```typescript
// Extended log entry with 100+ security fields
export interface ExtendedLogEntry {
  id: string;
  timestamp: string;
  organization_id: string;
  source_identifier: string;
  source_type: string;
  // ... 95+ additional security fields
  
  // MITRE ATT&CK fields

#### 3. Next.js 15 Route Handler Types
```typescript
// Dynamic route parameter handling
export async function GET(
  request: NextRequest,
  { params }: { params: Promise<{ id: string }> }
) {
  const { id } = await params;
  // Type-safe parameter handling
}

export async function PUT(
  request: NextRequest,
  { params }: { params: Promise<{ id: string }> }
) {
  const { id } = await params;
  const body = await request.json();
  // Strongly typed request/response
}
```

}

// Type adapter function
const convertNotification = (realtimeNotif: RealtimeNotification): Notification => ({
  ...realtimeNotif,
  actions: realtimeNotif.actions?.map(action => action.label) || []
});
```

## 🌐 API Type Safety

### HTTP Client Configuration
```typescript
class ApiClient {
  private baseUrl: string;
  private searchApiUrl: string;

  constructor() {
    this.baseUrl = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_API_BASE_URL || 'http://localhost:4000';
    this.searchApiUrl = process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_SEARCH_API_URL || 'http://localhost:4004';
  }

  async fetchLogs(params: SearchParams = {}): Promise<LogEntry[]> {
    // AbortController pattern for timeout handling
    const controller = new AbortController();
    const timeoutId = setTimeout(() => controller.abort(), 10000);

    const response = await fetch(url, {
      method: 'GET',
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
      signal: controller.signal,
    });

    clearTimeout(timeoutId);
    return this.transformSearchApiResponse(await response.json());
  }
}
```

### Service Health Types
```typescript
export interface ServiceHealth {
  status: 'healthy' | 'unhealthy' | 'degraded';
  uptime: number;
  version: string;
  timestamp: string;
  dependencies: DependencyHealth[];
}

export interface DependencyHealth {
  name: string;
  status: 'connected' | 'disconnected' | 'error';
  responseTime?: number;
  error?: string;
}
```

## 🎨 Component Type System

### React Component Types
```typescript
// UI Component interfaces
interface ProgressProps {
  value: number;
  max?: number;
  className?: string;
  variant?: 'default' | 'secondary';
}

interface EventsTableProps {
  events: ExtendedLogEntry[];
  loading: boolean;
  onEventSelect: (event: ExtendedLogEntry) => void;
  virtualization?: boolean;
}

// Dashboard widget types
interface StatsCardProps {
  title: string;
  value: string;
  change: string;
  color: 'red' | 'green' | 'blue' | 'orange';
  Icon: React.ComponentType<any>;
}
```

### Hook Types
```typescript
// Real-time notifications hook
export function useRealTimeNotifications(
  callback: (notifications: RealtimeNotification[]) => void
): { isConnected: boolean } {
  const [isConnected, setIsConnected] = useState(false);
  
  useEffect(() => {
    // WebSocket connection logic with type safety
  }, [callback]);

  return { isConnected };
}

// API integration hooks
export function useApiStatus(): {
  searchApi: boolean;
  authService: boolean;
  loading: boolean;
} {
  // Service health monitoring with typed responses
}
```

## ⚠️ Error Resolution Guide

### Common TypeScript Errors Fixed in v2.1.1

#### 1. TS2344 - Route Handler Parameter Types
**Problem**: Next.js 15 dynamic route handlers require Promise<ParamsType>
```typescript
// ❌ Before (v2.1.0)
export async function GET(
  request: NextRequest,
  { params }: { params: { id: string } }
) {
  const { id } = params; // Error: params might be Promise
}

// ✅ After (v2.1.1)
export async function GET(
  request: NextRequest,
  { params }: { params: Promise<{ id: string }> }
) {
  const { id } = await params; // Correct async handling
}
```

#### 2. TS2307 - Module Resolution
**Problem**: Missing type declarations for @securewatch/kql-engine
```typescript
// ✅ Solution: Created packages/kql-engine/dist/index.d.ts
export interface KQLEngine {
  execute(query: string): Promise<any>;
  parse(query: string): any;
}
```

#### 3. TS2430 - Interface Inheritance Conflicts
**Problem**: WindowsEventLogEntry conflicts with ExtendedLogEntry
```typescript
// ✅ Solution: Use Omit pattern for type safety
export interface WindowsEventLogEntry extends Omit<ExtendedLogEntry, 'event_id'> {
  event_id: number; // Override string with number for Windows
}
```

#### 4. TS2345 - Type Compatibility Issues
**Problem**: Notification type mismatches
```typescript
// ✅ Solution: Type adapter pattern
const convertNotification = (realtimeNotif: RealtimeNotification): Notification => ({
  ...realtimeNotif,
  actions: realtimeNotif.actions?.map(action => action.label) || []
});
```
