+# Building Guidelines
+
+## Configurations
+
+- The project supports builds using **Vite** for web and **Capacitor** for hybrid
+  apps.
+- Capacitor is used for **iOS**, **Android**, and **Electron** targets.
+- All builds support three modes: **development**, **testing**, and **production**.
+
+## Build Scripts
+
+- `build-web.sh`
+  - Builds a **web-only application**.
+  - Defaults to **development mode** unless overridden.
+
+- `build-ios.sh`
+  - Builds an **iOS hybrid native application** using Capacitor.
+
+- `build-android.sh`
+  - Builds an **Android hybrid native application** using Capacitor.
+
+- `build-electron.sh`
+  - Builds an **Electron hybrid desktop application** using Capacitor.
+
+## npm Scripts
+
+- npm scripts delegate to the `build-*` shell scripts.
+- Parameter flags determine the **build mode** (`development`, `testing`, `production`).

 /**
- * @file Contact Import View Component
- * @author Matthew Raymer
- *
- * This component handles the import of contacts into the TimeSafari app.
- * It supports multiple import methods and handles duplicate detection,
- * contact validation, and visibility settings.
- *
- * Import Methods:
- * 1. Direct URL Query Parameters:
- *    Example: /contact-import?contacts=[{"did":"did:example:123","name":"Alice"}]
- *
- * 2. JWT in URL Path:
- *    Example: /contact-import/eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NksifQ...
- *    - Supports both single and bulk imports
- *    - JWT payload can be either:
- *      a) Array format: { contacts: [{did: "...", name: "..."}, ...] }
- *      b) Single contact: { own: true, did: "...", name: "..." }
- *
- * 3. Manual JWT Input:
- *    - Accepts pasted JWT strings
- *    - Validates format and content before processing
- *
- * URL Examples:
+ * ContactImportView - Contact Import and Batch Processing Page
+ * 
+ * This component handles the batch import of contacts with comprehensive
+ * validation, duplicate detection, and field comparison capabilities.
+ * It provides users with detailed information about each contact before
+ * importing, allowing them to make informed decisions about their contact list.
+ * 
+ * ## How the Contact Import Page Works
+ * 
+ * ### Page Entry and Data Processing
+ * 
+ * **Entry Points**:
+ * - **URL Parameters**: Direct navigation with contact data in URL
+ * - **Contact Input Form**: Redirected from ContactsView with parsed data
+ * - **Manual Entry**: Users can input contact data directly
+ * 
+ * **Data Processing Pipeline**:
+ * 1. **Input Validation**: Parse and validate contact data format
+ * 2. **Contact Analysis**: Check each contact against existing database
+ * 3. **Duplicate Detection**: Identify existing contacts and compare fields
+ * 4. **UI Preparation**: Prepare contact list with status indicators
+ * 
+ * ### Contact Analysis and Display
+ * 
+ * **Contact Status Classification**:
+ * - **New Contacts** (Green): Contacts not in database
+ * - **Existing Contacts** (Orange): Contacts already in database
+ * - **Identical Contacts**: Existing contacts with no field differences
+ * 
+ * **Field Comparison System**:
+ * - **Automatic Detection**: Compare all contact fields
+ * - **Difference Display**: Show old vs new values in table format
+ * - **User Decision**: Allow users to see what will be updated
+ * 
+ * **Contact List Structure**:
+ * ```typescript
+ * interface ContactImportItem {
+ *   did: string;                    // Decentralized identifier
+ *   name?: string;                  // Display name
+ *   publicKey?: string;             // Public key
+ *   publicKeyBase64?: string;       // Base64 encoded key
+ *   status: 'new' | 'existing';    // Import status
+ *   differences?: FieldDifferences; // Field comparison results
+ * }
  * ```
- * # Bulk import via query params
- * /contact-import?contacts=[
- *   {"did":"did:example:123","name":"Alice"},
- *   {"did":"did:example:456","name":"Bob"}
- * ]
- *
- * # Single contact via JWT
- * /contact-import/eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NksifQ.eyJvd24iOnRydWUsImRpZCI6ImRpZDpleGFtcGxlOjEyMyJ9...
- *
- * # Bulk import via JWT
- * /contact-import/eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NksifQ.eyJjb250YWN0cyI6W3siZGlkIjoiZGlkOmV4YW1wbGU6MTIzIn1dfQ...
- *
- * # Redirect to contacts page (single contact)
- * /contacts?contactJwt=eyJhbGciOiJFUzI1NksifQ...
+ * 
+ * ### User Interface Components
+ * 
+ * **Header Section**:
+ * - **Back Navigation**: Return to previous page
+ * - **Page Title**: "Contact Import" heading
+ * - **Loading State**: Spinner during data processing
+ * 
+ * **Visibility Settings**:
+ * - **Activity Visibility Checkbox**: Control activity sharing with imported contacts
+ * - **Global Setting**: Applies to all contacts being imported
+ * 
+ * **Contact List Display**:
+ * - **Contact Cards**: Individual contact information with:
+ *   - Selection checkbox for import control
+ *   - Contact name and DID display
+ *   - Status indicator (New/Existing)
+ *   - Field comparison table for existing contacts
+ * 
+ * **Field Comparison Table**:
+ * - **Three-Column Layout**: Field name, old value, new value
+ * - **Difference Highlighting**: Clear visual indication of changes
+ * - **Comprehensive Coverage**: All contact fields are compared
+ * 
+ * **Import Controls**:
+ * - **Select All/None**: Bulk selection controls
+ * - **Individual Selection**: Per-contact import control
+ * - **Import Button**: Execute the selected imports
+ * 
+ * ### Data Processing Logic
+ * 
+ * **Contact Validation**:
+ * ```typescript
+ * // Validate DID format
+ * const isValidDid = (did: string): boolean => {
+ *   return did.startsWith('did:') && did.length > 10;
+ * };
+ * 
+ * // Check for existing contact
+ * const existingContact = await $getContact(did);
+ * const isExisting = existingContact !== null;
  * ```
- *
- * Features:
- * - Automatic duplicate detection
- * - Field-by-field comparison for existing contacts
- * - Batch visibility settings
- * - Auto-import for single new contacts
- * - Error handling and validation
- *
- * State Management:
- * - Tracks existing contacts
- * - Maintains selection state for bulk imports
- * - Records differences for duplicate contacts
- * - Manages visibility settings
- *
- * Security Considerations:
- * - JWT validation for imported contacts
- * - Visibility control per contact
- * - Error handling for malformed data
- *
- * @example
- * // Component usage in router
- * {
- *   path: "/contact-import/:jwt?",
- *   name: "contact-import",
- *   component: ContactImportView
- * }
- *
- * @see {@link Contact} for contact data structure
- * @see {@link setVisibilityUtil} for visibility management
+ * 
+ * **Field Comparison Algorithm**:
+ * ```typescript
+ * // Compare contact fields
+ * const compareFields = (existing: Contact, importing: Contact) => {
+ *   const differences: FieldDifferences = {};
+ *   
+ *   for (const field of ['name', 'publicKey', 'publicKeyBase64']) {
+ *     if (existing[field] !== importing[field]) {
+ *       differences[field] = {
+ *         old: existing[field] || '',
+ *         new: importing[field] || ''
+ *       };
+ *     }
+ *   }
+ *   
+ *   return differences;
+ * };
+ * ```
+ * 
+ * **Import Decision Logic**:
+ * - **New Contact**: Add to database with all provided fields
+ * - **Existing Contact with Differences**: Update with new field values
+ * - **Existing Contact without Differences**: Skip import (already identical)
+ * - **Invalid Contact**: Skip import and show error
+ * 
+ * ### Batch Import Process
+ * 
+ * **Pre-Import Validation**:
+ * - Verify all selected contacts are valid
+ * - Check database constraints
+ * - Validate visibility settings
+ * 
+ * **Database Transaction**:
+ * ```typescript
+ * // Execute batch import
+ * const importContacts = async () => {
+ *   const selectedContacts = contactsImporting.filter((_, index) => 
+ *     contactsSelected[index]
+ *   );
+ *   
+ *   await $beginTransaction();
+ *   
+ *   try {
+ *     for (const contact of selectedContacts) {

+ *     await $rollbackTransaction();
+ *     notify.error('Import failed: ' + error.message);
+ *   }
+ * };
+ * ```
+ * 
+ * **Post-Import Actions**:
+ * - Update contact list in parent component
+ * - Apply visibility settings if enabled
+ * - Navigate back to contacts list
+ * - Display success/error notifications
+ * 
+ * ### Error Handling and Edge Cases
+ * 
+ * **Input Validation Errors**:
+ * - Malformed JSON data
+ * - Invalid DID format
+ * - Missing required fields
+ * - Empty contact arrays
+ * 
+ * **Database Errors**:
+ * - Constraint violations
+ * - Storage quota exceeded
+ * - Concurrent access conflicts
+ * - Transaction failures
+ * 
+ * **UI Error Recovery**:
+ * - Graceful handling of network failures
+ * - Retry mechanisms for failed operations
+ * - Clear error messages for users
+ * - Fallback options for unsupported features
+ * 
+ * ### Performance Optimizations
+ * 
+ * **Efficient Processing**:
+ * - Batch database operations
+ * - Optimized field comparison algorithms
+ * - Lazy loading of contact details
+ * - Debounced UI updates
+ * 
+ * **Memory Management**:
+ * - Cleanup of temporary data structures
+ * - Proper disposal of event listeners
+ * - Efficient state management
+ * - Garbage collection optimization
+ * 
+ * **UI Responsiveness**:
+ * - Asynchronous data processing
+ * - Progressive loading of contact data
+ * - Non-blocking UI updates
+ * - Optimized rendering for large lists
+ * 
+ * ### Integration Points
+ * 
+ * **Database Integration**:
+ * - PlatformServiceMixin for database operations
+ * - Transaction-based data integrity
+ * - Optimized queries for contact retrieval
+ * - Proper error handling and rollback
+ * 
+ * **Navigation Integration**:
+ * - Route-based data passing
+ * - Deep linking support
+ * - Back navigation handling
+ * - Modal dialog management
+ * 
+ * **Notification System**:
+ * - Success/error message display
+ * - Progress indication during import
+ * - User feedback for all operations
+ * - Accessibility-compliant notifications

+/**
+ * ContactsView - Main Contacts Management Page
+ * 
+ * This component serves as the central hub for contact management in Time Safari.
+ * It provides a comprehensive interface for viewing, adding, importing, and managing
+ * contacts with various input methods and bulk operations.
+ * 
+ * ## How the Contacts Page Works
+ * 
+ * ### Contact Input and Import Workflow
+ * 
+ * **ContactInputForm Component**:
+ * - **Input Field**: Accepts contact data in multiple formats:
+ *   - Individual contact: `"did:ethr:0x..., Alice, publicKey"`
+ *   - JSON array: `"Paste this: [{"did":"did:ethr:0x...","name":"Alice"}]"`
+ *   - URL with contact data: `"https://example.com/contact-data"`
+ * - **Add Button**: Triggers contact processing and validation
+ * - **QR Scanner**: Alternative input method for mobile devices
+ * - **Real-time Validation**: Checks DID format and required fields
+ * 
+ * **Contact Processing Logic**:
+ * 1. **Input Parsing**: The system parses the input to determine format
+ * 2. **Data Validation**: Validates DID format and required fields
+ * 3. **Duplicate Detection**: Checks if contact already exists
+ * 4. **Import Decision**: 
+ *    - Single contact: Direct addition to database
+ *    - Multiple contacts: Redirect to ContactImportView for batch processing
+ *    - Invalid data: Display error message
+ * 
+ * **Import Workflow**:
+ * - **Single Contact**: Added directly with success notification
+ * - **Multiple Contacts**: Redirected to ContactImportView for:
+ *   - Contact comparison and selection
+ *   - Field difference display
+ *   - Batch import execution
+ *   - Visibility settings configuration
+ * 
+ * ### Contact List Management
+ * 
+ * **ContactListItem Components**:
+ * - **Contact Display**: Name, DID, and identicon
+ * - **Selection Checkboxes**: For bulk operations
+ * - **Action Buttons**: Gift, offer, and contact management
+ * - **Status Indicators**: Online/offline status, activity visibility
+ * 
+ * **Bulk Operations**:
+ * - **Select All**: Toggle selection of all contacts
+ * - **Copy Selected**: Export selected contacts as JSON/CSV
+ * - **Bulk Actions**: Gift amounts, visibility settings
+ * 
+ * **Contact Actions**:
+ * - **Gift Dialog**: Record gifts given to/received from contact
+ * - **Offer Dialog**: Create and manage offers
+ * - **Contact Edit**: Modify contact information
+ * - **Large Identicon**: View full-size contact identicon
+ * 
+ * ### Data Flow and State Management
+ * 
+ * **Contact Data Structure**:
+ * ```typescript
+ * interface Contact {
+ *   did: string;           // Decentralized identifier
+ *   name?: string;         // Display name (optional)
+ *   publicKey?: string;    // Public key for verification
+ *   publicKeyBase64?: string; // Base64 encoded public key
+ *   visibility?: boolean;  // Activity visibility setting
+ * }
+ * ```
+ * 
+ * **State Management**:
+ * - **Contact List**: Reactive list of all user contacts
+ * - **Selection State**: Track selected contacts for bulk operations
+ * - **UI State**: Toggle visibility of give totals, actions, etc.
+ * - **Modal State**: Manage dialog visibility and data
+ * 
+ * **Database Operations**:
+ * - **Contact Addition**: Add new contacts with validation
+ * - **Contact Updates**: Modify existing contact information
+ * - **Contact Deletion**: Remove contacts (with confirmation)
+ * - **Bulk Operations**: Process multiple contacts efficiently
+ * 
+ * ### Error Handling and User Feedback
+ * 
+ * **Input Validation Errors**:
+ * - Invalid DID format
+ * - Missing required fields
+ * - Malformed JSON data
+ * - Network errors for URL-based imports
+ * 
+ * **User Notifications**:
+ * - Success messages for successful operations
+ * - Error messages with specific details
+ * - Warning messages for potential issues
+ * - Confirmation dialogs for destructive actions
+ * 
+ * **Error Recovery**:
+ * - Graceful handling of network failures
+ * - Retry mechanisms for failed operations
+ * - Fallback options for unsupported features
+ * 
+ * ### Performance Optimizations
+ * 
+ * **Contact List Rendering**:
+ * - Virtual scrolling for large contact lists
+ * - Efficient filtering and sorting
+ * - Lazy loading of contact details
+ * 
+ * **Database Operations**:
+ * - Batch processing for multiple contacts
+ * - Transaction-based updates for data integrity
+ * - Optimized queries for contact retrieval
+ * 
+ * **UI Responsiveness**:
+ * - Debounced input validation
+ * - Asynchronous contact processing
+ * - Progressive loading of contact data
+ * 
+ * ### Integration Points
+ * 
+ * **Platform Services**:
+ * - Database operations via PlatformServiceMixin
+ * - QR code scanning via platform-specific implementations
+ * - File system access for contact export
+ * 
+ * **External Services**:
+ * - Endorser.ch for contact verification
+ * - JWT token processing for secure imports
+ * - URL-based contact data retrieval
+ * 
+ * **Navigation Integration**:
+ * - Deep linking to contact import
+ * - Route-based contact filtering
+ * - Modal dialog management

+ * 
+ * ================================================================================
+ * TEST FLOW & PROCESS
+ * ================================================================================
+ * 
+ * Phase 1: Data Generation & Preparation
+ * ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+ * 1. Generate unique test data:
+ *    - Random 4-character string for gift ID uniqueness
+ *    - Random amount between 1-99 (non-zero validation)
+ *    - Combine with "Gift " prefix for standard format
+ * 
+ * 2. User preparation:
+ *    - Import User 00 (test account with known state)
+ *    - Navigate to home page
+ *    - Handle onboarding dialog closure
+ * 
+ * Phase 2: Gift Recording Process
+ * ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+ * 3. Recipient selection:
+ *    - Click "Person" button to open recipient picker
+ *    - Select "Unnamed/Unknown" recipient
+ *    - Verify selection is applied
+ * 
+ * 4. Gift details entry:
+ *    - Fill gift title with generated unique string
+ *    - Enter random amount in number field
+ *    - Validate form state before submission
+ * 
+ * 5. Submission and signing:
+ *    - Click "Sign & Send" button
+ *    - Wait for JWT signing process
+ *    - Verify success notification appears
+ *    - Dismiss any info alerts
+ * 
+ * Phase 3: Verification & Validation
+ * ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+ * 6. Home view verification:
+ *    - Refresh home page to load new gift
+ *    - Locate gift in activity list by title
+ *    - Click info link to view details
+ * 
+ * 7. Details verification:
+ *    - Verify "Verifiable Claim Details" heading
+ *    - Confirm gift title matches exactly
+ *    - Expand Details section for extended info
+ * 
+ * 8. Public server integration:
+ *    - Click "View on Public Server" link
+ *    - Verify popup opens with correct URL
+ *    - Validate public server accessibility
+ * 
+ * ================================================================================
+ * TEST DATA SPECIFICATIONS
+ * ================================================================================
+ * 
+ * Gift Title Format: "Gift [4-char-random]"
+ * - Prefix: "Gift " (with space)
+ * - Random component: 4-character alphanumeric string
+ * - Example: "Gift a7b3", "Gift x9y2"
+ * 
+ * Amount Range: 1-99 (inclusive)
+ * - Minimum: 1 (non-zero validation)
+ * - Maximum: 99 (reasonable upper bound)
+ * - Type: Integer only
+ * - Example: 42, 7, 99
  * 
- * Key Selectors:
- * - Gift title: '[data-testid="giftTitle"]'
- * - Amount input: 'input[type="number"]'
+ * Recipient: "Unnamed/Unknown"
+ * - Standard test recipient
+ * - No specific DID or contact info
+ * - Used for all test gifts
+ * 
+ * ================================================================================
+ * SELECTOR REFERENCE
+ * ================================================================================
+ * 
+ * Form Elements:
+ * - Gift title input: '[data-testid="giftTitle"]' or 'input[placeholder="What was given"]'
+ * - Amount input: 'input[type="number"]' or 'input[role="spinbutton"]'
  * - Submit button: 'button[name="Sign & Send"]'
- * - Success alert: 'div[role="alert"]'
- * - Details section: 'h2[name="Details"]'
- * 
- * Alert Handling:
- * - Closes onboarding dialog
- * - Verifies success message
- * - Dismisses info alerts
- * 
- * State Requirements:
- * - Clean database state
- * - User 00 imported
- * - Available API rate limits
- * 
- * Related Files:
- * - Gift recording view: src/views/RecordGiftView.vue
- * - JWT creation: sw_scripts/safari-notifications.js
- * - Endorser API: src/libs/endorserServer.ts
- * 
- * @see Documentation in usage-guide.md for gift recording workflows
- * @requires @playwright/test
- * @requires ./testUtils - For user management utilities
- * 
- * @example Basic gift recording
- * ```typescript
- * await page.getByPlaceholder('What was given').fill('Gift abc123');
- * await page.getByRole('spinbutton').fill('42');
- * await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign & Send' }).click();
- * await expect(page.getByText('That gift was recorded.')).toBeVisible();
+ * - Person button: 'button[name="Person"]'
+ * - Recipient list: 'ul[role="listbox"]'
+ * 
+ * Navigation & UI:
+ * - Onboarding close: '[data-testid="closeOnboardingAndFinish"]'
+ * - Home page: './' (relative URL)
+ * - Alert dismissal: 'div[role="alert"] button > svg.fa-xmark'
+ * - Success message: 'text="That gift was recorded."'
+ * 
+ * Verification Elements:
+ * - Gift list item: 'li:first-child' (filtered by title)
+ * - Info link: '[data-testid="circle-info-link"]'
+ * - Details heading: 'h2[name="Verifiable Claim Details"]'
+ * - Details section: 'h2[name="Details", exact="true"]'
+ * - Public server link: 'a[name="View on the Public Server"]'
+ * 
+ * ================================================================================
+ * ERROR HANDLING & DEBUGGING
+ * ================================================================================
+ * 
+ * Common Failure Points:
+ * 1. Onboarding Dialog
+ *    - Issue: Dialog doesn't close properly
+ *    - Debug: Check if closeOnboardingAndFinish button exists
+ *    - Fix: Add wait for dialog to be visible before clicking
+ * 
+ * 2. Recipient Selection
+ *    - Issue: "Unnamed" recipient not found
+ *    - Debug: Check if recipient list is populated
+ *    - Fix: Add wait for list to load before filtering
+ * 
+ * 3. Form Submission
+ *    - Issue: "Sign & Send" button not clickable
+ *    - Debug: Check if form is valid and all fields filled
+ *    - Fix: Add validation before submission
+ * 
+ * 4. Success Verification
+ *    - Issue: Success message doesn't appear
+ *    - Debug: Check network requests and JWT signing
+ *    - Fix: Add longer timeout for signing process
+ * 
+ * 5. Home View Refresh
+ *    - Issue: Gift doesn't appear in list
+ *    - Debug: Check if gift was actually recorded
+ *    - Fix: Add wait for home view to reload
+ * 
+ * 6. Public Server Integration
+ *    - Issue: Popup doesn't open or wrong URL
+ *    - Debug: Check if public server is accessible
+ *    - Fix: Verify endorser server configuration
+ * 
+ * Debugging Commands:
+ * ```bash
+ * # Run with trace for detailed debugging
+ * npx playwright test 30-record-gift.spec.ts --trace on
+ * 
+ * # Run with headed browser for visual debugging
+ * npx playwright test 30-record-gift.spec.ts --headed
+ * 
+ * # Run with slow motion for step-by-step debugging
+ * npx playwright test 30-record-gift.spec.ts --debug
+ * ```
+ * 
+ * ================================================================================
+ * BROWSER COMPATIBILITY
+ * ================================================================================
+ * 
+ * Tested Browsers:
+ * - Chromium: Primary target, full functionality
+ * - Firefox: Secondary target, may have timing differences
+ * 
+ * Browser-Specific Considerations:
+ * - Firefox: May require longer timeouts for form interactions
+ * - Chromium: Generally faster, more reliable
+ * - Both: Popup handling may differ slightly
+ * 
+ * ================================================================================
+ * PERFORMANCE CONSIDERATIONS
+ * ================================================================================
+ * 
+ * Expected Timings:
+ * - Data generation: < 1ms
+ * - User import: 2-5 seconds
+ * - Form filling: 1-2 seconds
+ * - JWT signing: 3-8 seconds
+ * - Home refresh: 2-4 seconds
+ * - Public server: 1-3 seconds
+ * 
+ * Total expected runtime: 10-20 seconds
+ * 
+ * Performance Monitoring:
+ * - Monitor JWT signing time (most variable)
+ * - Track home view refresh time
+ * - Watch for memory leaks in popup handling
+ * 
+ * ================================================================================
+ * MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
+ * ================================================================================
+ * 
+ * When Modifying This Test:
+ * 1. Update version number and lastModified date
+ * 2. Test on both Chromium and Firefox
+ * 3. Verify with different random data sets
+ * 4. Check that public server integration still works
+ * 5. Update selector references if UI changes
+ * 
+ * Related Files to Monitor:
+ * - src/views/RecordGiftView.vue (gift recording UI)
+ * - src/views/HomeView.vue (gift display)
+ * - sw_scripts/safari-notifications.js (JWT signing)
+ * - src/libs/endorserServer.ts (API integration)
+ * - test-playwright/testUtils.ts (user management)
+ * 
+ * ================================================================================
+ * INTEGRATION POINTS
+ * ================================================================================
+ * 
+ * Dependencies:
+ * - User 00 must be available in test data
+ * - Endorser server must be running and accessible
+ * - Public server must be configured correctly
+ * - JWT signing must be functional
+ * 
+ * API Endpoints Used:
+ * - POST /api/claims (gift recording)
+ * - GET /api/claims (public verification)
+ * - WebSocket connections for real-time updates
+ * 
+ * ================================================================================
+ * SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS
+ * ================================================================================
+ * 
+ * Test Data Security:
+ * - Random data prevents test interference
+ * - No sensitive information in test gifts
+ * - Public server verification is read-only
+ * 
+ * JWT Handling:
+ * - Test uses test user credentials
+ * - Signing process is isolated
+ * - No production keys used
+ *

+/**
+ * Contact Import End-to-End Tests
+ * 
+ * This comprehensive test suite validates Time Safari's contact import functionality
+ * across all supported import methods and edge cases. The tests ensure that users
+ * can reliably import contacts through various mechanisms while maintaining data
+ * integrity and providing appropriate feedback.
+ * 
+ * ## How the Contact Import Page Works
+ * 
+ * ### User Workflow
+ * 1. **Entry Point**: Users can reach contact import through multiple paths:
+ *    - Direct navigation to `/contact-import` with URL parameters
+ *    - Pasting contact data in the contacts page input field
+ *    - Manual entry via textarea on the import page
+ * 
+ * 2. **Data Processing**: The system parses contact data in multiple formats:
+ *    - JSON arrays: `[{"did":"did:ethr:0x...","name":"Alice"}]`
+ *    - Individual contact strings: `"did:ethr:0x..., Alice, publicKey"`
+ *    - JWT tokens (future implementation)
+ * 
+ * 3. **Contact Analysis**: For each contact, the system:
+ *    - Validates the DID format and required fields
+ *    - Checks if the contact already exists in the database
+ *    - Compares field values for existing contacts to detect differences
+ *    - Categorizes contacts as "New" or "Existing"
+ * 
+ * 4. **UI Presentation**: The ContactImportView displays:
+ *    - A list of all contacts with checkboxes for selection
+ *    - Status indicators ("New" in green, "Existing" in orange)
+ *    - Field comparison tables for existing contacts with differences
+ *    - Visibility settings checkbox for activity sharing
+ *    - Import button to execute the selected contacts
+ * 
+ * 5. **Import Process**: When users click "Import Selected Contacts":
+ *    - Selected contacts are processed in batch
+ *    - New contacts are added to the database
+ *    - Existing contacts are updated with new field values
+ *    - Success/error feedback is displayed
+ *    - Users are redirected back to the contacts list
+ * 
+ * ### Page Structure and Components
+ * 
+ * **ContactImportView.vue**:
+ * - **Header**: Back navigation and "Contact Import" title
+ * - **Loading State**: Spinner while processing contact data
+ * - **Visibility Settings**: Checkbox for making activity visible to imported contacts
+ * - **Contact List**: Each contact displayed with:
+ *   - Checkbox for selection
+ *   - Contact name and DID
+ *   - Status indicator (New/Existing)
+ *   - Field comparison table for existing contacts
+ * - **Import Button**: Executes the import process
+ * - **Empty State**: Message when no contacts are found
+ * 
+ * **ContactInputForm Component** (in ContactsView):
+ * - **Input Field**: Accepts contact data in various formats
+ * - **Add Button**: Triggers contact processing
+ * - **QR Scanner**: Alternative input method
+ * - **Validation**: Real-time validation of input format
+ * 
+ * ### Data Flow
+ * 
+ * 1. **Input Processing**:
+ *    ```typescript
+ *    // Contact data can be provided as:
+ *    const contactData = 'Paste this: [{"did":"did:ethr:0x...","name":"Alice"}]';
+ *    // or individual format:
+ *    const contactData = 'did:ethr:0x..., Alice, publicKey';
+ *    ```
+ * 
+ * 2. **Contact Validation**:
+ *    - DID format validation (must be valid DID)
+ *    - Required field checking (name is optional but recommended)
+ *    - Duplicate detection against existing contacts
+ * 
+ * 3. **Field Comparison**:
+ *    - For existing contacts, compare all fields
+ *    - Display differences in a table format
+ *    - Allow users to see what will be updated
+ * 
+ * 4. **Batch Import**:
+ *    - Process all selected contacts in a single transaction
+ *    - Handle both new additions and updates
+ *    - Maintain data integrity throughout the process
+ * 
+ * ### Error Handling
+ * 
+ * The system handles various error scenarios:
+ * - **Invalid Data**: Malformed JSON, missing fields, wrong types
+ * - **Network Issues**: Failed data retrieval from URLs
+ * - **Database Errors**: Storage quota exceeded, connection issues
+ * - **UI Errors**: Modal conflicts, alert dismissal failures
+ * 
+ * ### Performance Considerations
+ * 
+ * - **Large Contact Lists**: Efficient processing of 10+ contacts
+ * - **Field Comparison**: Optimized comparison algorithms
+ * - **Batch Operations**: Database transactions for multiple contacts
+ * - **Memory Management**: Proper cleanup of temporary data
+ * 
+ * ## Test Coverage Overview
+ * 
+ * ### Import Methods Tested
+ * 1. **Direct Contact Addition**: Single contact via contacts page input
+ * 2. **Batch Import via Text**: Multiple contacts pasted into input field
+ * 3. **URL Query Parameters**: Contact data passed via URL parameters
+ * 4. **Manual Data Input**: Contact data entered via textarea
+ * 5. **Selective Import**: Checkbox-based contact selection
+ * 
+ * ### Error Scenarios Validated
+ * - Invalid JWT format detection and handling
+ * - Malformed contact data validation
+ * - Empty contact array handling
+ * - Missing required fields detection
+ * - Wrong data type handling
+ * - Network error simulation
+ * 
+ * ### Performance and Reliability
+ * - Large contact list import performance
+ * - Alert dismissal reliability
+ * - Modal dialog handling
+ * - Duplicate contact detection
+ * - State management and cleanup
+ * 
+ * ## Test Data Strategy
+ * 
+ * Each test uses unique contact data generated with timestamps and random
+ * suffixes to prevent conflicts with existing database contacts. This ensures
+ * test isolation and reliable results across multiple test runs.
+ * 
+ * ## Key Implementation Details
+ * 
+ * ### Performance Monitoring
+ * The test suite includes a PerformanceMonitor class that tracks execution
+ * times for critical operations, helping identify performance bottlenecks
+ * and ensuring consistent test behavior across different environments.
+ * 
+ * ### Error Handling Patterns
+ * Tests implement robust error handling for UI interactions, including:
+ * - Modal dialog detection and dismissal
+ * - Alert message verification
+ * - Network error simulation
+ * - Graceful degradation for failed operations
+ * 
+ * ### State Management
+ * Each test maintains clean state through:
+ * - Pre-test user import and contact cleanup
+ * - Post-test contact cleanup
+ * - Isolated test data generation
+ * - Proper resource cleanup
+ * 
+ * ## Usage Examples
+ * 
+ * ### Basic Contact Import
+ * ```typescript
+ * // Navigate to contacts page
+ * await page.goto('./contacts');
+ * 
+ * // Add contact via input field
+ * await page.getByPlaceholder('URL or DID, Name, Public Key')
+ *   .fill('did:ethr:0x123..., Alice Test');
+ * 
+ * // Submit and verify
+ * await page.locator('button > svg.fa-plus').click();
+ * await expect(page.locator('div[role="alert"] span:has-text("Success")'))
+ *   .toBeVisible();
+ * ```
+ * 
+ * ### Batch Contact Import
+ * ```typescript
+ * // Prepare contact data
+ * const contactData = 'Paste this: [{"did":"did:ethr:0x123...","name":"Alice"}]';
+ * 
+ * // Navigate and input data
+ * await page.goto('./contacts');
+ * await page.getByPlaceholder('URL or DID, Name, Public Key').fill(contactData);
+ * await page.locator('button > svg.fa-plus').click();
+ * 
+ * // Verify import page and import contacts
+ * await expect(page.getByRole('heading', { name: 'Contact Import' })).toBeVisible();
+ * await page.locator('button:has-text("Import Selected Contacts")').click();
+ * ```
+ * 
+ * ## Test Architecture
+ * 
+ * ### PerformanceMonitor Class
+ * Provides detailed timing information for test operations, helping identify
+ * performance issues and ensuring consistent test behavior.
+ * 
+ * ### Test Data Generation
+ * Creates unique contact data with timestamps and random suffixes to prevent
+ * conflicts and ensure test isolation.
+ * 
+ * ### Error Simulation
+ * Tests various error conditions including invalid data formats, network
+ * failures, and malformed inputs to ensure robust error handling.
