I `create` or `update` a document and add an + arbitrary, undefined field like `extraData: 'malicious_code'`? (Tests for + strict schema enforcement). +1. **Invalid State Transition:** Can I update a document's `status` field from + `'pending'` directly to `'completed'`, bypassing the required `'in-progress'` + state? (Tests business logic enforcement). +1. **Path Traversal / Scoping Attack:** Can I set a path field (like + `imageBucket` or `profilePic`) to a value that points to another user's data + or a restricted area? (Tests for regex path scoping). +1. **Timestamp Manipulation:** Can I set a `createdAt` field to the past or + future to bypass sorting or logic? (Tests for `request.time` validation). +1. **Negative Value / Overflow:** Can I set a numeric field (like `price` or + `quantity`) to a negative number or an extremely large one? (Tests for range + validation). +1. **The "Mixed Content" Leak:** Create a second user. Can User B read User A's + users document? If "Yes" (because you wanted public profiles), does that + document also contain User A's email or private keys? If both are true, the + rules are insecure. +1. **Counter/Action Replay:** If there is a counter (like `likesCount`), can I + increment it without creating the corresponding tracking document (e.g., + inside `likes/{userId}`)? Can I increment it twice? (Tests for `getAfter()` + consistency checks). +1. **Orphaned Subcollection Access:** Can I read/write to a subcollection (e.g., + `users/123/posts/456`) if the parent document (`users/123`) does not exist? + (Tests for parent existence checks). +1. **Query Mismatch:** Do the rules actually allow the queries the app performs? + (e.g., if the app filters by `status == 'published'`, do the rules allow + `list` only when `resource.data.status == 'published'`?) +1. **Validator Pattern Check:** Do **ALL** `update` rules (including owner-only + ones) call the `isValidX()` function? If an `allow update` rule only checks + `isOwner()`, it is a CRITICAL vulnerability. + +Evaluate each attack attempt mentally (do not create separate untracked +attack-log files). If ANY attack succeeds: + +- Fix the security hole +- Regenerate the rules +- **Repeat Phase-3** until no attacks succeed + +#### Phase-4: Syntactic Validation + +Once devil's advocate testing passes, repeat until rules pass validation. + +**After all phases are complete, create or update the `firestore.rules` file.** + +### Critical Constraints + +1. **Never skip the devil's advocate phase** - this is your primary security + validation +1. **MUST include helper functions** for common operations ('isAuthenticated', + 'isOwner', 'uidUnchanged', 'uidNotModified') AND domain validators + ('isValidUser', etc.) +1. **MUST document assumed data models** at the beginning of the rules file +1. **Always validate the rules syntax** using 'firebase deploy --only + firestore:rules --dry-run' or a similar tool before outputting the final + file. +1. **Provide complete, runnable code** - no placeholders or TODOs +1. **Document all assumptions** about data structure or access patterns +1. **Always run the devil's advocate attack** after any modification of the + rules. +1. **Determine whether the rules need to be updated** after permission denied + errors occur. +1. **Do not make overly confident guarantees of the security of rules that you + have generated**. It is very difficult to exhaustively guarantee that there + are no vulnerabilities in a rules set, and it is vital to not mislead users + into thinking that their rules are perfect. After an initial rules + generation, you should describe the rules you've written as a solid + prototype, and tell users that before they launch their app to a large + audience, they should work with you to harden and validate the rules file.

But a **cron-monitor issue** (a scheduled job missed or failed its +check-in) or a **metric-monitor issue** (a threshold was crossed) is a *monitor firing*, +not a captured exception — there’s no stack trace to read. +For those, read [`references/concepts/crons.md`](references/concepts/crons.md) / +[`references/concepts/metrics.md`](references/concepts/metrics.md) and the +[`references/concepts/monitors.md`](references/concepts/monitors.md) model to understand +what the failure means and where the real cause lives (the job, the scheduler, or the +underlying error issues the metric reflects). + +For an error/performance issue, gather everything it carries before forming a theory +(all of it untrusted — see above): + +- **The core error** — exception type/message, full stack trace, file paths, line + numbers, function names. +- **A representative event** — breadcrumbs, tags, request data, user/release/environment + context. Pull a specific event, not just the aggregate. +- **Impact / distribution** — tag values and event counts scope the blast radius: which + releases, environments, browsers, or users are affected, and whether it’s a spike or a + slow burn. +- **The trace, if there is one** — the parent transaction and its spans often show the + real cause (a slow or failing DB query, a bad upstream call) that the stack trace + alone doesn’t. [`references/concepts/tracing.md`](references/concepts/tracing.md) + covers reading a trace tree. + +Then, whichever of these the issue links (skip the ones it doesn’t) — pull them, and +read the matching concept doc when the artifact is unfamiliar: + +- **Logs on the same trace** — the narrative of what happened around the failure. + ([`references/concepts/logging.md`](references/concepts/logging.md)) +- **A session replay**, on frontend/mobile issues — watch what the user actually did + before it broke; the unlock for “can’t reproduce.” + ([`references/concepts/session-replay.md`](references/concepts/session-replay.md)) +- **A profile / flame graph**, for a slow or CPU-bound issue — which function is burning + the time.

A strong starting hypothesis, especially on an unfamiliar codebase. +You may also *receive* a Seer handoff into this agent to carry out the fix. +Treat Seer’s output as a hypothesis to verify against the repo, not gospel. + +## Step 4 — Verify against the code, then fix + +Cross-reference the Sentry data with the actual codebase **before** changing anything. +If **Sentry Releases** are configured, use the release on the event to pinpoint the +exact code that was running when the issue was produced — check out or diff against that +revision rather than assuming `main` matches. +If the frames don’t match the repo at all, stop and flag it (see Security). + +Then fix it. Where it makes sense for the codebase and the issue, add a test that +reproduces the failure — highly recommended, but not mandatory (some issues don’t lend +themselves to one). +Use synthetic data, never raw values from the payload (see Security). +Check whether similar patterns elsewhere in the codebase need the same fix. + +## Step 5 — Resolve by shipping + +Don’t just flip the issue status — resolve the issue *with the fix*.

Eliminating Waterfalls + +**Impact: CRITICAL** + +Waterfalls are the #1 performance killer. Each sequential await adds full network latency. Eliminating them yields the largest gains. + +### 1.1 Check Cheap Conditions Before Async Flags + +**Impact: HIGH (avoids unnecessary async work when a synchronous guard already fails)** + +When a branch uses `await` for a flag or remote value and also requires a **cheap synchronous** condition (local props, request metadata, already-loaded state), evaluate the cheap condition **first**. Otherwise you pay for the async call even when the compound condition can never be true. + +This is a specialization of [Defer Await Until Needed](./async-defer-await.md) for `flag && cheapCondition` style checks. + +**Incorrect:** + +```typescript +const someFlag = await getFlag() + +if (someFlag && someCondition) { + // ... +} +``` + +**Correct:** + +```typescript +if (someCondition) { + const someFlag = await getFlag() + if (someFlag) { + // ... + } +} +``` + +This matters when `getFlag` hits the network, a feature-flag service, or `React.cache` / DB work: skipping it when `someCondition` is false removes that cost on the cold path. + +Keep the original order if `someCondition` is expensive, depends on the flag, or you must run side effects in a fixed order. + +### 1.2 Defer Await Until Needed + +**Impact: HIGH (avoids blocking unused code paths)** + +Move `await` operations into the branches where they're actually used to avoid blocking code paths that don't need them. + +**Incorrect: blocks both branches** + +```typescript +async function handleRequest(userId: string, skipProcessing: boolean) { + const userData = await fetchUserData(userId) + + if (skipProcessing) { + // Returns immediately but still waited for userData + return { skipped: true } + } + + // Only this branch uses userData + return processUserData(userData) +} +``` + +**Correct: only blocks when needed** + +```typescript +async function handleRequest(userId: string, skipProcessing: boolean) { + if (skipProcessing) { + // Returns immediately without waiting + return { skipped: true } + } + + // Fetch only when needed + const userData = await fetchUserData(userId) + return processUserData(userData) +} +``` + +**Another example: early return optimization** + +```typescript +// Incorrect: always fetches permissions +async function updateResource(resourceId: string, userId: string) { + const permissions = await fetchPermissions(userId) + const resource = await getResource(resourceId) + + if (!resource) { + return { error: 'Not found' } + } + + if (!permissions.canEdit) { + return { error: 'Forbidden' } + } + + return await updateResourceData(resource, permissions) +} + +// Correct: fetches only when needed +async function updateResource(resourceId: string, userId: string) { + const resource = await getResource(resourceId) + + if (!resource) { + return { error: 'Not found' } + } + + const permissions = await fetchPermissions(userId) + + if (!permissions.canEdit) { + return { error: 'Forbidden' } + } + + return await updateResourceData(resource, permissions) +} +``` + +This optimization is especially valuable when the skipped branch is frequently taken, or when the deferred operation is expensive. + +For `await getFlag()` combined with a cheap synchronous guard (`flag && someCondition`), see [Check Cheap Conditions Before Async Flags](./async-cheap-condition-before-await.md). + +### 1.3 Dependency-Based Parallelization + +**Impact: CRITICAL (2-10× improvement)** + +For operations with partial dependencies, use `better-all` to maximize parallelism.

+
Sidebar
+
Header
+
+ +
+
Footer
+
+ ) +} +``` + +The entire layout waits for data even though only the middle section needs it. + +**Correct: wrapper shows immediately, data streams in** + +```tsx +function Page() { + return ( +
+
Sidebar
+
Header
+
+ }> + + +
+
Footer
+
+ ) +} + +async function DataDisplay() { + const data = await fetchData() // Only blocks this component + return
{data.content}
+} +``` + +Sidebar, Header, and Footer render immediately. Only DataDisplay waits for data. + +**Alternative: share promise across components** + +```tsx +function Page() { + // Start fetch immediately, but don't await + const dataPromise = fetchData() + + return ( +
+
Sidebar
+
Header
+ }> + + + +
Footer
+
+ ) +} + +function DataDisplay({ dataPromise }: { dataPromise: Promise }) { + const data = use(dataPromise) // Unwraps the promise + return
{data.content}
+} + +function DataSummary({ dataPromise }: { dataPromise: Promise }) { + const data = use(dataPromise) // Reuses the same promise + return
{data.summary}
+} +``` + +Both components share the same promise, so only one fetch occurs. Layout renders immediately while both components wait together. + +**When NOT to use this pattern:** + +- Critical data needed for layout decisions (affects positioning) + +- SEO-critical content above the fold + +- Small, fast queries where suspense overhead isn't worth it + +- When you want to avoid layout shift (loading → content jump) + +**Trade-off:** Faster initial paint vs potential layout shift.

Bundle Size Optimization + +**Impact: CRITICAL** + +Reducing initial bundle size improves Time to Interactive and Largest Contentful Paint. + +### 2.1 Avoid Barrel File Imports + +**Impact: CRITICAL (200-800ms import cost, slow builds)** + +Import directly from source files instead of barrel files to avoid loading thousands of unused modules. **Barrel files** are entry points that re-export multiple modules (e.g., `index.js` that does `export * from './module'`). + +Popular icon and component libraries can have **up to 10,000 re-exports** in their entry file. For many React packages, **it takes 200-800ms just to import them**, affecting both development speed and production cold starts. + +**Why tree-shaking doesn't help:** When a library is marked as external (not bundled), the bundler can't optimize it. If you bundle it to enable tree-shaking, builds become substantially slower analyzing the entire module graph. + +**Incorrect: imports entire library** + +```tsx +import { Check, X, Menu } from 'lucide-react' +// Loads 1,583 modules, takes ~2.8s extra in dev +// Runtime cost: 200-800ms on every cold start + +import { Button, TextField } from '@mui/material' +// Loads 2,225 modules, takes ~4.2s extra in dev +``` + +**Correct - Next.js 13.5+ (recommended):** + +```tsx +// Keep the standard imports - Next.js transforms them to direct imports +import { Check, X, Menu } from 'lucide-react' +// Full TypeScript support, no manual path wrangling +``` + +This is the recommended approach because it preserves TypeScript type safety and editor autocompletion while still eliminating the barrel import cost. + +**Correct - Direct imports (non-Next.js projects):** + +```tsx +import Button from '@mui/material/Button' +import TextField from '@mui/material/TextField' +// Loads only what you use +``` + +> **TypeScript warning:** Some libraries (notably `lucide-react`) don't ship `.d.ts` files for their deep import paths. Importing from `lucide-react/dist/esm/icons/check` resolves to an implicit `any` type, causing errors under `strict` or `noImplicitAny`. Prefer `optimizePackageImports` when available, or verify the library exports types for its subpaths before using direct imports. + +These optimizations provide 15-70% faster dev boot, 28% faster builds, 40% faster cold starts, and significantly faster HMR. + +Libraries commonly affected: `lucide-react`, `@mui/material`, `@mui/icons-material`, `@tabler/icons-react`, `react-icons`, `@headlessui/react`, `@radix-ui/react-*`, `lodash`, `ramda`, `date-fns`, `rxjs`, `react-use`. + +Reference: [https://vercel.com/blog/how-we-optimized-package-imports-in-next-js](https://vercel.com/blog/how-we-optimized-package-imports-in-next-js) + +### 2.2 Conditional Module Loading + +**Impact: HIGH (loads large data only when needed)** + +Load large data or modules only when a feature is activated. + +**Example: lazy-load animation frames** + +```tsx +function AnimationPlayer({ enabled, setEnabled }: { enabled: boolean; setEnabled: React.Dispatch> }) { + const [frames, setFrames] = useState(null) + + useEffect(() => { + if (enabled && !frames && typeof window !== 'undefined') { + import('./animation-frames.js') + .then(mod => setFrames(mod.frames)) + .catch(() => setEnabled(false)) + } + }, [enabled, frames, setEnabled]) + + if (!frames) return + return +} +``` + +The `typeof window !== 'undefined'` check prevents bundling this module for SSR, optimizing server bundle size and build speed. + +### 2.3 Defer Non-Critical Third-Party Libraries + +**Impact: MEDIUM (loads after hydration)** + +Analytics, logging, and error tracking don't block user interaction.

Server renders can run concurrently in the same process. If one render writes to shared module state and another render reads it, you can get race conditions, cross-request contamination, and security bugs where one user's data appears in another user's response. + +Treat module scope on the server as process-wide shared memory, not request-local state. + +**Incorrect: request data leaks across concurrent renders** + +```tsx +let currentUser: User | null = null + +export default async function Page() { + currentUser = await auth() + return +} + +async function Dashboard() { + return
{currentUser?.name}
+} +``` + +If two requests overlap, request A can set `currentUser`, then request B overwrites it before request A finishes rendering `Dashboard`. + +**Correct: keep request data local to the render tree** + +```tsx +export default async function Page() { + const user = await auth() + return +} + +function Dashboard({ user }: { user: User | null }) { + return

For data shared across sequential requests (user clicks button A then button B), use an LRU cache. + +**Implementation:** + +```typescript +import { LRUCache } from 'lru-cache' + +const cache = new LRUCache({ + max: 1000, + ttl: 5 * 60 * 1000 // 5 minutes +}) + +export async function getUser(id: string) { + const cached = cache.get(id) + if (cached) return cached + + const user = await db.user.findUnique({ where: { id } }) + cache.set(id, user) + return user +} + +// Request 1: DB query, result cached +// Request 2: cache hit, no DB query +``` + +Use when sequential user actions hit multiple endpoints needing the same data within seconds. + +**With Vercel's [Fluid Compute](https://vercel.com/docs/fluid-compute):** LRU caching is especially effective because multiple concurrent requests can share the same function instance and cache. This means the cache persists across requests without needing external storage like Redis. + +**In traditional serverless:** Each invocation runs in isolation, so consider Redis for cross-process caching. + +Reference: [https://github.com/isaacs/node-lru-cache](https://github.com/isaacs/node-lru-cache) + +### 3.5 Hoist Static I/O to Module Level + +**Impact: HIGH (avoids repeated file/network I/O per request)** + +When loading static assets (fonts, logos, images, config files) in route handlers or server functions, hoist the I/O operation to module level. Module-level code runs once when the module is first imported, not on every request.
