- Automatic registration via Framework's Discovery System
- Server-side rendering with client-side hydration
- Template processor integration

**Architecture Pattern**:
```php
#[LiveComponent(name: 'UserCard')]
final class UserCard implements LiveComponentProtocol
{
    public function mount(array $props): ComponentState
    {
        return new ComponentState(['user' => $props['user']]);
    }

    public function render(ComponentState $state): string

            'name' => $props['userName'],
            'status' => 'online'
        ]);

        return new ComponentState(['messages' => []]);
    }
}
```

### Phase 5: Tooling & Observability ✅

**Components**:

$profiler->profileResolve($session, fn() => $this->resolve());
$profiler->takeMemorySnapshot($session, 'after-resolve');
$profiler->profileRender($session, fn() => $this->render());
$profiler->profileAction($session, 'submit', fn() => $this->submit());

$result = $profiler->endSession($session);
$timeline = $profiler->getTimeline();
$devtools = $timeline->generateDevToolsTimeline($result);
```

## Integration with Framework

### Discovery System
```php
// Automatic component registration via Discovery
#[LiveComponent(name: 'UserCard')]
final class UserCard implements LiveComponentProtocol
{
    // Automatically discovered and registered
}
```

### Telemetry Integration
```php
// Uses Framework's TelemetryService interface
$profiler = new LiveComponentProfiler(
    telemetryService: $container->get(TelemetryService::class),
    metricsCollector: $container->get(ComponentMetricsCollector::class),
    memoryMonitor: $container->get(MemoryMonitor::class)
);
```

### Event System
```php
// Components emit events via Framework's EventDispatcher
$this->eventDispatcher->dispatch(
    new ComponentRenderedEvent($componentId, $duration)
);
```

### Cache System
```php
// Uses Framework's Cache interface
$cache = $container->get(Cache::class);
$cached = $cache->remember(
    key: CacheKey::fromString("component_{$id}"),
    callback: fn() => $this->render(),
    ttl: Duration::fromMinutes(5)
);
```

### Value Objects
```php
// Consistent use of Framework Value Objects
- Timestamp, Duration, Byte (time, duration, memory)
- CacheKey, CacheItem (caching)
- ProfileSessionId (profiling)
- GcStatus, GcResult (GC monitoring)
```

## Usage Examples

### Basic Component

```php
#[LiveComponent(name: 'Counter')]
final class Counter implements LiveComponentProtocol
{
    public function mount(array $props): ComponentState
    {
        return new ComponentState(['count' => 0]);
    }

    public function increment(ComponentState $state): ComponentState
    {
        $count = $state->get('count') + 1;
        return $state->set('count', $count);
    }

    public function render(ComponentState $state): string
    {
        return $this->renderer->render('components/counter', [
            'count' => $state->get('count')
        ]);
    }
}
```

### Advanced Component with Profiling

```php
#[LiveComponent(name: 'DataTable')]
final class DataTable implements LiveComponentProtocol
{
    public function __construct(
        private readonly LiveComponentProfiler $profiler,
        private readonly DataService $dataService
    ) {}

    public function mount(array $props): ComponentState
    {
        $session = $this->profiler->startSession('DataTable');

        $data = $this->profiler->profileResolve($session, function() use ($props) {
            return $this->dataService->fetchData($props['query']);
        });

        $this->profiler->takeMemorySnapshot($session, 'after-data-fetch');

        $result = $this->profiler->endSession($session);

        return new ComponentState([
            'data' => $data,
            'profiling' => $result
        ]);
    }

    public function filter(ComponentState $state, array $filters): ComponentState
    {
        $session = $this->profiler->startSession('DataTable');

        $filtered = $this->profiler->profileAction($session, 'filter', function() use ($state, $filters) {
            $data = $state->get('data');
            return $this->dataService->filterData($data, $filters);
        });

        $result = $this->profiler->endSession($session);

        return $state->set('data', $filtered)
                     ->set('profiling', $result);
    }
}
```

### Live Presence Example

```php
#[LiveComponent(name: 'ChatRoom')]
final class ChatRoom implements LiveComponentProtocol
{
    public function __construct(
        private readonly LivePresence $presence
    ) {}

    public function mount(array $props): ComponentState
    {
        $this->presence->track($props['userId'], [
            'name' => $props['userName'],
            'avatar' => $props['userAvatar'],
            'status' => 'online'
        ]);

        return new ComponentState([
            'messages' => [],
            'onlineUsers' => $this->presence->list()
        ]);
    }

    public function sendMessage(ComponentState $state, string $message): ComponentState
    {
        $this->presence->updateMetadata([
            'lastActivity' => time(),
            'status' => 'typing'
        ]);

        // Process message...

        return $state;
    }

    public function unmount(): void
    {
        $this->presence->untrack();
    }
}
```

## Testing Strategy

### Unit Tests
- **Value Objects**: ProfileSessionId, ProfilePhase, GcStatus, GcResult, MemorySnapshot
- **Core Logic**: State management, diff calculation, cache strategies
- **Utilities**: Timeline generation, metrics calculation

### Integration Tests
- **Component Lifecycle**: mount → render → action → update
- **WebSocket Communication**: Connection, action dispatch, updates
- **Profiling**: Full profiling workflow with telemetry integration
- **Presence**: User tracking, metadata updates, cleanup

### Test Infrastructure
- **SimpleTelemetryService**: Lightweight test implementation of TelemetryService
- **Framework RandomGenerator**: Used for deterministic test IDs
- **Mock Components**: Test component implementations
- **Pest PHP**: Modern testing syntax with describe/it blocks

## Best Practices

### Component Design
✅ **Do**:
- Use immutable ComponentState
- Keep components focused (Single Responsibility)
- Profile performance-critical components
- Implement proper error handling
- Use Value Objects for domain concepts

❌ **Don't**:
- Mutate state directly
- Create god components with too many responsibilities
- Skip profiling for data-heavy components
- Ignore memory usage in long-running components
- Use primitive types for domain concepts

### State Management
✅ **Do**:
- Use `ComponentState::set()` for updates (returns new instance)
- Separate props (immutable) from state (managed)
- Track reactive dependencies
- Cache expensive computations

❌ **Don't**:
- Modify state properties directly
- Mix props and state
- Ignore stale state issues
- Recompute unnecessarily

### Performance
✅ **Do**:
- Profile before optimizing
- Use caching for expensive renders
- Lazy load when appropriate
- Monitor memory usage with GarbageCollectionMonitor
- Use Timeline visualizations to identify bottlenecks

❌ **Don't**:
- Premature optimization
- Cache everything blindly
- Load all components upfront
- Ignore profiling overhead in production

### Testing
✅ **Do**:
- Test component lifecycle
- Use SimpleTelemetryService for unit tests
- Test error scenarios
- Verify state immutability
- Test WebSocket communication flows

❌ **Don't**:
- Skip edge cases
- Use production TelemetryService in unit tests
- Test only happy paths
- Ignore cleanup in tests

## Production Deployment Checklist

### Performance
- [ ] Profile all critical components
- [ ] Optimize render times to <20ms
- [ ] Configure appropriate cache TTLs
- [ ] Set up GarbageCollectionMonitor alerts
- [ ] Enable Timeline export for production debugging

### Monitoring
- [ ] Set up TelemetryService exporters
- [ ] Configure ComponentMetricsCollector
- [ ] Monitor WebSocket connection count
- [ ] Track component error rates
- [ ] Alert on profiling performance degradation

### Scaling
- [ ] Configure WebSocket load balancing
- [ ] Set up distributed cache for ComponentState
- [ ] Plan for horizontal scaling
- [ ] Monitor memory per component instance
- [ ] Set up auto-scaling based on metrics

### Security
- [ ] Validate all component actions
- [ ] Sanitize state data
- [ ] Implement CSRF protection for actions
- [ ] Rate-limit WebSocket connections
- [ ] Audit component permissions

## Known Limitations

### 1. LiveComponentProfiler Not Fully Readonly
**Issue**: `$sessions` array must be mutable for active session tracking

**Impact**: Minor - only affects immutability guarantee

**Mitigation**: Dependencies are readonly, minimizing mutability surface

### 2. WebSocket Scalability
**Issue**: WebSocket connections are stateful and not easily distributed

**Impact**: Requires sticky sessions or shared state for horizontal scaling

**Mitigation**: Use Redis for shared WebSocket state, implement connection pooling

### 3. Client-Side JavaScript Size
**Issue**: LiveComponents JavaScript adds ~50KB (uncompressed)

**Impact**: Minimal - modern applications expect this overhead

**Mitigation**: Lazy load component JavaScript, use code splitting

### 4. GC Monitoring Limitations
**Issue**: GC behavior depends on PHP configuration and runtime

**Impact**: GarbageCollectionMonitor provides metrics but limited control

**Mitigation**: Monitor trends, not absolute values; tune PHP GC settings

## Future Enhancements (Optional)

### Performance
- [ ] Implement virtual DOM diffing on client
- [ ] Add server-side rendering cache warming
- [ ] Optimize WebSocket message compression
- [ ] Implement request/response batching

### Features
- [ ] Add component slots system
- [ ] Implement component composition helpers
- [ ] Add transition/animation support
- [ ] Create component library/registry

### Tooling
- [ ] Build interactive profiling dashboard
- [ ] Add real-time performance overlay
- [ ] Create component inspector DevTool
- [ ] Generate component documentation automatically

### Developer Experience
- [ ] CLI scaffolder for component generation
- [ ] IDE plugins for component development
- [ ] Component playground for testing
- [ ] Performance budget enforcement
