+- **Frontend:** [community-security-and-emergency-ma-gamma.vercel.app](https://community-security-and-emergency-ma-gamma.vercel.app/)
+- **Set Space replicas to 1** — WebSocket camera control, refresh tokens, and live face state are per-container. Multiple replicas cause intermittent 401 refresh failures and face tracking that “stops working”.
+- **Repository secrets (required):**
+  - `CORS_ORIGINS=https://community-security-and-emergency-ma-gamma.vercel.app,https://rapid-eec43.web.app,http://localhost:5173`
+  - `CEPHEUS_JWT_SECRET`, `CEPHEUS_AUTH_USERS`, `GEMINI_API_KEY`
+- **Hardware:** Use **CPU upgrade** (or GPU if available). Set `OMP_NUM_THREADS=4` and `CEPHEUS_FACE_WORKERS=4` (already in Dockerfile) so InsightFace uses available CPU cores.

+# Backend Audit Report
+
+## Concurrency Issues
+1. **ConnectionManager Broadcast Modification**: The WebSocket `ConnectionManager.broadcast` and `broadcast_to_agents` methods were iterating directly over `self.active_connections` and `self.agent_connections`. If an asynchronous operation yielded and a client disconnected, the list size would change during iteration, leading to skipped clients or iteration errors.
+2. **Global Locks**: `store_locks.sos_lock` is used appropriately when appending to `sos_events`. However, lists like `detections_history` do not have an explicit async lock around them. Since `_upsert_detection_sighting` is mostly synchronous except when awaited inside other async handlers, it may not immediately corrupt but can cause interleaved updates.
+
+## Memory Issues
+1. **Detections History Unbounded Growth**: Most memory lists (like `alerts_db`, `sos_events`, `agentic_plans`) are bounded using `_trim_memory_list` to prevent memory leaks in the long-running process. However, `detections_history` currently grows unbounded. When new faces are detected (or unique names generated), `detections_history.append(entry)` is called without trimming, leading to a slow memory leak over days/weeks of continuous operation.
+
+## Exception Handling
+1. **Heartbeat Silence**: The `_ws_send_heartbeat` background task contains a `try...except Exception: pass` block. If `send_personal_message` encounters an error, the heartbeat task exits silently, meaning the proxy might drop idle connections because heartbeats cease without warning.
+2. **Agent Stream Errors**: In `agents_ws`, `agent_step` exceptions are caught, but `manager.send_personal_message` during an error state might itself fail if the websocket has disconnected.

+The `emergency_maps_service.py` is responsible for locating nearby emergency services.

+2. **Categories Supported**: Hospital, Fire Station, Police, Ambulance, Emergency Supplies.
+3. **Simulated Traffic/ETA**: Uses Haversine distance and simulates driving metrics (assumes 25% longer route, 40km/h average speed, and +18% delay for moderate traffic).
+4. **Resilience**: Has mirrors for Overpass API (`overpass-api.de` and `overpass.kumi.systems`).

+# Frontend Architecture Audit
+
+## Issues Identified
+
+### 1. Excessive Polling & "Thundering Herd" Problems
+The frontend makes aggressive use of `setInterval` across multiple components to fetch data (e.g., `EmergencyPage`, `GossipGraph`). In some areas, these intervals interact poorly with retry logic.
+- **`useCommandApiStatus.js`**: Contained a critical bug where `setInterval` continued running even after the backend was marked offline, while `setTimeout` retry logic concurrently fired. This created exponential background polling, degrading browser performance and network availability.
+
+### 2. State Leaks on Unmounted Components
+- **`AlertFeed.jsx`**: Inside a `setInterval` loop, a `setTimeout` was used to delay a state update. The interval was cleared on unmount, but the timeout was not, leading to React state updates on an unmounted component.
+
+### 3. Missing Event Listener Cleanup
+- **`continuousPlatformService.js`**: Functions like `bindWsPollListeners` attach global `window` and `document` event listeners (e.g., `visibilitychange`, `cepheus:vision-ws-open`). Although structured as singletons, lack of explicit `removeEventListener` can cause issues during HMR or if the app's initialization cycle runs multiple times.
+
+### 4. Direct Mutation of Global State
+- **`GossipGraph.jsx`**: Manual mutations of the `zustand` store variables (e.g., `faceRes[camId] = ...`) were spotted instead of using immutable updates. This can cause components relying on those specific slices of state to bypass re-renders or suffer from tearing.
+
+## Recommendations
+- Consolidate polling loops into the central WebSocket (`wsVisionSingleton.js`).
+- Always return a cleanup function in `useEffect` that clears *all* asynchronous boundaries (`setTimeout` and `setInterval`).
+- Switch to structured state updaters via `zustand` actions rather than shallow copying and mutating nested store objects.

+# Frontend Performance Audit
+
+## Issues Identified
+
+### 1. Exponential Timer Stacking (Fixed)
+The `useCommandApiStatus.js` hook, which performs health checks, maintained a 5000ms `setInterval`. When a check failed, it spawned a recursive `setTimeout` for backoff logic, but *failed to clear the underlying interval*. This created O(N) concurrent timers, drastically hurting main thread performance and saturating the browser's network task queue during outages.
+
+### 2. High Frequency DOM & State Updates
+Components like `AlertFeed.jsx` and `GossipGraph.jsx` trigger state updates at sub-second frequencies (`400ms` and `1500ms`). 
+- Uncoordinated background tasks processing WebSocket frames and polling can cause continuous React re-renders.
+- Unmounted components were retaining active `setTimeout` callbacks, resulting in zombie state updates causing layout thrashing and memory leaks.
+
+### 3. Redundant Fetch Requests
+- `EmergencyPage.jsx` has multiple `setInterval` hooks (5s and 10s) pulling entire datasets (`/issues`, `/emergency/dispatch-log`, `/staff/activity`). Combined with WebSocket events, this is redundant and wastes client/server bandwidth.
+
+## Recommendations
+- **Debounce State Updates**: Batch WebSocket events or throttle high-frequency data (like bounding boxes or presence updates) to 1-2 FPS for the UI unless critically needed for rendering.
+- **Cleanup Background Intervals**: Ensure strict React lifecycle management for any timers (like `setTimeout`) spawned indirectly by `setInterval` functions to prevent memory leaks and zombie updates.

+# Vision & Face Recognition Audit
+
+The Face Recognition system is located in `backend/Face_Recognition`.
+
+## Key Findings:
+1. **Matcher Engine**: `FaceMatcher` handles operations via `InsightFace` models. 
+2. **Embedding Storage**: Enrollments are saved as `.npy` files. Stored inside `faces_db` and `temp_faces_db`.
+3. **Concurrency**: It employs thread locks (`threading.Lock()`) for updating the embedding dict safely across background refreshes and API calls.
+4. **Background Refresh**: Boot sequence kicks off a thread to refresh stale embeddings without blocking startup.
+5. **Dynamic Thresholds**: Reads defaults via env vars (`FACE_MATCH_THRESHOLD`) but overrides them based on a `PERSON_THRESHOLDS` mapping for predefined demo identities (mk, urvi, vidit), ensuring fewer false positives.
+
+## Recommendations:
+- Transition from file-based `.npy` lookups to a vector database if the identity count exceeds a few thousand.
+- Ensure the background thread handles InsightFace GPU resource contention if any.

audit/websocket.md

+# WebSocket Audit Report
+
+## Observations & Issues
+1. **Concurrency inside Iterations**: The `ConnectionManager` iterates directly over active lists (`self.active_connections` and `self.agent_connections`) to broadcast messages. This is a severe problem in an asynchronous framework like FastAPI. Yielding via `await ws.send_text` allows other coroutines to execute, potentially mutating the list via `disconnect()`. This causes `IndexError` or skips elements in the list.
+2. **Heartbeat Silence Drop**: The `_ws_send_heartbeat` coroutine relies on a `try-except` block that suppresses all exceptions and `pass`es, silently stopping the heartbeat loop for the rest of the connection's lifetime. If the `send_personal_message` ping fails transiently, the client receives no more heartbeats and eventually the HTTP proxy (Nginx or HF) will terminate the idle connection.
+3. **Task Cancellation Context**: In `websocket_endpoint`, when a `WebSocketDisconnect` is caught or another exception happens, the heartbeat task is cancelled properly. 
+4. **Agent Streams**: The `/ws/agents` handler has good resilience for decoding image data from Copilot, but the global AI context injection doesn't properly wrap potential data structure updates inside a thread-safe or async-safe barrier, exposing it to potential race conditions on heavy load.
+
+## Recommendations
+* Iterate over `list(self.active_connections)` rather than the raw reference.
+* Refactor heartbeat to catch and ignore send exceptions gracefully without terminating the `while True` loop, or explicitly log the failure to notify the orchestrator.
