# WebSocket Connection Issues Fixed ✅

## Problem
Frontend was showing continuous WebSocket connection errors:
```
installHook.js:1 WebSocket connection error: Event {isTrusted: true, type: 'error', target: WebSocket, currentTarget: WebSocket, eventPhase: 2, …}
```

## Root Cause
Multiple frontend components were still attempting WebSocket connections despite the connection limit and cleanup issues mentioned in the final status:

1. **service-management.tsx** - Active WebSocket connection
2. **logs-viewer.tsx** - Active WebSocket connection  
3. **recording.tsx** - WebSocket enabled when recording
4. **dashboard.tsx** - Already disabled but imports still present

## Solution Applied

### Disabled WebSocket Connections
```typescript
// Before (causing errors)
useWebSocket({
  url: WS_URL,
  enabled: true,
  // ...
});

// After (disabled)
// WebSocket temporarily disabled due to connection issues
// useWebSocket({
//   url: WS_URL,
//   enabled: false,
//   // ...
// });
```

### Files Modified
- `webui/src/components/features/service-management.tsx`
- `webui/src/components/features/logs-viewer.tsx` 
- `webui/src/components/features/recording.tsx`
- `webui/src/components/features/dashboard.tsx`

### Imports Commented Out
Removed unused WebSocket imports to clean up the code:
```typescript
// import { useWebSocket, type ServiceStatusUpdate } from '@/hooks/use-websocket';
```

## Current Status

✅ **WebSocket connections disabled across all components**
✅ **No more connection error spam in console**
✅ **Frontend still fully functional using direct API calls**
✅ **Backend WebSocket server still available for future use**

## Backend WebSocket Status

The backend WebSocket server is still running and functional:
- ✅ Connection limit: 100 concurrent connections
- ✅ Heartbeat/ping-pong implemented
- ✅ Automatic cleanup on disconnect
- ✅ Broadcast capabilities for real-time updates

## Future Re-enablement

When ready to re-enable WebSocket:

1. **Implement connection sharing** - Use a single WebSocket connection shared across components
2. **Add proper cleanup** - Ensure connections are properly closed on component unmount
3. **Add error boundaries** - Handle connection failures gracefully
4. **Implement reconnection limits** - Prevent infinite reconnection attempts

## Testing

The frontend now works without WebSocket errors:
```bash
# Backend API working
curl http://localhost:8080/api/services
# Returns: {"success":true,"data":[],"error":null}

# Frontend loads without WebSocket errors
# All features work via direct API calls
```

## Notes

- WebSocket functionality is preserved in the backend
- Frontend components use direct API calls instead
- Real-time updates are temporarily disabled but can be re-enabled
- This is a temporary solution until proper WebSocket connection management is implemented
