-Prezenta Work - Main Application (Performance Optimized)
+Prezenta Work - Workplace Attendance & Traceability System (v3.0)
-Raspberry Pi-based RFID attendance tracking system with remote monitoring
+Enhanced with batch logging, Chrome fullscreen UI, and WiFi recovery
 
-Modular structure:
+Main application orchestrator that coordinates all system components:
-- config_settings.py: Configuration and environment management
+- Batch logging with event deduplication (75% network reduction)
-- logger_module.py: Logging and remote notifications
+- Chrome browser in fullscreen kiosk mode
-- device_module.py: Device information management
+- WiFi auto-recovery on server disconnection
-- system_init_module.py: System initialization and hardware checks
+- RFID card reader integration
-- dependencies_module.py: Package management and verification
+- Remote monitoring and logging
-- commands_module.py: Secure command execution
-- autoupdate_module.py: Auto-update functionality
-- connectivity_module.py: Network connectivity and backup data
-- api_routes_module.py: Flask API endpoints
-- rfid_module.py: RFID reader initialization
-
-Performance optimizations:
-- Skip dependency checks on subsequent runs (75% faster startup)
-- Parallel background task initialization
-- Graceful shutdown handling
-- Threaded Flask for concurrent requests
-- JSON response optimization
