## VanJS Patterns

### Component Structure
```javascript
import van from 'vanjs-core';
const { div, button, span } = van.tags;

export default function MyComponent({ prop }) {
  const localState = van.state(initialValue);

  return div({ class: "my-component" },
    // Reactive class binding
    div({ class: () => `item ${localState.val ? 'active' : ''}` },
      span(prop.name)
    ),
    // Event handlers
    button({ onclick: () => localState.val = !localState.val }, "Toggle")
  );
}
```

### MLS Integration Pattern
```javascript
import coreCryptoClient from '../services/mls/coreCryptoClient.js';
import messagingStore from '../stores/messagingStore.js';

// Initialize MLS on login
await coreCryptoClient.ensureMlsBootstrap(String(userId));
messagingStore.setMlsInitialized(true);

// Send encrypted message
await coreCryptoClient.sendMessage(groupId, plaintext);

// Real-time message handling
coreCryptoClient.onMessage((message) => {
  if (message.type === 'application' && message.plaintext) {
    messagingStore.addMlsMessage(message.groupId, {
      plaintext: message.plaintext,
      senderId: message.senderId,
      timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
    });
  }
});
```

### Socket.io Pattern
```javascript
import socketService from '../services/socket.js';

// Join MLS room for real-time messages
socketService.emit('join-mls');

// Listen for encrypted messages
socketService.on('mls-message', async (data) => {
  const decrypted = await coreCryptoClient.decryptMessage(
    data.groupId,
    data.ciphertext
  );
  // Handle decrypted message
});
```

## Key Components

### Messages.js (MLS-only)
- Group list sidebar with lock icons
- Create group form
- Invite user to group
- Real-time encrypted messaging
- Message input with Enter-to-send

### Store Pattern (messagingStore.js)
```javascript
const messagingStore = {
  mlsInitialized: false,
  mlsGroups: [],
  selectedMlsGroupId: null,
  currentMlsMessages: [],

  setMlsInitialized(val) { this.mlsInitialized = val; },
  addMlsMessage(groupId, msg) { /* ... */ }
};
```

## UI/UX Principles

1. **Mobile-first**: Bottom nav on mobile, sidebar on desktop
2. **E2EE indicator**: Lock icons for encrypted groups
3. **Real-time feedback**: Instant message updates via Socket.io
4. **Loading states**: Show "Initializing MLS..." during bootstrap

## Handoff Protocol

Receive from:
- **Architect**: API contracts, data flow specs
- **E2EE**: MLS integration requirements

Hand off to:
- **Backend**: When API changes needed
- **E2EE**: When MLS issues arise
- **Test**: When E2E tests needed
