- `CRDTManager` at `src/lib/collaboration/crdt.ts` wraps a Yjs Y.Doc with Y.Map<string> for nodes and edges. Connects to Supabase Realtime channel for broadcasting updates.
- CRDT sync pattern: local React Flow changes → `updateNodes`/`updateEdges` on CRDTManager → Yjs broadcasts to channel; remote broadcasts → Yjs applies update → callbacks set React Flow state. Use `isRemoteUpdateRef` to prevent echo loops.
- For Supabase Realtime broadcast of binary data (Yjs updates), convert `Uint8Array` → `Array.from()` for JSON payload, and `new Uint8Array()` on receive.
- For ephemeral real-time data (cursors, typing indicators), use Supabase Realtime broadcast (`channel.send({ type: 'broadcast', event, payload })`) + `.on('broadcast', { event }, callback)` — not persistence-backed
- `RemoteCursors` at `src/components/editor/RemoteCursors.tsx` renders collaborator cursors on canvas. Uses `useViewport()` to transform flow→screen coordinates. Throttle broadcasts to 50ms via timestamp ref.

- After successful password update, sign out the user and redirect to login with success message (same as reset-password page)
- The modal coexists with the existing /reset-password page - both handle recovery tokens but in different UX patterns

## 2026-01-23 - US-047
- What was implemented: Live cursor positions on canvas showing collaborators' mouse positions in real-time
- Files changed:
- `src/lib/collaboration/realtime.ts` - Added `CursorPosition`, `RemoteCursor` types, `onCursorUpdate` callback to `RealtimeCallbacks`, broadcast listener for 'cursor' events, and `broadcastCursor()` method
- `src/components/editor/RemoteCursors.tsx` - New component: renders colored arrow cursors with user name labels, smooth position interpolation via CSS transition, 5-second fade-out for inactive cursors, flow-to-screen coordinate transformation using React Flow viewport
- `src/app/editor/[projectId]/FlowchartEditor.tsx` - Added `remoteCursors` state, `cursorThrottleRef` for 50ms throttling, `handleMouseMove` that converts screen→flow coordinates and broadcasts via RealtimeConnection, cleanup of cursors for disconnected users, rendering of RemoteCursors overlay
- `src/app/editor/[projectId]/page.tsx` - Fixed broken JSX structure (malformed HTML nesting and dead code after return)
- **Learnings for future iterations:**
- `screenToFlowPosition` from `useReactFlow()` converts screen-relative mouse coordinates to flow coordinates; for the reverse (rendering cursors), multiply by viewport.zoom and add viewport offset
- Cursor broadcast uses Supabase Realtime broadcast (not presence) for efficiency: `channel.send({ type: 'broadcast', event: 'cursor', payload })`. Broadcast is fire-and-forget (no persistence).
- React Compiler lint treats `Date.now()` as an impure function call — use `useState(() => Date.now())` lazy initializer pattern instead of `useState(Date.now())`
- Throttling mouse events uses a ref storing the last broadcast timestamp (`cursorThrottleRef`), checked at the start of the handler before computing flow position
- Remote cursors are removed when their user disconnects (filtered by `presenceUsers` list changes)
- CSS `transition: transform 80ms linear` provides smooth interpolation between position updates without needing requestAnimationFrame
- The `page.tsx` had a corrupted structure with unclosed tags and dead code — likely from a failed merge. Fixed by restructuring the error/not-found case into a proper early return
- No browser testing tools are available; manual verification is needed.
