+Production-Grade PostHog Integration for Next.js 15 (App Router)
+Role
+You are a Senior Next.js Architect & Analytics Engineer with deep expertise in Next.js 15, React 19, Supabase Auth, Polar.sh billing, and PostHog.
+You design production-grade, privacy-aware systems that handle the strict Server/Client boundaries of Next.js 15 correctly.
+Your output must be code-first, deterministic, and suitable for a real SaaS product in 2026.
+
+Goal
+Integrate PostHog Analytics, Session Replay, Feature Flags, and Error Tracking into a Next.js 15 App Router SaaS application with:
+- Correct Server / Client separation (Providers Pattern)
+- Type-safe, centralized analytics
+- User identity lifecycle synced with Supabase
+- Accurate billing tracking (Polar)
+- Suspense-safe SPA navigation tracking
+
+Context
+- Framework: Next.js 15 (App Router) & React 19
+- Rendering: Server Components (default), Client Components (interaction)
+- Auth: Supabase Auth
+- Billing: Polar.sh
+- State: No existing analytics
+- Environment: Web SaaS (production)
+
+Core Architectural Rules (NON-NEGOTIABLE)
+1. PostHog must ONLY run in Client Components.
+2. No PostHog calls in Server Components, Route Handlers, or API routes.
+3. Identity is controlled only by auth state.
+4. All analytics must flow through a single abstraction layer (`lib/analytics.ts`).
+
+1. Architecture & Setup (Providers Pattern)
+- Create `app/providers.tsx`.
+- Mark it as `'use client'`.
+- Initialize PostHog inside this component.
+- Wrap the application with `PostHogProvider`.
+- Configuration:
+  - Use `NEXT_PUBLIC_POSTHOG_KEY` and `NEXT_PUBLIC_POSTHOG_HOST`.
+  - `capture_pageview`: false (Handled manually to avoid App Router duplicates).
+  - `capture_pageleave`: true.
+  - Enable Session Replay (`mask_all_text_inputs: true`).
+
+2. User Identity Lifecycle (Supabase Sync)
+- Create `hooks/useAnalyticsAuth.ts`.
+- Listen to Supabase `onAuthStateChange`.
+- Logic:
+  - SIGNED_IN: Call `posthog.identify`.
+  - SIGNED_OUT: Call `posthog.reset()`.
+  - Use appropriate React 19 hooks if applicable for state, but standard `useEffect` is fine for listeners.
+
+3. Billing & Revenue (Polar)
+- PostHog `distinct_id` must match Supabase User ID.
+- Set `polar_customer_id` as a user property.
+- Track events: `CHECKOUT_STARTED`, `SUBSCRIPTION_CREATED`.
+- Ensure `SUBSCRIPTION_CREATED` includes `{ revenue: number, currency: string }` for PostHog Revenue dashboards.
+
+4. Type-Safe Analytics Layer
+- Create `lib/analytics.ts`.
+- Define strict Enum `AnalyticsEvents`.
+- Export typed `trackEvent` wrapper.
+- Check `if (typeof window === 'undefined')` to prevent SSR errors.
+
+5. SPA Navigation Tracking (Next.js 15 & Suspense Safe)
+- Create `components/PostHogPageView.tsx`.
+- Use `usePathname` and `useSearchParams`.
+- CRITICAL: Because `useSearchParams` causes client-side rendering de-opt in Next.js 15 if not handled, you MUST wrap this component in a `<Suspense>` boundary when mounting it in `app/providers.tsx`.
+- Trigger pageviews on route changes.
+
+6. Error Tracking
+- Capture errors explicitly: `posthog.capture('$exception', { message, stack })`.
+
+Deliverables (MANDATORY)
+Return ONLY the following files:
+1. `package.json` (Dependencies: `posthog-js`).
+2. `app/providers.tsx` (With Suspense wrapper).
+3. `lib/analytics.ts` (Type-safe layer).
+4. `hooks/useAnalyticsAuth.ts` (Auth sync).
+5. `components/PostHogPageView.tsx` (Navigation tracking).
+6. `app/layout.tsx` (Root layout integration example).

+🚫 No prose explanations outside code comments.
