+
+## Key Initialization Phases
+
+### Phase 0: Pre-initialization Setup
+- **CalendarConfig**: Loads URL parameters (`?type=date`) and DOM attributes
+- **CalendarTypeFactory**: Creates strategy pattern renderers for date mode
+
+### Phase 1: Core Managers Construction  
+- **CalendarManager**: Central coordinator
+- **NavigationManager**: Week navigation controls
+- **ViewManager**: View state management
+
+### Phase 2: Data & Rendering Managers
+- **EventManager**: Handles data loading
+- **EventRenderer**: Manages event display with synchronization
+
+### Phase 3: Layout Managers (Order Critical!)
+- **ScrollManager**: Must subscribe before GridManager renders
+- **GridManager**: Main grid rendering
+
+### Phase 4: Coordinated Initialization
+- **CalendarManager.initialize()**: Triggers `CALENDAR_INITIALIZED` event
+- All managers respond simultaneously but safely
+
+## Critical Synchronization Points
+
+### 1. Event-Grid Synchronization
+```typescript
+// EventRenderer waits for BOTH events
+if (this.pendingEvents.length > 0) {
+    const columns = document.querySelectorAll('swp-day-column'); // DATE MODE
+    if (columns.length > 0) { // Grid must exist first
+        this.renderEvents(this.pendingEvents);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Scroll-Grid Dependency
+```typescript
+// ScrollManager only sets up after grid is rendered
+eventBus.on(EventTypes.GRID_RENDERED, () => {
+    this.setupScrolling(); // Safe to access DOM now
+});
+```
+
+### 3. Manager Construction Order
+```typescript
+// Critical order: ScrollManager subscribes BEFORE GridManager renders
+const scrollManager = new ScrollManager(); 
+const gridManager = new GridManager();
+```
+
+## Date Mode Specifics
+
+### Data Loading
+- Uses `/src/data/mock-events.json`
+- Processes events for current week
+- Emits `CALENDAR_DATA_LOADED` with `calendarType: 'date'`
+
+### Grid Rendering 
+- Creates 7 `swp-day-column` elements (weekDays: 7)
+- Uses `DateHeaderRenderer` strategy
+- Uses `DateColumnRenderer` strategy  
+- Sets `--grid-columns: 7` CSS variable
+
+### Event Rendering
+- Uses `DateEventRenderer` strategy
+- Positions events in day columns based on start/end time
+- Calculates pixel positions using `PositionUtils`
+
+## Race Condition Prevention
+
+1. **Subscription Before Action**: All managers subscribe during construction, act on `CALENDAR_INITIALIZED`
+2. **DOM Existence Checks**: Managers verify DOM elements exist before manipulation  
+3. **Event Ordering**: `GRID_RENDERED` always fires before event rendering attempts
+4. **Pending States**: EventRenderer stores pending events until grid is ready
+5. **Coordinated Start**: Single `CALENDAR_INITIALIZED` event starts all processes
+
+## Debugging Points
+
+Key events to monitor during initialization:
+- `CALENDAR_INITIALIZED` - Start of coordinated setup
+- `CALENDAR_DATA_LOADED` - Date data ready  
+- `GRID_RENDERED` - Grid structure complete
+- `EVENTS_LOADED` - Event data ready
+- `EVENT_RENDERED` - Events positioned in grid
+
+This sequence ensures deterministic, race-condition-free initialization with comprehensive logging for debugging.

+# Improved Calendar Initialization Strategy
+
+## Current Problems
+
+1. **Race Conditions**: Managers try DOM operations before DOM is ready
+2. **Sequential Blocking**: All initialization happens sequentially 
+3. **Poor Error Handling**: No timeouts or retry mechanisms
+4. **Late Data Loading**: Data only loads after all managers are created
+
+## Recommended New Architecture
+
+### Phase 1: Early Parallel Startup
+```typescript
+// index.ts - Improved initialization
+export class CalendarInitializer {
+    async initialize(): Promise<void> {
+        console.log('📋 Starting Calendar initialization...');
+        
+        // PHASE 1: Early parallel setup
+        const setupPromises = [
+            this.initializeConfig(),        // Load URL params, DOM attrs
+            this.initializeFactory(),       // Setup strategy patterns  
+            this.preloadCalendarData(),     // Start data loading early
+            this.waitForDOMReady()          // Ensure basic DOM exists
+        ];
+        
+        await Promise.all(setupPromises);
+        console.log('✅ Phase 1 complete: Config, Factory, Data preloading started');
+        
+        // PHASE 2: Manager creation with dependencies
+        await this.createManagersWithDependencies();
+        
+        // PHASE 3: Coordinated activation
+        await this.activateAllManagers();
+        
+        console.log('🎊 Calendar fully initialized!');
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 2: Dependency-Aware Manager Creation
+```typescript
+private async createManagersWithDependencies(): Promise<void> {
+    const managers = new Map<string, any>();
+    
+    // Core managers (no DOM dependencies)
+    managers.set('config', calendarConfig);
+    managers.set('eventBus', eventBus);
+    managers.set('calendarManager', new CalendarManager(eventBus, calendarConfig));
+    
+    // DOM-dependent managers (wait for DOM readiness)
+    await this.waitForRequiredDOM(['swp-calendar', 'swp-calendar-nav']);
+    
+    managers.set('navigationManager', new NavigationManager(eventBus));
+    managers.set('viewManager', new ViewManager(eventBus));
+    
+    // Data managers (can work with preloaded data)
+    managers.set('eventManager', new EventManager(eventBus));
+    managers.set('dataManager', new DataManager());
+    
+    // Layout managers (need DOM structure + other managers)
+    await this.waitForRequiredDOM(['swp-calendar-container']);
+    
+    // CRITICAL ORDER: ScrollManager subscribes before GridManager renders
+    managers.set('scrollManager', new ScrollManager());
+    managers.set('gridManager', new GridManager());
+    
+    // Rendering managers (need grid structure)
+    managers.set('eventRenderer', new EventRenderer(eventBus));
+    
+    this.managers = managers;
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 3: Coordinated Activation
+```typescript
+private async activateAllManagers(): Promise<void> {
+    // All managers created and subscribed, now activate in coordinated fashion
+    const calendarManager = this.managers.get('calendarManager');
+    
+    // This triggers CALENDAR_INITIALIZED, but now all managers are ready
+    await calendarManager.initialize();
+    
+    // Wait for critical initialization events
+    await Promise.all([
+        this.waitForEvent('CALENDAR_DATA_LOADED', 10000),
+        this.waitForEvent('GRID_RENDERED', 5000),
+        this.waitForEvent('EVENTS_LOADED', 10000)
+    ]);
+    
+    // Ensure event rendering completes
+    await this.waitForEvent('EVENT_RENDERED', 3000);
+}
+```
+
+## Specific Timing Improvements
+
+### 1. Early Data Preloading
+```typescript
+private async preloadCalendarData(): Promise<void> {
+    const currentDate = new Date();
+    const mode = calendarConfig.getCalendarMode();
+    
+    // Start loading data for current period immediately
+    const dataManager = new DataManager();
+    const currentPeriod = this.getCurrentPeriod(currentDate, mode);
+    
+    // Don't await - let this run in background
+    const dataPromise = dataManager.fetchEventsForPeriod(currentPeriod);
+    
+    // Also preload adjacent periods
+    const prevPeriod = this.getPreviousPeriod(currentDate, mode);
+    const nextPeriod = this.getNextPeriod(currentDate, mode);
+    
+    // Store promises for later use
+    this.preloadPromises = {
+        current: dataPromise,
+        previous: dataManager.fetchEventsForPeriod(prevPeriod),
+        next: dataManager.fetchEventsForPeriod(nextPeriod)
+    };
+    
+    console.log('📊 Data preloading started for current, previous, and next periods');
+}
+```
+
+### 2. DOM Readiness Verification
+```typescript
+private async waitForRequiredDOM(selectors: string[]): Promise<void> {
+    const maxWait = 5000; // 5 seconds max
+    const checkInterval = 100; // Check every 100ms
+    
+    const startTime = Date.now();
+    
+    while (Date.now() - startTime < maxWait) {
+        const missing = selectors.filter(selector => !document.querySelector(selector));
+        
+        if (missing.length === 0) {
+            console.log(`✅ Required DOM elements found: ${selectors.join(', ')}`);
+            return;
+        }
+        
+        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, checkInterval));
+    }
+    
+    throw new Error(`❌ Timeout waiting for DOM elements: ${selectors.join(', ')}`);
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Manager Base Class with Proper Lifecycle
+```typescript
+export abstract class BaseManager {
+    protected isInitialized = false;
+    protected requiredDOMSelectors: string[] = [];
+    
+    constructor() {
+        // Don't call init() immediately in constructor!
+        console.log(`${this.constructor.name}: Created but not initialized`);
+    }
+    
+    async initialize(): Promise<void> {
+        if (this.isInitialized) {
+            console.log(`${this.constructor.name}: Already initialized, skipping`);
+            return;
+        }
+        
+        // Wait for required DOM elements
+        if (this.requiredDOMSelectors.length > 0) {
+            await this.waitForDOM(this.requiredDOMSelectors);
+        }
+        
+        // Perform manager-specific initialization
+        await this.performInitialization();
+        
+        this.isInitialized = true;
+        console.log(`${this.constructor.name}: Initialization complete`);
+    }
+    
+    protected abstract performInitialization(): Promise<void>;
+    
+    private async waitForDOM(selectors: string[]): Promise<void> {
+        // Same DOM waiting logic as above
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Enhanced GridManager
+```typescript
+export class GridManager extends BaseManager {
+    protected requiredDOMSelectors = ['swp-calendar-container'];
+    
+    constructor() {
+        super(); // Don't call this.init()!
+        this.currentWeek = this.getWeekStart(new Date());
+    }
+    
+    protected async performInitialization(): Promise<void> {
+        // Now safe to find elements - DOM guaranteed to exist
+        this.findElements();
+        this.subscribeToEvents();
+        
+        // Wait for CALENDAR_INITIALIZED before rendering
+        await this.waitForEvent('CALENDAR_INITIALIZED');
+        
+        console.log('GridManager: Starting initial render');
+        this.render();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Enhanced EventRenderer with Better Synchronization
+```typescript
+export class EventRenderer extends BaseManager {
+    private dataReady = false;
+    private gridReady = false;
+    private pendingEvents: CalendarEvent[] = [];
+    
+    protected async performInitialization(): Promise<void> {
+        this.subscribeToEvents();
+        
+        // Wait for both data and grid in parallel
+        const [eventsData] = await Promise.all([
+            this.waitForEvent('EVENTS_LOADED'),
+            this.waitForEvent('GRID_RENDERED')
+        ]);
+        
+        console.log('EventRenderer: Both events and grid ready, rendering now');
+        this.renderEvents(eventsData.events);
+    }
+    
+    private subscribeToEvents(): void {
+        this.eventBus.on(EventTypes.EVENTS_LOADED, (e: Event) => {
+            const detail = (e as CustomEvent).detail;
+            this.pendingEvents = detail.events;
+            this.dataReady = true;
+            this.tryRender();
+        });
+        
+        this.eventBus.on(EventTypes.GRID_RENDERED, () => {
+            this.gridReady = true;
+            this.tryRender();
+        });
+    }
+    
+    private tryRender(): void {
+        if (this.dataReady && this.gridReady && this.pendingEvents.length > 0) {
+            this.renderEvents(this.pendingEvents);
+            this.pendingEvents = [];
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
