+
+Enable user accounts so players can track multiple Nuzlocke runs, access them from any device, and view detailed statistics across all their playthroughs.
+
+## Goals
+- Users can create accounts and log in securely
+- Support social login providers for frictionless onboarding
+- Each user can have multiple runs (no longer single-user assumption)
+- Provide an overview dashboard of all runs
+- Provide detailed statistics aggregated across all runs
+
+## Features
+
+### Authentication
+- [ ] Email/password registration and login
+- [ ] Social login with Google
+- [ ] Social login with Apple
+- [ ] Password reset flow via email
+- [ ] Session management (remember me, logout)
+- [ ] Secure token handling (JWT or session-based)
+
+### User Profile
+- [ ] Basic profile info (display name, avatar)
+- [ ] Account settings page
+- [ ] Delete account option (with data export)
+
+### Multi-Run Support
+- [ ] Associate runs with user accounts
+- [ ] Users can have unlimited runs
+- [ ] Migrate any existing local/anonymous runs to account
+- [ ] Run visibility settings (private by default)
+
+### Runs Overview Page
+- [ ] Dashboard showing all user's runs
+- [ ] Display per run: game, start date, status (active/completed/abandoned), team snapshot
+- [ ] Filter/sort runs by game, status, date
+- [ ] Quick actions: continue run, view details, archive
+- [ ] Visual indicator for currently active run(s)
+- [ ] Create new run button
+
+### Detailed Stats Page
+- [ ] Aggregate statistics across all runs:
+  - [ ] Total runs started / completed / abandoned
+  - [ ] Total Pokémon caught / lost
+  - [ ] Favorite games (most runs)
+  - [ ] Average run completion rate
+  - [ ] Longest surviving Pokémon across runs
+  - [ ] Most common cause of death
+- [ ] Per-game statistics breakdown
+- [ ] Historical timeline of runs
+- [ ] Achievements/milestones (e.g., "Completed 5 runs", "No deaths in a run")
+
+## Technical Considerations
+- Backend: Add user model, auth middleware, update all run endpoints
+- Frontend: Auth context/provider, protected routes, login/register forms
+- Database: Users table, user_id foreign key on runs
+- Consider OAuth libraries (e.g., Authlib for Python, or Auth0/Firebase Auth)
+- GDPR considerations for EU users (data export, deletion)
+
+## Dependencies
+- Requires MVP core features to be functional first
+- API endpoints need user-scoping
+- Database schema needs user table and migrations
+
+## Out of Scope (for now)
+- Social features (sharing runs, leaderboards)
+- Team collaboration
+- Public run profiles
