# Sync Progress Tracking Implementation

## Overview

Implemented real-time progress tracking for entity sync operations with persistent state that allows users to navigate away and return to see accurate progress.

## Problem Solved

1. **100-Page Limit Removed** - Previously, syncs were capped at 50,000 records (100 pages × 500 records/page)
2. **No Progress Visibility** - Users couldn't see sync progress or know when operations would complete
3. **Lost Progress on Navigation** - Navigating away from the sync page lost all progress information

## Solution Architecture

### Backend Components

#### 1. **SyncProgressTracker** (`lib/services/sync-progress-tracker.ts`)
Global singleton service that tracks sync progress in memory.

**Features:**
- Tracks multiple concurrent syncs
- Stores progress state with phases (fetching, mapping, upserting, deleting)
- Persists across API calls (in-memory during app lifetime)
- Auto-cleanup of old sync records (keeps last 10 per entity)

**Key Methods:**
```typescript
startSync(syncId, entityType)           // Initialize tracking
updateProgress(syncId, updates)         // Update progress
completeSync(syncId, totalRecords)      // Mark complete
failSync(syncId, error)                 // Mark failed
getProgress(syncId)                     // Get specific sync
getLatestSync(entityType)               // Get latest for entity
```

#### 2. **Entity Sync Service Updates** (`lib/services/entity-sync.ts`)
Integrated progress tracking at key phases:

```typescript
async syncEntity(entity, isIncremental, yearsBack, syncId?) {
  const trackingId = syncId || `${entity}_${Date.now()}`;
  
  syncProgressTracker.startSync(trackingId, entity);
  
  // Phase 1: Fetching
  syncProgressTracker.updateProgress(trackingId, { phase: 'fetching' });
  
  // Phase 2: Mapping
  syncProgressTracker.updateProgress(trackingId, { 
    totalRecords: count,
    phase: 'mapping' 
  });
  
  // Phase 3: Upserting
  syncProgressTracker.updateProgress(trackingId, { phase: 'upserting' });
  
  // Phase 4: Deleting (full sync only)
  syncProgressTracker.updateProgress(trackingId, { phase: 'deleting' });
  
  // Complete
  syncProgressTracker.completeSync(trackingId, totalRecords);
}
```

#### 3. **Progress API Endpoint** (`app/api/sync/progress/route.ts`)
RESTful endpoint for polling progress:

```bash
# Get specific sync
GET /api/sync/progress?syncId=time_entries_1730000000

# Get latest sync for entity
GET /api/sync/progress?entityType=time_entries

# Get all active syncs
GET /api/sync/progress
```

**Response:**
```json
{
  "progress": {
    "syncId": "time_entries_1730000000",
    "entityType": "time_entries",
    "status": "running",
    "currentPage": 0,
    "totalRecords": 75000,
    "startTime": 1730000000000,
    "phase": "upserting"
  }
}
```

### Frontend Components

#### 1. **EntitySyncProgress Component** (`components/admin/EntitySyncProgress.tsx`)
Reusable progress display following shadcn/ui best practices.

**Features:**
- ✅ Animated progress bar (smooth transitions)
- ✅ Phase indicators with icons
- ✅ Real-time polling (every 2 seconds)
- ✅ Persistent across navigation (polls by syncId or entityType)
- ✅ Dark mode support
- ✅ Accessibility (ARIA labels)
- ✅ Auto-cleanup on completion/failure

**Usage:**
```tsx
<EntitySyncProgress
  entityType="time_entries"
  syncId="time_entries_1730000000"
  onComplete={() => console.log('Sync done!')}
  onError={(error) => console.error(error)}
/>
```

**Visual States:**
- **Running** - Blue badge, spinning loader, animated progress
- **Completed** - Green badge, checkmark, success message
- **Failed** - Red badge, X icon, error message

**Progress Calculation:**
```typescript
fetching  → 25%
mapping   → 50%
upserting → 75%
deleting  → 90%
completed → 100%
```

#### 2. **SyncControlPanel Integration** (`components/admin/SyncControlPanel.tsx`)
Integrated progress tracking for entity-specific syncs.

**Auto-tracking:**
- Detects single-entity syncs
- Generates unique syncId
- Shows progress component
- Auto-hides on completion

**Multi-entity syncs:**
- Still supported
- No individual progress (would need separate implementation)

## shadcn/ui Best Practices Applied

### 1. **Component Composition**
```tsx
<Card>
  <CardHeader>
    <CardTitle>Entity Sync</CardTitle>
    <CardDescription>Phase description</CardDescription>
  </CardHeader>
  <CardContent>
    <Progress value={animatedProgress} />
  </CardContent>
</Card>
```

### 2. **Smooth Animations**
```typescript
// Gradual progress updates
const step = (targetProgress - animatedProgress) / 10;
const interval = setInterval(() => {
  setAnimatedProgress(prev => prev + step);
}, 50);
```

### 3. **Dark Mode Support**
```tsx
className="dark:bg-gray-700 dark:border-gray-700"
```

### 4. **Accessibility**
```tsx
<Progress 
  value={progress} 
  aria-label={`Sync progress: ${Math.round(progress)}%`}
/>
```

### 5. **Loading States**
```tsx
{status === 'running' && (
  <Loader2 className="h-5 w-5 animate-spin text-blue-500" />
)}
```

### 6. **Responsive Design**
```tsx
<div className="grid grid-cols-2 gap-4">
  {/* Stats */}
</div>
```

## Usage Examples

### 1. Sync Time Entries with Progress
```typescript
// From UI
1. Navigate to /admin/sync
2. Select "Time Entries" entity
3. Click "Sync Selected Entities"
4. Watch real-time progress
5. Navigate away (progress persists)
6. Return to see updated progress
```

### 2. Programmatic Sync with Tracking
```typescript
import { syncProgressTracker } from '@/lib/services/sync-progress-tracker';

const syncId = `time_entries_${Date.now()}`;

// Start sync with tracking
await entitySyncService.syncEntity(
  EntityType.TIME_ENTRIES,
  false,
  1,
  syncId
);

// Poll progress
const progress = syncProgressTracker.getProgress(syncId);
console.log(progress.phase, progress.totalRecords);
```

### 3. Monitor from API
```bash
# Start sync
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/sync/entity \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"entities": ["time_entries"], "yearsBack": 1}'

# Poll progress
while true; do
  curl http://localhost:3000/api/sync/progress?entityType=time_entries
  sleep 2
done
```

## Key Improvements

### Before
- ❌ 50,000 record limit
- ❌ No progress visibility
- ❌ Lost progress on navigation
- ❌ No phase information
- ❌ No error details

### After
- ✅ Unlimited records (removed page limit)
- ✅ Real-time progress tracking
- ✅ Persistent across navigation
- ✅ Detailed phase indicators
- ✅ Comprehensive error reporting
- ✅ Animated progress bar
- ✅ Dark mode support
- ✅ Accessibility compliant

## Performance Considerations

### Polling Frequency
- **2 seconds** - Good balance between responsiveness and server load
- Stops polling when sync completes/fails
- Cleanup interval prevents memory leaks

### Memory Management
- Keeps last 10 syncs per entity type
- Auto-cleanup on completion
- In-memory storage (resets on app restart)

### Future Enhancements
- **WebSocket support** - Real-time push instead of polling
- **Persistent storage** - Redis/database for cross-instance tracking
- **Page-level progress** - Track individual API pages during fetch
- **Estimated time remaining** - Calculate based on current rate

## Testing

### Manual Test
```bash
# 1. Start a time entries sync (1 year)
# 2. Observe progress phases:
#    - Fetching (0-25%)
#    - Mapping (25-50%)
#    - Upserting (50-75%)
#    - Deleting (75-90%)
#    - Completed (100%)
# 3. Navigate to another page
# 4. Return to sync page
# 5. Verify progress is still visible and accurate
```

### API Test
```bash
# Terminal 1: Start sync
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/sync/entity \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"entities": ["time_entries"], "yearsBack": 1}'

# Terminal 2: Monitor progress
watch -n 2 'curl -s http://localhost:3000/api/sync/progress?entityType=time_entries | jq'
```
