## Part 1: Critical Improvements (Start Immediately)

### 1.1 Performance Optimization

#### 1.1.1 Database Query Optimization

**Current Issues**:
- N+1 queries in document list endpoint
- Missing indexes on commonly filtered fields
- Inefficient JOIN operations
- Slow full-text search on large datasets

**Proposed Solutions**:

```python
# BEFORE (N+1 problem)
def list_documents(request):
    documents = Document.objects.all()
    for doc in documents:
        correspondent_name = doc.correspondent.name  # Extra query each time
        doc_type_name = doc.document_type.name      # Extra query each time

# AFTER (Optimized)
def list_documents(request):
    documents = Document.objects.select_related(
        'correspondent',
        'document_type',
        'storage_path',
        'owner'
    ).prefetch_related(
        'tags',
        'custom_fields'
    ).all()
```

**Database Migrations Needed**:

```python
# Migration: Add composite indexes
class Migration(migrations.Migration):
    operations = [
        migrations.AddIndex(
            model_name='document',
            index=models.Index(
                fields=['correspondent', 'created'],
                name='doc_corr_created_idx'
            )
        ),
        migrations.AddIndex(
            model_name='document',
            index=models.Index(
                fields=['document_type', 'created'],
                name='doc_type_created_idx'
            )
        ),
        migrations.AddIndex(
            model_name='document',
            index=models.Index(
                fields=['owner', 'created'],
                name='doc_owner_created_idx'
            )
        ),
        # Full-text search optimization
        migrations.RunSQL(
            "CREATE INDEX doc_content_idx ON documents_document " 
            "USING gin(to_tsvector('english', content));"
        ),
    ]
```

**Expected Results**:
- 5-10x faster document list queries
- 3-5x faster search queries
- Reduced database CPU usage by 40-60%

**Implementation Time**: 1 week

#### 1.1.2 Caching Strategy

**Redis Caching Implementation**:

```python
# documents/caching.py
from django.core.cache import cache
from django.db.models.signals import post_save, post_delete
from functools import wraps

def cache_document_metadata(timeout=3600):
    """Cache document metadata for 1 hour"""
    def decorator(func):
        @wraps(func)
        def wrapper(document_id, *args, **kwargs):
            cache_key = f'doc_metadata_{document_id}'
            result = cache.get(cache_key)
            if result is None:
                result = func(document_id, *args, **kwargs)
                cache.set(cache_key, result, timeout)
            return result
        return wrapper
    return decorator

# Invalidate cache on document changes
@receiver(post_save, sender=Document)
def invalidate_document_cache(sender, instance, **kwargs):
    cache_keys = [
        f'doc_metadata_{instance.id}',
        f'doc_thumbnail_{instance.id}',
        f'doc_preview_{instance.id}',
    ]
    cache.delete_many(cache_keys)

# Cache correspondent/tag lists (rarely change)
def get_correspondent_list():
    cache_key = 'correspondent_list'
    result = cache.get(cache_key)
    if result is None:
        result = list(Correspondent.objects.all().values('id', 'name'))
        cache.set(cache_key, result, 3600 * 24)  # 24 hours
    return result
```

**Configuration**:

```python
# settings.py
CACHES = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'django_redis.cache.RedisCache',
        'LOCATION': 'redis://redis:6379/1',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'CLIENT_CLASS': 'django_redis.client.DefaultClient',
            'PARSER_CLASS': 'redis.connection.HiredisParser',
            'CONNECTION_POOL_CLASS_KWARGS': {
                'max_connections': 50,
            }
        },
        'KEY_PREFIX': 'intellidocs',
        'TIMEOUT': 3600,
    }
}
```

**Expected Results**:
- 10x faster metadata queries
- 50% reduction in database load
- Better scalability for concurrent users

**Implementation Time**: 1 week

#### 1.1.3 Frontend Performance

**Lazy Loading and Code Splitting**:

```typescript
// app-routing.module.ts - Implement lazy loading
const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'documents',
    loadChildren: () => import('./documents/documents.module')
      .then(m => m.DocumentsModule)
  },
  {
    path: 'settings',
    loadChildren: () => import('./settings/settings.module')
      .then(m => m.SettingsModule)
  },
  // ... other routes
];
```

**Virtual Scrolling for Large Lists**:

```typescript
// document-list.component.ts
import { ScrollingModule } from '@angular/cdk/scrolling';

@Component({
  template: `
    <cdk-virtual-scroll-viewport itemSize="100" class="document-list">
      <div *cdkVirtualFor="let document of documents" class="document-item">
        <app-document-card [document]="document"></app-document-card>
      </div>
    </cdk-virtual-scroll-viewport>
  `
})
export class DocumentListComponent {
  // Only renders visible items + buffer
}
```

**Image Optimization**:

```typescript
// Add WebP thumbnail support
getOptimizedThumbnailUrl(documentId: number): string {
  // Check browser WebP support
  if (this.supportsWebP()) {
    return `/api/documents/${documentId}/thumb/?format=webp`;
  }
  return `/api/documents/${documentId}/thumb/`;
}

// Progressive loading
loadThumbnail(documentId: number): void {
  // Load low-quality placeholder first
  this.thumbnailUrl = `/api/documents/${documentId}/thumb/?quality=10`;
  
  // Then load high-quality version
  const img = new Image();
  img.onload = () => {
    this.thumbnailUrl = `/api/documents/${documentId}/thumb/?quality=85`;
  };
  img.src = `/api/documents/${documentId}/thumb/?quality=85`;
}
```

**Expected Results**:
- 50% faster initial page load (2-4s → 1-2s)
- 60% smaller bundle size
- Smooth scrolling with 10,000+ documents

**Implementation Time**: 1 week

### 1.2 Security Hardening

#### 1.2.1 Implement Document Encryption at Rest

**Purpose**: Protect sensitive documents from unauthorized access.

**Implementation**:

```python
# documents/encryption.py
from cryptography.fernet import Fernet
from django.conf import settings
import base64

class DocumentEncryption:
    """Handle document encryption/decryption"""
    
    def __init__(self):
        # Key should be stored in secure key management system
        self.cipher = Fernet(settings.DOCUMENT_ENCRYPTION_KEY)
    
    def encrypt_file(self, file_path: str) -> str:
        """Encrypt a document file"""
        with open(file_path, 'rb') as f:
            plaintext = f.read()
        
        ciphertext = self.cipher.encrypt(plaintext)
        
        encrypted_path = f"{file_path}.encrypted"
        with open(encrypted_path, 'wb') as f:
            f.write(ciphertext)
        
        return encrypted_path
    
    def decrypt_file(self, encrypted_path: str, output_path: str = None):
        """Decrypt a document file"""
        with open(encrypted_path, 'rb') as f:
            ciphertext = f.read()
        
        plaintext = self.cipher.decrypt(ciphertext)
        
        if output_path:
            with open(output_path, 'wb') as f:
                f.write(plaintext)
            return output_path
        
        return plaintext
    
    def decrypt_stream(self, encrypted_path: str):
        """Decrypt file as a stream for serving"""
        import io
        plaintext = self.decrypt_file(encrypted_path)
        return io.BytesIO(plaintext)

# Integrate into consumer
class Consumer:
    def _write(self, document, path, ...):
        # ... existing code ...
        
        if settings.ENABLE_DOCUMENT_ENCRYPTION:
            encryption = DocumentEncryption()
            # Encrypt original file
            encrypted_path = encryption.encrypt_file(source_path)
            os.rename(encrypted_path, source_path)
            
            # Encrypt archive file
            if archive_path:
                encrypted_archive = encryption.encrypt_file(archive_path)
                os.rename(encrypted_archive, archive_path)
```

**Configuration**:

```python
# settings.py
ENABLE_DOCUMENT_ENCRYPTION = get_env_bool('PAPERLESS_ENABLE_ENCRYPTION', False)
DOCUMENT_ENCRYPTION_KEY = os.environ.get('PAPERLESS_ENCRYPTION_KEY')

# Key rotation support
DOCUMENT_ENCRYPTION_KEY_VERSION = get_env_int('PAPERLESS_ENCRYPTION_KEY_VERSION', 1)
```

**Key Management**:

```bash
# Generate encryption key
python manage.py generate_encryption_key

# Rotate keys (re-encrypt all documents)
python manage.py rotate_encryption_key --old-key-version 1 --new-key-version 2
```

**Expected Results**:
- Documents protected at rest
- Compliance with GDPR, HIPAA requirements
- Minimal performance impact (<5% overhead)

**Implementation Time**: 2 weeks

        for pattern, (l, w) in rate_limits.items():
            if path.startswith(pattern):
                limit, window = l, w
                break
        
        # Check cache
        cache_key = f'rate_limit_{identifier}_{path}'
        current = cache.get(cache_key, 0)
        
        if current >= limit:
            return False
        
        # Increment counter
        cache.set(cache_key, current + 1, window)
        return True

        self.document_embeddings = {}
    
    def index_document(self, document_id, text):
        """Create embedding for document"""
        embedding = self.model.encode(text, convert_to_tensor=True)
        self.document_embeddings[document_id] = embedding

        """Search documents by semantic similarity"""
        query_embedding = self.model.encode(query, convert_to_tensor=True)
        
        # Calculate similarities
        similarities = []
        for doc_id, doc_embedding in self.document_embeddings.items():
            similarity = util.cos_sim(query_embedding, doc_embedding).item()
            similarities.append((doc_id, similarity))

        similarities.sort(key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)
        
        return similarities[:top_k]
```

**Expected Results**:
- 40-60% improvement in classification accuracy

// MobileApp/src/screens/DocumentScanner.tsx
import { Camera } from 'react-native-vision-camera';
import DocumentScanner from 'react-native-document-scanner-plugin';

export const DocumentScannerScreen = () => {
  const scanDocument = async () => {
    const { scannedImages } = await DocumentScanner.scanDocument({
      maxNumDocuments: 1,
      letUserAdjustCrop: true,
      croppedImageQuality: 100,
    });
    
    if (scannedImages && scannedImages.length > 0) {
      // Upload to IntelliDocs
      await uploadDocument(scannedImages[0]);
    }
  };
  
  return (
    <View>
      <Button onPress={scanDocument} title="Scan Document" />
    </View>
  );
};

// Offline support
import AsyncStorage from '@react-native-async-storage/async-storage';
import NetInfo from '@react-native-community/netinfo';

export const DocumentService = {
  uploadDocument: async (file: File) => {
    const isConnected = await NetInfo.fetch().then(
      state => state.isConnected
    );
    
    if (!isConnected) {
      // Queue for later
      const queue = await AsyncStorage.getItem('upload_queue') || '[]';
      const queueData = JSON.parse(queue);
      queueData.push({ file, timestamp: Date.now() });
      await AsyncStorage.setItem('upload_queue', JSON.stringify(queueData));
      return { queued: true };

# API endpoints
class DocumentCommentViewSet(viewsets.ModelViewSet):
    def create(self, request, document_pk=None):
        """Add comment to document"""
        comment = DocumentComment.objects.create(

        )
        
        # Notify other users
        notify_document_comment(comment)
        
        return Response(CommentSerializer(comment).data)
```

**Frontend**:
```typescript
// annotation.component.ts
export class AnnotationComponent {
  annotations: Annotation[] = [];
  
  addHighlight(selection: Selection) {
    const range = selection.getRangeAt(0);
    const rect = range.getBoundingClientRect();
    
    const annotation: Annotation = {
      type: 'highlight',
      pageNumber: this.currentPage,
      x: rect.left,
      y: rect.top,
      width: rect.width,
      height: rect.height,
      color: '#FFFF00',
      text: selection.toString()
