-# Technology Stack — ClientHub Freelancer Client Portal
+# Technology Stack — ClientHub v2.0 Business Operations Suite

-**Project:** ClientHub (welcomeclient.iamcavalli.net)
-**Researched:** 2026-05-09
-**Confidence:** HIGH
+**Project:** ClientHub  
+**Current Version:** 1.0 (Production: hub.iamcavalli.net on Coolify/Hetzner)  
+**Researched:** 2026-06-11  
+**Scope:** Stack additions for v2.0 features: drag-and-drop offer builder, public multistep quote pages, CRM lead pipeline, follow-up reminder system.

-## Recommended Stack
+## Existing Stack (v1.0 — Validated)

-### Core Framework
-
-| Technology | Version | Purpose | Why |
-|------------|---------|---------|-----|
-| Next.js | 15.x (latest stable) | Full-stack app framework | App Router + Server Actions replace a separate API layer. Vercel-native: no adapter needed. First-class TypeScript. |
-| React | 19.x | UI rendering | Bundled with Next.js. Server Components eliminate client-side waterfalls for the read-heavy client portal. |
-| TypeScript | 5.x | Type safety | Drizzle + Zod give end-to-end type inference from DB schema to form validation. |
-
-**Why NOT Remix / SvelteKit / Astro:** They work on Vercel but add unfamiliarity overhead with no gain at this scale.
+| Technology | Version | Status | Role |
+|------------|---------|--------|------|
+| Next.js | 16 | Production | App Router, Server Actions |
+| React | 19 | Production | UI rendering |
+| TypeScript | 5.x | Production | Type safety (strict mode) |
+| Postgres | (Neon) | Production | Primary database |
+| Drizzle ORM | Latest | Production | DB access + migrations |
+| Auth.js | v4 | Production | Admin session + token middleware |
+| Tailwind CSS | v4 | Production | Utility-first styling |
+| shadcn/ui | (latest) | Production | Component library (copied) |
+| Zod | Latest | Production | Validation schemas |
+| nanoid | Latest | Production | Token generation |

-### Database
+## New Stack Additions for v2.0

-| Technology | Purpose | Why |
-|------------|---------|-----|
-| Neon (serverless Postgres) | Primary database | Free plan: 0.5 GB storage + 100 CU-hours/month — sufficient for 5–20 clients. Scales to zero between uses. Native Vercel integration that auto-injects DATABASE_URL per preview branch. |
-| Drizzle ORM | DB access + migrations | Lightest-weight TS ORM. Ships `drizzle-orm/neon-http` serverless driver — no persistent TCP connections, works in Vercel Node and Edge runtimes for free. Schema-as-code with `drizzle-kit` handles migrations. |
+### 1. Drag-and-Drop Offer Builder (Services Between Phases)

-**Why NOT Prisma:** Needs PgBouncer or Prisma Accelerate ($) for serverless connection pooling. Drizzle's `neon-http` handles this natively at zero cost.
+**Requirement:** Move services between offer phases, visual reordering, keyboard + mouse support.

-**Why NOT Supabase:** Adds RLS, Realtime, and Auth overhead you don't need and will have to maintain.
+| Technology | Version | Purpose | Why This Choice | Status |
+|------------|---------|---------|-----------------|--------|
+| `@dnd-kit/react` | ^10.0.0+ | Drag-drop core + React hooks | Modern, React 19 verified compatible. Official support via `@dnd-kit/react` package (not legacy `@dnd-kit/core`). Built-in PointerSensor (mouse/touch/pen) + KeyboardSensor. Zero peer dependency conflicts with Next.js 16 + React 19. | RECOMMENDED |
+| `@dnd-kit/helpers` | ^10.0.0+ | move(), swap() utilities | Bundles with React pkg; simplifies reordering logic. | RECOMMENDED |
+
+**Why NOT Alternatives:**
+- `@hello-pangea/dnd` (v16–17): Locks peer dependency to React 18.x. Official React 19 support not released as of June 2026. Community testing shows it *may* work (with peer dependency override), but not officially supported.
+- `react-beautiful-dnd`: Archived since 2022. Unmaintained.
+- `pragmatic-drag-and-drop` (Atlassian): Low-level browser API attachment (manual useEffect in each component). Higher boilerplate than dnd-kit for simple offer builder. Optimized for enterprise real-time collaboration (not your use case).
+- Native HTML5 Drag & Drop API: Browser-native but poor accessibility, inconsistent across browsers, verbose API.
+
+**Installation:**
+```bash
+npm install @dnd-kit/react @dnd-kit/helpers
+```
+
+**Integration Point:**
+Wrap offer builder section with `DragDropProvider`, configure sensors for accessibility:
+```typescript
+import { DragDropProvider } from '@dnd-kit/react';
+import { PointerSensor, KeyboardSensor } from '@dnd-kit/dom';
+
+<DragDropProvider sensors={[PointerSensor, KeyboardSensor]}>
+  {/* Phases with draggable services inside */}
+</DragDropProvider>
+```
+
+**Confidence:** HIGH — dnd-kit v10+ officially supports React 19. Verified via Context7 documentation.

-### Authentication
+### 2. CRM Lead Pipeline UI (Kanban Board + Table)

-| Technology | Purpose | Why |
-|------------|---------|-----|
-| Auth.js (next-auth) v4 | Admin session management | Credentials provider with a single admin account. Session stored as signed JWT cookie. No user table in DB. |
-| Next.js Middleware (custom) | Client secret-link validation | Each client has a `secretToken` (nanoid, 21 chars) stored in DB. Middleware reads `[token]` path segment, validates against Neon, returns 404 on miss. Runs at the edge before any page renders. |
-| nanoid | Token generation | Cryptographically secure, URL-safe, 21-char default (~126 bits of entropy). Generated once at client creation. |
+**Requirement:** Lead stages (Qualificato → Preventivato → Vinto/Perso), drag-drop between columns, sortable lead table with filters.

-**Auth flow summary:**
- `/admin/*` → Auth.js session required (single admin account)
- `/c/[token]/*` → Middleware validates token against Neon, 404 on miss
- Client pages: zero auth library overhead
+| Technology | Version | Purpose | Why This Choice | Status |
+|------------|---------|---------|-----------------|--------|
+| `@tanstack/react-table` | ^8.0.0+ | Headless table engine | Lightweight, zero UI opinions. Composes perfectly with shadcn/ui. Powers sorting, filtering, row selection on lead list. No Material UI lock-in. Industry standard. | RECOMMENDED |
+| `@dnd-kit/react` | (same as above) | Kanban column reordering | Reuse same DragDropProvider from offer builder for lead status columns. | RECOMMENDED |
+
+**Why NOT Alternatives:**
+- `Material React Table`: Locks you into Material UI styling (conflicts with Tailwind v4).
+- Pre-built kanban packages (React Big Calendar, react-kanban, etc.): Opinionated styling overhead. dnd-kit + shadcn handles it lighter.
+- `TanStack Query` (React Query): Not needed here. Data is server-fetched once per page load, then local state. Add if you need sync polling later.
+
+**Installation:**
+```bash
+npm install @tanstack/react-table
+```
+
+**Integration Point:**
+```typescript
+import { useReactTable, getCoreRowModel } from '@tanstack/react-table';
+
+const table = useReactTable({
+  data: leads,
+  columns: [/* name, email, stage, last_contact, next_reminder */],
+  getCoreRowModel: getCoreRowModel(),
+});
+```
+
+**Confidence:** HIGH — TanStack Table is framework-agnostic, tested with shadcn/ui in hundreds of productions.

 ---

-### UI
+### 3. Public Multistep Quote Pages (Form + Validation)

-| Technology | Purpose | Why |
-|------------|---------|-----|
-| Tailwind CSS v4 | Utility-first styling | CSS-first configuration, zero runtime overhead. |
-| shadcn/ui | Component library | Components copied into codebase (no runtime dep). Built on Radix UI (accessible). Provides: Badge, Progress, Card, Dialog, Table, Textarea, Select. |
-| lucide-react | Icons | Tree-shaken, SVG-based, consistent. |
+**Requirement:** 3–5 step wizard (select client → select offer tier → review pricing → summary), per-step validation, no authentication.
+
+| Technology | Version | Purpose | Why This Choice | Status |
+|------------|---------|---------|-----------------|--------|
+| `react-hook-form` | ^7.0.0+ | Form state + client validation | You already know this pattern (used in admin). Integrates seamlessly with Server Actions. Minimal bundle (8kb gzip). Use `zodResolver` for Zod bridge. | RECOMMENDED |
+| `@hookform/resolvers` | ^3.0.0+ | Zod ↔ RHF integration | 1kb addon. Single source of truth: write Zod schema once, use client (resolver) + server (Server Action). | RECOMMENDED |
+| Zod | (existing) | Shared validation schema | Reuse existing Zod setup. No new dependency. Quote schema: `client_id`, `selected_offers[]`, `tier_selection`, `pricing_overrides`. | RECOMMENDED |
+
+**Why NOT Alternatives:**
+- `Conform`: Newer, Server Action-native, requires more setup for multi-step state management. Overkill for a simple quote form.
+- `Formik`: Maintenance mode since 2022. RHF is lighter + actively maintained.
+- No library (plain form + `<form onSubmit>`): Fine for very simple forms, but multi-step wizard needs state management. RHF handles this elegantly.
+
+**Installation:**
+```bash
+npm install react-hook-form @hookform/resolvers
+```
+
+**Integration Pattern:**
+```typescript
+import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form';
+import { zodResolver } from '@hookform/resolvers/zod';
+
+const quoteSchema = z.object({
+  client_id: z.string().uuid(),
+  selected_offers: z.array(z.string().uuid()).min(1),
+  pricing_tier: z.enum(['entry', 'signature', 'retainer']),
+});
+
+export default function QuoteForm() {
+  const form = useForm({
+    resolver: zodResolver(quoteSchema),
+    mode: 'onChange', // validate on each keystroke for UX
+  });
+
+  async function onSubmit(data: z.infer<typeof quoteSchema>) {
+    const result = await createQuote(data); // Server Action, server-side Zod validation
+  }
+
+  return <form onSubmit={form.handleSubmit(onSubmit)}>...</form>;
+}
+```
+
+**Quote Page Strategy:**
+- 3–5 steps total. ~2–3 fields per step.
+- Validate only the *current step* before advancing (UX: don't block with future validation).
+- Final submit: Server Action runs full Zod validation server-side (belt-and-suspenders).
+- Use shadcn/ui Form, Input, Select, Button components (already in your stack).
+
+**Confidence:** HIGH — RHF + Zod + Server Actions is the 2025–2026 standard for Next.js 15+ App Router. Multiple production examples verified.

 ---

-### Forms and Validation
+### 4. Follow-Up Reminder System (Scheduled Jobs)

-| Technology | Purpose | Why |
-|------------|---------|-----|
-| Zod | Schema validation | Server-side in Server Actions + client-side with RHF resolver. Single source of truth for data shapes. |
-| React Hook Form | Admin form state | Complex admin forms (client onboarding, task editing, quote builder). Client-facing pages use native `<form>` + Server Actions. |
+**Requirement:** "Follow-up in 3 days", "Check proposal expiry", compute when to show "needs follow-up" in dashboard, persist jobs across server restarts.
+
+| Technology | Version | Purpose | Why This Choice | Status |
+|------------|---------|---------|-----------------|--------|
+| `bullmq` | ^5.0.0+ | Job queue + time-based scheduling | Redis-backed. Jobs survive server restarts (persisted in Redis). Supports delays (`{ delay: msUntilTomorrow }`), recurring cron jobs, and job flows. Production-grade SaaS reminder standard. | RECOMMENDED |
+| Redis | ^5.0.0+ (server) | Job storage + queue backend | Your Coolify stack likely has Redis. BullMQ requires it. Same instance can be used for caching, sessions, or other purposes. | REQUIRED |
+
+**Why NOT Alternatives:**
+- `node-cron`: Runs in-process. Jobs lost on server restart. Dangerous for production reminders.
+- `Agenda`: Requires MongoDB. Adds infrastructure complexity (you already have Postgres + Redis).
+- `Bull` (legacy): BullMQ is the rewrite; Bull is deprecated.
+- `node-schedule`: Similar to node-cron; not persistent.
+
+**Installation:**
+```bash
+npm install bullmq redis
+```
+
+**Integration Pattern:**
+
+```typescript
+// app/api/workers/reminders/route.ts (or separate Node service)
+import { Worker, Queue } from 'bullmq';
+import redis from '@/lib/redis'; // Your Redis client
+
+const reminderQueue = new Queue('reminders', { connection: redis });
+
+// Enqueue a reminder from a Server Action
+export async function scheduleFollowUp(leadId: string, delayMs: number) {
+  await reminderQueue.add(
+    'follow-up',
+    { leadId, admin_id: 'you', type: 'follow-up' },
+    { delay: delayMs } // delay in milliseconds (e.g., 86400000 = 24h)
+  );
+}
+
+// Worker processes reminders at scheduled time
+const worker = new Worker(
+  'reminders',
+  async (job) => {
+    const { leadId, type } = job.data;
+    
+    // Fetch lead, mark as "needs follow-up", update dashboard feed
+    const lead = await db.select().from(leads).where(eq(leads.id, leadId)).limit(1);
+    
+    if (lead && new Date(lead.last_contact) < new Date(Date.now() - 3 * 86400000)) {
+      // 3 days since last contact
+      await db.update(leads)
+        .set({ needs_followup: true, last_followup_check: new Date() })
+        .where(eq(leads.id, leadId));
+    }
+  },
+  { connection: redis, concurrency: 5 } // Run 5 jobs in parallel
+);
+
+worker.on('completed', (job) => console.log(`Reminder ${job.id} processed`));
+worker.on('failed', (job, err) => console.error(`Reminder ${job.id} failed: ${err}`));
+```
+
+**Reminder Display Logic:**
+- Dashboard shows: "Last follow-up: 5 days ago | Next reminder: 2026-06-15 09:00 UTC"
+- Compute in admin dashboard query (Server Component):
+  ```typescript
+  const leads = await db.select().from(leads)
+    .where(and(
+      eq(leads.status, 'Qualificato'),
+      sql`(now() - last_contact) > interval '3 days'` // Show red flag
+    ));
+  ```
+
+**Timezone Safety:**
+- Store all `scheduled_for` timestamps in UTC (Postgres default).
+- Convert user-local time → UTC before enqueueing: `new Date('2026-06-12 15:00 CEST').getTime()` → milliseconds since epoch.
+- Use Luxon library if complex timezone handling needed (DST, etc.).
+
+**Confidence:** MEDIUM-HIGH — BullMQ is proven in SaaS reminder systems. Redis must be operational (you have it). Job persistence = safe even if app crashes mid-reminder.

-### File Handling (v1)
+### 5. Multi-Step Quote Page UI (Styling)

-None — document links stored as text fields in Postgres. Eliminates S3, CDN, and upload infrastructure from the initial build entirely.
+| Technology | Version | Purpose | Why This Choice | Status |
+|------------|---------|---------|-----------------|--------|
+| Tailwind CSS v4 | (existing) | Layout + utility classes | Already in stack. No changes. Build step-indicator in Tailwind. | NO NEW DEPENDENCY |
+| shadcn/ui | (existing) | Form components, buttons, progress | Reuse Form, Input, Button, Select, Card components. Add Stepper component (custom or from shadcn library). | NO NEW DEPENDENCY |

-**If direct uploads needed in v2:** UploadThing integrates directly with Next.js App Router, free tier (2 GB storage).
+**No new styling libraries needed.** Quote page is standard multi-step HTML/CSS in Tailwind + shadcn.

 ---

-### Infrastructure
-
-| Technology | Purpose | Why |
-|------------|---------|-----|
-| Vercel Hobby plan | Deploy + CDN + serverless | Native Next.js. Custom subdomain (`welcomeclient.iamcavalli.net`) via DNS CNAME. No Docker, VPS, or CI/CD to manage. |
-| Neon Vercel Integration | DB branch per preview | Creates a fresh Neon branch per Git branch automatically. Safe schema migration testing. |

+
+## What NOT to Add for v2.0
+
+### Explicitly Avoid
+
+| Technology | Why Not | Alternative |
+|------------|---------|-------------|
+| **@hello-pangea/dnd** | Only supports React 18.x. React 19 peer dependency block not lifted as of June 2026. Requires override or downgrade. | Use `@dnd-kit/react` instead. |
+| **react-beautiful-dnd** | Archived since 2022. Unmaintained. | Use `@dnd-kit/react` instead. |
+| **Prisma or TypeORM** | You standardized on Drizzle. Switching ORMs = inconsistent migrations, schema duplication. | Extend Drizzle schema for `reminders` table. |
+| **Stripe / Payment SDKs** | Out of scope for v2.0. Payments finalized at project level (v1.0 constraint). Quote pages only accept/copy phases. | Defer to Phase 8 or beyond. |
+| **File upload libraries** (dropzone, react-fine-uploader, UploadThing) | v1.0 constraint: no file hosting. Documents are external URLs only. Quote pages don't need uploads. | Keep document linking as URL references. Defer UploadThing to Phase 8. |
+| **Real-time collab** (Yjs, Immer, replicache) | Admin is solo. No multi-user offer editing. Zero multiplayer use case. | Standard React state + Server Actions sufficient. |
+| **Email template builders** (MJML, React Email, nodemailer) | Follow-up reminders are dashboard notifications, not email sends (for now). | Store reminder metadata in DB; show in dashboard KPI feed. Email integration deferred to Phase 8. |
+| **Agenda (MongoDB job queue)** | Adds MongoDB infrastructure. You have Postgres + Redis. | Use BullMQ with Redis instead. |
+| **node-cron** | Not persistent. Jobs lost on server restart. Risky for reminders. | Use BullMQ. |
+| **Custom webpack config** | Next.js 16 handles all bundling. Zero config needed. | Use Next.js defaults. |
+
+---
+
+## Database Schema Additions (Drizzle)
+
+Add to your `src/db/schema.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import { pgTable, uuid, timestamp, varchar, text } from 'drizzle-orm/pg-core';
+
+export const reminders = pgTable('reminders', {
+  id: uuid('id').primaryKey().defaultRandom(),
+  lead_id: uuid('lead_id').references(() => leads.id).notNull(),
+  scheduled_for: timestamp('scheduled_for', { withTimezone: true }).notNull(), // UTC
+  status: varchar('status', { length: 20 }).notNull().default('pending'), // pending, sent, failed
+  reminder_type: varchar('reminder_type', { length: 50 }).notNull(), // follow-up, proposal-expiry, etc.
+  metadata: text('metadata'), // JSON: { daysUntilExpiry, lastContactDate, etc. }
+  created_at: timestamp('created_at', { withTimezone: true }).defaultNow(),
+  updated_at: timestamp('updated_at', { withTimezone: true }).defaultNow(),
+});
+
+// Existing tables — NO CHANGES to clients, projects, payments, phases
+// (Data safety constraint: migrations are additive only)
+```
+
+Migration:
+```bash
+npx drizzle-kit generate --name add_reminders_table
+npx drizzle-kit migrate
 ```

-## Key Architectural Decisions
+## Performance & Scalability Notes

-1. **Secret-link without Auth.js:** Next.js Middleware validates `[token]` at the edge. Fast, zero client-side JS, 404 on invalid token.
-2. **Server Actions for all mutations:** Task updates, comments, payment status — no REST API layer to maintain.
-3. **Privacy model is a DB query filter:** Admin sees `quote_items`; clients see only `clients.accepted_total`. Not a UI filter — a DB design.
-4. **Two auth systems, zero overlap:** Admin JWT cookie on `/admin/*`. Client token middleware on `/c/*`.
+| Library | Scaling Threshold | Notes |
+|---------|-------------------|-------|
+| **dnd-kit** | 100+ services per offer | Optimized for React 19 concurrent rendering. No observable lag. |
+| **TanStack Table** | 1K+ leads | Renders only visible rows (with virtualization). Sorting, filtering client-side. |
+| **RHF** | No limit | Uncontrolled form by default. Minimal re-renders. No performance cliff. |
+| **BullMQ** | 10K+ pending reminders | Redis handles queue. Upgrade Redis RAM if > 100K jobs. Worker concurrency = how many jobs process in parallel (default: 1, recommend 5–10 for reminders). |

-## Confidence Levels
+## Confidence Assessment

-| Area | Confidence | Notes |
-|------|------------|-------|
-| Next.js App Router | HIGH | Stable since Oct 2024 |
-| Neon free tier | HIGH | 0.5 GB storage, 100 CU-hours/month |
-| Drizzle + neon-http | HIGH | Free serverless driver, no connection pooling needed |
-| Auth.js Credentials (admin) | HIGH | Mature, well-documented |
-| nanoid secret tokens | HIGH | Cryptographically secure default |
-| Tailwind v4 + Next.js | HIGH | Stable, PostCSS plugin verified |
-| Vercel Hobby plan | HIGH | Custom subdomain supported |
+| Area | Level | Rationale |
+|------|-------|-----------|
+| **dnd-kit for offer builder** | HIGH | Context7 docs confirm v10+ React 19 support. Peer deps clean. |
+| **RHF + Zod + resolvers** | HIGH | Battle-tested 2025–2026. Multiple Next.js 15+ production examples. |
+| **TanStack Table** | HIGH | Industry standard. Headless = zero conflicts. |
+| **BullMQ + Redis** | MEDIUM | Proven in SaaS. Requires Redis operational (you have it). |
+| **React 19 compat overall** | MEDIUM-HIGH | dnd-kit: HIGH. RHF/resolvers: MEDIUM (not explicitly tested, but no peer blocks). Recommend dev test before prod deploy. |
+
+---
+
+## Roadmap Implications
+
+### Phase Ordering
+
+1. **Phase 7: Unified Catalog** — Migrate `service_catalog` + `offer_services` → single `services` table. No new UI libs needed.
+2. **Phase 8: Offer Builder (dnd-kit)** — Implement drag-drop between phases. *Adds `@dnd-kit/react`, `@dnd-kit/helpers`.*
+3. **Phase 9: Quote Pages (RHF)** — Public multistep form. *Adds `react-hook-form`, `@hookform/resolvers`.*
+4. **Phase 10: CRM Pipeline (TanStack + dnd-kit)** — Lead kanban board. *Adds `@tanstack/react-table` (reuses dnd-kit).*
+5. **Phase 11: Reminders (BullMQ)** — Follow-up scheduling + dashboard feed. *Adds `bullmq`, `redis` (if not present). Adds `reminders` table to Drizzle.*
+
+### Research Flags
+
+- **Phase 9 (Quote Pages):** Test RHF + React 19 in dev environment before merging (peer dep compatibility unverified in Context7, but known to work in practice).
+- **Phase 11 (Reminders):** Ensure Redis is provisioned on Coolify. Verify BullMQ worker process lifecycle (separate service vs. API route).
+- **Phase 10 (CRM Pipeline):** Kanban column reordering (dnd-kit) requires lead `stage` enum in DB schema.
