   - Impact: Auth module couldn't build

2. **Missing `CACHE_MANAGER` dependency**
   - Error: `Nest can't resolve dependencies of the UserService`
   - Impact: UserModule and AuthModule failed to start

3. **Missing `UuidResolverService`**
   - Error: `Nest can't resolve dependencies of the UserService`
   - Impact: UUID resolution failed across modules

### Frontend Docker Build Failures

1. **Next.js standalone build with pnpm**
   - Error: `ENOENT: no such file or directory` creating standalone node_modules
   - Impact: Docker build failed

## 🔧 Solutions Implemented

### Backend Fixes

#### 1. Add Missing Dependencies

```json
// package.json
{
  "dependencies": {
    "ms": "^2.1.3"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/ms": "^2.1.0"
  }
}
```

#### 2. Global Cache Configuration

```typescript
// app.module.ts
import { CacheModule } from '@nestjs/cache-manager';

@Module({
  imports: [
    // Global cache for all modules
    CacheModule.register({
      isGlobal: true,
      ttl: 300, // 5 minutes
    }),
    // ... other modules
  ],
})
```

#### 3. CommonModule Import

```typescript
// app.module.ts
import { CommonModule } from './common/common.module';

@Module({
  imports: [
    CommonModule, // Initialize global services
    // ... other modules
  ],
})
```

### Frontend Docker Fixes

#### 1. Disable Standalone Mode

```javascript
// next.config.mjs
const nextConfig = {
  // TEMPORARILY DISABLED: pnpm standalone build issues
  // output: "standalone",
};
```

#### 2. Update Dockerfile

```dockerfile
# Copy full app instead of standalone
COPY --from=build --chown=nextjs:nextjs /w/frontend ./
COPY --from=build --chown=nextjs:nextjs /w/frontend/node_modules ./node_modules

# Use pnpm start instead of node server.js
CMD ["pnpm", "start"]
```
