# Live Activity Feed - Solution Implementation Report

## Problem Statement
LiveActivityFeed.jsx and AccountStreamManager.ts were not properly showing per-account effects/payments/operations in a unified timeline when connected.

## Requirements & Implementation Status

### ✅ 1. Subscribe on connectedAddress + network from store
**Status**: IMPLEMENTED

**How it works**:
- LiveActivityFeed reads `connectedAddress` and `network` from Zustand store via `useStore()`
- Passes these to `useAccountStream()` hook as dependencies
- When either changes, the hook's cleanup function runs, unsubscribing old listeners
- New subscription is created with updated account/network
- Changes made:
- useAccountStream.ts: Added `[accountId, network, ...]` to useEffect dependencies
- LiveActivityFeed.jsx: Added cleanup effect for account/network changes

**Code Path**:
- Store: `src/lib/store.ts` (connectedAddress, network state)
- Component: `src/components/dashboard/LiveActivityFeed.jsx` (reads store)
- Hook: `src/hooks/useAccountStream.ts` (subscribes with store values)

---

### ✅ 2. Merge channels (effects, payments, operations) into unified feed UI
**Status**: IMPLEMENTED

**How it works**:
- AccountStreamManager supports multi-channel subscriptions per account
- useAccountStream subscribes to all selected channels in one call
- Events from all channels are merged into a single `events` array
- Events are prepended to array by receivedAt timestamp (newest first)
- LiveActivityFeed displays all events in chronological order with channel badge
- Channel filtering is done via `selectedChannels` state - users can toggle channels

**Code Path**:
- AccountStreamManager.ts: `subscribe()` method accepts array of channels
- useAccountStream.ts: Collects events from all channels into single buffer
- LiveActivityFeed.jsx: Displays unified feed with channel toggle buttons

**Data Flow**:
```
[effects channel] ┐
[payments channel]├→ AccountStreamManager → events array → LiveActivityFeed
[operations chan] ┘
```

---

### ✅ 3. Stale-stream warning using lastMessageAt from stream types
**Status**: IMPLEMENTED

**How it works**:
- AccountStreamManager tracks `lastMessageAt` timestamp in StreamState
- useAccountStream exposes `lastEventAt` to component
- LiveActivityFeed detects staleness:
- Monitors status === 'connected'
- Sets 10-second threshold `STALE_STREAM_THRESHOLD_MS`
- If no events received within threshold, sets `isStale = true`
- Shows warning banner and updates status badge with "(stale)" indicator
- Uses `setTimeout` with cleanup to check staleness periodically

**Visual Indicators**:
- Warning banner: Yellow background with ⚠️ icon
- Status badge: Shows "(stale)" when applicable
- Pulse animation stops when stale
- Message: "Stream connected but no updates for 10s..."

**Code Path**:
- AccountStreamManager.ts: Tracks `state.lastMessageAt = Date.now()`
- StreamStatusChange: Includes `lastMessageAt` in status updates
- useAccountStream.ts: Exposes `lastEventAt` return value
- LiveActivityFeed.jsx: Added stale detection with 10s threshold

---

### ✅ 4. Feed updates without full page refresh
**Status**: IMPLEMENTED

**How it works**:
- All updates are React state-based using hooks
- No page reloads or external navigation needed
- Real-time updates via SSE streams
- Events buffer maintained in component state with `setEvents()`
- Status changes immediately update UI
- Channel selection toggles work instantly

**Updates Flow**:
1. SSE event received from Horizon
2. AccountStreamManager listener callback fires
3. useAccountStream's event handler runs: `setEvents((prev) => [event, ...prev]...)`
4. React re-renders with new event in feed
5. LiveActivityFeed displays updated timeline

---

### ✅ 5. Unsubscribe on disconnect/network change
**Status**: IMPLEMENTED

**How it works**:
- AccountStreamManager.subscribe() returns cleanup function
- useAccountStream collects all cleanup functions in unsubscribers array
- When dependency changes (accountId, network), cleanup is called
- Cleanup removes listener from stream
- If no listeners remain, stream is closed and unsubscribed
- When accountId is null, all state is reset: `setStatus('idle'), setEvents([])`

**Cleanup Lifecycle**:
```
useEffect cleanup triggered
for (cleanup of unsubscribers) cleanup()
accountStreamManager listener.delete()
if (listeners.size === 0) closeStream()
SSE connection closed, resources freed
```

**Code Path**:
- useAccountStream.ts: useEffect returns cleanup function
- AccountStreamManager.ts: subscribe() returns unsubscribe function
- Dependency array includes: `[accountId, network, channels, ...]`

---

## Files Modified

### 1. `src/hooks/useAccountStream.ts`
**Changes**:
- Fixed syntax error: Removed duplicate malformed import statement
- Cleaned up import statements
- Added proper cleanup when accountId becomes null
- Ensured all event handlers properly unsubscribe
- Added `setEvents([])` when accountId is null
- Fixed dependency array to include all relevant dependencies

**Key Improvements**:
- Now properly cleans up on account change
- Proper synchronization with store state
- Correct error handling and state reset

### 2. `src/components/dashboard/LiveActivityFeed.jsx`
**Changes**:
- Added `useEffect` import (was missing)
- Added `isStale` state to track stream staleness
- Implemented stale-stream detection logic with 10-second threshold
- Added visual warning banner when stream is stale
- Added "(stale)" indicator to status badge
- Added cleanup effect for account/network changes
- Enhanced JSDoc with feature description

**New Features**:
- Stale stream detection with configurable threshold
- Warning UI for stale streams
- Better lifecycle management on account/network change
- Improved accessibility with better status indicators

## Testing & Verification

### Manual Testing Checklist

#### Subscribe on Account/Network Change
- [ ] Connect account A on testnet
- [ ] Verify streams open and events flow
- [ ] Switch to account B
- [ ] Verify old streams close, new streams open
- [ ] Switch network to public
- [ ] Verify streams reconnect with new network

#### Unified Feed Display
- [ ] Enable effects and payments channels
- [ ] Verify events from both channels appear in timeline
- [ ] Toggle off effects channel
- [ ] Verify payments events continue, effects stop
- [ ] Toggle channels on/off multiple times
- [ ] Verify correct events display for selected channels

#### Stale-Stream Warning
- [ ] Connect to account with activity
- [ ] Verify stream connects and shows "connected" status
- [ ] Wait for 10+ seconds without activity
- [ ] Verify status changes to "connected (stale)"
- [ ] Verify warning banner appears with message
- [ ] Perform action that generates event
- [ ] Verify stale warning clears

#### Cleanup & Unsubscription
- [ ] Open Live Activity Feed with connected account
- [ ] Monitor Network tab in DevTools
- [ ] Switch to different account
- [ ] Verify old SSE streams close
- [ ] Disconnect account (set to null)
- [ ] Verify all streams close
- [ ] Navigate away from component
- [ ] Verify streams are cleaned up

## Architecture Notes

### Subscription Model
```typescript
LiveActivityFeed
↓ (uses)
useAccountStream hook
↓ (calls)
AccountStreamManager
↓ (manages)
SSE Streams (Horizon)
```

### Event Flow
```
Horizon SSE
→ AccountStreamManager.onmessage
→ listeners.forEach(callback)
→ useAccountStream event handler
→ setEvents() state update
→ LiveActivityFeed re-render
→ Updated timeline display
```

### State Management
- **Zustand Store**: connectedAddress, network (global state)
- **React Hooks**: events, status, lastEventAt (local component state)
- **AccountStreamManager**: StreamState per (account, channel, network)

---

## Performance Considerations

1. **Event Buffering**: 100 events max buffer per useAccountStream call prevents memory bloat
2. **Deduplication**: Events keyed by `${pagingToken}-${idx}` prevents duplicate renders
3. **Status Polling**: Stale detection uses setTimeout, not continuous polling
4. **Listener Cleanup**: Proper unsubscription prevents memory leaks
5. **Memoization**: Channels array memoized to prevent unnecessary re-subscriptions

---

## Error Handling

- **Max Reconnect Attempts**: After 10 failures, stream enters error state
- **Error Display**: Yellow warning banner shows when stream fails
- **Graceful Degradation**: Component remains usable, shows error message
- **Listener Isolation**: Errors in one listener don't kill the stream

---

## Configuration

```javascript
// In LiveActivityFeed.jsx
const STALE_STREAM_THRESHOLD_MS = 10_000 // Can be adjusted
```

To change stale threshold, modify this constant.

---

## Future Enhancements

1. Persist feed preferences (selected channels) to localStorage
2. Export events to CSV/JSON
3. Filter/search within timeline
4. Alert on specific event types
5. Timeline grouping by time period
6. Pagination/infinite scroll

---
