-# UniverseService Refactor
-
-## Overview
-
-This refactor addresses critical performance and architectural issues in the UniverseService by decomposing it into specialized services, introducing a contract system, and implementing true lazy loading for engines.
-
-## Problems Solved
-
-### 1. Performance Bottleneck
-
-**Before**: 10-40 second initial load time due to sequential `bootEngines` process loading all extensions upfront.
-
-**After**: <1 second initial load time with on-demand lazy loading.
-
-### 2. Monolithic Design
-
-**Before**: 1,978 lines handling 7+ distinct responsibilities in a single service.
-
-**After**: Specialized services with clear separation of concerns:
-- `ExtensionManager`: Engine lifecycle and lazy loading
-- `RegistryService`: Registry management using Ember's container
-- `MenuService`: Menu items and panels
-- `WidgetService`: Dashboard widgets
-- `HookService`: Application hooks
-
-### 3. Inefficient Registry
-
-**Before**: Custom object-based registry with O(n) lookups.
-
-**After**: Ember container-based registry with O(1) lookups.
-
-### 4. Broken Lazy Loading
-
-**Before**: `bootEngines` manually boots and initializes every engine, breaking lazy loading.
-
-**After**: Engines load on-demand when their components are actually needed.
-

-## Contract System
-
-New classes provide a fluent, type-safe API for extension definitions:
-
-```javascript
-import { MenuItem, ExtensionComponent, Widget, Hook } from '@fleetbase/ember-core/contracts';
-
-// Menu item with lazy component
-new MenuItem('Fleet-Ops', 'console.fleet-ops')
-    .withIcon('route')
-    .withPriority(0)
-    .withComponent(
-        new ExtensionComponent('@fleetbase/fleetops-engine', 'components/admin/navigator-app')
-    );
-
-// Widget with grid options
-new Widget('fleet-ops-metrics')
-    .withName('Fleet-Ops Metrics')
-    .withIcon('truck')
-    .withComponent(
-        new ExtensionComponent('@fleetbase/fleetops-engine', 'components/widget/metrics')
-    )
-    .withGridOptions({ w: 12, h: 12 })
-    .asDefault();
-
-// Hook with priority
-new Hook('application:before-model', (session, router) => {
-    if (session.isCustomer) {
-        router.transitionTo('customer-portal');
-    }
-})
-    .withPriority(10)
-    .once();
-```
-
-## Lazy Loading Flow
-
-1. **Boot Time**: Only `extension.js` files are loaded (no engine code)
-2. **Registration**: Metadata is registered (menus, widgets, hooks)
-3. **Runtime**: When a component needs to render:
-   - `<LazyEngineComponent>` triggers `extensionManager.ensureEngineLoaded()`
-   - Engine bundle is fetched and loaded
-   - Component is looked up from the engine
-   - Component is rendered
-
-## Extension Pattern
-
-### Old Pattern (engine.js)
-
-```javascript
-import MyComponent from './components/my-component';
-
-export default class MyEngine extends Engine {
-    setupExtension = function (app, engine, universe) {
-        universe.registerMenuItem('my-registry', 'My Item', {
-            component: MyComponent  // Loads entire engine!
-        });
-    };
-}
-```
-
-### New Pattern (extension.js)
-
-```javascript
-import { MenuItem, ExtensionComponent } from '@fleetbase/ember-core/contracts';
-
-export default function (app, universe) {
-    universe.registerMenuItem(
-        'my-registry',
-        new MenuItem('My Item')
-            .withComponent(
-                new ExtensionComponent('@fleetbase/my-engine', 'components/my-component')
-            )
-    );
-}
-```
-
-**Key Difference**: No component imports = no engine loading at boot time.
-
-## Performance Improvements
-
-| Metric | Before | After | Improvement |
-|--------|--------|-------|-------------|
-| Initial Load Time | 10-40s | <1s | ~90% faster |
-| Bundle Size (initial) | Full app + all engines | Core app only | ~60% reduction |
-| Lookup Performance | O(n) | O(1) | 100x faster |
-| Timeout Errors | Frequent | None | 100% reduction |
-
-## Backward Compatibility
-
-The refactor is **100% backward compatible**. The old API still works:
-
-```javascript
-// Old syntax (still works)
-universe.registerHeaderMenuItem('My Item', 'my.route', { icon: 'star' });
-
-// New syntax (preferred)
-universe.registerHeaderMenuItem(
-    new MenuItem('My Item', 'my.route').withIcon('star')
-);
-```
