Implemented complete WebRTC peer-to-peer file transfer system for match chat:
**Core WebRTC Implementation:**
- Created useWebRTC hook with RTCPeerConnection and RTCDataChannel
- P2P file transfer with 16KB chunking for large files (tested up to 700MB)
- Real-time progress monitoring for sender and receiver
- Automatic file download on receiver side
- End-to-end encryption via DTLS (native WebRTC)
- ICE candidate exchange via Socket.IO signaling
- Support for host candidates (localhost testing)
**WebRTC Detection & User Experience:**
- Automatic WebRTC capability detection on page load
- Detects if ICE candidates can be generated (fails in Opera, privacy-focused browsers, VPNs)
- User-friendly warning component with fix suggestions
- Graceful degradation: disables WebRTC button when blocked
- Suggests alternative methods (video links via Google Drive/Dropbox)
**Socket.IO Improvements:**
- Fixed multiple socket instance creation issue
- Implemented socket instance reuse pattern
- Disabled React.StrictMode to prevent reconnection loops in development
**Technical Details:**
- RTCPeerConnection with configurable STUN servers (currently using localhost config)
- RTCDataChannel with ordered delivery
- Comprehensive logging for debugging (ICE gathering, connection states, signaling)
- Match room-based signaling relay via Socket.IO
- Authorization checks for all WebRTC signaling events
**Files Changed:**
- frontend/src/hooks/useWebRTC.js - Complete WebRTC implementation
- frontend/src/utils/webrtcDetection.js - WebRTC capability detection
- frontend/src/components/WebRTCWarning.jsx - User warning component
- frontend/src/pages/MatchChatPage.jsx - WebRTC integration
- frontend/src/services/socket.js - Socket instance reuse
- frontend/src/main.jsx - Disabled StrictMode for Socket.IO stability
**Testing:**
- ✅ Verified working in Chrome (ICE candidates generated)
- ✅ Tested with 700MB file transfer
- ✅ Detection working in Opera (shows warning when WebRTC blocked)
- ✅ P2P connection establishment and DataChannel opening
- ✅ File chunking and progress monitoring
**TODO:**
- Add STUN server configuration for production (NAT traversal)
- Consider server-based upload fallback for blocked users
- Docker Compose setup with nginx reverse proxy and frontend service
- React + Vite + Tailwind CSS configuration
- Complete mockup of all application views:
- Authentication (login/register)
- Events list and selection
- Event chat with matchmaking
- 1:1 private chat with WebRTC P2P video transfer mockup
- Partner rating system
- Collaboration history
- Mock data for users, events, messages, matches, and ratings
- All UI text and messages in English
- Project documentation (CONTEXT.md, TODO.md, README.md, QUICKSTART.md)
