# Refactor Summary: Restructure Utils and Organize Project Files

**Branch**: `codex/restructure-utils-and-organize-project-files`
**Date**: November 2025
**Status**: ✅ Complete - Ready for Review

---

## 📋 Executive Summary

This refactor reorganizes the mobile app codebase into a clean, layered architecture with clear separation of concerns. The primary goal was to improve code organization, discoverability, and maintainability by grouping related functionality into logical directories.

### Key Changes
- **5 new top-level directories** created: `config/`, `integrations/`, `proving/`, `services/`, refined `utils/`
- **~50+ new files** created for better organization
- **~20+ files** moved/reorganized
- **~25+ files** modified with updated import paths
- **No intentional behavior changes** - refactor is limited to file organization and import paths

## 🔄 Import Path Updates

### Before & After Examples

```typescript
// ❌ BEFORE: Address helpers and integrations wired through providers/SDK directly
import { getOrGeneratePointsAddress } from '@/providers/authProvider'; // derives + stores points address behind biometrics
import { buttonTap } from '@selfxyz/mobile-sdk-alpha';
import analytics from '@/somewhere/analytics';

// ✅ AFTER: Clean, organized imports through services/integrations layers
// Note: getPointsAddress is a thin wrapper around authProvider.getOrGeneratePointsAddress
import { getPointsAddress } from '@/services/points';
import { buttonTap } from '@/integrations/haptics';
import analytics from '@/services/analytics';
```

## 🎯 Architectural Benefits

### 1. **Clear Separation of Concerns**

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
│  Screens & Components (UI)          │ - Presentation logic only
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│  Hooks (State Management)           │ - Stateful logic
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│  Services (Business Logic)          │ - Core business rules ← NEW
│  - Testable                          │
│  - Reusable                          │
│  - Independent                       │
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│  Providers (Context & Global State) │ - App-wide state
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│  Integrations (3rd Party/Native)    │ - External dependencies ← NEW
│  - NFC, Haptics, Keychain           │
│  - Isolated from business logic     │
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│  Config (Configuration)             │ - Settings & setup ← NEW
│  - Sentry, Segment, RemoteConfig    │
├─────────────────────────────────────┤
│  Proving (ZK Logic)                 │ - Cryptographic proving ← NEW
│  Utils (Pure Functions)             │ - Pure utilities
└─────────────────────────────────────┘
```

### 2. **Improved Testability**

```typescript
// Business logic isolated in services
// Easy to unit test without React dependencies
import { recordBackupPointEvent } from '@/services/points';

// Pure function testing
import { formatUserId } from '@/utils';

// Integration testing
import { scan } from '@/integrations/nfc';
```

### 3. **Better Tree-Shaking**

Core new directories like `config/`, `integrations/`, `proving/`, `services`, and `utils/` use **feature-level barrel exports** (`index.ts` inside each feature folder) that:
- Enable clean imports: `@/services/points` instead of `@/services/points/utils`
- Allow bundlers to eliminate unused code
- Provide a single source of truth for exports within each feature

> **Bundle-size strategy:** We intentionally avoid a single, root-level barrel like `@/services` or `@/integrations` to reduce the risk of accidentally pulling in large parts of a layer.
> Prefer importing from **feature barrels** (e.g. `@/services/points`, `@/integrations/haptics`) so bundlers can tree-shake unused services and integrations.

### 4. **Enhanced Discoverability**

Developers can now quickly find:
- **Configuration?** → `config/`
- **Business logic?** → `services/`
- **Native code?** → `integrations/`
- **ZK proving?** → `proving/`
- **Utilities?** → `utils/`

### 5. **Platform-Specific Code**

Consistent naming convention:
- `.ts` = Native (iOS/Android)
- `.web.ts` = Web platform
- `.shared.ts` = Shared logic

Example: `notificationService.ts`, `notificationService.web.ts`, `notificationService.shared.ts`

## 🚀 Migration Guide for Developers

### If You're Adding New Code

**1. Business Logic** → `services/`
```typescript
// Create a new service
app/src/services/my-feature/
  ├── index.ts        - Barrel export
  ├── api.ts          - API calls
  ├── types.ts        - TypeScript types
  └── utils.ts        - Helper functions
```

**2. Native/3rd Party Integration** → `integrations/`
```typescript
// Add new integration
app/src/integrations/my-integration.ts
// or
app/src/integrations/my-integration/
  ├── index.ts
  ├── native.ts
  └── web.ts
```

**3. Pure Utilities** → `utils/`
```typescript
// Add pure function
app/src/utils/my-utility.ts
// Export from barrel
app/src/utils/index.ts
```

**4. Configuration** → `config/`
```typescript
// Add config
app/src/config/my-config.ts
app/src/config/my-config.web.ts
// Export from barrel
app/src/config/index.ts
```

### If You're Working on Existing Code

**Update imports to use new paths and semantics:**

```typescript
// ❌ Old way (address generation lived in auth provider)
import { getOrGeneratePointsAddress } from '@/providers/authProvider';

// ✅ New way (dedicated points service API)
// getPointsAddress currently delegates to getOrGeneratePointsAddress under the hood,
// so behavior is preserved while keeping auth concerns in providers and points logic in services.
import { getPointsAddress } from '@/services/points';
```

> **Backward compatibility:** We intentionally did **not** add re-exports in `authProvider` for `@/services/points`.
> Call sites must be migrated to the new paths; this refactor is internal to the mobile app and does **not** affect external SDK consumers (e.g. `@selfxyz/mobile-sdk-alpha`).

**Use barrel exports:**

```typescript
// ❌ Avoid direct file imports
import { api } from '@/services/points/api';

// ✅ Use barrel exports
import { makeApiRequest } from '@/services/points';
```

```

### Complexity Reduction
- **Before**: Scattered logic across screens/hooks/providers
- **After**: Centralized in services with clear boundaries

### Maintenance Improvement
- **Before**: "Where is the points logic?" → Multiple locations
- **After**: "Where is the points logic?" → `services/points/`

## 🔍 Known Issues (Pre-Existing)

The following issues were identified during review but **existed before this refactor**:

1. **Console.log statements** in `ProveScreen.tsx` around the proving flow - debug code
2. **Race condition** in `ProveScreen.tsx` useEffect points enhancement
3. **Inefficient whitelist fetching** in `getDisclosurePointEvents` - No caching
4. **Silent failures** in cloud backup when user cancels auth
5. **No immediate feedback** on biometrics unavailable in CloudBackupScreen
6. **Orphaned OAuth handling** in deeplinks (Turnkey disabled but code remains)

These are tracked separately and not blocking this refactor.

---

## 🎓 Key Takeaways

1. **Layered architecture** improves code organization and maintainability
2. **Barrel exports** enable clean imports and better tree-shaking
3. **Separation of concerns** makes testing and debugging easier
4. **Consistent naming** (`.ts`, `.web.ts`, `.shared.ts`) clarifies platform support
5. **Services layer** isolates business logic from UI and integrations

## 📝 Notes

This refactor is **purely structural** with no functional changes. All business logic remains identical, only the file organization has changed. This makes it safe to merge and reduces the risk of introducing bugs.

The refactor follows React Native and TypeScript best practices for project organization, making the codebase more maintainable and easier to navigate for both current and future developers.
