👥 UserSearchScreen (Friend Discovery)

Dual Mode Search: Nearby users + Username search
Smart Friend Management: Send/Accept/View friend requests
Shared Interest Display: Shows count of common activities
Real-time Friendship Status: Pending/Accepted/None indicators
Pull-to-Refresh: Stay updated with latest users

🧭 Navigation Integration

Smart Routing: New users → ProfileSetup → Main App
Profile Completion Detection: Checks for required fields
Gesture Prevention: Can't go back during setup
5-Tab Navigation: Home, Camera, Friends, Map, Profile

🔧 Technical Implementation:

Profile Completion Detection

const isProfileComplete = (user: any): boolean => {
  const hasUsername = user.username && user.username.trim() !== ''
  const hasDisplayName = user.display_name && user.display_name.trim() !== ''
  const isUsernameCustom = user.username && !user.username.startsWith('user_')
  
  return hasUsername && hasDisplayName && isUsernameCustom
}

Database Integration

Uses existing users table for profile data
Uses existing user_activities table for interests
Uses existing friendships table for friend connections
Uses existing Supabase storage for avatar uploads

Photo Upload System

Avatar-focused uploads: Square cropping, optimized for profiles
Reuses existing storage infrastructure: Same bucket, different path structure
Fallback gracefully: Uses emoji if upload fails
Progress indicators: Visual feedback during upload

🎮 User Experience Flow:

New User Journey:

1. User signs up → AuthScreen
2. Profile incomplete → ProfileSetupScreen (4 steps)
3. Setup complete → Main App (5 tabs)
4. Discover friends → Friends tab → UserSearchScreen
5. Build tribe → Map tab shows friends + nearby users

Existing User Journey:

1. User signs in → AuthScreen  
2. Profile complete → Main App directly
3. Access all features immediately

📊 Database Operations:

Profile Setup:

-- Updates users table with profile data
UPDATE users SET 
  username = ?, 
  display_name = ?, 
  bio = ?, 
  avatar = ?
WHERE id = user_id

-- Inserts selected activities
INSERT INTO user_activities (user_id, activity_id, skill_level)
VALUES (?, ?, ?)

Friend Discovery:

-- Searches users with shared interests
SELECT users.*, COUNT(shared_activities) as shared_count
FROM users 
JOIN user_activities ON users.id = user_activities.user_id
WHERE username ILIKE '%query%' OR display_name ILIKE '%query%'

-- Manages friendship status
INSERT INTO friendships (requester_id, addressee_id, status)
VALUES (?, ?, 'pending')

🚨 Troubleshooting:

Common Issues:

"ProfileSetup not showing"

Check user.username is not auto-generated
Verify isProfileComplete logic
Check navigation state in console

"Avatar upload failing"

Ensure Supabase storage bucket exists
Check photo permissions granted
Verify storage policies are set up

"Activities not saving"

Check ActivitySelector integration
Verify user_activities table exists
Check RLS policies on database

"Friends not loading"

Verify friendships table exists
Check user authentication
Run COMPLETE_DATABASE_SETUP.sql
