Pull request overview
This PR scaffolds Capacitor configuration for Android support while also introducing build-time bundle analysis and route-based code splitting to reduce initial load cost in the React/Vite frontend.
Changes:
- Add Capacitor dependencies and
capacitor.config.ts, plus Android setup documentation. - Implement route-based lazy loading for all pages and add manual vendor chunking + bundle visualizer in Vite.
- Move
integrationsRegistryinto the frontendsrc/liband update theIntegrationsHubimport.

@capacitor/cli@^8.0.2 requires Node >=22 (per package-lock), but the repo CI/setup is pinned to Node 20. This will break npm ci/CI; either pin Capacitor CLI to a Node 20-compatible version, or bump the repo’s required Node version (CI workflows, docs, and contributors) accordingly.

The visualizer is currently enabled for all builds and writes dist/stats.html. This adds extra work/artifacts to normal vite build runs and can accidentally ship bundle analysis output (especially since dist/ is the Capacitor webDir). Consider gating this behind an env flag/script (e.g. only on ANALYZE=true) and/or outputting outside dist/.

This backup file looks like an accidental artifact of editing the generated routing config. Keeping a full duplicate pages.config in-repo is likely to get stale and may confuse contributors/tools. Recommend removing this file from version control (or moving it to documentation if it’s needed for reference).
| Successfully implemented code splitting to reduce initial JavaScript bundle size from **3.9MB to 345KB** - a **91% reduction**. | ||

The report claims the “500KB target” was achieved because the main chunk is 345KB, but later the “TOTAL (Initial Load)” is ~1.1MB including vendor chunks/CSS. Please clarify which metric the 500KB target refers to (main chunk vs total initial JS vs total initial bytes) and align the statements/tables accordingly to avoid misleading readers.

| ✅ **Target Achieved (Main App Chunk):** The main app entry chunk (345KB) is **well under the 500KB target**. The **total initial-load payload** (all initial JS + CSS, including vendor chunks) is ~**1.1MB**, as detailed in the "Initial Load Breakdown" section. | |

| **Note:** The main app entry chunk is now much smaller, but total dist size increased because code is split into many smaller chunks loaded on-demand. The **total initial-load payload** (all initial JS + CSS, including vendor chunks) is ~**1.1MB** and has still decreased substantially compared to the original monolithic bundle. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The document header states “Status: Production Ready”, but the checklist later indicates Android Studio build/run is not yet verified. Consider changing the status to reflect the current verification state (e.g., “Scaffolded / Pending Android build verification”) to avoid overstating readiness.

| ## Prerequisites | ||
|
|
||
| - Node.js 18+ |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Prerequisite says Node.js 18+, but the repo CI/setup uses Node 20 and @capacitor/cli@8.0.2 requires Node >=22. Update prerequisites to match the actual supported Node version (and/or adjust dependency versions) so the setup guide is actionable.
| - Node.js 18+ | |
| - Node.js 22+ (LTS recommended) |
Production Readiness Implementation Plan
Objective 1: Scaffold Capacitor with Android Platform Support ✅
Objective 2: Add 30+ Unit Tests (Target ≥30% Coverage)
Objective 3: Implement Supabase Row Level Security (RLS)
Objective 4: Implement Code Splitting ✅
