   - Use existing mobile component patterns (GlassCard, MobileContainer)

2. **Settings State Management Integration**
   - Extend Zustand store for settings persistence
   - Add settings-specific hooks for mobile
   - Integrate with existing unit preferences system

3. **Mobile Bottom Navigation Integration**

- ✅ Account management functions work on mobile

### Files to Modify/Create
- `frontend/src/features/settings/mobile/MobileSettingsScreen.tsx` (new)
- `frontend/src/App.tsx` (replace placeholder SettingsScreen)
- `frontend/src/core/store/index.ts` (extend for settings)
- `frontend/src/shared-minimal/components/mobile/BottomNavigation.tsx` (update)

## Phase 2: Navigation & State Consistency (Priority 2)

### Objective
Fix mobile navigation state resets and improve data persistence across screen transitions.

### Timeline Estimate
2-3 days

### Tasks
1. **Enhanced Mobile State Persistence**
   - Persist mobile navigation state (`activeScreen`, `selectedVehicle`)
   - Maintain form state across navigation
   - Implement mobile back button navigation history

2. **Navigation Context Unification**
   - Create consistent navigation state management
   - Fix state reset issues during screen transitions
   - Preserve user selections during navigation

3. **User Context Persistence**
   - Persist user context to avoid re-authentication overhead
   - Maintain user preferences across app restarts
   - Implement graceful auth state recovery

### Success Criteria
- ✅ Mobile navigation maintains selected vehicle context
- ✅ Form state preserved during navigation
- ✅ User preferences persist across app restarts
- ✅ Back button navigation works correctly on mobile
- ✅ No context loss during screen transitions

### Files to Modify
- `frontend/src/App.tsx` (navigation state management)
- `frontend/src/core/store/index.ts` (enhanced persistence)
- `frontend/src/features/vehicles/mobile/VehiclesMobileScreen.tsx` (state preservation)

## Phase 3: Token & Data Flow Optimization (Priority 3)

### Objective
Enhance token management and optimize data flow for better mobile experience.

### Timeline Estimate
1-2 days

### Tasks
1. **Enhanced Token Management**
   - Implement token refresh retry logic for 401 responses
   - Add error boundaries for token acquisition failures
   - Optimize mobile token warm-up timing beyond current 100ms

2. **Data Flow Improvements**
   - Review React Query cache invalidation patterns
   - Implement background token refresh to prevent expiration
   - Add offline data persistence for mobile scenarios

3. **Mobile Network Optimization**
   - Enhance retry mechanisms for poor mobile connectivity
   - Add progressive loading states for mobile
   - Implement smart caching for offline scenarios

### Success Criteria
- ✅ Token refresh failures automatically retry
- ✅ No token expiration issues during extended mobile use
- ✅ Optimized cache invalidation reduces unnecessary refetches
- ✅ Better mobile network error handling
- ✅ Offline data persistence for mobile users

### Files to Modify
- `frontend/src/core/auth/Auth0Provider.tsx` (enhanced token management)
- `frontend/src/core/api/client.ts` (401 retry logic)
- `frontend/src/main.tsx` (React Query optimization)

## Phase 4: UX Consistency & Enhancement (Priority 4)

### Objective
Ensure platform parity and consider progressive enhancements for better mobile experience.

### Timeline Estimate
2-3 days

### Tasks
1. **Platform Parity Verification**
   - Audit all desktop features for mobile equivalents
   - Implement any missing mobile functionality
   - Ensure consistent UX patterns across platforms

2. **Navigation Architecture Review**
   - Consider hybrid approach maintaining URL routing with mobile state management
   - Evaluate progressive enhancement opportunities
   - Assess responsive design migration feasibility

3. **Progressive Enhancement**
   - Add PWA features for mobile experience
   - Implement mobile-specific optimizations
   - Consider offline-first functionality

### Success Criteria
- ✅ All desktop features have mobile equivalents
- ✅ Consistent UX patterns across platforms
- ✅ Mobile-specific enhancements implemented
- ✅ PWA features functional
- ✅ Offline capabilities where appropriate

### Files to Modify/Create
- Various feature components for parity
- PWA configuration files
- Service worker implementation
- Mobile-specific optimization components

## Implementation Guidelines

### Development Approach
1. **Mobile-First**: Maintain mobile-optimized approach while fixing gaps
2. **Incremental**: Implement improvements without breaking existing functionality
3. **Feature Parity**: Ensure every desktop feature has mobile equivalent
4. **Testing**: Test all changes on both platforms per project requirements

### Code Standards
- Follow existing mobile component patterns in `frontend/src/shared-minimal/components/mobile/`
- Use GlassCard, MobileContainer, and MobilePill for consistent mobile UI
- Maintain TypeScript types and interfaces
- Follow existing state management patterns with Zustand
- Preserve Auth0 authentication patterns

### Testing Requirements
- Test every change on both mobile and desktop
- Verify authentication flows work on both platforms
- Validate state persistence across navigation
- Test offline scenarios on mobile
- Verify token management improvements

## Dependencies & Prerequisites

### Required Knowledge
- Understanding of existing mobile component architecture
- Auth0 integration patterns
- React Query and Zustand state management
- Mobile-first responsive design principles

### External Dependencies
- No new external dependencies required
- All improvements use existing libraries and patterns
- Leverages current Auth0, React Query, and Zustand setup

### Environment Requirements
- Mobile testing environment (physical device or emulator)
- Desktop testing environment
- Local development environment with Docker containers

## Risk Mitigation

### Breaking Changes
- All phases designed to maintain backward compatibility
- Incremental implementation allows rollback at any point
- Existing functionality preserved during improvements

### Testing Strategy
- Phase-by-phase testing prevents cascading issues
- Mobile + desktop testing at each phase
- Authentication flow validation at each step
- State management verification throughout

### Rollback Plan
- Each phase can be reverted independently
- Git branching strategy allows easy rollback
- Feature flags could be implemented for gradual rollout

## Success Metrics

### Phase 1 Success
- Mobile settings screen fully functional
- Feature parity achieved between mobile and desktop settings
- No regression in existing functionality

### Phase 2 Success
- Mobile navigation maintains context consistently
- No state reset issues during navigation
- User preferences persist across sessions

### Phase 3 Success
- Token management robust across network conditions
- No authentication issues during extended mobile use
- Optimized data flow reduces unnecessary API calls

### Phase 4 Success
- Complete platform parity achieved
- Enhanced mobile experience with PWA features
- Consistent UX patterns across all platforms

This implementation plan provides a structured approach to achieving comprehensive mobile optimization while maintaining the robust existing architecture.
