Focus Friendship

This project is for "Focus Friendship," a web application that gamifies focus sessions using a digital pet.

Approved Technical Plan (Updated)

Phase 1: Core Pet & Progress MVP (Completed)

This phase focused on the essential loop: focusing to evolve a single pet.

Backend & Setup: The initial Express backend has been deprecated. All backend logic for session processing and XP calculation has been migrated to Firebase Cloud Functions.
Core Services: Services (XP, Pet, Goal, Shop) have been refactored to use Firestore for data persistence instead of localStorage.
Core UI: The Timer component and CutieBean pet component are now integrated with Firebase Firestore.

Phase 2: Customization & Goals (Completed)

This phase expanded the core experience with more personalization.

Expand Core Services: Services now manage multiple pets and user-defined goals using Firestore.
New UI - Goals: The GoalManager component is integrated with Firestore.
New UI - Pet Switching: The PetSelector component is integrated with Firestore.

This phase formalizes the full Firebase backend and looks towards future social features.

Firebase Backend Implementation:
- User Authentication: Anonymous Authentication using Firebase Auth is implemented.
- Database Integration: Firebase Firestore is fully integrated for user, pet, goal, and shop data persistence.
- Server-side Logic: Firebase Cloud Functions handle authoritative session processing and XP calculation.
Future Social & Scheduling Features:
- User Authentication: Expand to include "Sign in with Google."
- Friends System & Calendar: Implement friends lists and Google Calendar integration (requires further development).

Current Architecture

The application now features a Firebase-centric architecture:

Frontend (Client): A React application (client/) handles the user interface and interactions.
**Backend (Firebase Services):
- Firebase Authentication: Manages user authentication (currently anonymous).
- Firestore: Serves as the primary database for all user data (XP, pets, goals, shop items).
- Cloud Functions: Hosts server-side logic, such as authoritative XP calculation and session processing, triggered by Firestore writes.
The previous Node.js/Express.js backend has been deprecated and its core logic migrated to Cloud Functions.

also explain and show everything step by step, after showing the plan, allow me a chance to approve or not approve it, and then do this step by step
keep the 2 phase structure, just push back scheduling with friends to phase 3 ig (interpreted as a 3-phase structure)
