# Cloud Portal Architecture V3: Hybrid Domain-Driven Architecture

## Summary

This proposal introduces a comprehensive architectural refactoring of the Cloud Portal application, transitioning from the current Express-based BFF architecture to a modern Hono + React Query hybrid architecture. The new architecture separates concerns into a domain-driven data layer and a scalable UI layer, while replacing the current server infrastructure with a lightweight, type-safe Hono server.

**Status:** Proposal
**Stage:** Beta
**Version:** 3.0.0

## Motivation

### Current Pain Points

The existing Cloud Portal architecture has several limitations that impact developer productivity, application performance, and maintainability:

1. **Fragmented Data Layer**: Data fetching logic is scattered across loaders, components, and API routes without a unified pattern
2. **No Client-Side Caching**: Every navigation triggers server-side data fetching, leading to unnecessary API calls and poor user experience
3. **Express Overhead**: The Express server adds ~150KB to the bundle and lacks native TypeScript support
4. **Coupled UI and Data Logic**: Hooks mixing data fetching with UI concerns make testing and reuse difficult
5. **Inconsistent API Patterns**: Different domains follow different patterns for control classes, types, and API calls
6. **SSR/CSR Mismatch**: No hydration strategy leads to flash of loading states on client-side navigation
7. **Inconsistent Error Handling**: No standardized approach to error handling and logging makes production debugging difficult

### Goals

- **Unified Data Layer**: Establish a single source of truth for all data operations using domain-driven organization
- **Client-Side Caching**: Implement React Query for intelligent caching, background refetching, and optimistic updates
- **Lightweight Server**: Replace Express with Hono for 40-60% smaller bundle size and better performance
- **Clear Separation**: Strict separation between data layer (resources) and UI layer (features/components)
- **Type Safety**: End-to-end type safety from API to UI using Zod schemas and TypeScript
- **SSR Hydration**: Seamless server-to-client data transfer with dehydration/hydration pattern
- **Scalability**: Pattern-based architecture that scales with team size and codebase growth
- **Production Debugging**: Structured error handling and logging for easy debugging in production

### Non-Goals

- Complete rewrite of all existing features (incremental migration)
- Changing the underlying API structure (control plane APIs remain unchanged)
- Modifying authentication/authorization flows
- Restructuring the routing system

> The existing `app/modules/` folder continues to be used for reusable infrastructure. New modules for errors, logger, and monitoring will be added there alongside existing modules like `control-plane/`.

### User Stories

#### Story 1: Developer Adding a New Domain

As a developer, I want to add a new resource domain (e.g., "workloads") by following a consistent pattern, so that I can be productive immediately without learning new conventions.

**Acceptance Criteria:**
- Copy existing domain folder structure
- Implement types, schemas, keys, api, hooks, control
- All imports follow established patterns
- Tests can be written in isolation

#### Story 2: Component Developer Using Data

As a component developer, I want to access organization data using simple hooks, so that I don't need to understand the underlying API structure.

**Acceptance Criteria:**
```typescript
// Simple, discoverable API
import { useOrganizations, useCreateOrganization } from '@/resources/organizations';

function MyComponent() {
  const { data, isLoading } = useOrganizations();
  const createMutation = useCreateOrganization();
  // ...
}
```

#### Story 3: SSR with Client Hydration

As a user, I want pages to load with data already rendered (SSR) and then seamlessly transition to client-side interactions without loading flashes.

**Acceptance Criteria:**
- Initial page load shows server-rendered content
- Client hydrates with same data (no refetch)
- Subsequent navigations use cached data when available
- Background refetching updates stale data automatically

#### Story 4: Production Error Debugging

As a developer, I want to quickly trace and debug production errors using a request ID, so that I can identify root causes without extensive log searching.

**Acceptance Criteria:**
- Every request has a unique `requestId` attached
- All logs include request context (requestId, userId, orgId)
- Error responses include requestId for user reporting
- Structured JSON logs in production for easy parsing
- Errors are categorized and typed for appropriate handling

### Domain Structure Pattern

Each domain in `resources/` follows this consistent pattern:

```
resources/{domain}/
├── index.ts          # Public exports (barrel file)
├── types.ts          # TypeScript interfaces
├── schemas.ts        # Zod validation schemas
├── keys.ts           # React Query key factory
├── api.ts            # Client-side query options
├── api.server.ts     # Server-side prefetch (loaders only)
├── hooks.ts          # React Query hooks
└── control.ts        # API client wrapper (moved from modules/)
```

| File | Purpose | Can Import | Used By |
|------|---------|------------|---------|
| `types.ts` | TypeScript types | Nothing | Everything |
| `schemas.ts` | Zod validation | `types.ts` | Forms, API validation |
| `keys.ts` | Query key factory | Nothing | `api.ts`, `hooks.ts` |
| `api.ts` | Client query options | `keys.ts`, `types.ts` | `hooks.ts` |
| `api.server.ts` | SSR prefetch | `control.ts`, `keys.ts` | Route loaders |
| `hooks.ts` | React Query hooks | `api.ts`, `keys.ts` | Components, routes |
| `control.ts` | API wrapper | `types.ts` | `api.server.ts`, server routes |

### New Modules (extending app/modules/)

The following new modules will be added to the existing `app/modules/` folder:

```
modules/
├── errors/                   # Typed error classes (NEW)
│   ├── index.ts
│   ├── base.ts
│   ├── http.ts
│   ├── api.ts
│   └── validation.ts
├── logger/                   # Structured logging (NEW)
│   ├── index.ts
│   ├── logger.ts
│   └── request-logger.ts
├── monitoring/               # Error tracking & observability (NEW)
│   ├── index.ts
│   └── sentry.ts
└── control-plane/            # Existing (unchanged)
    └── ...
```

### Notes/Constraints/Caveats

> [!NOTE]
> **Server-Only Modules**: Files with `.server.ts` suffix follow React Router's convention and are automatically excluded from client bundles. They must NOT be exported from barrel files (`index.ts`).

> [!NOTE]
> **Control Class Migration**: Control classes are moved from `modules/control-plane/` to their respective domain folders, maintaining the same API but with better colocation.

> [!NOTE]
> **Extending app/modules/**: New infrastructure (errors, logger, monitoring) will be added to the existing `app/modules/` folder to maintain consistency with current patterns.

> [!WARNING]
> **Import Rules**: The architecture enforces strict import rules to maintain separation:
> - `resources/` cannot import from `features/` or `components/`
> - `features/` cannot import from other `features/`
> - `components/` cannot import from `features/`
> - `modules/` should not import from `resources/`, `features/`, or `components/`

### Risks and Mitigations

| Risk | Impact | Mitigation |
|------|--------|------------|
| Large migration scope | High | Incremental migration, domain by domain |
| Breaking changes to imports | Medium | Automated codemods for import updates |
| Learning curve for team | Medium | Comprehensive documentation and examples |
| Performance regression | Low | Benchmarking at each phase |
| Cache invalidation bugs | Medium | Thorough testing of mutation handlers |
| Production debugging complexity | Medium | Structured logging + request tracing |

## Design Details

### Hono Server Structure

```typescript
// app/server/entry.ts
import { createHonoServer } from 'react-router-hono-server/node';
import { createLoadContext } from './context';
import { requestContextMiddleware } from './middleware/request-context';
import { requestLoggerMiddleware } from './middleware/request-logger';
import { globalErrorHandler, notFoundHandler } from './middleware/error-handler';
import { logger } from '@/modules/logger';

export default await createHonoServer({
  configure: (app) => {
    // Register global error handler FIRST
    app.onError(globalErrorHandler);
    app.notFound(notFoundHandler);

    // Core middleware stack (order matters!)
    app.use('*', requestContextMiddleware);
    app.use('*', requestLoggerMiddleware);
    app.use('*', securityMiddleware());
    app.use('*', rateLimitMiddleware());
    app.use('*', authMiddleware());

    // Health checks (no logging overhead)
    app.get('/_healthz', (c) => c.json({ status: 'ok', timestamp: Date.now() }));

    // API routes
    app.route('/api', apiRoutes);

    logger.info('Server configured successfully');
  },
  getLoadContext: (c) => createLoadContext(c),
});
```

### Load Context with QueryClient

```typescript
// app/server/context.ts
import { createQueryClient } from '@/resources/core/query-client';
import type { RequestLogger } from '@/modules/logger';

export interface AppLoadContext {
  readonly appVersion: string;
  readonly cspNonce: string;
  readonly requestId: string;
  readonly controlPlaneClient: Client;
  readonly iamResourceClient: Client;
  readonly session: SessionData | null;
  readonly cache: Storage;
  readonly queryClient: QueryClient; // NEW: Per-request QueryClient
  readonly log: RequestLogger;       // NEW: Request-scoped logger
}

export function createLoadContext(c: Context<HonoEnv>): AppLoadContext {
  return {
    // ... existing context
    queryClient: createQueryClient(), // Fresh QueryClient per request
    log: c.get('log'),                // Request-scoped logger
  };
}
```

### Query Key Factory Pattern

```typescript
// app/resources/organizations/keys.ts
export const organizationKeys = {
  all: ['organizations'] as const,
  lists: () => [...organizationKeys.all, 'list'] as const,
  list: (filters?: { search?: string }) =>
    [...organizationKeys.lists(), filters] as const,
  details: () => [...organizationKeys.all, 'detail'] as const,
  detail: (name: string) => [...organizationKeys.details(), name] as const,
};
```

### SSR Prefetch + Hydration Pattern

```typescript
// Route loader (server-side)
export async function loader({ context }: LoaderFunctionArgs) {
  const { queryClient, controlPlaneClient, log } = context;

  try {
    // Prefetch data into queryClient
    await prefetchList(queryClient, controlPlaneClient);
  } catch (error) {
    // Log but don't throw - graceful degradation
    log.warn('SSR prefetch failed, will retry on client', {
      error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown',
    });
  }

  return {
    dehydratedState: dehydrate(queryClient),
  };
}

// Component (client-side)
export default function Page() {
  // Uses prefetched data, no loading state on initial render
  const { data } = useOrganizations();
  return <OrganizationList data={data} />;
}
```

### Mutation with Optimistic Updates

```typescript
// app/resources/organizations/hooks.ts
export function useUpdateOrganization() {
  const queryClient = useQueryClient();

  return useMutation({
    mutationFn: ({ name, data }) => api.update(name, data),

    // Optimistic update
    onMutate: async ({ name, data }) => {
      await queryClient.cancelQueries({ queryKey: organizationKeys.detail(name) });

      const previous = queryClient.getQueryData(organizationKeys.detail(name));

      queryClient.setQueryData(organizationKeys.detail(name), (old) => ({
        ...old,
        ...data,
      }));

      return { previous, name };
    },

    // Rollback on error
    onError: (err, vars, context) => {
      if (context?.previous) {
        queryClient.setQueryData(
          organizationKeys.detail(context.name),
          context.previous
        );
      }
    },

    // Refetch on settle
    onSettled: (_, __, { name }) => {
      queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: organizationKeys.detail(name) });
      queryClient.invalidateQueries({ queryKey: organizationKeys.lists() });
    },
  });
}
```

### Server Middleware (using modules)

```typescript
// app/server/middleware/request-context.ts
import { createMiddleware } from 'hono/factory';

  await next();
});

// app/server/middleware/request-logger.ts
import { createMiddleware } from 'hono/factory';

export const requestLoggerMiddleware = createMiddleware(async (c, next) => {
  const log = c.get('log');
  const start = c.get('requestStart');

  log.info('Request started', {
    userAgent: c.req.header('user-agent'),
    contentType: c.req.header('content-type'),
  });

  await next();

import { ZodError } from 'zod';
import { AppError, ValidationError } from '@/modules/errors';
import { logger } from '@/modules/logger';
import { captureError } from '@/modules/monitoring';

const isProduction = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production';

      message: `Route ${c.req.method} ${c.req.path} not found`,
      requestId,
    },
  }, 404);
}
```

### React Query Error Handling

```typescript
// app/resources/core/query-client.ts
import { QueryClient, QueryCache, MutationCache } from '@tanstack/react-query';
import { captureError } from '@/modules/monitoring';

export function createQueryClient() {
  return new QueryClient({
    defaultOptions: {
      queries: {
        staleTime: 1000 * 60,
        gcTime: 1000 * 60 * 5,
        retry: (failureCount, error) => {
          // Don't retry on client errors (4xx)
          if (isClientError(error)) return false;
          return failureCount < 2;
        },
        retryDelay: (attemptIndex) => Math.min(1000 * 2 ** attemptIndex, 30000),
      },
      mutations: {
        retry: false,
      },
    },
    queryCache: new QueryCache({
      onError: (error, query) => {
        console.error('[QueryCache Error]', {
          queryKey: query.queryKey,
          error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error',
        });
        captureError(error as Error, { queryKey: JSON.stringify(query.queryKey) });
      },
    }),
    mutationCache: new MutationCache({
      onError: (error, variables, context, mutation) => {
        console.error('[MutationCache Error]', {
          mutationKey: mutation.options.mutationKey,
          error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error',
        });
        captureError(error as Error, { mutationKey: JSON.stringify(mutation.options.mutationKey) });
      },
    }),
  });
}

function isClientError(error: unknown): boolean {
  if (error && typeof error === 'object' && 'statusCode' in error) {
    const statusCode = (error as { statusCode: number }).statusCode;
    return statusCode >= 400 && statusCode < 500;
  }
  return false;
}
```

### Client-Side API Error Type

```typescript
// app/resources/core/types.ts
export interface ApiErrorResponse {
  error: {
    code: string;
    message: string;
    requestId?: string;
    details?: Array<{ field: string; message: string }>;
  };
}

export class ApiError extends Error {
  public readonly code: string;
  public readonly statusCode: number;
  public readonly requestId?: string;
  public readonly details?: Array<{ field: string; message: string }>;

  constructor(response: ApiErrorResponse, statusCode: number) {
    super(response.error.message);
    this.name = 'ApiError';
    this.code = response.error.code;
    this.statusCode = statusCode;
    this.requestId = response.error.requestId;
    this.details = response.error.details;
  }

  isNotFound() { return this.statusCode === 404; }
  isUnauthorized() { return this.statusCode === 401; }
  isForbidden() { return this.statusCode === 403; }
  isValidation() { return this.code === 'VALIDATION_ERROR'; }
}
```

### Control Class Error Handling Pattern

```typescript
// app/resources/organizations/control.ts
import { ApiError, ApiErrorResponse } from '../core/types';
import type { Organization, CreateOrganizationInput } from './types';

export class OrganizationControl {
  constructor(private client: HttpClient) {}

  async list(): Promise<Organization[]> {
    const response = await this.client.get('/api/organizations');
    
    if (!response.ok) {
      const error: ApiErrorResponse = await response.json();
      throw new ApiError(error, response.status);
    }

    return response.json();
  }

  async get(orgId: string): Promise<Organization> {
    const response = await this.client.get(`/api/organizations/${orgId}`);
    
    if (!response.ok) {
      const error: ApiErrorResponse = await response.json();
      throw new ApiError(error, response.status);
    }

    return response.json();
  }

  async create(input: CreateOrganizationInput): Promise<Organization> {
    const response = await this.client.post('/api/organizations', input);
    
    if (!response.ok) {
      const error: ApiErrorResponse = await response.json();
      throw new ApiError(error, response.status);
    }

    return response.json();
  }
}
```

### React Error Boundaries

```typescript
// app/components/error-boundary.tsx
import { Component, ReactNode } from 'react';
import { ApiError } from '@/resources/core/types';
import { captureError } from '@/modules/monitoring';

interface Props {
  children: ReactNode;
  fallback?: ReactNode;
  onError?: (error: Error, errorInfo: React.ErrorInfo) => void;
}

interface State {
  error: Error | null;
}

export class ErrorBoundary extends Component<Props, State> {
  state: State = { error: null };

  static getDerivedStateFromError(error: Error): State {
    return { error };
  }

  componentDidCatch(error: Error, errorInfo: React.ErrorInfo) {
    console.error('[ErrorBoundary]', error, errorInfo);
    this.props.onError?.(error, errorInfo);
    captureError(error, { componentStack: errorInfo.componentStack });
  }

  render() {
    if (this.state.error) {
      if (this.props.fallback) return this.props.fallback;

      const error = this.state.error;
      const isApiError = error instanceof ApiError;

      return (
        <div className="flex flex-col items-center justify-center p-8 text-center">
          <h2 className="text-xl font-semibold text-destructive mb-2">
            {isApiError ? 'Request Failed' : 'Something went wrong'}
          </h2>
          <p className="text-muted-foreground mb-4">{error.message}</p>
          {isApiError && error.requestId && (
            <p className="text-xs text-muted-foreground font-mono">
              Request ID: {error.requestId}
            </p>
          )}
          <button
            onClick={() => this.setState({ error: null })}
            className="mt-4 px-4 py-2 bg-primary text-primary-foreground rounded"
          >
            Try Again
          </button>
        </div>
      );
    }

    return this.props.children;
  }
}

// app/components/query-error-boundary.tsx
import { useQueryErrorResetBoundary } from '@tanstack/react-query';

export function QueryErrorBoundary({ children }: { children: ReactNode }) {
  const { reset } = useQueryErrorResetBoundary();

  return (
    <ErrorBoundary
      onError={() => reset()}
      fallback={
        <div className="p-4 border rounded bg-destructive/10">
          <p>Failed to load data. Please try again.</p>
          <button onClick={() => reset()}>Retry</button>
        </div>
      }
    >
      {children}
    </ErrorBoundary>
  );
}
```

## Comparison: Old vs New Architecture

### Structure Comparison

| Aspect | Old Architecture | New Architecture |
|--------|------------------|------------------|
| **Server** | Express (~150KB) | Hono (~14KB) |
| **Data Fetching** | Scattered in loaders/components | Centralized in `resources/` |
| **Caching** | None (server-only) | React Query (client + SSR) |
| **Types** | Scattered in interfaces/ | Colocated in domain folders |
| **Control Classes** | Centralized in modules/ | Colocated with domain |
| **Hooks** | Mixed in features/ | Pure data hooks in resources/ |
| **API Routes** | routes/api/ (Express) | server/routes/ (Hono) |
| **Error Handling** | Inconsistent | Typed errors in `modules/errors/` |
| **Logging** | Basic console.log | Structured via `modules/logger/` |
| **Monitoring** | Ad-hoc | Centralized in `modules/monitoring/` |

### Pros and Cons

#### Old Architecture

**Pros:**
- Familiar Express patterns
- Simple mental model (loader → component)
- No additional dependencies (React Query)

**Cons:**
- No client-side caching (every navigation = server fetch)
- Bundle size overhead from Express
- Scattered code organization
- Difficult to test data logic in isolation
- No optimistic updates
- Flash of loading states on navigation
- Inconsistent error handling
- Hard to debug production issues

#### New Architecture

**Pros:**
- 40-60% smaller server bundle (Hono vs Express)
- Intelligent client-side caching
- Optimistic updates for better UX
- Background refetching keeps data fresh
- Clear separation of concerns
- Testable data layer
- Type-safe end-to-end
- SSR hydration eliminates loading flashes
- Scalable domain-driven organization
- **Structured error handling with typed errors**
- **Request tracing with requestId**
- **Production-ready logging (JSON format)**
- **Easy debugging via log search**
- **Reusable modules for other projects**

**Cons:**
- Learning curve for React Query patterns
- Additional complexity in cache invalidation
- Migration effort for existing code
- Need to understand hydration/dehydration

## What Makes This Architecture Interesting

### 1. **True Domain-Driven Design**

Each domain is self-contained with all related code colocated:
- Types define the shape
- Schemas validate the data
- Keys organize cache entries
- APIs define how to fetch
- Hooks provide React integration
- Control handles API communication

### 2. **SSR + Client Caching Hybrid**

The architecture uniquely combines:
- Server-side rendering for SEO and initial load
- Client-side caching for fast navigation
- Background refetching for data freshness
- Optimistic updates for instant feedback

### 3. **Zero Loading States on Navigation**

With proper cache configuration:
```typescript
// User navigates to /org/my-org
// If data is cached and fresh → Instant render
// If data is stale → Show cached, refetch in background
// If no cache → Show loading (rare after initial load)
```

### 4. **Type-Safe Data Flow**

```
Control Class → API Response → Types → Schemas → Hooks → Components
       ↑                                                      ↓
       └────────────── Validation at every step ──────────────┘
```

### 5. **Scalable Team Workflow**

- **Domain Teams**: Each team owns their domain folder
- **UI Teams**: Work on features/components without touching data
- **Platform Teams**: Maintain core/ and server/
- **Clear Boundaries**: Import rules prevent coupling

### 6. **Production-Ready Error Handling**

Every error is traceable:
```
User reports issue with requestId
         ↓
Search logs by requestId
         ↓
Full request trace: start → control plane calls → error point
         ↓
Sentry shows stack trace + context
         ↓
Root cause identified in minutes
```

### 7. **Reusable Infrastructure via Modules**

New modules (`errors/`, `logger/`, `monitoring/`) follow existing `app/modules/` patterns:
- Independent and self-contained
- Easy to extract for other projects
- Clear boundaries with the rest of the application

## Production Readiness Review

### Feature Enablement and Rollout

- [x] Feature can be disabled by reverting to Express setup
- [x] Incremental migration possible (domain by domain)
- [x] Rollback plan: Keep Express server alongside during migration
- [x] Feature flags not required (infrastructure change)

### Monitoring Requirements

- Request ID tracing throughout the stack
- Structured JSON logging for production
- Global error handler with sanitized responses
- Sentry integration for error tracking
- Add React Query devtools for development
- Monitor cache hit/miss rates
- Track API call reduction metrics
- Add error boundaries for query failures

### Dependencies

- `@tanstack/react-query`: ^5.x (well-maintained, large community)
- `hono`: ^4.x (actively maintained, Cloudflare-backed)
- `react-router-hono-server`: ^2.x (official integration)
- `nanoid`: ^5.x (request ID generation)
- `@sentry/react`: ^8.x (error monitoring)
- `zod`: ^3.x (validation, already in use)

### Scalability

- QueryClient per request prevents memory leaks
- Cache limits configurable via gcTime
- Background refetch can be disabled for high-traffic scenarios
- Structured logs are easy to aggregate and search

### Environment Variables

```bash
# .env.example

# Logging
LOG_LEVEL=info              # debug | info | warn | error | fatal
NODE_ENV=production         # development | production

# Monitoring
SENTRY_DSN=https://xxx@sentry.io/xxx
DEPLOYMENT_ENV=production   # staging | production
```

## Implementation History

| Date | Milestone |
|------|-----------|
| Phase 1 | Hono server structure + middleware |
| Phase 2 | Modules setup (errors, logger, monitoring) |
| Phase 3 | Resources core (query client, options, error types) |
| Phase 4 | Organizations domain migration |
| Phase 5 | Projects domain migration |
| Phase 6 | DNS domain (nested: zones, records) |
| Phase 7 | IAM domain (nested: roles, groups, policies) |
| Phase 8 | Remaining domains |
| Phase 9 | Route updates (SSR prefetch) |
| Phase 10 | Cleanup old modules/control-plane |

---

## Drawbacks

1. **Migration Effort**: Significant upfront investment to migrate existing code
2. **Learning Curve**: Team needs to learn React Query patterns
3. **Cache Complexity**: Cache invalidation requires careful thought
4. **Bundle Size Trade-off**: React Query adds ~12KB (offset by Express removal)
5. **Error Class Overhead**: More code for error handling (offset by debugging benefits)

## Appendix A: Quick Reference

### Import Cheat Sheet

```typescript
// From modules (reusable infrastructure)
import { AppError, NotFoundError, ValidationError } from '@/modules/errors';
import { logger, createRequestLogger } from '@/modules/logger';
import { captureError, initMonitoring } from '@/modules/monitoring';

// From resources (data layer)
import {
  useOrganizations,           // Hook
  type Organization,          // Type
  organizationSchema,         // Schema
  organizationKeys,           // Keys
} from '@/resources/organizations';

// From resources core (shared data utilities)
import { ApiError } from '@/resources/core/types';

// From features (UI layer)
import {
  OrganizationCard,
  OrganizationList,
} from '@/features/organizations';

// From components (shared UI)
import { Button } from '@/components/ui/button';
import { ErrorBoundary } from '@/components/error-boundary';

// In loaders only (server)
import * as orgServer from '@/resources/organizations/api.server';
```

### Adding a New Domain Checklist

- [ ] Create `resources/{domain}/` folder
- [ ] Define `types.ts` with interfaces
- [ ] Create `schemas.ts` with Zod schemas
- [ ] Set up `keys.ts` with query key factory
- [ ] Implement `api.ts` with query options
- [ ] Implement `api.server.ts` with prefetch helpers
- [ ] Create `hooks.ts` with useQuery/useMutation
- [ ] Move/create `control.ts` for API wrapper (with error handling)
- [ ] Export public API from `index.ts`
- [ ] Add server routes in `server/routes/` (with typed errors from `@/modules/errors`)
- [ ] Update any existing components to use new hooks
- [ ] Wrap feature components with ErrorBoundary

## Appendix B: Production Debugging Guide

### When User Reports an Error

1. **Get the Request ID** from error response or user screenshot
2. **Search logs** by `requestId`:
   ```bash
   # Example: search in CloudWatch/Loki
   { requestId="abc123xyz" }
   ```
3. **Check Sentry** for stack trace and context
4. **Review upstream logs** if error shows `CONTROL_PLANE_ERROR`
5. **Check React Query DevTools** state if UI-related

### Log Search Patterns

```bash
# Find all errors for a user
{ userId="user_123" level="error" }

# Find slow requests
{ duration>5000 }

# Find all requests for an organization
{ organizationId="org_abc" }

# Find specific error type
{ code="CONTROL_PLANE_ERROR" upstream="iam-api" }
```

### Error Response Format

All API errors follow this format:
```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "NOT_FOUND",
    "message": "Organization with identifier 'abc' not found",
    "requestId": "req_xyz123abc"
  }
}
```

For validation errors:
```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
    "message": "Validation failed",
    "requestId": "req_xyz123abc",
    "details": [
      { "field": "name", "message": "Name is required" },
      { "field": "email", "message": "Invalid email format" }
    ]
  }
}
```
