## 🔍 Common Issues and Solutions

### 1. Connection Issues

#### Problem: API Connection Timeout
**Symptoms:**
- Requests to `/api/status` timeout
- Connection refused errors
- Slow response times

**Solutions:**
```bash
# Check if server is running
ps aux | grep python

# Restart server if needed
python web_backend/server.py

# Check port availability
netstat -tlnp | grep :8080

# Verify firewall settings
sudo ufw status
```

**Debug Code:**
```python
import requests
import time

def test_connection():
    try:
        start_time = time.time()
        response = requests.get("http://localhost:8080/api/status", timeout=10)
        duration = time.time() - start_time
        print(f"Connection successful in {duration:.2f}s")
        return True
    except requests.exceptions.Timeout:
        print("Connection timeout - server may be overloaded")
        return False
    except requests.exceptions.ConnectionError:
