**4. CORE FEATURES & USER FLOW:**

**A. User Authentication (NextAuth.js):**
   - **Flow:** Users can sign up using email/password or OAuth (Google, GitHub). Upon successful sign-up/login, a session is created. Protected routes redirect unauthenticated users to the login page.
   - **Pages:** `/auth/signin`, `/auth/signup`, `/auth/reset-password`
   - **Components:** Sign-in Form, Sign-up Form, OAuth Buttons.
   - **Edge Cases:** Invalid credentials, account lockout, password reset flow, email verification.

**B. Onboarding & Market Selection:**
   - **Flow:** First-time logged-in users are prompted to select their preferred supermarket(s). The app fetches available supermarkets from the `supermarkets` table. Users can select one or more.
   - **Components:** `MarketSelectionModal`, `MarketCard`.
   - **Edge Cases:** No supermarkets available, user skips selection.

**C. Product Browsing & Search:**
   - **Flow:** Users can browse products from their selected supermarket(s) or search using keywords. Search results display product image, name, price, and unit. Users can add products to their cart or to their favorites list.
   - **API:** `/api/products?search=<query>&supermarket=<id>` (GET request to fetch products).
   - **Components:** `ProductSearchInput`, `ProductList`, `ProductCard`, `AddToCartButton`, `AddToFavoritesButton`.
   - **Edge Cases:** No search results, product out of stock, API error.

**D. Favorites Management:**
   - **Flow:** Users can view their list of favorite products. From the favorites page, they can add items to the current cart or remove them from favorites.
   - **API:** `/api/favorites` (GET, POST, DELETE requests).
   - **Components:** `FavoritesList`, `FavoriteItemCard`.
   - **Edge Cases:** Empty favorites list.

**E. Shopping Cart & Checkout:**
   - **Flow:** Users can view their shopping cart, adjust quantities, remove items, and see the subtotal. Proceeding to checkout prompts for delivery details (address, preferred slot) and payment. Upon successful payment confirmation, an order is placed.
   - **API:** `/api/cart` (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE), `/api/orders` (POST for placing order), `/api/payment` (POST for initiating payment).
   - **Components:** `ShoppingCart`, `CartItem`, `CheckoutForm`, `PaymentForm`.
   - **Edge Cases:** Empty cart, item price changes before checkout, payment failure, invalid delivery address.

**F. Order History & Tracking:**
   - **Flow:** Users can view a list of their past orders, including status, date, and total amount. Clicking on an order shows details and itemized list. Real-time status updates (simulated for MVP or via webhook if API supports) are displayed.
   - **API:** `/api/orders` (GET to list orders), `/api/orders/[id]` (GET to fetch specific order details).
   - **Components:** `OrderHistoryList`, `OrderItem`, `OrderDetailView`, `OrderStatusTracker`.
   - **Edge Cases:** No past orders, order status not updating.

**G. REWE API Integration (Placeholder/Mock for MVP):**
   - **Flow:** The backend will have a service responsible for interacting with the REWE API (or a mock API for development). This service will handle fetching product data, pricing, stock information, and potentially placing orders.
   - **Note:** The actual reverse-engineering and mTLS handling are complex. For the MVP, we'll simulate this interaction, assuming successful API responses based on the provided details. The prompt implies the existence of a working, albeit unofficial, API.
   - **Key Functions:** `fetchProducts(query, supermarketId)`, `getProductDetails(productId, supermarketId)`, `placeOrder(orderData, supermarketId)`.

**5. API & DATA FETCHING:**
- **Next.js App Router:** Utilize Server Components for data fetching where possible to improve performance and reduce client-side load. Use Client Components for interactive elements.
- **API Routes:** Define API routes in `app/api/` for handling client-server communication (e.g., `/api/auth/*`, `/api/products`, `/api/cart`, `/api/orders`, `/api/favorites`).
- **Data Fetching Strategy:**
    - Server Components: Fetch data directly using async functions within the component, leveraging Drizzle ORM.
    - Client Components: Use `fetch` or libraries like `swr` or `zustand`'s API integration for client-side data fetching and caching, especially for real-time updates or user-specific interactions.
- **Request/Response:** Standard JSON format. Use Zod for request validation and response shaping.
- **Example API Route (`app/api/products/route.ts`):**
  ```typescript
  // POST /api/products
  // Request Body: { query: string, supermarketId: string }
  // Response Body: { products: Product[], error?: string }
  export async function POST(request: Request) {
      const { query, supermarketId } = await request.json();
      // ... validation ...
      try {
          // Call to REWE API service (or mock)
          const products = await REWEService.searchProducts(query, supermarketId);
          return NextResponse.json({ products });
      } catch (error) {
          return NextResponse.json({ error: 'Failed to fetch products' }, { status: 500 });
      }
  }
  ```
