Service Dependency Injection ⭐ **HIGH PRIORITY** + +**Occurrences**: Found in **7+ service files** + +**Current Implementation**: +```typescript +// Repeated in every service +const relayHub = injectService(SERVICE_TOKENS.RELAY_HUB) as any +const authService = injectService(SERVICE_TOKENS.AUTH_SERVICE) as any + +if (!relayHub) { + throw new Error('RelayHub not available') +} +``` + +**Impact**: +- Type safety issues (`as any` casting) +- Duplicate dependency checking +- Inconsistent error messages + +### 3. Payment Processing Logic ⭐ **HIGH PRIORITY** + +**Occurrences**: Duplicated between market and events modules + +**Current Implementation**: +```typescript +// Similar logic in both modules +const payInvoiceWithWallet = async (bolt11: string) => { + // Lightning payment logic + // QR code generation + // Success/error handling + // Toast notifications +} +``` + +**Impact**: +- 150+ lines of duplicate payment logic +- Inconsistent payment UX +- Duplicate error handling + +### 4.

Module Registration Pattern + +**Occurrences**: Every module (`index.ts` files) + +**Current Implementation**: +```typescript +// Identical structure in every module +export const modulePlugin: ModulePlugin = { + name: 'module-name', + install(app: App, options) { + // Service registration + // Component registration + // Route registration + // Event setup + }, + uninstall() { + // Cleanup logic + } +} +``` + +**Impact**: +- Boilerplate code in every module +- Inconsistent registration patterns + +### 6. Toast Notification Pattern + +**Occurrences**: Found in 4+ files + +**Current Implementation**: +```typescript +// Inconsistent usage across modules +toast.success('Operation successful!') +toast.error('Operation failed') +``` + +**Impact**: +- Inconsistent notification styling +- Duplicate notification logic + +--- + +## Recommended Abstractions + +### 1.
