+# Local-First Architektur & Stack-Migration
+
+> **Status**: 🔵 In Planung
+> **Erstellt**: 2026-03-26
+> **Autor**: Claude Code + Till Schneider
+> **Ziel**: Alle ManaCore-Apps auf Local-First umstellen, Backend-Stack modernisieren
+
+---
+
+## Übersicht
+
+Dieser Plan beschreibt den Umbau der gesamten ManaCore-Architektur von einem klassischen Online-Only/API-First-Modell zu einer **Local-First-Architektur** mit grundlegender Modernisierung des Backend-Stacks.
+
+### Kernentscheidungen
+
+| Entscheidung | Vorher | Nachher |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Datenmodell** | API-First (Server ist Source of Truth) | Local-First (IndexedDB ist Source of Truth, Server synced) |
+| **Backend-Framework** | NestJS 10/11 | Hono auf Bun (App-Logik) + Go (Sync-Server) |
+| **Runtime** | Node.js | Bun (TypeScript), Go (Sync) |
+| **Client-Datenbank** | Keine (nur API-Calls) | Dexie.js (IndexedDB) mit reactiven liveQueries |
+| **Sync-Protokoll** | Keines (REST CRUD) | Eigenes Changeset-basiertes Protokoll (HTTP + WebSocket) |
+| **Auth-Framework** | NestJS + Better Auth | Hono + Better Auth (nativer Adapter) |
+| **AI Services** | Python (FastAPI) | Python (FastAPI) — keine Änderung |
+| **Datenbank** | PostgreSQL + Drizzle ORM | PostgreSQL + Drizzle ORM — keine Änderung |
+
+### Motivation
+
+1. **Guest-Mode als Nebeneffekt**: Nutzer landen direkt in der App, kein Login-Screen. Lokale Daten werden bei Anmeldung synchronisiert.
+2. **Instant UI**: Kein Loading-Spinner. Alle Reads < 1ms aus IndexedDB statt 200ms API-Roundtrip.
+3. **Echte Offline-Fähigkeit**: Voller CRUD offline, Sync bei Reconnect.
+4. **Weniger Backend-Code**: ~260 CRUD-Endpoints → ~40 spezialisierte Endpoints + 1 Sync-Protokoll.
+5. **Bessere Performance**: Go Sync-Server (100K+ Connections), Hono/Bun (6ms Cold Start, 100K+ req/s).
+6. **Multi-Device Sync**: Echtzeit via WebSocket Push.

+
+## Phase 1: Foundation (2-3 Wochen)
+
+### 1.1 `@manacore/local-store` Package
+
+**Pfad:** `packages/local-store/`
+
+Neues Shared Package das die gesamte Local-First-Logik kapselt.
+
+#### Kernkomponenten
+
+```

+│   └── types.ts               # Shared Types
+├── package.json
+└── tsconfig.json
+```
+
+#### API Design
+
+```typescript
+// Collection erstellen (pro Tabelle)
+const tasks = createLocalCollection<Task>({
+  name: 'tasks',
+  dbName: 'todo',
+  schema: {
+    id: 'string',
+    title: 'string',
+    priority: 'string',
+    projectId: 'string?',
+    isCompleted: 'boolean',
+    dueDate: 'date?',
+    subtasks: 'json?',
+    order: 'number',
+  },
+  indexes: ['projectId', 'dueDate', 'isCompleted', '[isCompleted+dueDate]'],
+  sync: {
+    endpoint: '/sync/todo',
+    conflictStrategy: 'field-level-lww',
+    pushDebounce: 1000,       // 1s nach letztem Write
+    pullInterval: 30_000,     // Alle 30s poll (Fallback zu WebSocket)
+  },
+});
+
+// Verwendung in Svelte-Komponenten
+const openTasks = tasks.query({ isCompleted: false }, { sortBy: 'order' });
+// → Reaktiver $state, updated automatisch bei lokalen UND sync'd Änderungen
+
+// Writes — synchron, kein await
+tasks.insert({ title: 'Neuer Task', priority: 'medium' });
+tasks.update(id, { priority: 'high' });
+tasks.delete(id);
+
+// Sync-Status
+tasks.syncStatus; // → 'synced' | 'pending' | 'syncing' | 'offline' | 'error'
+tasks.pendingChanges; // → Anzahl noch nicht sync'd Änderungen
+```
+
+#### Changeset-Format
+
+```typescript
+interface Changeset {
+  clientId: string;            // Geräte-ID
+  appId: string;               // 'todo', 'contacts', etc.
+  since: string;               // ISO Timestamp — letzter bekannter Sync-Punkt
+  changes: Change[];
+}
+
+interface Change {
+  table: string;               // 'tasks', 'projects', etc.
+  id: string;                  // Row UUID
+  op: 'insert' | 'update' | 'delete';
+  fields?: Record<string, {
+    value: unknown;
+    updatedAt: string;         // Timestamp pro Feld für LWW
+  }>;
+  data?: Record<string, unknown>; // Vollständiges Objekt bei Insert
+  deletedAt?: string;          // Soft-Delete Timestamp
+}
+```
+
+#### Conflict Resolution: Field-Level LWW
+
+```typescript
+// Beispiel: Zwei Geräte editieren denselben Task
+// Gerät A: priority = "high" (14:01:03)
+// Gerät B: title = "Einkaufen Rewe" (14:01:05)
+
+// Server vergleicht pro Feld:
+// - priority: A=14:01:03, Server=14:00:00 → A gewinnt
+// - title: B=14:01:05, Server=14:00:00 → B gewinnt
+// Ergebnis: priority="high", title="Einkaufen Rewe" → Kein Datenverlust
+```
+
+### 1.2 `mana-sync` Go Service
+
+**Pfad:** `services/mana-sync/`
+
+Zentraler Sync-Server für alle Apps. Ein Service, nicht einer pro App.
+
+#### Struktur
+
+```
+services/mana-sync/
+├── cmd/
+│   └── server/
+│       └── main.go            # Entry Point, Config, Startup
+├── internal/
+│   ├── sync/
+│   │   ├── handler.go         # HTTP Handler: POST /sync/:appId
+│   │   ├── engine.go          # Changeset verarbeiten, Conflicts lösen
+│   │   ├── changeset.go       # Changeset Typen
+│   │   └── conflict.go        # Field-Level LWW Logik
+│   ├── ws/

+│       └── config.go          # Environment Config
+├── go.mod
+├── go.sum
+├── Dockerfile
+└── README.md
+```
+
+#### Endpoints
+
+| Method | Path | Beschreibung |
+|--------|------|---|
+| `POST` | `/sync/:appId` | Changeset empfangen, Conflicts lösen, Delta zurückgeben |
+| `GET` | `/sync/:appId/pull` | Nur Server-Änderungen seit Timestamp abrufen |
+| `WS` | `/ws/:appId` | WebSocket für Push-Notifications |
+| `GET` | `/health` | Health Check |
+| `GET` | `/metrics` | Prometheus Metrics |
+
+#### Datenbank-Erweiterung
+
+Jede App-Tabelle bekommt Sync-Felder:
+
+```sql
+-- Migration: Sync-Felder zu bestehenden Tabellen hinzufügen
+ALTER TABLE tasks ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS updated_at TIMESTAMPTZ NOT NULL DEFAULT now();
+ALTER TABLE tasks ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS deleted_at TIMESTAMPTZ;
+ALTER TABLE tasks ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS client_id TEXT;
+ALTER TABLE tasks ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS field_timestamps JSONB DEFAULT '{}';
+ALTER TABLE tasks ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS version INTEGER DEFAULT 1;
+
+CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_tasks_sync ON tasks (user_id, updated_at);
+CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_tasks_deleted ON tasks (deleted_at) WHERE deleted_at IS NOT NULL;
+```
+
+`field_timestamps` speichert den letzten Änderungs-Zeitstempel pro Feld:
+```json
+{
+  "title": "2026-03-26T14:01:05Z",
+  "priority": "2026-03-26T14:01:03Z",
+  "isCompleted": "2026-03-26T13:00:00Z"
+}
+```
+
+### 1.3 Todo als Pilot
+
+Die Todo-App wird als erste auf Local-First umgebaut:
+
+1. **AuthGate**: `allowGuest={true}` setzen
+2. **Stores umbauen**: `tasksApi.list()` → `taskCollection.query()`
+3. **Guest-Seed**: Onboarding-Todos in Dexie.js laden
+4. **PillNav**: Prominenter "Anmelden"-Button wenn nicht eingeloggt
+5. **Sync aktivieren**: Nach Login startet Sync Engine
+
+**Aktuelles Todo-Backend behält CRUD-Endpoints** während der Migration. Sync-Endpoint kommt parallel dazu. Sobald alle Clients migriert sind, werden CRUD-Endpoints entfernt.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Todo komplett auf Hono/Bun (2-3 Wochen)
+
+### 2.1 Todo Backend: NestJS → Hono/Bun
+
+Was vom Todo-Backend übrig bleibt nach Local-First:
+
+| Endpoint | Warum Server-seitig |
+|---|---|
+| RRULE Expansion | DoS-Schutz (max 5000 Occurrences) |
+| Reminder Scheduling | Server muss Push-Notifications triggern |
+| Admin API | Zugriff auf alle User-Daten |
+| Credit Consumption | Authoritative Quelle |
+
+**Geschätzter Code:** ~500 LoC Hono statt ~3000 LoC NestJS
+
+### 2.2 Hono Backend Struktur
+
+```
+apps/todo/apps/backend/     # Oder: services/todo/ (umstrukturieren?)
+├── src/
+│   ├── index.ts             # Hono App + Routes
+│   ├── routes/
+│   │   ├── compute.ts       # Server-side Compute (RRULE, etc.)
+│   │   ├── reminders.ts     # Push-Notification Scheduling
+│   │   └── admin.ts         # Admin Endpoints
+│   ├── middleware/
+│   │   ├── auth.ts          # JWT Validation Middleware
+│   │   └── credits.ts       # Credit Check Middleware
+│   └── lib/
+│       ├── db.ts            # Drizzle ORM (bleibt gleich!)
+│       └── rrule.ts         # RRULE Business Logic
+├── package.json
+└── tsconfig.json
+```
+
+### 2.3 Guest-Mode UX
+
+- **Erster Besuch**: App lädt, IndexedDB leer → Seed-Daten werden geschrieben
+- **Onboarding-Todos** erklären die App:
+  - "Willkommen bei Todo! Tippe hier zum Bearbeiten"
+  - "Erstelle Projekte mit dem + Button oben"
+  - "Wische nach rechts zum Erledigen"
+  - "Melde dich an um zu synchronisieren →"
+- **PillNav** zeigt "Anmelden" Pill (prominent, unten links)
+- **AuthGateModal** erscheint bei sync-relevanten Aktionen
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: Rollout auf alle Apps (4-6 Wochen)
+
+Reihenfolge nach Komplexität:
+
+| App | Komplexität | Verbleibende Server-Logik |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Zitare** | Niedrig | Nur Sync |
+| **Calendar** | Mittel | RRULE, Google Calendar OAuth |
+| **Clock** | Niedrig | Nur Sync (Timer-State) |
+| **ManaDeck** | Mittel | Spaced Repetition Algorithmus, LLM-Integration |
+| **Contacts** | Hoch | Google OAuth Import, vCard/CSV Parser, Foto-Upload |
+| **Chat** | Hoch | LLM Streaming, Document Processing |
+| **Picture** | Hoch | Replicate API, Webhooks, Bild-Upload |
+| **Presi** | Mittel | Nur Sync + Export |
+
+Pro App:
+1. `createLocalCollection()` für jede Tabelle definieren
+2. Stores von API-Calls auf lokale Queries umbauen
+3. Guest-Seed-Daten erstellen
+4. NestJS-Endpoints identifizieren die Server-seitig bleiben
+5. Diese nach Hono/Bun migrieren
+6. Alten NestJS-Backend entfernen
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: Auth-Migration (2 Wochen)
+
+### mana-core-auth: NestJS → Hono/Bun
+
+Better Auth hat einen **nativen Hono-Adapter**. Migration:
+
+1. HTTP Layer: NestJS Controller → Hono Routes
+2. Better Auth: `toNodeHandler()` → `betterAuth.handler` (Hono-nativ)
+3. Drizzle ORM: Bleibt identisch
+4. Credits/Subscriptions: Service-Logik bleibt, nur HTTP-Layer ändert sich
+5. Stripe Webhooks: Express-kompatibel → Hono-Handler
+
+**Kritischer Pfad**: Alle Apps hängen von Auth ab. Gründliches Testen nötig.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: Infrastruktur & Cleanup (1-2 Wochen)
+
+- [ ] NestJS Dependencies aus dem Monorepo entfernen
+- [ ] `packages/shared-nestjs-auth` → `packages/shared-hono-auth`
+- [ ] `@mana-core/nestjs-integration` → `@mana-core/hono-integration`
+- [ ] Docker-Images auf Bun Base Image umstellen
+- [ ] Go Binary in Docker-Compose für mana-sync
+- [ ] CI/CD Pipeline anpassen (Go Build + Bun Build)
+- [ ] Monitoring: Prometheus Metrics für Sync-Server
+- [ ] Load Testing: Sync-Protokoll unter Last testen
+
+---
+
+## Risiken und Mitigationen
+
+| Risiko | Wahrscheinlichkeit | Impact | Mitigation |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Sync-Konflikte in Edge Cases | Mittel | Hoch | Ausführliche Tests mit simulierten Multi-Device-Szenarien |
+| Dexie.js Speicherlimits | Niedrig | Mittel | Quota-Monitoring, Cleanup-Strategie für alte Daten |
+| Bun-Inkompatibilität mit NPM Packages | Niedrig | Mittel | Fallback auf Node.js wenn nötig, Bun hat 99%+ Kompatibilität |
+| Go Lernkurve | Mittel | Niedrig | Sync-Server ist isoliert und hat klare, kleine API |
+| IndexedDB Corruption | Niedrig | Hoch | Server ist Backup, bei Corruption: Wipe + Full-Pull |
+| Better Auth Hono-Adapter Lücken | Niedrig | Mittel | Testen, ggf. Custom Middleware |
+
+---
+
+## Metriken für Erfolg
+
+| Metrik | Vorher (Ist) | Ziel |
+|---|---|---|
+| Time to Interactive (neuer Nutzer) | Login-Screen → nicht messbar | < 2 Sekunden → App mit Seed-Daten |
+| Task erstellen (Latenz) | 200-500ms (API) | < 5ms (lokal) |
+| Offline-Fähigkeit | Offline-Seite | Voller CRUD |
+| Backend Memory (pro Service) | ~150MB (NestJS) | ~15MB (Go) / ~40MB (Hono/Bun) |
+| Cold Start | 2-5s (NestJS) | ~6ms (Bun) / ~50ms (Go) |
+| CRUD Endpoints | ~260 | ~40 + 1 Sync-Protokoll |
+| Guest → Signup Conversion | 0% (kein Guest-Mode) | Messbar (Ziel: >5%) |
+
+---
+
+## Entscheidungs-Log
+
+| Datum | Entscheidung | Begründung |
+|---|---|---|
+| 2026-03-26 | Local-First statt Offline-Capable | Guest-Mode wird Nebeneffekt, Instant UI, weniger Backend-Code |
+| 2026-03-26 | Go für Sync-Server | Performance (100K+ WS), Memory (~4KB/Connection), Single Binary |
+| 2026-03-26 | Hono + Bun statt NestJS | 10x weniger Boilerplate, RPC Type Safety, 6ms Cold Start |
+| 2026-03-26 | Dexie.js statt SQLite WASM | 15KB vs 500KB, liveQuery() Reaktivität, breite Browser-Unterstützung |
+| 2026-03-26 | Field-Level LWW statt CRDT | Einfacher, löst 99% der Konflikte, kein Real-time Collab nötig |
+| 2026-03-26 | Python AI Services bleiben | Bestes Ökosystem für ML/AI, kein Grund zu wechseln |
+| 2026-03-26 | Phasenweise Migration | Kein Big Bang, jede App kann einzeln migriert werden |

+---
+
+Umfassende Architekturplanung mit dem Ziel, die gesamte ManaCore-Plattform fundamental zu modernisieren:
+
+- **Local-First statt API-First** — Alle Daten leben primär in IndexedDB (Dexie.js), Server synchronisiert im Hintergrund
+- **Guest-Mode als Nebeneffekt** — Kein Login-Screen mehr beim ersten Besuch, Nutzer landen direkt in der App
+- **Backend-Modernisierung** — NestJS wird durch Hono auf Bun ersetzt, neuer Go Sync-Server
+- **Instant UI** — Reads < 1ms aus IndexedDB statt 200-500ms API-Roundtrip
+- **Echtes Offline** — Voller CRUD ohne Netz, nicht nur gecachte Reads
+
+---
+
+## Ausgangslage: Das Login-Wall-Problem
+
+Wenn ein neuer Nutzer `todo.mana.how` besucht, passiert aktuell Folgendes:
+
+1. SvelteKit App lädt
+2. `AuthGate` Komponente prüft Auth-Status
+3. Kein Token vorhanden → Redirect zu `/login`
+4. Nutzer sieht Login-Screen, ohne die App je gesehen zu haben
+
+Das ist ein klassisches Conversion-Problem: Nutzer müssen sich committen (Account erstellen), bevor sie den Wert der App erleben. Die Lösung scheint einfach — `allowGuest=true` setzen und fertig. Aber die Frage "wo kommen dann die Daten her?" führt zu einer viel grundlegenderen Architekturentscheidung.
+
+---
+
+## Analyse: Was ist eigentlich "Offline"?
+
+Aktuell haben alle 20 Web-Apps PWA-Support via `@manacore/shared-pwa` mit Workbox-Caching:
+
+| Schicht | Status | Was es kann |
+|---------|--------|------------|
+| Service Worker + Precaching | Alle 20 Apps | App-Shell (HTML/CSS/JS) offline laden |
+| API Caching (NetworkFirst) | Alle Apps | Zuletzt geladene API-Responses aus Cache lesen |
+| Offline-Seite | Alle Apps | Fallback-UI wenn komplett offline |
+| Offline-Writes | Nur SkillTree | Daten in IndexedDB erstellen/bearbeiten |
+
+Das bedeutet: **Read-Only Offline** ist bereits da. Aber kein einziger Write funktioniert offline (ausser SkillTree mit dediziertem IndexedDB-Store).
+
+### Das Spektrum der Offline-Architekturen
+
+```
+Level 0          Level 1          Level 2          Level 3          Level 4
+Online-Only  →  Cache-Read   →  Offline-Capable → Offline-First → Local-First
+                (AKTUELL)                         (ZIEL)
+```
+
+- **Level 1 (aktuell):** Gecachte API-Responses lesbar, kein Write
+- **Level 2:** Writes werden gequeued, sync bei Reconnect
+- **Level 3:** App arbeitet immer gegen lokale DB, Server synced im Hintergrund
+- **Level 4:** Volle CRDT-basierte Sync, Real-time Collab
+
+**Entscheidung: Level 3 (Offline-First)** — Guest-Mode wird Nebeneffekt, Instant UI, voller Offline-CRUD. Level 4 (CRDT) ist Overengineering ohne Real-time-Collab-Requirement.
+
+---
+
+## Die neue Architektur
+
+### Client: Dexie.js als lokale Datenbank
+
+Jede App bekommt eine lokale IndexedDB-Datenbank via Dexie.js. Statt API-Calls liest und schreibt die App gegen lokale Daten:
+
+```
+VORHER:  Component → API Call → 200ms warten → State Update → Render
+NACHHER: Component → IndexedDB Read (< 1ms) → Render → Sync im Hintergrund
+```
+
+**Warum Dexie.js:**
+- `liveQuery()` — reaktive Queries, die automatisch UI updaten (perfekt für Svelte 5 runes)
+- 15KB Bundle (vs. 500KB für SQLite WASM)
+- Kein OPFS nötig, breite Browser-Unterstützung
+- Bewährte Library mit grosser Community
+
+**Neues Shared Package: `@manacore/local-store`** kapselt die gesamte Local-First-Logik:
+- `createLocalCollection<T>()` — Factory für typisierte, reaktive Collections
+- Sync Engine mit Field-Level Last-Write-Wins Conflict Resolution
+- WebSocket-Client für Push-Updates von anderen Geraeten
+- Offline-Queue für pending Writes
+
+### Sync-Server: Go
+
+Ein zentraler Sync-Server (`mana-sync`) in Go, der das Sync-Protokoll fuer alle Apps implementiert:
+
+**Warum Go:**
+- 100.000+ gleichzeitige WebSocket-Verbindungen (Goroutines, ~4KB/Connection)
+- P99 Latency < 1ms fuer Sync-Operationen
+- Single Binary Deployment (~15MB)
+- Perfekt fuer genau diese Art von I/O-bound Service
+
+**Was der Sync-Server macht:**
+1. Empfaengt Changesets von Clients (Batch von Aenderungen)
+2. Wendet Field-Level LWW an bei Konflikten
+3. Persistiert in PostgreSQL
+4. Gibt Server-Delta zurueck (was der Client noch nicht hat)
+5. Pushed via WebSocket an andere Geraete des Users
+
+**Was er NICHT macht:** Business-Logik, Auth, File-Uploads, AI-Calls. Das bleibt in den App-Backends.
+
+### App-Backends: Von NestJS zu Hono auf Bun
+
+Die groesste Aenderung: NestJS wird durch Hono ersetzt, laeuft auf Bun statt Node.
+
+**Warum weg von NestJS:**
+- Enterprise-Java-Philosophie (Angular-Style DI, Decorators, Module, Guards, DTOs...)
+- ~50MB node_modules pro Backend
+- 2-5 Sekunden Cold Start
+- Viel Boilerplate fuer einfache Aufgaben
+
+**Warum Hono:**
+- 14KB Bundle
+- < 50ms Cold Start auf Bun (< 6ms fuer Bun selbst)
+- Web-Standard API (fetch, Request/Response)
+- RPC Type Safety: Client importiert Server-Typen ohne Codegen
+- Laeuft ueberall: Bun, Node, Deno, Cloudflare Workers
+
+**Warum Bun:**
+- Nativer TypeScript-Support (kein Compiler noetig)
+- ~150K req/s (3x Node)
+- Built-in SQLite, Test Runner, Package Manager
+- Startup ~6ms statt ~300ms (Node)
+
+### Was sich am Backend aendert
+
+Durch Local-First fallen ~220 von ~260 Endpoints weg (alle CRUD). Was bleibt:
+
+| Kategorie | Beispiele | Bleibt weil |
+|-----------|-----------|-------------|
+| **External APIs** | Replicate (Bild-Gen), OpenRouter (LLM), Google OAuth | API Keys duerfen nicht zum Client |
+| **Webhooks** | Stripe Payment, Replicate Completion | Server muss Callbacks empfangen |
+| **Server-Compute** | RRULE Expansion (DoS-Schutz), Spaced Repetition | Zu teuer/riskant fuer Client |
+| **File Uploads** | Bilder, vCards, CSVs → MinIO/S3 | Braucht Server-seitigen Storage-Zugang |
+| **Credits** | Balance pruefen, Consumption tracken | Authoritative Quelle, Betrugsschutz |
+| **Admin** | User-Uebersicht, Metriken | Zugriff auf alle Daten |
+
+### Auth: Better Auth bleibt, NestJS geht
+
+Better Auth hat einen nativen Hono-Adapter. Die Migration ist hauptsaechlich ein HTTP-Layer-Wechsel, die Auth-Logik (EdDSA JWT, SSO, Organizations, Credits) bleibt identisch.
+
+### AI Services: Bleiben Python
+
+`mana-llm`, `mana-stt`, `mana-tts`, `mana-image-gen` — Python ist das richtige Oekosystem fuer ML/AI. Keine Aenderung.
+
+---
+
+## Conflict Resolution: Field-Level Last-Write-Wins
+
+Das Herzstück des Sync-Protokolls. Statt "ganzes Objekt gewinnt" wird pro Feld entschieden:
+
+```
+Gerät A (offline): Task "Einkaufen" → priority: "high"     (14:01:03)
+Gerät B (offline): Task "Einkaufen" → title: "Einkaufen Rewe" (14:01:05)
+
+Sync-Ergebnis:
+  title: "Einkaufen Rewe"  (B war neuer für dieses Feld)
+  priority: "high"          (A war einziger Editor für dieses Feld)
+  → Kein Datenverlust
+```
+
+Jede Tabelle bekommt ein `field_timestamps` JSONB-Feld das den letzten Aenderungszeitpunkt pro Feld speichert.
+
+---
+
+## Guest-Mode: Kein Sonderfall mehr
+
+Mit Local-First ist Guest-Mode kein Feature sondern der Default-Zustand:
+
+```
+Guest:      IndexedDB ←→ UI                (Sync Engine aus)
+Eingeloggt: IndexedDB ←→ UI ←→ Sync ←→ Server  (Sync Engine an)
+```
+
+Bei Login passiert:
+1. User meldet sich an
+2. Sync Engine startet
+3. Lokale Daten bekommen `userId`
+4. Alles wird zum Server gepusht
+5. Server-Daten (von anderen Geraeten) werden gepullt
+
+Kein separater Migrations-Endpoint, kein Sonderfall im Store-Code.
+
+### Onboarding-Seed pro App
+
+Jede App definiert Seed-Daten die bei erstem Besuch in IndexedDB geladen werden:
+
+- **Todo:** Beispiel-Projekt "Erste Schritte" mit erklaerenden Tasks
+- **Contacts:** Beispiel-Kontakt mit allen Feldern ausgefuellt
+- **Calendar:** Beispiel-Termine fuer diese Woche
+- **Chat:** Willkommensnachricht mit Erklaerung der Features
+
+---
+
+## Performance-Vergleich
+
+| Metrik | Aktuell (NestJS/Node) | Ziel (Go + Hono/Bun) |
+|--------|----------------------|----------------------|
+| Task erstellen | 200-500ms (API) | < 5ms (lokal) |
+| Seitenwechsel | Loading-Spinner + API | Instant (IndexedDB) |
+| Backend Memory/Service | ~150MB | ~15MB (Go) / ~40MB (Bun) |
+| Cold Start | 2-5s | ~6ms (Bun) / ~50ms (Go) |
+| Concurrent WebSockets | ~5.000 | ~100.000 (Go) |
+| Total Docker Image Size | ~3GB (6 NestJS) | ~250MB (1 Go + 3-4 Hono) |
+| CRUD Endpoints | ~260 | ~40 + 1 Sync-Protokoll |
+
+---
+
+## Migrationsplan (5 Phasen)
+
+### Phase 1: Foundation (2-3 Wochen)
+- `@manacore/local-store` Package bauen
+- `mana-sync` Go Service bauen
+- Todo als Pilot umbauen
+
+### Phase 2: Todo komplett (2-3 Wochen)
+- Todo NestJS → Hono/Bun
+- Guest-Mode + Onboarding-Seed
+- PillNav Login-Button
+
+### Phase 3: Alle Apps (4-6 Wochen)
+- Reihenfolge: Zitare → Calendar → Clock → ManaDeck → Contacts → Chat → Picture → Presi
+- Pro App: Collections definieren, Stores umbauen, NestJS → Hono
+
+### Phase 4: Auth-Migration (2 Wochen)
+- mana-core-auth: NestJS → Hono/Bun mit Better Auth Hono-Adapter
+
+### Phase 5: Cleanup (1-2 Wochen)
+- NestJS Dependencies entfernen
+- Shared Packages migrieren (shared-nestjs-auth → shared-hono-auth)
+- Docker-Images auf Bun Base umstellen
+- CI/CD anpassen
+
+---
+
+## Technologie-Entscheidungen
+
+| Entscheidung | Gewählt | Alternativen betrachtet | Begründung |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Lokale DB | Dexie.js | SQLite WASM, cr-sqlite | 15KB vs 500KB, liveQuery Reaktivität, breiter Support |
+| Sync-Server | Go | Rust, Elixir, Node | Performance + Einfachheit, perfekt für I/O-bound WebSocket Service |
+| App-Backend | Hono + Bun | Fastify, ElysiaJS, Express | RPC Type Safety, Web-Standard API, Multi-Runtime |
+| Conflict Strategy | Field-Level LWW | Volles CRDT (Automerge/Y.js) | Löst 99% der Konflikte, CRDT nur nötig bei Real-time Collab |
+| Runtime | Bun | Node, Deno | Nativer TS, 3x Performance, schnellster Startup |
+| Auth | Better Auth (bleibt) | Lucia, Auth.js | Bereits integriert, Hono-Adapter vorhanden |
+
+---
+
+## Zusammenfassung
+
+| Aspekt | Änderung |
+|--------|----------|
+| **Datenmodell** | API-First → Local-First (IndexedDB + Sync) |
+| **Backend-Framework** | NestJS → Hono auf Bun |
+| **Sync-Server** | Neu: Go Service (mana-sync) |
+| **Runtime** | Node.js → Bun |
+| **Guest-Mode** | Separater Code → Nebeneffekt der Architektur |
+| **Offline** | Read-Only Cache → Voller CRUD |
+| **UI-Geschwindigkeit** | API-abhängig → Instant (lokal) |
+| **AI Services** | Python → Python (keine Änderung) |
+| **Auth** | Better Auth bleibt, HTTP-Layer wechselt |
+
+## Nächste Schritte
+
+1. `@manacore/local-store` Package initialisieren
+2. Go-Projekt `mana-sync` aufsetzen
+3. Todo-App als Pilot: Stores auf Dexie.js umbauen
+4. Sync-Protokoll zwischen Client und Go-Server implementieren
+5. Guest-Seed und PillNav Login-Button für Todo
+
