## ⚙️ Backend Architecture

### **🏗️ MVC + Service Layer Pattern**

```typescript
// Controller Layer
export class UserController {
  async createUser(req: Request, res: Response) {
    const result = await this.userService.create(req.body);
    res.json(result);
  }
}

// Service Layer
export class UserService {
  async create(userData: CreateUserDTO): Promise<User> {
    // Business logic here
    return this.userModel.create(userData);
  }
}

// Model Layer
export class UserModel {
  async create(data: CreateUserDTO): Promise<User> {
    // Database operations
  }
}
```

### **🔐 Authentication Flow**

1. **Token Storage**: Secure sessionStorage implementation
2. **Context Sync**: AuthContext manages global auth state
3. **Route Protection**: AuthGuard automatically protects routes
4. **Middleware**: JWT validation on backend routes
5. **Auto-refresh**: Token refresh handling
