+# Hydration Mismatch Fix Documentation
+
+## Overview
+
+This document describes the comprehensive solution implemented to fix React hydration mismatch errors in the screenpipe search pipe Next.js application. The primary issue was caused by browser extensions (particularly Grammarly) adding dynamic attributes to the `<body>` element after server-side rendering, creating a mismatch between server and client HTML.
+
+## Problem Description
+
+### Original Error
+```
+Warning: Prop `data-new-gr-c-s-check-loaded` did not match. Server: "undefined" Client: "14.1251.0"
+Warning: Prop `data-gr-ext-installed` did not match. Server: "undefined" Client: ""
+```
+
+### Root Cause
+Browser extensions like Grammarly, LastPass, Honey, etc., dynamically add attributes to DOM elements (especially `<body>`) after the page loads. These attributes are not present during server-side rendering, causing hydration mismatches.
+
+## Solution Architecture
+
+### 1. **Layout-Level Suppression** (`layout.tsx`)
+- Added `suppressHydrationWarning={true}` to the `<body>` element
+- This prevents React from warning about hydration mismatches on the body element specifically
+
+### 2. **Browser Extension Handler** (`browser-extension-handler.tsx`)
+- Client-side component that actively manages browser extension attributes
+- Automatically removes extension attributes as they're added
+- Uses MutationObserver to watch for new attributes
+- Includes periodic cleanup as a fallback
+
+### 3. **Hydration Utilities** (`hydration-utils.ts`)
+- Comprehensive utility functions for managing extension attributes
+- Maintains a list of known problematic attributes from popular extensions
+- Provides pattern matching for unknown extension attributes
+- Includes debounced cleanup functions for performance
+
+### 4. **Hydration Boundary Components** (`hydration-boundary.tsx`)
+- `HydrationBoundary`: Ensures consistent rendering between server and client
+- `ClientOnly`: Components that should only render on the client side
+- `ExtensionSafeWrapper`: Wraps content that might be affected by extensions
+
+### 5. **No-SSR Components** (`no-ssr.tsx`)
+- Utilities for preventing server-side rendering of problematic components
+- Hooks for detecting client-side environment
+- Fallback rendering support
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Files Modified/Created
+
+#### Modified Files:
+- `pipes/search/src/app/layout.tsx` - Added suppressHydrationWarning and BrowserExtensionHandler
+- `pipes/search/next.config.ts` - Enhanced with hydration-friendly compiler options
+
+#### New Files:
+- `pipes/search/src/components/browser-extension-handler.tsx` - Main extension management component
+- `pipes/search/src/lib/hydration-utils.ts` - Utility functions for extension handling
+- `pipes/search/src/components/hydration-boundary.tsx` - Hydration boundary components
+- `pipes/search/src/components/no-ssr.tsx` - Client-only rendering utilities
+
+### Key Features
+
+#### 1. **Comprehensive Extension Support**
+Handles attributes from popular browser extensions:
+- **Grammarly**: `data-new-gr-c-s-check-loaded`, `data-gr-ext-installed`, etc.
+- **LastPass**: `data-lastpass-icon-root`, `data-lastpass-root`
+- **Honey**: `data-honey-extension-installed`
+- **AdBlock**: `data-adblockkey`
+- **1Password**: `data-1p-installed`
+- **And many more...**
+
+#### 2. **Pattern-Based Detection**
+Uses regex patterns to catch unknown extension attributes:
+```typescript
+/^data-.*-extension.*$/i
+/^data-.*-ext-.*$/i
+/^data-gr-.*$/i
+/^data-.*-installed$/i
+```
+
+#### 3. **Performance Optimized**
+- Debounced cleanup to prevent excessive DOM manipulation
+- MutationObserver for efficient attribute watching
+- Periodic cleanup as a fallback mechanism
+
+#### 4. **Development vs Production**
+- Maintains hydration warnings in development for debugging
+- Removes console logs in production builds
+- TypeScript support with proper type definitions
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Usage
+The fix is automatically applied when the application loads. No additional configuration needed.
+
+### Advanced Usage
+
+#### Wrapping Components That Might Have Extension Issues
+```tsx
+import { ExtensionSafeWrapper } from '@/components/hydration-boundary';
+
+function MyComponent() {
+  return (
+    <ExtensionSafeWrapper>
+      <div>Content that might be affected by extensions</div>
+    </ExtensionSafeWrapper>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+#### Client-Only Rendering
+```tsx
+import { ClientOnly } from '@/components/hydration-boundary';
+
+function MyComponent() {
+  return (
+    <ClientOnly fallback={<div>Loading...</div>}>
+      <div>This only renders on the client</div>
+    </ClientOnly>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+#### Detecting Browser Extensions
+```tsx
+import { useBrowserExtensions } from '@/components/browser-extension-handler';
+
+function MyComponent() {
+  const extensions = useBrowserExtensions();
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {extensions.grammarly && <p>Grammarly detected</p>}
+      {extensions.lastpass && <p>LastPass detected</p>}
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+

+- Adjust debounce delay in hydration-utils.ts
+- Reduce cleanup interval frequency
+- Check for memory leaks in MutationObserver
+
+#### 3. **Extension Detection Not Working**
+- Verify extension is adding attributes to document.body
+- Check browser console for any JavaScript errors
+- Test with different extension versions
+
+### Debug Mode
+Enable debug logging by setting `NODE_ENV=development` and checking browser console for extension-related messages.
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### Planned Improvements
