## 2. React 19 Compiler Optimizations

### Manual Memoization Removed

React 19's new compiler automatically optimizes components, making manual memoization unnecessary and potentially counterproductive.

#### 2.1 `useMemo` Hook Removals

**Example - Job Watchers:**
```javascript
// BEFORE
const jobWatchers = useMemo(() => (watcherData?.job_watchers ? [...watcherData.job_watchers] : []), [watcherData]);

// AFTER
// Do NOT clone arrays; keep referential stability for React Compiler and to reduce rerenders.
const jobWatchers = watcherData?.job_watchers ?? EMPTY_ARRAY;
```

**Benefits:**
- Eliminates unnecessary array cloning
- Maintains referential stability for React Compiler
- Reduces re-renders
- Cleaner, more readable code

**Files Affected:**
- Multiple kanban components
- Production board components
- Job management components

#### 2.2 `useCallback` Hook Removals

**Example - Card Lookup Function:**
```javascript
// BEFORE
const getCardByID = useCallback((data, cardId) => {
  for (const lane of data.lanes) {
    for (const card of lane.cards) {
      // ... logic
    }
  }
}, [/* dependencies */]);

// AFTER
const getCardByID = (data, cardId) => {
  for (const lane of data.lanes) {
    for (const card of lane.cards) {
      // ... logic
    }
  }
};
```

**Benefits:**
- React 19 compiler automatically optimizes function references
- Reduced complexity in component code
- No need to manage dependency arrays

**Files Affected:**
- production-board-kanban.component.jsx
- production-board-kanban.container.jsx
- Multiple board controller components

#### 2.3 `React.memo()` Wrapper Removals

**Example - EllipsesToolTip Component:**
```javascript
// BEFORE
const EllipsesToolTip = memo(({ title, children, kiosk }) => {
  if (kiosk || !title) {
    return <div className="ellipses no-select">{children}</div>;
  }
  return (
    <Tooltip title={title}>
      <div className="ellipses no-select">{children}</div>
    </Tooltip>
  );
});
EllipsesToolTip.displayName = "EllipsesToolTip";

// AFTER
function EllipsesToolTip({ title, children, kiosk }) {
  if (kiosk || !title) {
    return <div className="ellipses no-select">{children}</div>;
  }
  return (
    <Tooltip title={title}>
      <div className="ellipses no-select">{children}</div>
    </Tooltip>
  );
}
```

**Benefits:**
- Compiler handles optimization automatically
- No need for manual displayName assignment
- Standard function syntax is cleaner

**Files Affected:**
- production-board-kanban-card.component.jsx
- EllipsesToolTip components
- Various utility components

---

## 3. State Management Optimizations

### Deep Cloning Elimination

React 19's compiler efficiently handles change detection, eliminating the need for manual deep cloning.

**Example - Board Lanes State Update:**
```javascript
// BEFORE
setBoardLanes((prevBoardLanes) => {
  const deepClonedData = cloneDeep(newBoardData);
  if (!isEqual(prevBoardLanes, deepClonedData)) {
    return deepClonedData;
  }
  return prevBoardLanes;
});

// AFTER
setBoardLanes(newBoardData);
```

**Benefits:**
- Removed lodash dependencies (`cloneDeep`, `isEqual`) from components
- Reduced memory overhead
- Faster state updates
- React 19's compiler handles change detection efficiently

---

## 4. Import Cleanup

### React Import Simplifications

**Example - Removed Unnecessary Hook Imports:**
```javascript
// BEFORE
import { useMemo, useState, useEffect, useCallback } from "react";

// AFTER
import { useState, useEffect } from "react";
```

Multiple files had their React imports streamlined by removing `useMemo`, `useCallback`, and `memo` imports that are no longer needed.

---

## 5. Apollo Client 4.x Migration

### Import Path Changes

Apollo Client 4.x requires React-specific imports to come from `@apollo/client/react` instead of the main package.

**Example - Hook Imports:**
```javascript
// BEFORE (Apollo Client 3.x)
import { useQuery, useMutation, useLazyQuery } from "@apollo/client";
import { ApolloProvider } from "@apollo/client";
import { useApolloClient } from "@apollo/client";

// AFTER (Apollo Client 4.x)
import { useQuery, useMutation, useLazyQuery } from "@apollo/client/react";
import { ApolloProvider } from "@apollo/client/react";
import { useApolloClient } from "@apollo/client/react";
```

**Benefits:**
- Better tree-shaking for non-React Apollo Client usage
- Clearer separation between core and React-specific functionality
- Reduced bundle size for React-only applications

**Files Affected:**
- All components using Apollo hooks (50+ files)
- Main app provider component
- GraphQL container components

### `useLazyQuery` API Changes

The return value destructuring pattern for `useLazyQuery` changed in Apollo Client 4.x.

**Example - Query Function Extraction:**
```javascript
// BEFORE (Apollo Client 3.x)
const [, { data, refetch, queryLoading }] = useLazyQuery(QUERY_RO_AND_OWNER_BY_JOB_PKS, {
  variables: { jobids: [context.jobid] },
  skip: !context?.jobid
});

// AFTER (Apollo Client 4.x)
const [loadRoAndOwnerByJobPks, { data, loading: queryLoading, error: queryError, refetch, called }] = useLazyQuery(
  QUERY_RO_AND_OWNER_BY_JOB_PKS
);

// Call the query function explicitly when needed
useEffect(() => {
  if (context?.jobid) {
    loadRoAndOwnerByJobPks({ variables: { jobids: [context.jobid] } });
  }
}, [context?.jobid, loadRoAndOwnerByJobPks]);
```

**Key Changes:**
- **Query function must be destructured**: Previously ignored with `,` now must be named
- **Options moved to function call**: `variables` and other options passed when calling the query function
- **`loading` renamed**: More consistent with `useQuery` hook naming
- **`called` property added**: Track if the query has been executed at least once
- **No more `skip` option**: Logic moved to conditional query execution

**Benefits:**
- More explicit control over when queries execute
- Better alignment with `useQuery` API patterns
- Clearer code showing query execution timing

**Files Affected:**
- card-payment-modal.component.jsx
- bill-form.container.jsx
- Multiple job and payment components

---

## 6. forwardRef Pattern Migration

React 19 simplifies ref handling by allowing `ref` to be passed as a regular prop, eliminating the need for `forwardRef` in most cases.

### forwardRef Wrapper Removal

**Example - Component Signature Change:**
```javascript
// BEFORE
import { forwardRef } from "react";

const BillLineSearchSelect = ({ options, disabled, allowRemoved, ...restProps }, ref) => {
  const { t } = useTranslation();
  
  return (
    <Select 
      ref={ref}
      options={generateOptions(options, allowRemoved, t)}
      disabled={disabled}
      {...restProps}
    />
  );
};

export default forwardRef(BillLineSearchSelect);

// AFTER
const BillLineSearchSelect = ({ options, disabled, allowRemoved, ref, ...restProps }) => {
  const { t } = useTranslation();
  
  return (
    <Select 
      ref={ref}
      options={generateOptions(options, allowRemoved, t)}
      disabled={disabled}
      {...restProps}
    />
  );
};

export default BillLineSearchSelect;
```

**Key Changes:**
- **`ref` as regular prop**: Moved from second parameter to first parameter as a regular prop
- **No `forwardRef` import needed**: Removed from React imports
- **No `forwardRef` wrapper**: Export component directly
- **Same ref behavior**: Works identically from parent component perspective

**Benefits:**
- Simpler component API (single parameter instead of two)
- Reduced boilerplate code
- Better TypeScript inference
- More intuitive for developers

**Components Migrated:**
- BillLineSearchSelect
- ContractStatusComponent
- CourtesyCarFuelComponent
- CourtesyCarReadinessComponent
- CourtesyCarStatusComponent
- EmployeeTeamSearchSelect
- FormInputNumberCalculator
- FormItemCurrency
- FormItemEmail
- 10+ additional form components

---

## 7. React.lazy Import Cleanup

React 19 makes `React.lazy` usage more seamless, and in some cases lazy imports were removed where they were no longer beneficial.

**Example - Lazy Import Removal:**
```javascript
// BEFORE
import { lazy, Suspense, useEffect, useRef, useState } from "react";

const LazyComponent = lazy(() => import('./HeavyComponent'));

// AFTER
import { Suspense, useEffect, useRef, useState } from "react";

// Lazy loading handled differently or component loaded directly
```

**Context:**
- Some components had lazy imports removed where the loading behavior wasn't needed
- `Suspense` boundaries maintained for actual lazy-loaded components
- React 19 improves Suspense integration

**Files Affected:**
- Multiple route components
- Dashboard components
- Heavy data visualization components

---

## 8. StrictMode Integration

React 19's StrictMode was explicitly added to help catch potential issues during development.

**Addition:**
```javascript
import { StrictMode } from "react";

root.render(
  <StrictMode>
    <App />
  </StrictMode>
);
```

**Benefits:**
- Detects unexpected side effects
- Warns about deprecated APIs
- Validates React 19 best practices
- Double-invokes effects in development to catch issues

**Impact:**
- Helps ensure components work correctly with React 19 compiler
- Catches potential issues with state management
- Comment added: "This handles React StrictMode double-mounting"

---

## 9. React 19 New Hooks (Added Documentation)

The upgrade includes documentation for React 19's new concurrent hooks:

### `useFormStatus`
Track form submission state for better UX during async operations.

### `useOptimistic`
Implement optimistic UI updates that rollback on failure.

### `useActionState`
Manage server actions with pending states and error handling.

---

## 10. ESLint Configuration Updates

### React Compiler Plugin Added

**Addition to eslint.config.js:**
```javascript
plugins: {
  "react-compiler": pluginReactCompiler
},
rules: {
  "react-compiler/react-compiler": "error"
}
```

**Purpose:**
- Enforces React 19 compiler best practices
- Warns about patterns that prevent compiler optimizations
- Ensures code is compatible with automatic optimizations

---

## 11. Testing Library Updates

### @testing-library/react
- **Upgraded:** ^16.3.1 → ^16.3.2
- **Impact:** React 19 compatibility maintained
- Tests continue to work with updated React APIs

---

## 12. Peer Dependencies Updates

Multiple packages updated their peer dependency requirements to support React 19:

**Examples:**
```json
// BEFORE
"peerDependencies": {
  "react": ">=16.9.0",
  "react-dom": ">=16.9.0"
}

// AFTER
"peerDependencies": {
  "react": ">=18.0.0",
  "react-dom": ">=18.0.0"
}
```

**Affected Packages:**
- Multiple internal and external dependencies
