## 🔄 Cross-File Communication Analysis

### ❌ Missing Data Synchronization

**Current Issues:**
1. **No shared state management** between HTML files
2. **No event-driven updates** when data changes
3. **No localStorage synchronization** for cross-page data
4. **No real-time updates** between dashboard and other pages

**Example Scenario:**
- User uploads file in `upload.html`
- File appears in database
- `documents.html` and `improved_legal_dashboard.html` don't automatically refresh
- User must manually refresh pages to see updates

### 🔧 Required Fixes

#### 1. Shared Core Module
```javascript
// core.js - Shared data management
class DashboardCore {
    constructor() {
        this.eventBus = new EventTarget();
        this.cache = new Map();
    }
    
    // Broadcast events across pages
    broadcast(eventName, data) {
        this.eventBus.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent(eventName, { detail: data }));
    }
    
    // Listen for cross-page events
    listen(eventName, callback) {
        this.eventBus.addEventListener(eventName, callback);
    }
}
```

#### 2. Cross-Page Event System
```javascript
// When file is uploaded in upload.html
dashboardCore.broadcast('documentUploaded', { fileId, fileName });

// Listen in documents.html and dashboard.html
dashboardCore.listen('documentUploaded', (event) => {
    refreshDocumentList();
    updateDashboardStats();
});
```

- **Loading states** for API calls
- **Error boundaries** in API client
- **Fallback data** for offline scenarios

### ❌ Missing Features
- **No retry mechanisms** for failed API calls
- **No offline mode** with cached data
- **No graceful degradation** for missing endpoints
- **No user-friendly error messages** for Persian users
