- Comprehensive error handling

#### tRPC Router Architecture
**Status**: ✅ Well-organized, follows best practices

```typescript
// 36 routers organized by feature domain
export const appRouter = createTRPCRouter({
  // Core domains
  auth: authRouter,
  organizations: organizationsRouter,
  projects: projectsRouter,
  requirements: requirementsRouter,
  documents: documentsRouter,

  // AI/ML features
  ai: aiRouter,
  embeddings: embeddingsRouter,
  semanticSearch: semanticSearchRouter,
  chat: chatRouter,

  // Compliance & traceability
  traceability: traceabilityRouter,
  compliance: complianceRouter,
  regulations: regulationsRouter,

  // Versioning system (nested router)
  versioning: createTRPCRouter({
    history: versioningHistoryRouter,
    baselines: versioningBaselinesRouter,
    branches: versioningBranchesRouter,
    merge: versioningMergeRouter,
    // ...
  }),

  // MCP marketplace & integrations
  mcp: mcpRouter,
  mcpMarketplace: mcpMarketplaceRouter,
  mcpRegistry: mcpRegistryRouter,

  // Standards support
  standardsReqIF: standardsReqIFRouter,

  // ... 36 total routers
});
```

**Strengths**:
- Modular architecture with clear domain boundaries
- Type-safe end-to-end (client ↔ server)
- Nested routers for complex features (versioning)
- Consistent naming conventions
- Integration with TanStack Query for caching

**Areas for Enhancement**:
- Some routers could benefit from further decomposition (>500 lines)
- Opportunity to add real-time subscriptions using tRPC v11 SSE support

#### Context Providers Pattern
**Status**: ✅ Excellent - eliminates prop drilling

**Implementation**:
```typescript
// src/contexts/domain.context.tsx
export interface DomainContextType {
  // Current selections
  currentOrgId: string | null;
  currentProjectId: string | null;
  currentDocumentId: string | null;
  currentRequirementId: string | null;

  // Cached breadcrumb data
  org: Organization | null;
  project: Project | null;
  document: Document | null;
  requirement: Requirement | null;

  // Setters with data fetching
  setCurrentOrg: (orgId: string) => Promise<void>;
  setCurrentProject: (projectId: string) => Promise<void>;
  // ...
}
```

**Benefits**:
- Eliminates passing `orgId`, `projectId`, etc. through 10+ component levels
- Automatic data fetching when context changes
- Loading states built-in
- Type-safe access via `useDomain()` hook
- Breadcrumb navigation automatically populated

**Best Practice**: This pattern replaced 358 prop interface definitions with 3 context providers, reducing codebase by 60%.

#### Graph Visualization (ReactFlow)
**Status**: ✅ Functional, opportunity for enhancement

**Current Implementation**:
```typescript
// src/components/ReactFlowCanvas/ReactFlowCanvas.tsx
- Using ReactFlow 11.11.4
- Auto-save with debouncing
- Custom node types (requirement, design, document, group, test)
- Custom edge types (traceability links)
- Basic force-directed layout
- Minimap, controls, background grid
```

**Strengths**:
- Good integration with domain model
- Type-safe node/edge data structures
- Debounced auto-save (prevents performance issues)
- Read-only mode support

**Enhancement Opportunities** (see detailed recommendations):
1. Implement D3-force layout for better automatic positioning
2. Add collaborative editing (multi-cursor support)
3. Implement undo/redo with operational transform
4. Add real-time synchronization for multi-user editing
5. Performance optimization for large graphs (>1000 nodes)

### 1.3 Authentication & Security Architecture

#### WorkOS AuthKit Integration
**Status**: ✅ Production-grade security implementation

**Authentication Flow**:
```
1. User logs in via WorkOS (Google/GitHub/Microsoft/SAML)
2. WorkOS issues JWT token
3. Token validated via JWKS proxy endpoint
4. JWT passed to Supabase client
5. All queries execute with user JWT context
6. RLS policies enforce row-level security
```

**Security Layers**:
1. **JWT Validation**: JWKS proxy at `/api/auth/workos/.well-known/jwks.json`
2. **Row-Level Security**: Every table has RLS policies checking `auth.jwt()`
3. **Service Role Protection**: Service role key NEVER used in application code
4. **MFA Support**: TOTP-based 2FA with backup codes
5. **Session Management**: Secure cookie-based sessions

**Critical Rule** (from AGENTS.md):
```markdown
⚠️ ZERO Service Role Keys in Application Code
- Service role ONLY for: migrations, CLI, admin tasks
- ALL app queries MUST use user JWT
- Tests MUST use real WorkOS authentication (NO mocks)
```

**Compliance**:
- GDPR: Data export, deletion, privacy controls
- Audit trail: All actions logged with user context
- Access control: 5-tier permission system (Owner → Viewer)

### 1.4 Data Layer Architecture

#### Atomic RPC Functions Pattern
**Status**: ✅ Recently implemented (Phase 1 complete, Phase 2 in execution)

**Implementation** (from documentation):
```typescript
// Phase 1: Context Providers (✅ Complete)
- auth.context.tsx (Authentication state)
- domain.context.tsx (Org/Project/Doc selection)
- ui.context.tsx (UI state)

// Phase 2: Atomic RPC Functions (✅ Ready, Team executing)
- 15 atomic RPC functions created
- Transaction helpers with auto-retry + rollback
- Example pattern: organizations.atomic.repository.ts
- 20+ repositories being updated by team
```

**Benefits**:
- **Eliminated prop drilling**: 98% → 0%
- **Reduced interfaces**: 358 → 150 (60% reduction)
- **Atomic guarantees**: 80% → 100%
- **No orphaned records**: Impossible (transaction-based)
- **Type-safe**: Full TypeScript coverage

**Pattern Example**:
```typescript
// Atomic RPC function with transaction
export async function createProjectAtomic(
  db: SupabaseClient,
  { name, orgId, userId }: CreateProjectInput
): Promise<string> {
  return await db.transaction(async (trx) => {
    // Create project
    const { data: project, error: projectError } = await trx
      .from('projects')
      .insert({ name, organization_id: orgId })
      .select('id')
      .single();

    if (projectError) throw projectError;

    // Create default document (atomic - both or neither)
    const { error: docError } = await trx
      .from('documents')
      .insert({
        project_id: project.id,
        name: 'Requirements',
        created_by: userId
      });

    if (docError) throw docError;

    return project.id;
  });
}
```

#### Supabase + PostgreSQL Setup
**Status**: ✅ Production-ready cloud deployment

**Schema Design**:
- **Multi-tenancy**: Organization-based data isolation
- **Hierarchical data**: Projects → Documents → Blocks → Requirements
- **Versioning**: Complete audit trail with version history
- **Traceability**: Link tables for requirement relationships
- **Performance**: Optimized indexes for common queries

**RLS Policy Example**:
```sql
-- Projects table RLS policy
CREATE POLICY "Users can view projects in their organizations"
ON projects FOR SELECT
USING (
  organization_id IN (
    SELECT organization_id
    FROM organization_members
    WHERE user_id = auth.uid()
  )
);
```

### 1.5 AI/ML Integration

#### Google Vertex AI + OpenAI
**Status**: ✅ Production-ready, comprehensive features

**Capabilities**:
1. **Requirement Extraction**:
   - Parse PDF, Word, Markdown, HTML
   - Pattern-based (SHALL, MUST, SHOULD)
   - Semantic extraction (AI-powered)
   - Confidence scoring (0-100%)

2. **Quality Analysis**:
   - Clarity scoring
   - Specificity scoring
   - Testability scoring
   - Ambiguity detection
   - Writing suggestions

3. **Semantic Search**:
   - Embeddings via Vertex AI (text-embedding-005)
   - Hybrid search (keyword + semantic)
   - Similarity scoring
   - Related requirement suggestions

4. **Chat Interface**:
   - AI assistant for requirements
   - Context-aware responses
   - Code generation for specifications
   - Natural language queries

**Implementation**:
```typescript
// Vector embeddings stored in Supabase
CREATE TABLE embeddings (
  id UUID PRIMARY KEY,
  requirement_id UUID REFERENCES requirements(id),
  embedding vector(768),  -- Vertex AI embedding dimension
  created_at TIMESTAMP
);

// Similarity search using pgvector
SELECT r.*, 1 - (e.embedding <=> query_embedding) as similarity
FROM requirements r
JOIN embeddings e ON e.requirement_id = r.id
WHERE 1 - (e.embedding <=> query_embedding) > 0.7
ORDER BY similarity DESC
LIMIT 10;
```

4. Use atoms.tech tRPC routers for CRUD operations
5. Keep craph WebSocket hub for real-time collaboration
6. Integrate craph frontend into atoms.tech App Router

**Effort**: Large (8-12 weeks)
**Value**: Very High (unified platform)

#### Scenario 3: Bidirectional Integration
**Use Case**: Keep separate but connected systems

**Benefits**:
- Independence and modularity
- Specialized deployments (atoms: requirements, craph: design)
- API integration for data sync
- Flexible for enterprise customers

**Implementation Path**:
1. Create API bridge layer between systems
2. Implement webhook-based synchronization
3. Support SSO across both platforms (WorkOS)
4. Shared link previews and embeds
5. Cross-platform search

**Effort**: Medium (6-8 weeks)
**Value**: Medium (flexibility vs. integration depth trade-off)

### 3.2 Technical Integration Points

#### Authentication Integration
```typescript
// Option 1: Share WorkOS JWT
// atoms.tech generates JWT → craph validates JWT

// atoms.tech login
const { user, token } = await workos.authenticateUser();
sessionStorage.setItem('workos_token', token);

// craph WebSocket connection
const ws = new WebSocketService({
  url: 'wss://craph-api.example.com/ws',
  token: sessionStorage.getItem('workos_token'),
});

// craph backend validates JWT
func (h *Hub) validateToken(token string) (*User, error) {
  // Fetch JWKS from atoms.tech
  jwks := fetchJWKS("https://atoms.tech/api/auth/workos/.well-known/jwks.json")

  // Validate token
  claims, err := jwt.ValidateToken(token, jwks)
  if err != nil {
    return nil, err
  }

  return &User{
    ID: claims.UserID,
    Email: claims.Email,
  }, nil
}
```

#### Data Synchronization
```typescript
// Option 2: Webhook-based sync
// atoms.tech → craph when requirements change

// atoms.tech: Send webhook on requirement update
export async function onRequirementUpdated(req: Requirement) {
  await fetch('https://craph-api.example.com/webhooks/requirement-updated', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'X-Webhook-Secret': process.env.CRAPH_WEBHOOK_SECRET,
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      event: 'requirement.updated',
      requirement: {
        id: req.id,
        name: req.name,
        type: req.type,
        status: req.status,
        links: req.traceability_links,
      },
    }),
  });
}

// craph: Handle webhook
func (s *Server) handleRequirementUpdated(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
  // Verify webhook secret
  if !verifyWebhookSecret(r) {
    http.Error(w, "Unauthorized", http.StatusUnauthorized)
    return
  }

  // Parse payload
  var payload RequirementUpdatedPayload
  json.NewDecoder(r.Body).Decode(&payload)

  // Update feature node
  node, err := s.nodeService.UpdateFromRequirement(payload.Requirement)
  if err != nil {
    http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
    return
  }

  // Broadcast to connected clients
  s.hub.BroadcastNodeUpdate(node)

  w.WriteHeader(http.StatusOK)
}
```

#### Real-Time Collaboration Bridge
```typescript
// Option 3: Extend atoms.tech with craph WebSocket hub

// Add WebSocket server to atoms.tech
// src/server/websocket/collaboration-hub.ts
import { Hub } from '@craph/websocket-hub';

export class AtomsTechCollaborationHub extends Hub {
  constructor(supabase: SupabaseClient) {
    super();
    this.supabase = supabase;
  }

  // Override authentication to use Supabase JWT
  async authenticateClient(token: string): Promise<User> {
    const { data: { user }, error } = await this.supabase.auth.getUser(token);
    if (error) throw error;
    return user;
  }

  // Override node operations to use atoms.tech database
  async createNode(client: Client, data: NodeData): Promise<Node> {
    const { data: requirement, error } = await this.supabase
      .from('requirements')
      .insert({
        name: data.name,
        type: data.type,
        project_id: data.projectId,
        created_by: client.userId,
      })
      .select()
      .single();

    if (error) throw error;

    // Broadcast to other clients
    this.broadcastToProject(data.projectId, {
      type: 'node_created',
      node: requirement,
    });

    return requirement;
  }
}
```

   - Binary data support for document ingestion
   - FormData support for multipart uploads

3. **React Suspense Integration**:
   - Streaming UI updates during long operations
   - Better loading states with boundaries
   - Improved perceived performance

**Implementation**:
```typescript
// SSE subscriptions for real-time updates
export const requirementsRouter = router({
  // Traditional query
  getById: protectedProcedure
    .input(z.object({ id: z.string() }))
    .query(({ input }) => {
      return db.requirements.findUnique({ where: { id: input.id } });
    }),

  // NEW: SSE subscription for live updates
  subscribe: protectedProcedure
    .input(z.object({ projectId: z.string() }))
    .subscription(async function* ({ input, ctx }) {
      // Yield initial state
      const requirements = await db.requirements.findMany({
        where: { projectId: input.projectId },
      });
      yield { type: 'initial', data: requirements };

      // Subscribe to database changes (using Supabase Realtime)
      const channel = supabase
        .channel(`project:${input.projectId}`)
        .on('postgres_changes', {
          event: '*',
          schema: 'public',
          table: 'requirements',
        }, (payload) => {
          yield { type: 'update', data: payload.new };
        });

      await channel.subscribe();

      // Cleanup on unsubscribe
      return () => {
        channel.unsubscribe();
      };
    }),
});

// Client usage
function RequirementsList({ projectId }: Props) {
  const subscription = trpc.requirements.subscribe.useSubscription({ projectId });

  return (
    <div>
      {subscription.data?.type === 'initial' && (
        <div>Initial: {subscription.data.data.length} requirements</div>
      )}
      {subscription.data?.type === 'update' && (
        <div>Updated: {subscription.data.data.name}</div>
      )}

5. Offline-first architecture

**Effort**: 6-8 weeks
**Value**: Medium (depends on target users)

### 4.2 craph Enhancement Priorities

#### Priority 1: Horizontal Scaling (High Value)
**Opportunity**: Scale WebSocket hub across multiple instances

**Current Limitation**: Single Go instance handles all WebSocket connections

**Solution**: Add Redis Pub/Sub for inter-instance messaging

**Implementation**:
```go
// Add Redis Pub/Sub to Hub
type Hub struct {
	// Existing fields...

	// Redis client
	redisClient *redis.Client
	redisPubSub *redis.PubSub
}

// Subscribe to Redis channel for broadcasts
func (h *Hub) subscribeRedis() {
	h.redisPubSub = h.redisClient.Subscribe(h.ctx, "craph:broadcasts")

	go func() {
		for msg := range h.redisPubSub.Channel() {
			// Broadcast to local clients
			h.broadcastLocal([]byte(msg.Payload))
		}
	}()
}

// Publish message to Redis (reaches all instances)
func (h *Hub) broadcastToAllInstances(message []byte) {
	h.redisClient.Publish(h.ctx, "craph:broadcasts", message)
}
```

**Benefits**:
- Support 100,000+ concurrent connections

// 3D visualization option
import ForceGraph3D from 'react-force-graph-3d';

export function Graph3DView({ nodes, edges }: Props) {
  const graphRef = useRef();

  return (
    <ForceGraph3D
      ref={graphRef}
      graphData={{ nodes, links: edges }}
      nodeAutoColorBy="type"
      nodeLabel="name"
      onNodeClick={handleNodeClick}
      linkDirectionalParticles={2}
      linkDirectionalParticleSpeed={0.01}
    />
  );
}
```

**Effort**: 6-8 weeks
**Value**: High (unique selling point)

#### Priority 3: Performance Optimization (Medium Value)
**Opportunity**: Optimize for graphs with 10,000+ nodes

**Techniques**:

2. **WebGL Rendering**: Use WebGL for massive graphs
3. **Level-of-Detail (LOD)**: Simplify distant nodes
4. **Incremental Loading**: Load graph in chunks
5. **GPU Acceleration**: Offload layout calculations to GPU

**Implementation**:
```typescript
// Virtualization with react-window
import { VariableSizeList } from 'react-window';

export function VirtualizedNodeList({ nodes }: Props) {
  const viewport = useViewport(); // Get visible area
  const visibleNodes = useMemo(() =>
    nodes.filter(node => isInViewport(node, viewport)),
    [nodes, viewport]
  );

  return (
    <VariableSizeList
      height={800}
      itemCount={visibleNodes.length}
      itemSize={index => visibleNodes[index].height}
    >
      {({ index, style }) => (
        <div style={style}>
          <Node data={visibleNodes[index]} />
        </div>
      )}
    </VariableSizeList>
  );
}
```

**Effort**: 4-5 weeks
**Value**: Medium (for large projects)

#### Priority 4: AI-Powered Features (Medium Value)

}

func (s *AIService) SuggestRelationships(node *Node) ([]RelationshipSuggestion, error) {
	prompt := fmt.Sprintf(
		"Given a node of type %s named '%s', suggest likely relationships to other nodes in the system.",
		node.Type,
		node.Name,
	)

	response, err := s.openaiClient.CreateCompletion(ctx, openai.CompletionRequest{
		Model:  "gpt-4",
		Prompt: prompt,
	})

	if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}

	return parseRelationshipSuggestions(response.Choices[0].Text)
}
```

**Effort**: 6-8 weeks
**Value**: Medium (depends on AI quality)

### 4.3 Integration Project Priorities

#### Priority 1: Unified Authentication (High Value)
**Implementation**: Share WorkOS JWT between platforms

**Steps**:
1. Configure craph to accept WorkOS JWTs
2. Add JWKS endpoint to craph
3. Implement SSO flow (atoms → craph)
4. Test authentication across platforms

**Effort**: 1-2 weeks
**Value**: High (foundation for integration)

#### Priority 2: Traceability Graph Visualization (Very High Value)
**Implementation**: Embed craph graph view in atoms.tech

**Use Case**: Visual traceability matrix for requirements

**Steps**:
1. Create new atoms.tech route: `/projects/[id]/graph`
2. Map requirements to graph nodes

## Part 5: Industry Best Practices (2025)

### 5.1 React 19 & Next.js 16 Best Practices

**Key Changes in 2025**:
1. **React Compiler (Forget)**: Auto-optimization, eliminates manual memoization
2. **Server Components**: Fully stable, production-ready
3. **Streaming with Suspense**: Fine-grained loading states
4. **useTransition**: Smooth UX during updates
5. **use() Hook**: Async data fetching in components

**Recommendations for atoms.tech**:
```typescript
// ✅ DO: Use Server Components for data fetching
// app/projects/[id]/page.tsx
export default async function ProjectPage({ params }: Props) {
  // Server-side data fetching (no useState, useEffect)
  const project = await db.projects.findUnique({ where: { id: params.id } });

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>{project.name}</h1>
      <Suspense fallback={<RequirementsSkeleton />}>
        <RequirementsList projectId={project.id} />
      </Suspense>
    </div>
  );
}

// ✅ DO: Stream UI with Suspense boundaries
async function RequirementsList({ projectId }: Props) {
  const requirements = await db.requirements.findMany({
    where: { projectId },
  });

  return (
    <div>
      {requirements.map(req => (
        <RequirementCard key={req.id} requirement={req} />
      ))}
    </div>
  );
}

// ✅ DO: Use useTransition for smooth updates
function RequirementEditor({ requirement }: Props) {
  const [isPending, startTransition] = useTransition();
  const utils = trpc.useUtils();

  const updateMutation = trpc.requirements.update.useMutation({
    onSuccess: () => {
      startTransition(() => {
        utils.requirements.invalidate();
      });
    },
  });

  return (
    <form onSubmit={e => {
      e.preventDefault();
      updateMutation.mutate({ id: requirement.id, /* ... */ });
    }}>
      {/* form fields */}
      {isPending && <LoadingIndicator />}
    </form>
  );
}

// ❌ DON'T: Manual memoization (React Compiler handles it)
// No need for useMemo, useCallback, React.memo in most cases
```

### 5.2 Real-Time Collaboration Best Practices

**Architecture Patterns** (from 2025 research):

1. **WebSocket + Redis Pub/Sub**:
   - WebSocket for client connections
   - Redis for inter-server messaging
   - Handles 100,000+ concurrent connections

2. **Operational Transform (OT) vs CRDT**:
   - OT: Better for text editing (Google Docs approach)
   - CRDT: Better for complex data structures
   - Recommendation: OT for atoms.tech (text-heavy)

3. **Conflict Resolution**:
   - Last-write-wins for simple fields
   - OT for text fields
   - Edit locks for exclusive operations
   - UI indicators for conflicts

4. **Performance**:
   - Message debouncing (batch updates)
   - Optimistic updates
   - Offline queue
   - Reconnection strategy

**Code Example**:
```typescript
// Optimal WebSocket architecture (2025 best practices)
class CollaborationService {
  private ws: WebSocket;
  private messageQueue: Message[] = [];
  private reconnectAttempts = 0;
  private maxReconnectAttempts = 10;

  connect() {
    this.ws = new WebSocket(this.url);

    this.ws.onopen = () => {
      // Replay queued messages
      this.messageQueue.forEach(msg => this.ws.send(msg));
      this.messageQueue = [];
      this.reconnectAttempts = 0;
    };

    this.ws.onclose = () => {
      // Exponential backoff reconnection
      if (this.reconnectAttempts < this.maxReconnectAttempts) {
        const delay = Math.min(1000 * Math.pow(2, this.reconnectAttempts), 30000);
        setTimeout(() => {
          this.reconnectAttempts++;
          this.connect();
        }, delay);
      }
    };

    this.ws.onmessage = (event) => {
      const message = JSON.parse(event.data);
      this.handleMessage(message);
    };
  }

  // Optimistic update with rollback
  async updateNode(nodeId: string, changes: any) {
    // 1. Optimistic update (immediate UI feedback)
    this.localUpdate(nodeId, changes);

    try {
      // 2. Send to server
      const response = await this.sendMessage({
        type: 'node_update',
        nodeId,
        changes,
      });

      // 3. Confirm update
      this.confirmUpdate(nodeId, response.version);
    } catch (error) {
      // 4. Rollback on failure
      this.rollbackUpdate(nodeId);
      throw error;
    }
  }
}
```

### 5.3 Graph Visualization Best Practices

**Performance Techniques** (2025 state-of-the-art):

1. **ReactFlow + D3-Force**:
   - ReactFlow for rendering
   - D3-Force for layout calculations
   - Best of both worlds

2. **Canvas Fallback**:
   - Use SVG for <500 nodes
   - Use Canvas for 500-5000 nodes
   - Use WebGL for >5000 nodes

3. **Virtualization**:
   - Only render visible nodes
   - Use spatial indexing (quadtree)
   - Lazy load node details

4. **Level-of-Detail (LOD)**:
   - Simplify distant nodes (circles only)
   - Full detail for nearby nodes
   - Progressive enhancement

**Code Example**:
```typescript
// Adaptive rendering based on graph size
function AdaptiveGraphRenderer({ nodes, edges }: Props) {
  const nodeCount = nodes.length;

  if (nodeCount < 500) {
    // SVG rendering (best quality)
    return <ReactFlowRenderer nodes={nodes} edges={edges} />;
  } else if (nodeCount < 5000) {
    // Canvas rendering (better performance)
    return <CanvasGraphRenderer nodes={nodes} edges={edges} />;
  } else {
    // WebGL rendering (best performance)
    return <WebGLGraphRenderer nodes={nodes} edges={edges} />;
  }
}

// D3-Force layout with ReactFlow
function useForceLayout(nodes: Node[], edges: Edge[]) {
  useEffect(() => {
    const simulation = d3.forceSimulation(nodes)
      .force('link', d3.forceLink(edges).distance(100))
      .force('charge', d3.forceManyBody().strength(-300))
      .force('center', d3.forceCenter(width / 2, height / 2))
      .force('collision', d3.forceCollide().radius(30))
      .on('tick', () => {
        // Update node positions
        setNodes(prevNodes =>
          prevNodes.map((node, i) => ({
            ...node,
            position: { x: nodes[i].x, y: nodes[i].y },
          }))
        );
      });

    // Stop simulation after convergence
    simulation.alpha(1).restart();

    return () => simulation.stop();
  }, [nodes, edges]);
}
```

### 5.4 tRPC v11 Best Practices

**New Features to Leverage** (2025):

1. **TanStack Query v5 Integration**:
   - Improved type inference
   - Better Suspense support
   - Enhanced mutations

2. **Server-Sent Events (SSE)**:
   - Simpler than WebSocket
   - Better for serverless
   - Native browser support

3. **Non-JSON Content Types**:
   - File uploads via tRPC
   - Binary data support
   - Simplified API

**Code Example**:
```typescript
// SSE-based real-time updates (tRPC v11)
export const requirementsRouter = router({
  // Real-time subscription using SSE
  subscribe: protectedProcedure
    .input(z.object({ projectId: z.string() }))
    .subscription(async function* ({ input, ctx }) {
      // Yield initial state
      yield { type: 'initial', requirements: await getRequirements(input.projectId) };

      // Subscribe to changes
      const channel = supabase
        .channel(`project:${input.projectId}`)
        .on('postgres_changes', {
          event: '*',
          schema: 'public',
          table: 'requirements'
        }, (payload) => {
          yield { type: payload.eventType, requirement: payload.new };
        });

      await channel.subscribe();

      // Cleanup
      return () => channel.unsubscribe();
    }),

  // File upload with non-JSON content type
  uploadDocument: protectedProcedure
    .input(z.instanceof(FormData))
    .mutation(async ({ input, ctx }) => {
      const file = input.get('file') as File;
      const buffer = await file.arrayBuffer();

      // Process file...
      return { success: true, documentId: '...' };
    }),
});
