Executive Summary: Phase 2.1B Completion & Roadmap
Date: 2025-01-12 Status: ✅ READY FOR PRODUCTION DEPLOYMENT Overall Progress: 3/7+ Phases Complete (43%)
Quick Overview
What We Built
Phase 2.1B adds enterprise-grade cloud synchronization for Bible reader highlights with:
- ✅ Automatic background sync (every 30 seconds)

- ✅ Intelligent conflict resolution (timestamp-based "last write wins")
- ✅ Offline-first architecture (works without internet, syncs automatically)
- ✅ Real-time status indicators (users see sync progress)
- ✅ Zero data loss (all changes queued until synced)

Conflict Resolution Algorithm
When same highlight edited on 2 devices:
Device A: Changed color to BLUE at timestamp 1000ms
Device B: Changed color to PINK at timestamp 2000ms (NEWER)
Result: PINK wins (Device B's version is newer)
Mark as "synced"
Safety: All versions kept server-side for recovery if needed
