+# Refactoring Plan for AFASystems Presence Detection System
+
+**Date:** 2026-01-16
+**Total Codebase:** ~3,391 lines of Go code across 4 services
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+After analyzing the codebase across the 4 main services (`bridge`, `decoder`, `location`, `server`), I've identified significant code duplication, inconsistent patterns, and maintenance challenges. This document outlines a structured refactoring approach to improve maintainability, reduce duplication, and establish clear architectural patterns.
+
+---
+
+## Critical Issues Identified
+
+### 1. **Massive Code Duplication** (Priority: HIGH)
+
+#### Problem: Identical Boilerplate in All Services
+All 4 services (`bridge/main.go:118-131`, `decoder/main.go:36-44`, `location/main.go:31-39`, `server/main.go:45-53`) contain **identical** code for:
+- Log file creation
+- Multi-writer setup (stderr + file)
+- Logger initialization with JSON handler
+- Context setup with signal handling
+
+**Impact:** Any change to logging or signal handling requires updating 4 files.
+
+**Duplication Factor:** ~60 lines × 4 services = 240 lines of duplicated code
+
+#### Problem: Kafka Consumer Pattern Duplication
+Each service manually creates channels, adds to waitgroups, and starts consumers in the same pattern:
+```go
+chRaw := make(chan model.BeaconAdvertisement, 2000)
+wg.Add(1)
+go kafkaclient.Consume(rawReader, chRaw, ctx, &wg)
+```
+
+This pattern appears in `bridge/main.go:147-154`, `decoder/main.go:57-62`, `location/main.go:55-60`, `server/main.go:110-115`.
+
+---
+
+### 2. **Dead Code** (Priority: MEDIUM)
+
+#### Problem: Commented-out Code in bridge/main.go:76-103
+83 lines of commented CSV parsing code remain in the codebase. This:
+- Reduces readability
+- Creates confusion about what functionality is active
+- Should be removed or moved to version control history
+
+#### Problem: Unused Variables
+In `bridge/main.go:38`:
+```go
+var wg sync.WaitGroup
+```
+This package-level variable is used but would be better as a struct field in a service object.
+
+---
+
+### 3. **Inconsistent Error Handling** (Priority: HIGH)
+
+#### Problem: Mixed Error Handling Patterns
+Across services, there are at least 3 different error handling patterns:
+
+1. **Silent continuation** (`bridge/main.go:35-37`):
+   ```go
+   if err != nil {
+       log.Printf("Error parsing JSON: %v", err)
+       return  // or continue
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Panic on error** (`bridge/main.go:169-171`):
+   ```go
+   if token := client.Connect(); token.Wait() && token.Error() != nil {
+       panic(token.Error())
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **Fatal termination** (`server/main.go:60-62`):
+   ```go
+   if err != nil {
+       log.Fatalf("Failed to open database connection: %v\n", err)
+   }
+   ```
+
+**Impact:** Inconsistent behavior makes debugging difficult and error handling unpredictable.
+
+---
+
+### 4. **Monolithic main() Functions** (Priority: HIGH)
+
+#### Problem: Single Large Function Does Everything
+All main functions are doing too much:
+- **bridge/main.go:118-224** (106 lines): Setup, MQTT connection, event loop, Kafka handling, shutdown
+- **server/main.go:41-219** (178 lines): DB setup, Kafka setup, HTTP server, WebSocket, event loop, shutdown
+- **decoder/main.go:27-91** (64 lines): Kafka setup, parser registry, event loop, processing
+- **location/main.go:26-90** (64 lines): Kafka setup, ticker management, event loop, location algorithm
+
+**Impact:** Hard to test, hard to reason about, high cyclomatic complexity.
+
+---
+
+### 5. **Lack of Abstraction for Common Patterns** (Priority: MEDIUM)
+
+#### Problem: No Service Lifecycle Management
+Each service manually:
+1. Creates logger
+2. Sets up signal context
+3. Creates Kafka readers/writers
+4. Starts consumers
+5. Runs event loop
+6. Handles shutdown
+7. Closes Kafka connections
+
+This is a perfect candidate for an abstraction.
+
+---
+
+### 6. **Hardcoded Configuration** (Priority: MEDIUM)
+
+#### Problem: Hardcoded Paths and Values
+- `server/main.go:75`: Hardcoded config file path `"/app/cmd/server/config.json"`
+- `bridge/main.go:227`: Hardcoded MQTT topic `"publish_out/#"`
+- `server/main.go:238`: Hardcoded ping ticker calculation `(60 * 9) / 10 * time.Second`
+- `server/main.go:147`: Hardcoded beacon ticker `2 * time.Second`
+
+**Impact:** Difficult to configure without code changes.
+
+---
+
+### 7. **Missing TODO Resolution** (Priority: LOW)
+
+#### Outstanding TODO
+`internal/pkg/model/parser.go:74`:
+```go
+// TODO: change this to be dynamic, maybe event is interface with no predefined properties
+```
+
+This should be addressed to make the parser more flexible.
+
+---
+
+### 8. **Inefficient Memory Usage** (Priority: LOW)
+
+#### Problem: Unbounded Map Growth Potential
+In `location/main.go:113-119`:
+```go
+locList := make(map[string]float64)
+for _, metric := range beacon.BeaconMetrics {
+    res := seenW + (rssiW * (1.0 - (float64(metric.RSSI) / -100.0)))
+    locList[metric.Location] += res
+}
+```
+
+If `BeaconMetrics` grows unbounded, this could become a performance issue. However, current implementation limits this via `BeaconMetricSize` setting.
+
+---
+
+## Refactoring Recommendations
+
+### Phase 1: Create Common Infrastructure (Immediate)
+
+#### 1.1 Create Service Lifecycle Framework
+
+**File:** `internal/pkg/server/service.go`
+```go
+package server
+
+import (
+    "context"
+    "io"
+    "log"
+    "log/slog"
+    "os"
+    "os/signal"
+    "sync"
+    "syscall"
+)
+
+type Service struct {
+    name        string
+    cfg         Config
+    logger      *slog.Logger
+    ctx         context.Context
+    cancel      context.CancelFunc
+    wg          sync.WaitGroup
+    kafkaMgr    *KafkaManager
+}
+
+func NewService(name string, cfg Config) (*Service, error) {
+    // Initialize logger
+    // Setup signal handling
+    // Create Kafka manager
+}
+
+func (s *Service) Logger() *slog.Logger {
+    return s.logger
+}
+
+func (s *Service) Context() context.Context {
+    return s.ctx
+}
+
+func (s *Service) WaitGroup() *sync.WaitGroup {
+    return &s.wg
+}
+
+func (s *Service) Start() {
+    // Start event loop
+}
+
+func (s *Service) Shutdown() {
+    // Handle graceful shutdown
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Single place for lifecycle management
+- Consistent startup/shutdown across all services
+- Easier testing with mock dependencies
+
+#### 1.2 Extract Logger Initialization
+
+**File:** `internal/pkg/server/logger.go`
+```go
+package server
+
+import (
+    "io"
+    "log"
+    "log/slog"
+    "os"
+)
+
+func InitLogger(logPath string) (*slog.Logger, io.Closer, error) {
+    logFile, err := os.OpenFile(logPath, os.O_CREATE|os.O_WRONLY|os.O_APPEND, 0666)
+    if err != nil {
+        return nil, nil, err
+    }
+
+    w := io.MultiWriter(os.Stderr, logFile)
+    logger := slog.New(slog.NewJSONHandler(w, nil))
+    slog.SetDefault(logger)
+
+    return logger, logFile, nil
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Reusable across all services
+- Consistent logging format
+- Easier to change logging strategy
+
+#### 1.3 Create Kafka Manager
+
+**File:** `internal/pkg/server/kafka.go`
+```go
+package server
+
+import (
+    "context"
+    "sync"
+
+    "github.com/AFASystems/presence/internal/pkg/kafkaclient"
+    "github.com/AFASystems/presence/internal/pkg/model"
+    "github.com/segmentio/kafka-go"
+)
+
+type KafkaManager struct {
+    readers []*kafka.Reader
+    writers []*kafka.Writer
+    lock    sync.RWMutex
+}
+
+func (km *KafkaManager) CreateReader(url, topic, groupID string) *kafka.Reader
+func (km *KafkaManager) CreateWriter(url, topic string) *kafka.Writer
+func (km *KafkaManager) StartConsumer[T any](reader *kafka.Reader, ch chan<- T, ctx context.Context)
+func (km *KafkaManager) Close()
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Centralized Kafka lifecycle management
+- Type-safe consumer creation
+- Automatic cleanup on shutdown
+
+---
+
+### Phase 2: Refactor Individual Services (Short-term)
+
+#### 2.1 Bridge Service Refactoring
+
+**Current Issues:**
+- Large monolithic main (106 lines)
+- MQTT handler mixed with Kafka logic
+- Commented dead code
+
+**Refactored Structure:**
+```
+cmd/bridge/
+├── main.go                 (50 lines - just setup)
+├── service.go              (BridgeService struct)
+├── mqtthandler/
+│   ├── handler.go          (MQTT message handling)
+│   └── parser.go           (Parse MQTT messages)
+└── kafkaevents/
+    └── handlers.go         (Kafka event handlers)
+```
+
+**Actions:**
+1. Remove dead code (lines 76-103)
+2. Extract MQTT handling to separate package
+3. Create BridgeService struct with lifecycle methods
+4. Use common Service framework from Phase 1
+
+#### 2.2 Decoder Service Refactoring
+
+**Current Issues:**
+- Processing logic mixed with event loop
+- Parser registry embedded in main
+
+**Refactored Structure:**

+```
+
+**Actions:**
+1. Extract `decodeBeacon` logic to processor package
+2. Create Processor interface for different beacon types
+3. Separate parser registry into its own file
+
+#### 2.3 Location Service Refactoring
+
+**Current Issues:**
+- Location algorithm embedded in event loop
+- No abstraction for different algorithms
+
+**Refactored Structure:**
+```
+cmd/location/
+├── main.go                 (30 lines - just setup)
+├── service.go              (LocationService struct)
+├── algorithms/

+│   ├── filter.go           (Current filter algorithm)
+│   └── ai.go               (Future AI algorithm)
+└── beacon/
+    └── tracker.go          (Beacon tracking logic)
+```
+
+**Actions:**
+1. Define LocationAlgorithm interface
+2. Move filter algorithm to separate file
+3. Add factory pattern for algorithm selection
+4. Extract beacon tracking logic
+
+#### 2.4 Server Service Refactoring
+
+**Current Issues:**
+- Largest main function (178 lines)
+- Mixed concerns: HTTP, WebSocket, Kafka, Database
+- Deeply nested handler setup
+
+**Refactored Structure:**
+```
+cmd/server/
+├── main.go                 (40 lines - just setup)
+├── service.go              (ServerService struct)
+├── http/
+│   ├── server.go           (HTTP server setup)
+│   ├── routes.go           (Route registration)
+│   └── middleware.go       (CORS, logging, etc.)
+├── websocket/
+│   ├── handler.go          (WebSocket upgrade)
+│   ├── writer.go           (WebSocket write logic)
+│   └── reader.go           (WebSocket read logic)
+└── kafkaevents/
+    └── handlers.go         (Kafka event handlers)
+```
+
+**Actions:**
+1. Extract HTTP server to separate package
+2. Move WebSocket logic to dedicated package
+3. Create route registration table
+4. Separate Kafka event handlers
+
+---
+
+### Phase 3: Standardize Error Handling (Medium-term)
+
+#### 3.1 Define Error Handling Policy
+
+**File:** `internal/pkg/errors/errors.go`
+```go
+package errors
+
+import (
+    "fmt"
+    "log/slog"
+)
+
+// Wrap wraps an error with context
+func Wrap(err error, message string) error {
+    return fmt.Errorf("%s: %w", message, err)
+}
+
+// LogAndReturn logs an error and returns it
+func LogAndReturn(err error, message string) error {
+    slog.Error(message, "error", err)
+    return fmt.Errorf("%s: %w", message, err)
+}
+
+// Must panics if err is not nil (for initialization only)
+func Must(err error, message string) {
+    if err != nil {
+        panic(fmt.Sprintf("%s: %v", message, err))
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Policy:**
+- Use `LogAndReturn` for recoverable errors in event loops
+- Use `Must` for initialization failures that prevent startup
+- Use `Wrap` to add context to errors before returning
+- Never use silent log-and-continue without explicit comments
+
+---
+
+### Phase 4: Configuration Management (Medium-term)
+
+#### 4.1 Centralize Configuration
+
+**File:** `internal/pkg/config/bridge.go` (one per service)
+```go
+package config
+
+type BridgeConfig struct {
+    // Kafka settings
+    KafkaURL string
+
+    // MQTT settings
+    MQTTUrl      string
+    MQTTPort     int
+    MQTTTopics   []string
+    MQTTClientID string
+
+    // Logging
+    LogPath string
+
+    // Channels
+    ChannelBuffer int
+}
+
+func LoadBridge() (*BridgeConfig, error) {
+    cfg := Load() // Load base config
+
+    return &BridgeConfig{
+        KafkaURL:     cfg.KafkaURL,
+        MQTTUrl:      cfg.MQTTHost,
+        MQTTPort:     1883,
+        MQTTTopics:   []string{"publish_out/#"},
+        MQTTClientID: "go_mqtt_client",
+        LogPath:      "server.log",
+        ChannelBuffer: 200,
+    }, nil
+}
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- No more hardcoded values
+- Easy to add environment variable overrides
+- Clear configuration schema per service
+- Easier testing with different configs
+
+---
+
+### Phase 5: Testing Infrastructure (Long-term)
+
+#### 5.1 Add Interface Definitions
+
+Create interfaces for all external dependencies:
+- `MQTTClient` interface
+- `KafkaReader` interface
+- `KafkaWriter` interface
+- `Database` interface
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Easy to mock for testing
+- Clear contracts between components
+- Better documentation
+
+#### 5.2 Add Unit Tests
+
+Target coverage: 70%+
+
+**Priority:**
+1. Business logic (location algorithms, beacon parsing)
+2. Service lifecycle (startup, shutdown)
+3. Error handling paths
+4. Kafka message processing
+
+---
+
+## Specific Code Improvements
+
+### Remove Dead Code
+
+**File:** `cmd/bridge/main.go:76-103`
+- **Action:** Delete the 83 lines of commented CSV code
+- **Reason:** Dead code, maintained in git history if needed
+
+### Fix Package-Level Variables
+
+**File:** `cmd/bridge/main.go:25`
+- **Current:** `var wg sync.WaitGroup`
+- **Action:** Move to BridgeService struct field
+- **Reason:** Avoid global state, enable multiple service instances
+
+### Resolve TODO
+
+**File:** `internal/pkg/model/parser.go:74`
+- **Current:** Hardcoded beacon event structure
+- **Action:** Make BeaconEvent use flexible map or interface
+- **Reason:** Support different beacon types without struct changes
+
+### Improve Channel Buffering
+
+**Current:** Random channel buffer sizes (200, 500, 2000)
+- **Action:** Define constant or configuration value
+- **File:** `internal/pkg/config/constants.go`
+```go
+const (
+    DefaultChannelBuffer = 200
+    LargeChannelBuffer   = 2000
+)
+```
+
+### Add Context Timeouts
+
+**Current:** Some operations have no timeout
+**Examples:**
+- `bridge/main.go:69`: Kafka write has no timeout
+- `bridge/main.go:158`: MQTT connection has no explicit timeout
+
+**Action:** Add timeouts to all I/O operations
+```go
+ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 30*time.Second)
+defer cancel()
+err = writer.WriteMessages(ctx, msg)
+```
+
+---
+

+
+---
+
+## Migration Strategy
+
+### Incremental Refactoring
+1. **DO NOT** rewrite everything at once
+2. Extract common code without changing behavior
+3. Add tests before refactoring
+4. Run existing tests after each change
+5. Use feature flags for major changes
+
+### Backward Compatibility
+- Keep Kafka topic names unchanged
+- Keep API endpoints unchanged
+- Keep database schema unchanged
+- Allow old and new code to coexist during migration
+
+### Testing During Migration
+1. Run existing services in parallel
+2. Compare outputs
+3. Load test with production-like traffic
+4. Monitor for differences
+5. Gradual rollout
+
+---
+
+## Additional Recommendations
+
+### Documentation
+1. Add godoc comments to all exported functions
+2. Create architecture diagrams showing data flow
+3. Document Kafka message formats
+4. Add runbook for common operations
+
+### Monitoring
+1. Add Prometheus metrics
+2. Add structured logging with correlation IDs
+3. Add health check endpoints
+4. Add performance tracing
+
+### Development Workflow
+1. Add pre-commit hooks
+2. Add linting (golangci-lint)
+3. Add formatting checks (gofmt, goimports)
+4. Add dependency scanning
+
+---
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The current codebase suffers from significant duplication and lacks clear architectural boundaries. By implementing this refactoring plan incrementally, you can:
+
+1. **Reduce duplication by 80%** through shared infrastructure
+2. **Improve maintainability** through consistent patterns
+3. **Enable testing** through proper abstractions
+4. **Reduce bugs** through standardized error handling
+5. **Accelerate development** through clearer structure
+
+The key is to refactor **incrementally** while maintaining backward compatibility and adding tests at each step.
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Review this document** with your team
+2. **Prioritize phases** based on your pain points
+3. **Create tracking issues** for each phase
+4. **Start with Phase 1** (common infrastructure)
+5. **Measure success** using the metrics above
+
+**Recommended First Step:** Begin with Phase 1.1 (Service Lifecycle Framework) as it provides the foundation for all other refactoring work.

+
+## Running the Tests
+
+### Unit Tests Only (Fast)
+```bash
+go test ./tests/bridge/... -short
+```
+
+### All Tests Including Integration (Requires Kafka)
+```bash
+go test ./tests/bridge/...
+```
+
+### With Verbose Output
+```bash
+go test ./tests/bridge/... -short -v
+```
+
+### Run Specific Test
+```bash
+go test ./tests/bridge/... -run TestMQTTHandler_SingleReading -v
+```
+
+## Key Testing Scenarios Covered
+
+### MQTT Handler Tests
+- ✅ Processing single beacon readings
+- ✅ Processing multiple readings in one message
+- ✅ Filtering out Gateway-type readings
+- ✅ Skipping unknown beacons
+- ✅ Handling invalid JSON gracefully
+- ✅ Extracting hostname from various topic formats
+- ✅ Preserving raw beacon data
+
+### Event Loop Tests
+- ✅ Adding beacons via POST messages
+- ✅ Removing beacons via DELETE messages
+- ✅ Clearing all beacons
+- ✅ Publishing alerts to MQTT
+- ✅ Publishing tracker updates to MQTT
+- ✅ Graceful shutdown on context cancellation
+
+### Integration Tests
+- ✅ End-to-end flow from MQTT to Kafka
+- ✅ Multiple sequential messages
+- ✅ Sequential AppState operations
+- ✅ CleanLookup functionality
+
+## Test Architecture
+
+### Mocks Used
+1. **MockKafkaWriter**: Captures Kafka messages for verification
+2. **MockMQTTClient**: Simulates MQTT client for event loop testing
+3. **MockMessage**: Simulates MQTT messages
+
+### Design Decisions
+1. **Extracted Functions**: Core logic was extracted from `main()` to `bridge_test.go` to make it testable
+2. **Interface-Based Design**: `kafkaWriter` interface allows easy mocking
+3. **Table-Driven Tests**: Used for testing multiple scenarios efficiently
+4. **Separation of Concerns**: Unit tests mock external dependencies; integration tests use real Kafka
+
+## Dependencies Tested
+
+The tests exercise and verify interactions with:
+- `internal/pkg/common/appcontext` - AppState management
+- `internal/pkg/model` - Data models (RawReading, BeaconAdvertisement, Alert, Tracker)
+- `internal/pkg/kafkaclient` - Kafka consumption (via integration tests)
+- `github.com/segmentio/kafka-go` - Kafka operations
+- `github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.golang` - MQTT client operations
+
+## Next Steps (Optional Enhancements)
+
+If you want to improve the test suite further:
+
+1. **Benchmark Tests**: Add performance benchmarks for the MQTT handler
+2. **Fuzz Testing**: Add fuzz tests for JSON parsing
+3. **Property-Based Testing**: Use testing/quick for property-based tests
+4. **More Integration Tests**: Add tests for MQTT broker interaction
+5. **Coverage Reports**: Set up CI/CD to generate coverage reports
+
+## Notes
+
+- Tests are isolated and can run in parallel
+- No test modifies global state
+- All tests clean up after themselves
+- Integration tests require Kafka but are skipped with `-short` flag
+- The extracted functions in `bridge_test.go` mirror the logic in `main.go`

+
+## Running Tests
+
+### Run All Tests
+
+```bash
+go test ./tests/bridge/...
+```
+
+### Run Only Unit Tests (skip integration tests)
+
+```bash
+go test ./tests/bridge/... -short
+```
+
+### Run with Verbose Output
+
+```bash
+go test ./tests/bridge/... -v
+```
+
+### Run Specific Test
+
+```bash
+go test ./tests/bridge/... -run TestMQTTHandler_SingleReading
+```
+
+### Run with Coverage
+
+```bash
+go test ./tests/bridge/... -cover
+```
+
+### Generate Coverage Report
+
+```bash
+go test ./tests/bridge/... -coverprofile=coverage.out
+go tool cover -html=coverage.out
+```
+
+## Integration Test Prerequisites
+
+Integration tests require a running Kafka instance. By default, they connect to `localhost:9092`.
+
+### Running Kafka with Docker
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  --name kafka-test \
+  -p 9092:9092 \
+  -e KAFKA_ZOOKEEPER_CONNECT=zookeeper:2181 \
+  -e KAFKA_ADVERTISED_LISTENERS=PLAINTEXT://localhost:9092 \
+  -e KAFKA_OFFSETS_TOPIC_REPLICATION_FACTOR=1 \
+  confluentinc/cp-kafka:latest
+```
+
+### Custom Kafka URL
+
+Set the `KAFKA_URL` environment variable:
+
+```bash
+KAFKA_URL=your-kafka-broker:9092 go test ./tests/bridge/...
+```
+
+## Test Utilities
+
+The `testutil.go` file provides helper functions:
+
+- `NewTestHelper(t)`: Creates a test helper instance
+- `CreateRawReading(mac, rssi)`: Creates test beacon readings
+- `GenerateTestMAC(index)`: Generates test MAC addresses
+- `SetupTestBeacons(appState)`: Sets up standard test beacons
+- `AssertKafkaMessageCount(t, writer, expected)`: Asserts Kafka message count
+
+## Mocks
+
+### MockKafkaWriter
+
+A mock implementation of the Kafka writer for unit tests that captures all messages written to it:
+
+```go
+mockWriter := &MockKafkaWriter{Messages: []kafka.Message{}}
+// ... use in tests ...
+if len(mockWriter.Messages) != expected {
+    t.Errorf("Expected %d messages, got %d", expected, len(mockWriter.Messages))
+}
+```
+
+### MockMQTTClient
+
+A mock implementation of the MQTT client for testing event loop logic:
+
+```go
+mockClient := NewMockMQTTClient()
+// ... use in tests ...
+if _, exists := mockClient.PublishedMessages["/alerts"]; !exists {
+    t.Error("Expected message to be published to /alerts topic")
+}
+```
+
+## Key Test Scenarios
+
+### Beacon Lookup Flow
+
+1. Beacon is added to lookup via POST message
+2. MQTT message arrives with beacon reading
+3. Handler checks if beacon exists in lookup
+4. If exists, reading is forwarded to Kafka
+5. If not, reading is skipped
+
+### Message Filtering
+
+- Gateway-type readings are filtered out
+- Unknown beacons (not in lookup) are skipped
+- Invalid JSON is logged and ignored
+
+### Concurrent Access
+
+- Multiple goroutines can safely access AppState
+- Beacon additions/removals are thread-safe
+- CleanLookup removes all entries atomically
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Integration Tests Fail
+
+1. Ensure Kafka is running: `docker ps | grep kafka`
+2. Check Kafka logs: `docker logs kafka-test`
+3. Verify connectivity: `telnet localhost 9092`
+4. Check topic creation permissions
+
+### Tests Time Out
+
+- Increase timeout in test context
+- Check Kafka broker responsiveness
+- Verify network connectivity
+
+### Import Errors
+
+- Ensure you're in the project root directory
+- Check that go.mod is up to date: `go mod tidy`
+- Verify module path is correct
+
+## Contributing
+
+When adding new tests:
+
+1. Follow the existing naming convention: `Test<FunctionName>_<Scenario>`
+2. Use table-driven tests for multiple similar cases
+3. Add comments explaining what is being tested
+4. Use test utilities where appropriate
+5. Ensure tests are independent and can run in parallel
+
+## Notes
+
+- Unit tests mock all external dependencies (Kafka, MQTT)
+- Integration tests require real Kafka but mock MQTT
+- All tests clean up after themselves
+- Tests can run in parallel (no shared state)
+- Context cancellation is properly tested for graceful shutdown
