+# TodoMVC Application - Comprehensive Test Plan
+
+## Application Overview
+
+The TodoMVC application is a React-based todo list manager that provides core task management functionality. The
+application features:
+
+- **Task Management**: Add, edit, complete, and delete individual todos
+- **Bulk Operations**: Mark all todos as complete/incomplete and clear all completed todos
+- **Filtering**: View todos by All, Active, or Completed status
+- **URL Routing**: Support for direct navigation to filtered views via URLs
+- **Counter Display**: Real-time count of active (incomplete) todos
+- **Persistence**: State maintained during session (browser refresh behavior not tested)
+
+## Test Scenarios
+
+### 1. Adding New Todos
+
+**Seed:** `tests/seed.spec.ts`
+
+#### 1.1 Add Valid Todo
+**Steps:**
+1. Click in the "What needs to be done?" input field
+2. Type "Buy groceries"
+3. Press Enter key
+
+**Expected Results:**
+- Todo appears in the list with unchecked checkbox
+- Counter shows "1 item left"
+- Input field is cleared and ready for next entry
+- Todo list controls become visible (Mark all as complete checkbox)
+
+#### 1.2
+...
+</example-spec>
+
+**Quality Standards**:
+- Write steps that are specific enough for any tester to follow
+- Include negative testing scenarios
+- Ensure scenarios are independent and can be run in any order
+
+**Output Format**: Always save the complete test plan as a markdown file with clear headings, numbered steps, and
+professional formatting suitable for sharing with development and QA teams.

+
+You are the Playwright Test Healer, an expert test automation engineer specializing in debugging and
+resolving Playwright test failures. Your mission is to systematically identify, diagnose, and fix
+broken Playwright tests using a methodical approach.
+
+Your workflow:
+1. **Initial Execution**: Run all tests using playwright_test_run_test tool to identify failing tests
+2. **Debug failed tests**: For each failing test run playwright_test_debug_test.
+3. **Error Investigation**: When the test pauses on errors, use available Playwright MCP tools to:
+   - Examine the error details
+   - Capture page snapshot to understand the context
+   - Analyze selectors, timing issues, or assertion failures
+4. **Root Cause Analysis**: Determine the underlying cause of the failure by examining:
+   - Element selectors that may have changed
+   - Timing and synchronization issues
+   - Data dependencies or test environment problems
+   - Application changes that broke test assumptions
+5. **Code Remediation**: Edit the test code to address identified issues, focusing on:
+   - Updating selectors to match current application state
+   - Fixing assertions and expected values
+   - Improving test reliability and maintainability
+   - For inherently dynamic data, utilize regular expressions to produce resilient locators
+6. **Verification**: Restart the test after each fix to validate the changes
+7. **Iteration**: Repeat the investigation and fixing process until the test passes cleanly
+
+Key principles:
+- Be systematic and thorough in your debugging approach
+- Document your findings and reasoning for each fix
+- Prefer robust, maintainable solutions over quick hacks
+- Use Playwright best practices for reliable test automation
+- If multiple errors exist, fix them one at a time and retest
+- Provide clear explanations of what was broken and how you fixed it
+- You will continue this process until the test runs successfully without any failures or errors.
+- If the error persists and you have high level of confidence that the test is correct, mark this test as test.fixme()
+  so that it is skipped during the execution. Add a comment before the failing step explaining what is happening instead
+  of the expected behavior.
+- Do not ask user questions, you are not interactive tool, do the most reasonable thing possible to pass the test.
+- Never wait for networkidle or use other discouraged or deprecated apis

+# Quickstart Guide for Inactive Sessions Purging, Form Data Persistence, and Centralized Snackbars
+
+This guide provides instructions to quickly set up, configure, and verify the new features.
+
+## 1. Configure Session Inactivity Timeout
+
+The session inactivity timeout is controlled by an environment variable. To configure it:
+
+1.  Locate your backend service's environment configuration (e.g., `.env` file, Docker Compose environment variables).
+2.  Add or modify the `SESSION_TIMEOUT_MINUTES` variable with your desired timeout in minutes. For example:
+    ```
+    SESSION_TIMEOUT_MINUTES=5
+    ```
+    (This will set the timeout to 5 minutes.)
+3.  Restart your backend service for the changes to take effect.
+
+## 2. Verify Form Data Persistence
+
+To test the real-time form data persistence:
+
+1.  Navigate to a page containing a form (e.g., a user profile edit page, a new entry form).
+2.  Start typing values into the form fields but DO NOT submit the form.
+3.  Open a new browser tab or window and navigate to a different page within the application, or simply close the current tab without submitting.
+4.  Return to the original form page (or reopen the tab).
+5.  **Expected Result**: The values you typed previously should be pre-filled in the form fields.
+6.  To verify clearing on submission: Fill out a form and submit it successfully. Then, try to return to that form page. The fields should now be empty.
+
+## 3. Observe Snackbar Display
+
+To verify the consistent display of snackbar notifications:
+
+1.  Perform various actions within the application that trigger snackbar notifications (e.g., successful form submission, an error message, a confirmation).
+2.  **Expected Result**: All snackbar notifications should consistently appear in the top right corner of the screen, aligned with the page heading.
+3.  Trigger multiple snackbars in quick succession to observe their stacking/queueing behavior.
+
+## 4. Test WebSocket Failure Indication
+
+To test the visual indication for WebSocket communication failure:
+
+1.  Navigate to a page with a form that uses real-time persistence.
+2.  While typing in the form, intentionally disconnect the WebSocket connection (e.g., by stopping the backend service or using browser developer tools to block WebSocket traffic).
+3.  **Expected Result**: A subtle, non-intrusive visual indicator should appear near the form, informing the user that real-time persistence is not active.

+# Feature Specification: Inactive Sessions Purging, Form Data Persistence, and Centralized Snackbars
+
+**Feature Branch**: `009-inactive-sessions-purging`  
+**Created**: четверг, 16 октября 2025 г.  
+**Status**: Draft  
+**Input**: User description: "Inactive sessions purging. 1. The inactive session must be purged on timeout that I state as ENV variable in minutes. 2. Prevent user from losing input values when leaving a page with filled unsumbitted form: save them to session via websockets immidiately on change. 3. All the snackbars must be displayed in one place - top right corner, aligned with the page heading."
+
+## User Scenarios & Testing *(mandatory)*
+
+### User Story 1 - System purges inactive sessions (Priority: P1)
+
+As a system administrator, I want inactive user sessions to be automatically purged after a configurable timeout, so that system resources are optimized and security risks from stale sessions are minimized.
+
+**Why this priority**: This directly addresses system resource management and security, which are critical for application stability and integrity.
+
+**Independent Test**: The system can be tested by setting a short timeout, initiating a session, letting it become inactive, and verifying that the session is terminated and resources are freed.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** a session timeout is configured via an environment variable (e.g., `SESSION_TIMEOUT_MINUTES=5`), **When** a user session remains inactive for longer than the configured timeout, **Then** the system automatically purges the inactive session.
+2. **Given** an active user session, **When** the user performs an action within the configured timeout, **Then** the session remains active and is not purged.
+
+---
+
+### User Story 2 - User input values are persisted across navigation (Priority: P1)
+
+As a user, I want my unsubmitted form input values to be automatically saved to my session as I type, so that I don't lose my work if I accidentally navigate away from a page or my browser crashes.
+
+**Why this priority**: This significantly improves user experience by preventing data loss, which is a common frustration point.
+
+**Independent Test**: A user can fill out a form, navigate away, and then return to the form to verify that the input values are still present.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** a user is filling out a form with input fields, **When** the user types into an input field, **Then** the value of that input field is immediately saved to the user's session via WebSocket.
+2. **Given** a user has entered values into an unsubmitted form and then navigates to another page, **When** the user returns to the original form page, **Then** the previously entered values are pre-filled in the form fields.
+3. **Given** a user has entered values into an unsubmitted form, **When** the user explicitly submits the form, **Then** the saved session data for that form is cleared.
+
+---
+
+### User Story 3 - Snackbars are consistently displayed (Priority: P2)
+
+As a user, I want all system notifications (snackbars) to appear in a consistent location (top right corner, aligned with page heading), so that I can easily locate and dismiss them without disrupting my workflow.
+
+**Why this priority**: This enhances user experience by providing a predictable and non-intrusive notification system.
+
+**Independent Test**: Various system actions that trigger snackbars can be performed, and the display location and alignment of each snackbar can be visually verified.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** any system action triggers a snackbar notification, **When** the snackbar is displayed, **Then** it appears in the top right corner of the screen.
+2. **Given** a snackbar is displayed in the top right corner, **When** the page heading is present, **Then** the snackbar is visually aligned with the page heading.
+3. **Given** multiple snackbars are triggered in quick succession, **When** they are displayed, **Then** they stack or queue in the top right corner without overlapping other critical UI elements.
+
+---
+
+### Edge Cases
+
+- What happens if the WebSocket connection is interrupted while a user is typing in a form? (Data loss for unsaved changes)
+- How does the system handle a very short session timeout, potentially purging active users? (Should be prevented by activity checks)
+- What if a user has multiple forms open simultaneously? (Each form's data should be saved independently)
+- What if a snackbar message is very long? (Should wrap or truncate gracefully)
+
+## Requirements *(mandatory)*
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+- **FR-001**: The system MUST automatically purge user sessions that have been inactive for a configurable duration.
+- **FR-002**: The session inactivity timeout MUST be configurable via an environment variable, specified in minutes.
+- **FR-003**: The system MUST save unsubmitted form input values to the user's session immediately upon change.
+- **FR-004**: Form input value persistence MUST utilize WebSocket communication for real-time updates.
+- **FR-005**: The system MUST clear persisted form input values from the session upon successful form submission.
+- **FR-006**: All system-generated snackbar notifications MUST be displayed in the top right corner of the user interface.
+- **FR-007**: Snackbar notifications MUST be visually aligned with the main page heading when present.
+- **FR-008**: Persisted form input values MUST be automatically cleared from the session when the user's session ends.
+- **FR-009**: Persisted form input values MUST rely on existing session security for protection, without additional encryption or masking.
+- **FR-010**: The system MUST provide a subtle, non-intrusive visual indicator near the form if WebSocket communication for form data persistence fails.
+- **FR-011**: Concurrent modifications to the same form field from different browser tabs/windows by the same user MUST be resolved using a "last write wins" strategy.
+
+### Key Entities
+
+- **Session**: Represents a user's active interaction with the application, containing user-specific data including persisted form inputs.
+- **Form Input**: Individual data fields within an unsubmitted form that require persistence.
+- **Snackbar Notification**: A transient, non-intrusive message displayed to the user.
+
+## Clarifications
+
+### Session 2025-10-16
+
+- Q: When should persisted form input data be automatically cleared from the session if the form is never submitted? → A: When the user's session ends
+- Q: What level of data protection (e.g., encryption) is required for the persisted form input values stored in the session? → A: No specific protection beyond session security
+- Q: What is the expected maximum number of concurrent active user sessions? → A: 100
+- Q: How should the system visually indicate to the user if WebSocket communication for form data persistence fails? → A: A subtle, non-intrusive indicator near the form
+- Q: How should concurrent modifications to the same form field from different browser tabs/windows by the same user be handled? → A: Last write wins
+
+## Success Criteria *(mandatory)*
+
+### Measurable Outcomes
+
+- **SC-001**: System resource utilization (CPU, memory) for inactive sessions is reduced by at least 20% within 24 hours of deploying the session purging feature.
+- **SC-002**: The rate of user-reported data loss due to accidental navigation or browser crashes on unsubmitted forms decreases by 90% within one month of deployment.
+- **SC-003**: 100% of snackbar notifications appear in the top right corner of the UI, aligned with the page heading, across all supported browsers and devices.
+- **SC-004**: The average time a user spends re-entering lost form data is reduced to effectively zero.
+- **SC-005**: The system MUST maintain performance and stability for up to 100 concurrent active user sessions.

+
+## Dependencies
+
+- Phase 1 (Setup) -> Phase 2 (Foundational)
+- Phase 2 (Foundational) -> Phase 3 (US1)
+- Phase 2 (Foundational) -> Phase 4 (US2)
+- Phase 2 (Foundational) -> Phase 5 (US3)
+- Phase 3, 4, 5 -> Phase 6 (Polish)
+
+## Parallel Execution Examples
+
+- **User Story 2 (Form Persistence)**: Tasks T009-T016 can be worked on in parallel by different developers, as they cover distinct backend and frontend components. For example, one developer can work on backend WebSocket handlers (T009, T010) while another works on frontend form components (T013, T014).
+- **User Story 3 (Snackbars)**: Tasks T018-T020 can be developed independently of other features once the foundational setup is complete.
+
+## Implementation Strategy
+
+This feature will be implemented using an MVP-first approach, delivering value incrementally:
+
+1.  **MVP**: Focus on User Story 1 (System purges inactive sessions) and User Story 3 (Snackbars are consistently displayed). This provides core system maintenance and a better user notification experience.
+2.  **Next Increment**: Implement User Story 2 (User input values are persisted across navigation), which significantly enhances user experience.
+3.  **Final Phase**: Address polish and cross-cutting concerns, including comprehensive error handling, documentation, and performance optimization.

+# Feature Specification: Port the app to Ruby on Rails
+
+**Feature Branch**: `010-port-the-app`  
+**Created**: 2025-10-17  
+**Status**: Draft  
+**Input**: User description: "Port the app to Ruby on Rails, still run it in Docker"
+
+## User Scenarios & Testing *(mandatory)*
+
+### User Story 1 - Continued Application Functionality (Priority: P1)
+
+Users can continue to access and use all existing features of the application without interruption or change in behavior after the port to Ruby on Rails.
+
+**Why this priority**: This is the primary goal of the porting effort – to ensure business continuity and user satisfaction by maintaining all current functionalities.
+
+**Independent Test**: Can be fully tested by verifying all existing end-to-end user flows and features function correctly.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1.  **Given** the application is ported to Ruby on Rails and deployed, **When** a user accesses any existing feature, **Then** the feature functions identically to its pre-port state.
+2.  **Given** the application is ported to Ruby on Rails and deployed, **When** a user performs a critical action (e.g., creating a session, submitting desires), **Then** the action completes successfully and data is persisted correctly.
+
+### Edge Cases
+
+-   What happens if existing data migration fails or results in data corruption?
+-   How does the system handle increased load or traffic during and immediately after the porting process?
+-   What if certain functionalities or external integrations cannot be directly replicated or have different behaviors in Ruby on Rails?
+-   How are environment variables and secrets managed in the new Dockerized Ruby on Rails environment?
+
+## Requirements *(mandatory)*
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+-   **FR-001**: The ported application MUST provide all existing functionalities available in the current version.
+    **FR-002**: The ported application MUST be deployable and runnable within a containerized environment.
+-   **FR-003**: The ported application MUST utilize Ruby on Rails as its primary backend framework.
+-   **FR-004**: Existing application data MUST be migrated to be compatible with the Ruby on Rails application's data model.
+-   **FR-005**: The ported application MUST maintain its current API endpoints, their request/response formats, and expected behaviors.
+    **FR-006**: The ported application MUST support existing real-time communication functionality.
+    **FR-007**: The ported application MUST integrate with existing external services as before.
+
+### Key Entities *(include if feature involves data)*
+
+-   **User**: Represents an individual using the application, with associated authentication and session data.
+-   **Session**: Represents an active user session, containing encrypted session-specific data.
+-   **Desire**: Represents a user's input or preference, processed and stored by the application.
+
+## Success Criteria *(mandatory)*
+
+### Measurable Outcomes
+
+    **SC-001**: All existing end-to-end tests pass with the ported application, demonstrating functional parity.
+-   **SC-002**: The application's average response time for critical API endpoints remains within 10% of its pre-port performance, as measured by load testing.
+-   **SC-003**: 100% of existing user and session data is successfully migrated and accessible by the Ruby on Rails application without data loss or corruption.
+    **SC-004**: The ported application successfully builds, deploys, and runs in a containerized environment without runtime errors or unexpected restarts.
+-   **SC-005**: User feedback regarding application performance and functionality remains neutral or positive post-port, as measured by user surveys or support tickets.

-# End-to-End (E2E) Test Plan
-
-**Feature**: Anonymous Desire Aggregator
-**Date**: 2025-10-09
-
-This document outlines the manual test plan for verifying the end-to-end functionality of the application.
-
-## Test Environment
-
-- **Frontend**: `http://localhost:3000`
-- **Backend**: `http://localhost:8000`
-- **Browser**: Google Chrome (or any modern browser)
-- **Tools**: Browser's Developer Tools (for inspecting Local Storage and network requests)
-
-## Test Cases
-
-### Test Case 1: Happy Path - Full Session Lifecycle
-
-**Objective**: Verify a complete, successful session from creation to result display with multiple participants.
-
-**Steps**:
-
-1.  **Participant 1 (Creator): Create Session**
-    - Open a browser and navigate to `http://localhost:3000`.
-    - In the "Topic" field, enter "Team Lunch".
-    - In the "Number of Participants" field, enter "3".
-    - Click "Create Session".
-    - **Expected**: The user is redirected to a new URL (e.g., `/session/some-uuid`). The session ID should be visible in the URL.
-    - Copy the session URL.
-
-2.  **Participants 2 & 3: Join Session**
-    - Open two new browser windows (or incognito tabs) and paste the session URL into each.
-    - **Expected**: All three browser windows should now show the "Waiting for 3 more participants..." message, which should update as each new participant joins.
-
-3.  **All Participants: Submit Desires**
-    - **Participant 1**:
-        - Wants: "Pizza"
-        - Accepts: "Sushi", "Salad"
-        - No-Goes: "Burgers"
-        - Click "Submit".
-    - **Participant 2**:
-        - Wants: "Sushi"
-        - Accepts: "Pizza", "Tacos"
-        - No-Goes: "Salad"
-        - Click "Submit".
-    - **Participant 3**:
-        - Wants: "Pizza"
-        - Accepts: "Tacos"
-        - No-Goes: "Sushi"
-        - Click "Submit".
-    - **Expected**: As each participant submits, the "Waiting for..." message should update. After the final submission, the creator's view should show a button to "Analyze Desires".
-
-4.  **Participant 1 (Creator): Trigger Analysis**
-    - Click the "Analyze Desires" button.
-    - **Expected**: A loading indicator should appear. After a few moments, all three browser windows should display the same results.
-
-5.  **All Participants: Verify Results**
-    - **Expected Results (example)**:
-        - **Go-to**: "Pizza"
-        - **Also good**: "Tacos"
-        - **Considerable**: "Salad"
-        - **No-goes**: "Burgers", "Sushi"
-    - **Expected**: The "Considerable" section should be collapsed by default. Clicking it should expand to show the items.
-
-### Test Case 2: Edge Case - Participant Leaves and Rejoins
-
-**Objective**: Verify that the session state remains consistent if a participant disconnects and reconnects.
-
-**Steps**:
-
-1.  Follow steps 1 and 2 from Test Case 1.
-2.  Close the browser window for Participant 2.
-3.  Re-open the session URL in a new window for Participant 2.
-4.  **Expected**: The session should still show 3 participants, and the "Waiting for..." message should be accurate. The session should proceed normally when all desires are submitted.
-
-### Test Case 3: Error Condition - Invalid Session ID
-
-**Objective**: Verify the application handles invalid session URLs gracefully.
-
-**Steps**:
-
-1.  Navigate to a non-existent session URL (e.g., `http://localhost:3000/session/invalid-uuid`).
-2.  **Expected**: The user should be shown a "Session not found" error message and be redirected to the home page to create a new session.
