refactor: standardize MobX store architecture with base classes and utilities

Refactored all stores to follow consistent patterns and best practices while keeping MobX:

New Infrastructure:
- Created base-store.ts with StandardState base class and factory functions
- Added store-utils.ts with RequestDeduplicator, StoreError, and OptimisticUpdate helpers
- Added config.ts for MobX configuration and strict mode
- Created comprehensive README.md with architecture guide and examples

Server State Stores (API data):
- attachment.ts: Added request deduplication, error handling, computed properties, delete/clear methods
- workspace.ts: Added Theme type validation, computed memoization, improved initialization
- memo.ts: Enhanced with optimistic updates, request deduplication, structured errors
- user.ts: Fixed temporal coupling, added computed memoization, request deduplication

Client State Stores (UI state):
- view.ts: Added helper methods (toggleSortOrder, setLayout, resetToDefaults), input validation
- memoFilter.ts: Added utility methods (hasFilter, clearAllFilters, removeFiltersByFactor)

Improvements:
- Request deduplication prevents duplicate API calls (all server stores)
- Computed property memoization improves performance
- Structured error handling with error codes
- Optimistic updates for better UX (memo updates)
- Comprehensive JSDoc documentation
- Type-safe APIs with proper exports
- Clear separation between server and client state

All stores now follow consistent patterns for better maintainability and easier onboarding.

+# Store Architecture
+
+This directory contains the application's state management implementation using MobX.
+
+## Overview
+
+The store architecture follows a clear separation of concerns:
+
+- **Server State Stores**: Manage data fetched from the backend API
+- **Client State Stores**: Manage UI preferences and transient state
+
+## Store Files
+
+### Server State Stores (API Data)
+
+| Store | File | Purpose |
+|-------|------|---------|
+| `memoStore` | `memo.ts` | Memo CRUD operations, optimistic updates |
+| `userStore` | `user.ts` | User authentication, settings, stats |
+| `workspaceStore` | `workspace.ts` | Workspace profile and settings |
+| `attachmentStore` | `attachment.ts` | File attachment management |
+
+**Features:**
+- ✅ Request deduplication (prevents duplicate API calls)
+- ✅ Structured error handling with `StoreError`
+- ✅ Computed property memoization for performance
+- ✅ Optimistic updates (immediate UI feedback)
+- ✅ Automatic caching
+
+### Client State Stores (UI State)
+
+| Store | File | Purpose | Persistence |
+|-------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `viewStore` | `view.ts` | Display preferences (sort, layout) | localStorage |
+| `memoFilterStore` | `memoFilter.ts` | Active search filters | URL params |
+
+**Features:**
+- ✅ No API calls (instant updates)
+- ✅ localStorage persistence (viewStore)
+- ✅ URL synchronization (memoFilterStore - shareable links)
+
+### Utilities
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `base-store.ts` | Base classes and factory functions |
+| `store-utils.ts` | Request deduplication, error handling, optimistic updates |
+| `config.ts` | MobX configuration |
+| `common.ts` | Shared constants and utilities |
+| `index.ts` | Centralized exports |
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Basic Store Usage
+
+```typescript
+import { memoStore, userStore, viewStore } from "@/store";
+import { observer } from "mobx-react-lite";
+
+const MyComponent = observer(() => {
+  // Access state
+  const memos = memoStore.state.memos;
+  const currentUser = userStore.state.currentUser;
+  const sortOrder = viewStore.state.orderByTimeAsc;
+
+  // Call actions
+  const handleCreate = async () => {
+    await memoStore.createMemo({ content: "Hello" });
+  };
+
+  const toggleSort = () => {
+    viewStore.toggleSortOrder();
+  };
+
+  return <div>...</div>;
+});
+```
+
+### Server Store Pattern
+
+```typescript
+// Fetch data with automatic deduplication
+const memo = await memoStore.getOrFetchMemoByName("memos/123");
+
+// Update with optimistic UI updates
+await memoStore.updateMemo({ name: "memos/123", content: "Updated" }, ["content"]);
+
+// Errors are wrapped in StoreError
+try {
+  await memoStore.deleteMemo("memos/123");
+} catch (error) {
+  if (error instanceof StoreError) {
+    console.error(error.code, error.message);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Client Store Pattern
+
+```typescript
+// View preferences (persisted to localStorage)
+viewStore.setLayout("MASONRY");
+viewStore.toggleSortOrder();
+
+// Filters (synced to URL)
+memoFilterStore.addFilter({ factor: "tagSearch", value: "work" });
+memoFilterStore.removeFiltersByFactor("tagSearch");
+memoFilterStore.clearAllFilters();
+```
+
+## Creating New Stores
+
+### Server State Store
+
+```typescript
+import { StandardState, createServerStore } from "./base-store";
+import { createRequestKey, StoreError } from "./store-utils";
+
+class MyState extends StandardState {
+  dataMap: Record<string, Data> = {};
+
+  get items() {
+    return Object.values(this.dataMap);
+  }
+}
+
+const myStore = (() => {
+  const base = createServerStore(new MyState(), {
+    name: "myStore",
+    enableDeduplication: true,
+  });
+
+  const { state, executeRequest } = base;
+
+  const fetchItems = async () => {
+    return executeRequest(
+      createRequestKey("fetchItems"),
+      async () => {
+        const items = await api.fetchItems();
+        state.setPartial({ dataMap: items });
+        return items;
+      },
+      "FETCH_ITEMS_FAILED"
+    );
+  };
+
+  return { state, fetchItems };
+})();
+```
+
+### Client State Store
+
+```typescript
+import { StandardState } from "./base-store";
+
+class MyState extends StandardState {
+  preference: string = "default";
+
+  setPartial(partial: Partial<MyState>) {
+    Object.assign(this, partial);
+    // Optional: persist to localStorage
+    localStorage.setItem("my-preference", JSON.stringify(this));
+  }
+}
+
+const myStore = (() => {
+  const state = new MyState();
+
+  const setPreference = (value: string) => {
+    state.setPartial({ preference: value });
+  };
+
+  return { state, setPreference };
+})();
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### ✅ Do
+
+- Use `observer()` HOC for components that access store state
+- Call store actions from event handlers
+- Use computed properties for derived state
+- Handle errors from async store operations
+- Keep stores focused on a single domain
+
+### ❌ Don't
+
+- Don't mutate store state directly - use `setPartial()` or action methods
+- Don't call async store methods during render
+- Don't mix server and client state in the same store
+- Don't access stores outside of React components (except initialization)
+
+## Performance Tips
+
+1. **Computed Properties**: Use getters for derived state - they're memoized by MobX
+2. **Request Deduplication**: Automatic for server stores - prevents wasted API calls
+3. **Optimistic Updates**: Used in `updateMemo` - immediate UI feedback
+4. **Fine-grained Reactivity**: MobX only re-renders components that access changed properties
+
+## Testing
+
+```typescript
+import { memoStore } from "@/store";
+
+describe("memoStore", () => {
+  it("should fetch memos", async () => {
+    const memos = await memoStore.fetchMemos({ filter: "..." });
+    expect(memos).toBeDefined();
+  });
+
+  it("should cache memos", () => {
+    const memo = memoStore.getMemoByName("memos/123");
+    expect(memo).toBeDefined();
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## Migration Guide
+
+If you're migrating from old store patterns:
+
+1. **Replace direct state mutations** with `setPartial()`:
+   ```typescript
+   // Before
+   store.state.value = 5;
+
+   // After
+   store.state.setPartial({ value: 5 });
+   ```
+
+2. **Wrap API calls** with `executeRequest()`:
+   ```typescript
+   // Before
+   const data = await api.fetch();
+   state.data = data;
+
+   // After
+   return executeRequest("fetchData", async () => {
+     const data = await api.fetch();
+     state.setPartial({ data });
+     return data;
+   }, "FETCH_FAILED");
+   ```
+
+3. **Use StandardState** for new stores:
+   ```typescript
+   // Before
+   class State {
+     constructor() { makeAutoObservable(this); }
+   }
+
+   // After
+   class State extends StandardState {
+     // makeAutoObservable() called automatically
+   }
+   ```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Q: Component not re-rendering when state changes?**
+A: Make sure you wrapped it with `observer()` from `mobx-react-lite`.
+
+**Q: Getting "Cannot modify state outside of actions" error?**
+A: Use `state.setPartial()` instead of direct mutations.
+
+**Q: API calls firing multiple times?**
+A: Check that your store uses `createServerStore()` with deduplication enabled.
+
+**Q: localStorage not persisting?**
+A: Ensure your client store overrides `setPartial()` to call `localStorage.setItem()`.

+ * ### Server State Stores (Data Fetching)
+ * These stores fetch and cache data from the backend API:
+ * - **memoStore**: Memo CRUD operations
+ * - **userStore**: User authentication and settings
+ * - **workspaceStore**: Workspace configuration
+ * - **attachmentStore**: File attachment management
+ *
+ * Features:
+ * - Request deduplication
+ * - Error handling with StoreError
+ * - Optimistic updates (memo updates)
+ * - Computed property memoization
+ *
+ * ### Client State Stores (UI State)
+ * These stores manage UI preferences and transient state:
+ * - **viewStore**: Display preferences (sort order, layout)
+ * - **memoFilterStore**: Active search filters
+ *
+ * Features:
+ * - localStorage persistence (viewStore)
+ * - URL synchronization (memoFilterStore)
+ * - No API calls
+ *
+ * ## Usage
+ *
+ * ```typescript
+ * import { memoStore, userStore, viewStore } from "@/store";
+ * import { observer } from "mobx-react-lite";
+ *
+ * const MyComponent = observer(() => {
+ *   const memos = memoStore.state.memos;
+ *   const user = userStore.state.currentUser;
+ *
+ *   return <div>...</div>;
+ * });
+ * ```
