MegaProxy d41d1e8125 feat: implement complete Phase 2 frontend foundation with React 18
Major milestone: Frontend implementation complete for Shattered Void MMO

FRONTEND IMPLEMENTATION:
- React 18 + TypeScript + Vite development environment
- Tailwind CSS with custom dark theme for sci-fi aesthetic
- Zustand state management with authentication persistence
- Socket.io WebSocket client with auto-reconnection
- Protected routing with authentication guards
- Responsive design with mobile-first approach

AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM:
- Login/register forms with comprehensive validation
- JWT token management with localStorage persistence
- Password strength validation and user feedback
- Protected routes and authentication guards

CORE GAME INTERFACE:
- Colony management dashboard with real-time updates
- Resource display with live production tracking
- WebSocket integration for real-time game events
- Navigation with connection status indicator
- Toast notifications for user feedback

BACKEND ENHANCEMENTS:
- Complete Research System with technology tree (23 technologies)
- Fleet Management System with ship designs and movement
- Enhanced Authentication with email verification and password reset
- Complete game tick integration for all systems
- Advanced WebSocket events for real-time updates

ARCHITECTURE FEATURES:
- Type-safe TypeScript throughout
- Component-based architecture with reusable UI elements
- API client with request/response interceptors
- Error handling and loading states
- Performance optimized builds with code splitting

Phase 2 Status: Frontend foundation complete (Week 1-2 objectives met)
Ready for: Colony management, fleet operations, research interface
Next: Enhanced gameplay features and admin interface

# Frontend Deployment Notes
## Node.js Version Compatibility
The current setup uses Vite 7.x and React Router 7.x which require Node.js >= 20.0.0. The current environment is running Node.js 18.19.1.
### Options to resolve:
1. **Upgrade Node.js** (Recommended)
```bash
# Update to Node.js 20 or later
nvm install 20
nvm use 20
```
2. **Downgrade dependencies** (Alternative)
```bash
npm install vite@^5.0.0 react-router-dom@^6.0.0
```
## Production Build
The build process works correctly despite version warnings:
- TypeScript compilation: ✅ No errors
- Bundle generation: ✅ Optimized chunks created
- CSS processing: ✅ Tailwind compiled successfully
## Development Server
Due to Node.js version compatibility, the dev server may not start. This is resolved by upgrading Node.js or using the production build for testing.
## Deployment Steps
1. Ensure Node.js >= 20.0.0
2. Install dependencies: `npm install`
3. Build: `npm run build`
4. Serve dist/ folder with any static file server
## Integration with Backend
The frontend is configured to connect to:
- API: `http://localhost:3000`
- WebSocket: `http://localhost:3000`
Update `.env.development` or `.env.production` as needed for different environments.
## Performance Optimizations
- Code splitting by vendor, router, and UI libraries
- Source maps for debugging
- Gzip compression ready
- Optimized dependency pre-bundling
## Security Considerations
- JWT tokens stored in localStorage (consider httpOnly cookies for production)
- CORS configured for local development
- Input validation on all forms
- Protected routes with authentication guards
