+# Phase 3.1 Implementation Complete: Custom Hooks for Business Logic
+
+**Date:** 2026-02-11
+**Phase:** 3.1 - React Performance & UX
+**Status:** ✅ **COMPLETE**
+
+---
+
+## 📋 Summary
+
+Successfully extracted business logic from components into reusable custom React hooks. This refactoring improves code organization, testability, and component simplicity while maintaining all existing functionality.
+
+---
+
+## ✅ What Was Implemented
+
+### 1. **useSealedSecretEncryption Hook** (`src/hooks/useSealedSecretEncryption.ts`)
+
+Extracted all encryption business logic from EncryptDialog into a reusable hook:
+
+```typescript
+export function useSealedSecretEncryption() {
+  const [encrypting, setEncrypting] = React.useState(false);
+  const { enqueueSnackbar } = useSnackbar();
+
+  const encrypt = React.useCallback(async (
+    request: EncryptionRequest
+  ): AsyncResult<EncryptionResult, string> => {
+    // 1. Validate inputs (name, keys, values)
+    // 2. Fetch controller's public certificate
+    // 3. Check certificate expiry (warn user)
+    // 4. Parse public key from certificate
+    // 5. Encrypt all values client-side
+    // 6. Construct SealedSecret object
+    return Ok({ sealedSecretData, certificateInfo });
+  }, [enqueueSnackbar]);
+
+  return { encrypt, encrypting };
+}
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- Handles complete encryption workflow
+- Built-in validation (name, keys, values)
+- Certificate fetching and parsing
+- Expiry warnings (shows snackbar notifications)
+- Error handling with user-friendly messages
+- Returns ready-to-apply SealedSecret object
+- Type-safe with Result<T, E> pattern
+
+**Usage:**
+```typescript
+const { encrypt, encrypting } = useSealedSecretEncryption();
+
+const result = await encrypt({
+  name: 'my-secret',
+  namespace: 'default',
+  scope: 'strict',
+  keyValues: [{ key: 'password', value: 'secret123' }]
+});
+
+if (result.ok) {
+  await SealedSecret.apiEndpoint.post(result.value.sealedSecretData);
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. **useControllerHealth Hook** (`src/hooks/useControllerHealth.ts`)
+
+Extracted health monitoring logic from ControllerStatus component:
+
+```typescript
+export function useControllerHealth(
+  autoRefresh = false,
+  refreshIntervalMs = 30000
+) {
+  const [health, setHealth] = React.useState<ControllerHealthStatus | null>(null);
+  const [loading, setLoading] = React.useState(true);
+
+  const fetchHealth = React.useCallback(async () => {
+    const config = getPluginConfig();
+    const result = await checkControllerHealth(config);
+    if (result.ok) {
+      setHealth(result.value);
+    }
+    setLoading(false);
+  }, []);
+
+  // Auto-refresh setup
+  React.useEffect(() => {
+    fetchHealth();
+    if (autoRefresh) {
+      const interval = setInterval(fetchHealth, refreshIntervalMs);
+      return () => clearInterval(interval);
+    }
+  }, [autoRefresh, refreshIntervalMs, fetchHealth]);
+
+  return { health, loading, refresh: fetchHealth };
+}
+```
+
+**Features:**
+- Automatic health checking on mount
+- Optional auto-refresh with configurable interval
+- Manual refresh function
+- Loading state management
+- Proper cleanup (clears interval)
+
+**Usage:**
+```typescript
+// Manual refresh only
+const { health, loading, refresh } = useControllerHealth();
+
+// Auto-refresh every 30 seconds
+const { health, loading } = useControllerHealth(true, 30000);
+
+// Auto-refresh every 10 seconds
+const { health, loading } = useControllerHealth(true, 10000);
+```
+
+---
+
+### 3. **Updated EncryptDialog Component**
+
+Simplified from ~215 lines to ~50 lines of business logic:
+
+**Before (215 lines):**
+```typescript
+const handleCreate = async () => {
+  // 1. Validate secret name
+  const nameValidation = validateSecretName(name);
+  if (!nameValidation.valid) { ... }
+
+  // 2. Validate key-value pairs
+  for (const kv of keyValues) {
+    const keyValidation = validateSecretKey(kv.key);
+    if (!keyValidation.valid) { ... }
+    // ... more validation
+  }
+
+  // 3. Fetch certificate
+  const certResult = await fetchPublicCertificate(config);
+  if (certResult.ok === false) { ... }
+
+  // 4. Check expiry
+  const certInfoResult = parseCertificateInfo(certResult.value);
+  if (certInfoResult.ok) { ... }
+
+  // 5. Parse public key
+  const keyResult = parsePublicKeyFromCert(certResult.value);
+  if (keyResult.ok === false) { ... }
+
+  // 6. Encrypt
+  const encryptResult = encryptKeyValues(...);
+  if (encryptResult.ok === false) { ... }
+
+  // 7. Construct object
+  const sealedSecretData = { ... };
+
+  // 8. Apply
+  await SealedSecret.apiEndpoint.post(sealedSecretData);
+};
+```
+
+**After (30 lines):**
+```typescript
+const { encrypt, encrypting } = useSealedSecretEncryption();
+
+const handleCreate = async () => {
+  // Filter empty rows
+  const validKeyValues = keyValues
+    .filter(kv => kv.key || kv.value)
+    .map(kv => ({ key: kv.key, value: kv.value }));
+
+  // Encrypt (hook handles validation, cert fetching, etc.)
+  const result = await encrypt({
+    name, namespace, scope,
+    keyValues: validKeyValues
+  });
+
+  if (result.ok === false) return;
+
+  // Apply to cluster
+  await SealedSecret.apiEndpoint.post(result.value.sealedSecretData);
+  enqueueSnackbar('SealedSecret created successfully', { variant: 'success' });
+
+  // Clear form and close
+  resetForm();
+  onClose();
+};
+```
+
+**Reduction:** ~85% less code in component, all business logic extracted!
+
+---
+
+### 4. **Updated ControllerStatus Component**
+
+Simplified from ~56 lines to ~30 lines:
+
+**Before (56 lines):**
+```typescript
+const [status, setStatus] = React.useState<ControllerHealthStatus | null>(null);
+const [loading, setLoading] = React.useState(true);
+
+const fetchStatus = React.useCallback(async () => {
+  setLoading(true);
+  const config = getPluginConfig();
+  const result = await checkControllerHealth(config);
+  if (result.ok) {
+    setStatus(result.value);
+  }
+  setLoading(false);
+}, []);
+
+React.useEffect(() => {
+  fetchStatus();
+}, [fetchStatus]);
+
+React.useEffect(() => {
+  if (!autoRefresh) return;
+  const interval = setInterval(fetchStatus, refreshIntervalMs);
+  return () => clearInterval(interval);
+}, [autoRefresh, refreshIntervalMs, fetchStatus]);
+```
+
+**After (1 line):**
+```typescript
+const { health: status, loading } = useControllerHealth(autoRefresh, refreshIntervalMs);
+```
+
+**Reduction:** ~95% less code in component, perfect abstraction!

+
+## ✅ Verification
+
+### Type Checking
+```bash
+$ npm run tsc
+✓ Done tsc-ing: "."
+```
+
+### Linting
+```bash
+$ npm run lint
+✓ Done lint-ing: "."
+```
+
+### Build
+```bash
+$ npm run build
+✓ dist/main.js  352.05 kB │ gzip: 96.99 kB
+✓ built in 3.92s
+```
+
+---
+
+## 💡 Hook Design Patterns
+
+### 1. **Callback Memoization**
+```typescript
+const encrypt = React.useCallback(async (request) => {
+  // ... implementation
+}, [enqueueSnackbar]); // Memoize with dependencies
+```
+- Prevents unnecessary re-renders
+- Stable function identity
+- React best practice
+
+### 2. **Loading State Management**
+```typescript
+const [loading, setLoading] = React.useState(true);
+
+const fetch = React.useCallback(async () => {
+  setLoading(true);
+  // ... do work
+  setLoading(false);
+}, []);
+```
+- Clear loading indicators
+- User feedback during async operations
+
+### 3. **Auto-Refresh Pattern**
+```typescript
+React.useEffect(() => {
+  fetch();
+  if (autoRefresh) {
+    const interval = setInterval(fetch, intervalMs);
+    return () => clearInterval(interval); // Cleanup
+  }
+}, [autoRefresh, intervalMs, fetch]);
+```
+- Automatic data refresh
+- Proper cleanup prevents memory leaks
+
+### 4. **Manual Refresh Function**
+```typescript
+return {
+  data,
+  loading,
+  refresh: fetchData, // Export for manual triggering
+};
+```
+- User-triggered refresh
+- Flexible API
+

+        { key: 'password', value: 'secret123' }
+      ]
+    });
+
+    if (result.ok) {
+      // result.value.sealedSecretData is ready to apply
+      // result.value.certificateInfo contains cert info
+      await SealedSecret.apiEndpoint.post(result.value.sealedSecretData);
+    }
+    // Errors already shown via snackbar
+  };
+
+  return (
+    <Button onClick={handleEncrypt} disabled={encrypting}>
+      {encrypting ? 'Encrypting...' : 'Encrypt'}
+    </Button>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+**Using useControllerHealth:**
+```typescript
+import { useControllerHealth } from '../hooks/useControllerHealth';
+
+function MyComponent() {

+  // Auto-refresh every 30s
+  const { health, loading } = useControllerHealth(true, 30000);
+
+  if (loading) return <div>Loading...</div>;
+  if (!health) return <div>No data</div>;
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      Status: {health.healthy ? 'Healthy' : 'Unhealthy'}
+      Latency: {health.latencyMs}ms
+      <button onClick={refresh}>Refresh</button>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
