Your Error:

Loading from existing service worker.
main.dart.js:5658 Uncaught Error

Cause: Service worker is caching old/broken JavaScript code!

⚡ IMMEDIATE FIX (3 Steps)

Step 1: Clear Service Worker in Browser

Method A: Using DevTools (Recommended)

Press F12 to open DevTools
Click Application tab (top)
Click Service Workers (left sidebar)
Find service worker for chitfund.deepteklabs.com
Click Unregister
Close DevTools

Method B: Clear All Site Data

Click Clear storage (left sidebar)
Check all boxes
Click Clear site data

Method C: Test in Incognito (Quick)

Mac: Cmd + Shift + N

Step 2: Deploy Fixed Version

# On your dev machine - push changes
git add .
git commit -m "Fix service worker caching issue"
git push origin prodnew

# SSH to production
ssh luckychit@192.168.8.148
cd /home/luckychit/apps/chitfund
git pull origin prodnew

# Rebuild (service worker now disabled)
cd luckychit
flutter clean
flutter pub get
flutter build web --release --pwa-strategy=none
pm2 restart luckychit-frontend

Step 3: Hard Refresh Browser

Windows: Ctrl + Shift + R
Mac: Cmd + Shift + R

✅ What I Fixed

Updated index.html - Now auto-clears service workers on load
Updated all deployment scripts - Now build with --pwa-strategy=none (disables service worker)
Updated documentation - Added service worker clearing to guides

🎯 Expected Result

After these steps, your browser console should show:

✅ No "Loading from existing service worker" message
✅ No "Uncaught Error"
✅ App loads cleanly
✅ Login screen appears

📋 Quick Checklist

Clear service worker in browser (F12 → Application → Unregister)
Push updated code to git
Pull on production server
Rebuild with --pwa-strategy=none
Restart PM2
Hard refresh browser
Verify no errors in console

💡 Why This Happened

Old deployment → Service Worker caches JS
    ↓
New deployment → New HTML served
    ↓
Service Worker → Serves OLD cached JS

Old JS + New HTML = ERROR! ❌

🔄 From Now On

All your deployment scripts now:

Build WITHOUT service worker (--pwa-strategy=none)
Auto-clear any existing service workers
Force cache refresh with timestamps

No more service worker issues! 🎉
