└── docker/              # Docker configurations
```

### 1.2 Recommended Improvements

#### 🔴 High Priority

1. **Service Layer Pattern**
   - **Issue:** Business logic mixed in routes and models
   - **Impact:** Difficult to test, maintain, and reuse
   - **Solution:** Create `app/services/` directory
   ```
   app/services/
   ├── time_tracking_service.py
   ├── invoice_service.py
   ├── reporting_service.py
   ├── notification_service.py
   └── analytics_service.py
   ```

2. **Repository Pattern for Data Access**
   - **Issue:** Direct model queries scattered throughout codebase
   - **Impact:** Hard to mock, test, and change data sources
   - **Solution:** Create `app/repositories/` layer
   ```
   app/repositories/
   ├── time_entry_repository.py
   ├── project_repository.py
   └── invoice_repository.py
   ```

3. **DTO/Serializer Layer**
   - **Issue:** Direct model serialization in API responses
   - **Impact:** Tight coupling, security risks, inconsistent formats
   - **Solution:** Use Marshmallow schemas consistently
   ```
   app/schemas/
   ├── time_entry_schema.py
   ├── invoice_schema.py
   └── project_schema.py
   ```

#### 🟡 Medium Priority

4. **Domain Events System**
   - **Issue:** No event-driven architecture for side effects
   - **Impact:** Tight coupling, hard to extend
   - **Solution:** Implement event bus for decoupled actions
   ```python
   # Example: When time entry created, emit event
   event_bus.emit('time_entry.created', {
       'entry_id': entry.id,
       'user_id': entry.user_id,
       'project_id': entry.project_id
   })
   ```

5. **Configuration Management**
   - **Issue:** Configuration scattered across multiple files
   - **Impact:** Hard to maintain, inconsistent defaults
   - **Solution:** Centralize in `app/config/settings.py` with validation

6. **Constants & Enums**
   - **Issue:** Magic strings and numbers throughout code
   - **Impact:** Hard to maintain, error-prone
   - **Solution:** Create `app/constants.py` with enums
   ```python
   class TimeEntryStatus(Enum):
       RUNNING = "running"
       PAUSED = "paused"
       STOPPED = "stopped"
   ```

#### 🟢 Low Priority

7. **Plugin/Extension System**
   - **Issue:** No way to extend functionality without modifying core
   - **Impact:** Hard to customize, maintain forks
   - **Solution:** Implement plugin architecture

8. **API Versioning Strategy**
   - **Issue:** Multiple API versions (api.py, api_v1.py) without clear strategy
   - **Impact:** Confusion, maintenance burden
   - **Solution:** Implement proper versioning (v1, v2, etc.)

---

## 2. Code Quality & Architecture

### 2.1 Current State

**Strengths:**
- ✅ Flask application factory pattern
- ✅ Blueprint-based routing
- ✅ SQLAlchemy ORM usage
- ✅ Migration system (Alembic)
- ✅ Error handling middleware
- ✅ Logging infrastructure

**Issues:**

#### 🔴 Critical Issues

1. **Code Duplication**
   - **Location:** Multiple route files have similar CRUD patterns
   - **Example:** Invoice, Quote, Project routes all have similar create/update logic
   - **Solution:** Create base CRUD mixin or service class

2. **Large Route Files**
   - **Issue:** Some route files exceed 1000 lines
   - **Files:** `app/routes/invoices.py`, `app/routes/projects.py`
   - **Solution:** Split into smaller, focused modules
   ```
   app/routes/invoices/
   ├── __init__.py
   ├── create.py
   ├── update.py
   ├── list.py
   └── pdf.py
   ```

3. **N+1 Query Problems**
   - **Issue:** Likely exists in list views (projects, time entries)
   - **Solution:** Use `joinedload()` or `selectinload()` in queries
   ```python
   # Bad
   projects = Project.query.all()
   for p in projects:
       print(p.client.name)  # N+1 query
   
   # Good
   projects = Project.query.options(joinedload(Project.client)).all()
   ```

#### 🟡 Medium Priority

4. **Inconsistent Error Handling**
   - **Issue:** Some routes return JSON, others flash messages
   - **Solution:** Standardize error responses
   ```python
   # Create app/utils/responses.py
   def json_error(message, code=400):
       return jsonify({'error': message}), code
   ```

5. **Missing Input Validation**
   - **Issue:** Some routes don't validate input thoroughly
   - **Solution:** Use Flask-WTF forms or Marshmallow schemas consistently

6. **Transaction Management**
   - **Issue:** Inconsistent use of transactions
   - **Solution:** Use context managers for transactions
   ```python
   @transactional
   def create_invoice(data):
       # Auto-commit or rollback
   ```

### 2.2 Architecture Improvements

#### Recommended Patterns

1. **CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation)**
   - Separate read and write models
   - Optimize queries independently
   - Better scalability

2. **Dependency Injection**
   - Use Flask-Injector or similar
   - Easier testing and mocking
   - Better separation of concerns

3. **Factory Pattern for Complex Objects**
   - Invoice generation
   - PDF creation
   - Report generation
