+    private String messageId;           // UUID
+    private Instant timestamp;          // Zeitstempel
+    private String topic;               // MQTT-Topic
+    private Object payload;             // Eigentliche Nachricht
+    private boolean requiresAck;        // ACK erforderlich?
+    private int retryCount;             // Anzahl Wiederholungen
+    private Instant expiresAt;          // Ablaufzeitpunkt
+}
+```
+
+#### 3. Acknowledgment-System
+- Automatische ACK-Verwaltung
+- Retry-Mechanismus bei fehlenden ACKs
+- Konfigurierbare Timeouts und Wiederholungen
+
+```java
+public class AcknowledgmentMessage {
+    private String messageId;
+    private Instant timestamp;
+    private String status;              // SUCCESS oder FAILED
+    private String errorMessage;
+}
+```
+
+#### 4. Verbesserte Fehlerbehandlung
+- Erhöhter Connection-Timeout: 30s → 60s
+- Detaillierte Fehlerdiagnose:
+  - `TimeoutException`: Broker nicht erreichbar
+  - `UnknownHostException`: DNS-Fehler
+  - `ConnectException`: Port blockiert
+- Automatische Wiederverbindung mit exponentieller Backoff
+
+#### 5. Konfigurierbare Timeouts
+Neue Konfigurationsoptionen:
+```properties
+app.messaging.plugin.mqtt.connection.timeout.seconds=60
+app.messaging.plugin.mqtt.keep.alive.seconds=60
+```
+
+### Entfernte Komponenten
+
+#### Gelöschte Klassen:
+1. `MqttProperties.java` - Ersetzt durch Plugin-Konfiguration
+2. `MqttConfig.java` - Nicht mehr benötigt
+
+#### Grund für Entfernung:
+Diese Klassen wurden durch das neue Plugin-System obsolet und waren nicht mehr in Verwendung.
+
+### Geänderte Komponenten
+
+#### 1. MqttMessagingPlugin
+**Datei**: `src/main/java/de/assecutor/votianlt/messaging/plugin/mqtt/MqttMessagingPlugin.java`
+
+**Änderungen:**
+- Connection-Timeout von 30s auf 60s erhöht
+- Konfigurierbare Timeout-Parameter hinzugefügt
+- Verbesserte Fehlerbehandlung mit spezifischen Exception-Checks
+- Detailliertes Logging für Verbindungsprobleme
+
+```java
+// Neu: Konfigurierbare Timeouts
+private static final String CONFIG_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT = "connection.timeout.seconds";
+private static final String CONFIG_KEEP_ALIVE = "keep.alive.seconds";
+
+// Verbesserte Fehlerbehandlung
+if (throwable instanceof java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException) {
+    log.error("[MqttPlugin] Connection timeout - broker may be unreachable");
+} else if (throwable.getCause() instanceof java.net.UnknownHostException) {
+    log.error("[MqttPlugin] Unknown host - DNS resolution failed");
+} else if (throwable.getCause() instanceof java.net.ConnectException) {
+    log.error("[MqttPlugin] Connection refused - broker may be down");
+}
+```
+
+#### 2. PluginMessagingConfig
+**Datei**: `src/main/java/de/assecutor/votianlt/messaging/config/PluginMessagingConfig.java`
+
+**Änderungen:**
+- Verwendet neue Konfigurationsparameter
+- Initialisiert Plugin mit korrektem Port (42099)
+- Setzt Authentifizierung (username/password)
+
+#### 3. application.properties
+**Datei**: `src/main/resources/application.properties`
+
+**Änderungen:**
+- Alte `app.mqtt.*` Konfiguration entfernt (Zeilen 57-71)
+- Neue `app.messaging.plugin.mqtt.*` Konfiguration verwendet
+- Port auf 42099 aktualisiert
+
+### Architektur-Änderungen

+# Message Delivery Layer - Implementierungsdokumentation
+
+## Übersicht
+
+Der **Message Delivery Layer** ist eine neue Abstraktionsschicht zwischen der Anwendungslogik und dem MQTT-Transport. Er bietet:
+
+- ✅ **Zuverlässige Nachrichtenzustellung** mit Bestätigungsmechanismus
+- ✅ **Automatische Wiederholungsversuche** bei fehlgeschlagenen Zustellungen
+- ✅ **Protokoll-Abstraktion** für einfachen Austausch von MQTT gegen andere Transporte
+- ✅ **Vollständiges Audit-Log** aller Nachrichten
+- ✅ **Queue-basiertes Design** für Skalierbarkeit
+
+## Architektur
+
+```
+Application Layer (MessageController, Services)
+        ↓
+MessageDeliveryService (Envelope-Wrapping, Queue-Management)
+        ↓
+MessagingTransport Interface (Protokoll-Abstraktion)
+        ↓
+MqttTransportAdapter (MQTT-spezifische Implementierung)
+        ↓
+MqttV5ClientManager (HiveMQ Client)
+```
+
+## Komponenten
+
+### 1. Datenmodelle (`messaging/model/`)
+
+#### MessageEnvelope
+Wrapper für alle Nachrichten mit Metadaten:
+- `messageId`: Eindeutige UUID
+- `timestamp`: Erstellungszeitpunkt
+- `topic`: Ziel-Topic
+- `payload`: Ursprüngliche Nachricht
+- `requiresAck`: Bestätigung erforderlich?
+- `retryCount`: Anzahl Wiederholungsversuche
+- `expiresAt`: Ablaufzeitpunkt
+
+#### PendingDelivery
+Tracking-Objekt für ausstehende Zustellungen:
+- `messageId`: Referenz zur Envelope
+- `status`: PENDING, SENT, ACKNOWLEDGED, FAILED, EXPIRED
+- `retryCount`: Aktuelle Wiederholungsversuche
+- `nextRetryAt`: Zeitpunkt des nächsten Versuchs
+- `envelopeData`: Serialisierte Envelope-Daten
+
+#### AcknowledgmentMessage
+Bestätigungsnachricht vom Client:
+- `messageId`: ID der bestätigten Nachricht
+- `status`: RECEIVED, PROCESSED, FAILED
+- `clientId`: Absender der Bestätigung
+- `errorMessage`: Optional bei Fehler
+
+### 2. Transport Layer (`messaging/transport/`)
+
+#### MessagingTransport Interface
+Protokoll-agnostische Schnittstelle:
+```java
+CompletableFuture<Void> send(String topic, byte[] payload, TransportOptions options);
+void subscribe(String topicPattern, MessageHandler handler);
+boolean isConnected();
+String getTransportType();
+```
+
+#### MqttTransportAdapter
+MQTT-Implementierung des Transport-Interfaces:
+- Adaptiert HiveMQ MQTT Client
+- Unterstützt MQTT-Wildcards (+ und #)
+- QoS-Mapping (0, 1, 2)
+
+### 3. Delivery Service (`messaging/delivery/`)
+
+#### MessageDeliveryService
+Zentrale Orchestrierung:
+- `sendMessage()`: Nachricht mit Tracking senden
+- `handleIncomingMessage()`: Eingehende Envelope verarbeiten
+- `handleAcknowledgment()`: Bestätigung verarbeiten
+- `retryPendingDeliveries()`: Wiederholungsversuche durchführen
+- `cleanupOldDeliveries()`: Alte Einträge aufräumen
+
+#### AcknowledgmentHandler
+Routing eingehender Nachrichten zur Anwendungslogik:
+- Unwrapping der Envelope
+- Routing basierend auf Topic-Pattern
+- Delegation an MessageController
+
+#### RetryScheduler
+Geplante Tasks:
+- Retry-Task: Alle 30 Sekunden (konfigurierbar)
+- Cleanup-Task: Stündlich (konfigurierbar)
+
+### 4. Repositories
+
+#### MessageEnvelopeRepository
+Speicherung aller Envelope-Objekte in MongoDB Collection `message_envelopes`
+
+#### PendingDeliveryRepository
+Tracking ausstehender Zustellungen in MongoDB Collection `pending_deliveries`
+
+## Nachrichtenfluss
+
+### Outbound (Server → Client)
+
+1. **Anwendung** ruft `MessageDeliveryService.sendMessage()` auf
+2. **MessageEnvelope** wird erstellt mit eindeutiger `messageId`
+3. **PendingDelivery** wird in Datenbank gespeichert (Status: PENDING)
+4. **Envelope** wird als JSON serialisiert
+5. **Transport** sendet Nachricht via MQTT
+6. **Status** wird auf SENT aktualisiert, `nextRetryAt` gesetzt
+7. **Client** empfängt Nachricht und sendet ACK
+8. **AcknowledgmentHandler** verarbeitet ACK
+9. **PendingDelivery** wird auf ACKNOWLEDGED gesetzt
+
+### Inbound (Client → Server)
+
+1. **MQTT** empfängt Nachricht auf Topic
+2. **MqttTransportAdapter** leitet an MessageDeliveryService weiter
+3. **MessageEnvelope** wird aus JSON deserialisiert
+4. **ACK** wird automatisch an Client gesendet (falls `requiresAck=true`)
+5. **AcknowledgmentHandler** routet Payload zur Anwendung
+6. **MessageController** verarbeitet Business-Logik
+
+## Retry-Mechanismus
+
+### Exponential Backoff
+```
+Versuch 1: 5 Sekunden
+Versuch 2: 10 Sekunden (5s × 2.0)
+Versuch 3: 20 Sekunden (10s × 2.0)
+Versuch 4: 40 Sekunden (20s × 2.0)
+Maximum: 5 Minuten
+```
+
+### Ablauf
+1. **RetryScheduler** läuft alle 30 Sekunden
+2. Findet alle `PendingDelivery` mit Status SENT und `nextRetryAt` in Vergangenheit
+3. Prüft auf Ablauf (`expiresAt`) und Max-Retries
+4. Sendet Nachricht erneut via Transport
+5. Aktualisiert `retryCount` und `nextRetryAt`
+
+## Konfiguration
+
+### application.properties
+```properties
+# Message Delivery Layer Configuration
+app.messaging.delivery.max-retries=3
+app.messaging.delivery.retry-initial-delay=5s
+app.messaging.delivery.retry-max-delay=5m
+app.messaging.delivery.retry-backoff-multiplier=2.0
+app.messaging.delivery.ack-timeout=30s
+app.messaging.delivery.message-expiry=24h
+app.messaging.delivery.cleanup-interval-minutes=60
+app.messaging.delivery.retry-interval-seconds=30
+app.messaging.delivery.acknowledged-retention-days=7
+```
+
+## MQTT Topics
+
+### Outbound (Server → Client)
+```
+/client/{clientId}/message          # Chat-Nachrichten (wrapped)
+/client/{clientId}/jobs             # Job-Zuweisungen (wrapped)
+/client/{clientId}/auth             # Login-Antworten (wrapped)
+```
+
+### Inbound (Client → Server)
+```
+/server/{clientId}/task_completed   # Task-Abschlüsse (wrapped)
+/server/{clientId}/message          # Chat-Nachrichten (wrapped)
+/server/{clientId}/jobs/assigned    # Job-Anfragen (wrapped)
+/server/login                       # Login-Anfragen (wrapped)
+```
+
+### Acknowledgments
+```
+/ack/server/{messageId}             # Client → Server ACK
+/ack/client/{clientId}/{messageId}  # Server → Client ACK
+```
+
+## Migration bestehender Clients
+
+### Phase 1: Server-seitig (✅ Abgeschlossen)
+- Message Delivery Layer implementiert
+- MqttPublisher nutzt jetzt MessageDeliveryService
+- Backward-kompatibel: Legacy-Nachrichten werden weiterhin verarbeitet
+
+### Phase 2: Client-seitig (TODO)
+Flutter-App muss angepasst werden:
+
+1. **Envelope-Handling**
+   ```dart
+   class MessageEnvelope {
+     String messageId;
+     DateTime timestamp;
+     String topic;
+     Map<String, dynamic> payload;
+     bool requiresAck;
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Empfang**
+   ```dart
+   void handleIncomingMessage(String topic, String json) {
+     final envelope = MessageEnvelope.fromJson(json);
+     
+     // ACK senden
+     if (envelope.requiresAck) {
+       sendAcknowledgment(envelope.messageId);
+     }
+     
+     // Payload verarbeiten
+     processPayload(envelope.payload);
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **ACK senden**
+   ```dart
+   void sendAcknowledgment(String messageId) {
+     final ack = {
+       'messageId': messageId,
+       'status': 'RECEIVED',
+       'timestamp': DateTime.now().toIso8601String(),
+       'clientId': myClientId
+     };
+     
+     mqtt.publish('/ack/server/$messageId', jsonEncode(ack));
+   }
+   ```
+
+4. **Senden**
+   ```dart
+   void sendMessage(String topic, Map<String, dynamic> payload) {
+     final envelope = MessageEnvelope(
+       messageId: Uuid().v4(),
+       timestamp: DateTime.now(),
+       topic: topic,
+       payload: payload,
+       requiresAck: true
+     );
+     
+     mqtt.publish(topic, jsonEncode(envelope.toJson()));
+   }
+   ```
+
+## Monitoring & Debugging
+
+### Logging
+Alle Komponenten loggen mit Präfix:
+- `[MessageDelivery]`: MessageDeliveryService
+- `[MqttTransport]`: MqttTransportAdapter
+- `[AckHandler]`: AcknowledgmentHandler
+- `[RetryScheduler]`: RetryScheduler
+- `[MessagingConfig]`: MessagingConfig
+
+### Datenbank-Queries
+
+**Ausstehende Zustellungen:**
+```javascript
+db.pending_deliveries.find({ status: "SENT" })
+```
+
+**Fehlgeschlagene Zustellungen:**
+```javascript
+db.pending_deliveries.find({ status: "FAILED" })
+```
+
+**Retry-Statistiken:**
+```javascript
+db.pending_deliveries.aggregate([
+  { $group: { _id: "$status", count: { $sum: 1 } } }
+])
+```
+
+**Nachrichten eines Clients:**
+```javascript
+db.pending_deliveries.find({ client_id: "client123" })
+```
+
+## Vorteile
+
+### Zuverlässigkeit
+- Garantierte Zustellung durch Retry-Mechanismus
+- Persistierung in MongoDB verhindert Datenverlust
+- Acknowledgment-Tracking für Nachvollziehbarkeit
+
+### Skalierbarkeit
+- Queue-basiertes Design
+- Asynchrone Verarbeitung mit CompletableFuture
+- Scheduled Tasks für Hintergrundverarbeitung
+
+### Wartbarkeit
+- Klare Trennung der Verantwortlichkeiten
+- Protokoll-Abstraktion ermöglicht einfachen Austausch
+- Umfangreiches Logging für Debugging
+
+### Flexibilität
+- Konfigurierbare Retry-Parameter
+- Verschiedene DeliveryOptions (standard, fireAndForget, critical)
+- Erweiterbar für andere Transporte (WebSocket, gRPC, etc.)
+
+## Nächste Schritte
+
+1. ✅ Server-seitige Implementierung abgeschlossen
+2. ⏳ Flutter-App anpassen (Envelope-Handling)
+3. ⏳ Integration-Tests schreiben
+4. ⏳ Monitoring-Dashboard erstellen

+# MQTT Migration Guide - Client Implementation
+
+## Übersicht
+
+Dieses Dokument beschreibt die Änderungen am MQTT-Messaging-System und wie mobile Clients (Flutter/Dart) auf den neuen Messaging-Layer umgestellt werden müssen.
+
+## Änderungen am Server
+
+### 1. Neue MQTT-Broker-Konfiguration
+
+**Wichtig: Der MQTT-Broker-Port hat sich geändert!**
+
+```
+Alter Port: 1883
+Neuer Port: 42099
+Broker: mqtt-2.assecutor.de:42099
+```
+
+### 2. Server-Konfiguration
+
+Die Server-Konfiguration wurde von der alten `app.mqtt.*` Konfiguration auf das neue Plugin-System umgestellt:
+
+**Alte Konfiguration (nicht mehr verwendet):**
+```properties
+app.mqtt.enabled=true
+app.mqtt.broker-uri=mqtt://mqtt-2.assecutor.de
+app.mqtt.client-id=server-${random.uuid}
+```
+
+**Neue Konfiguration:**
+```properties
+# Messaging Plugin Configuration
+app.messaging.plugin.type=mqtt
+app.messaging.plugin.mqtt.broker.host=mqtt-2.assecutor.de
+app.messaging.plugin.mqtt.broker.port=42099
+app.messaging.plugin.mqtt.username=app
+app.messaging.plugin.mqtt.password=apppwd
+app.messaging.plugin.mqtt.client.id=votianlt-server
+```
+
+### 3. Verbesserte Fehlerbehandlung
+
+Der Server hat jetzt:
+- Erhöhten Connection-Timeout (60 Sekunden statt 30)
+- Detaillierte Fehlerdiagnose für Verbindungsprobleme
+- Automatische Wiederverbindung mit exponentieller Backoff-Strategie
+
+## Client-Anpassungen erforderlich
+
+### 1. MQTT-Broker-Verbindung aktualisieren
+
+**Flutter/Dart Beispiel:**
+
+```dart
+import 'package:mqtt_client/mqtt_client.dart';
+import 'package:mqtt_client/mqtt_server_client.dart';
+
+class MqttService {
+  // WICHTIG: Neuer Port!
+  static const String BROKER_HOST = 'mqtt-2.assecutor.de';
+  static const int BROKER_PORT = 42099;  // Geändert von 1883
+  
+  static const String USERNAME = 'app';
+  static const String PASSWORD = 'apppwd';
+  
+  late MqttServerClient client;
+  
+  Future<void> connect(String clientId) async {
+    client = MqttServerClient.withPort(
+      BROKER_HOST,
+      clientId,
+      BROKER_PORT,  // Neuer Port
+    );
+    
+    client.logging(on: true);
+    client.keepAlivePeriod = 60;
+    client.connectTimeoutPeriod = 60000; // 60 Sekunden
+    client.autoReconnect = true;
+    
+    // Authentifizierung
+    client.setProtocolV311();
+    
+    final connMessage = MqttConnectMessage()
+        .withClientIdentifier(clientId)
+        .authenticateAs(USERNAME, PASSWORD)
+        .withWillQos(MqttQos.atLeastOnce)
+        .startClean()
+        .keepAliveFor(60);
+    
+    client.connectionMessage = connMessage;
+    
+    try {
+      await client.connect();
+      print('MQTT Connected successfully');
+    } catch (e) {
+      print('MQTT Connection failed: $e');
+      client.disconnect();
+      rethrow;
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Topic-Struktur (unverändert)
+
+Die Topic-Struktur bleibt gleich:
+
+**Client → Server:**
+```
+/server/{clientId}/{messageType}
+```
+
+**Server → Client:**
+```
+/client/{clientId}/{messageType}
+```
+
+**Acknowledgments:**
+```
+Client → Server: /ack/server/{messageId}
+Server → Client: /ack/client/{clientId}/{messageId}
+```
+
+### 3. Message Envelope Format
+
+Der Server verwendet jetzt ein Message-Envelope-Format für alle Nachrichten:
+
+```json
+{
+  "messageId": "uuid-v4",
+  "timestamp": "2025-10-22T10:30:00Z",
+  "topic": "/client/app-user-123/jobs/assigned",
+  "payload": {
+    // Ihre eigentliche Nachricht
+  },
+  "requiresAck": true,
+  "retryCount": 0,
+  "expiresAt": "2025-10-23T10:30:00Z"
+}
+```
+
+**Client-Implementierung:**
+
+```dart
+class MessageEnvelope {
+  final String messageId;
+  final DateTime timestamp;
+  final String topic;
+  final Map<String, dynamic> payload;
+  final bool requiresAck;
+  final int retryCount;
+  final DateTime? expiresAt;
+  
+  MessageEnvelope({
+    required this.messageId,
+    required this.timestamp,
+    required this.topic,
+    required this.payload,
+    this.requiresAck = true,
+    this.retryCount = 0,
+    this.expiresAt,
+  });
+  
+  factory MessageEnvelope.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) {
+    return MessageEnvelope(
+      messageId: json['messageId'],
+      timestamp: DateTime.parse(json['timestamp']),
+      topic: json['topic'],
+      payload: json['payload'],
+      requiresAck: json['requiresAck'] ?? true,
+      retryCount: json['retryCount'] ?? 0,
+      expiresAt: json['expiresAt'] != null 
+          ? DateTime.parse(json['expiresAt']) 
+          : null,
+    );
+  }
+  
+  Map<String, dynamic> toJson() {
+    return {
+      'messageId': messageId,
+      'timestamp': timestamp.toIso8601String(),
+      'topic': topic,
+      'payload': payload,
+      'requiresAck': requiresAck,
+      'retryCount': retryCount,
+      'expiresAt': expiresAt?.toIso8601String(),
+    };
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Acknowledgment-Handling
+
+Wenn eine Nachricht mit `requiresAck: true` empfangen wird, muss der Client eine Bestätigung senden:
+
+```dart
+class AcknowledgmentMessage {
+  final String messageId;
+  final DateTime timestamp;
+  final String status; // "SUCCESS" oder "FAILED"
+  final String? errorMessage;
+  
+  AcknowledgmentMessage({
+    required this.messageId,
+    required this.timestamp,
+    required this.status,
+    this.errorMessage,
+  });
+  
+  Map<String, dynamic> toJson() {
+    return {
+      'messageId': messageId,
+      'timestamp': timestamp.toIso8601String(),
+      'status': status,
+      if (errorMessage != null) 'errorMessage': errorMessage,
+    };
+  }
+}
+
+// Verwendung:
+void sendAcknowledgment(String messageId, bool success, [String? error]) {
+  final ack = AcknowledgmentMessage(
+    messageId: messageId,
+    timestamp: DateTime.now(),
+    status: success ? 'SUCCESS' : 'FAILED',
+    errorMessage: error,
+  );
+  
+  final topic = '/ack/server/$messageId';
+  final payload = jsonEncode(ack.toJson());
+  
+  final builder = MqttClientPayloadBuilder();
+  builder.addString(payload);
+  
+  client.publishMessage(
+    topic,
+    MqttQos.exactlyOnce,
+    builder.payload!,
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Nachrichten empfangen und verarbeiten
+
+```dart
+void setupMessageHandlers() {
+  client.updates!.listen((List<MqttReceivedMessage<MqttMessage>> messages) {
+    for (var message in messages) {
+      final topic = message.topic;
+      final payload = MqttPublishPayload.bytesToStringAsString(
+        (message.payload as MqttPublishMessage).payload.message,
+      );
+      
+      try {
+        final json = jsonDecode(payload);
+        
+        // Prüfen, ob es ein Envelope ist
+        if (json.containsKey('messageId') && json.containsKey('payload')) {
+          final envelope = MessageEnvelope.fromJson(json);
+          
+          // Nachricht verarbeiten
+          handleMessage(envelope);
+          
+          // ACK senden, wenn erforderlich
+          if (envelope.requiresAck) {
+            sendAcknowledgment(envelope.messageId, true);
+          }
+        } else {
+          // Legacy-Nachricht ohne Envelope
+          handleLegacyMessage(topic, json);
+        }
+      } catch (e) {
+        print('Error processing message: $e');
+        // Bei Envelope-Nachrichten: Fehler-ACK senden
+        if (json.containsKey('messageId')) {
+          sendAcknowledgment(json['messageId'], false, e.toString());
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  });
+}
+```
+
+### 6. Nachrichten senden
+
+```dart
+Future<void> sendMessage(
+  String messageType,
+  Map<String, dynamic> payload,
+  {bool requiresAck = true}
+) async {
+  final envelope = MessageEnvelope(
+    messageId: Uuid().v4(),
+    timestamp: DateTime.now(),
+    topic: '/server/$clientId/$messageType',
+    payload: payload,
+    requiresAck: requiresAck,
+  );
+  
+  final topic = envelope.topic;
+  final message = jsonEncode(envelope.toJson());
+  
+  final builder = MqttClientPayloadBuilder();
+  builder.addString(message);
+  
+  client.publishMessage(
+    topic,
+    MqttQos.exactlyOnce,
+    builder.payload!,
+  );
+  
+  print('Message sent: $messageType');
+}
+```
+
+## Migration Checklist für Clients
+
+- [ ] **MQTT-Broker-Port auf 42099 ändern**
+- [ ] **Connection-Timeout auf mindestens 60 Sekunden erhöhen**
+- [ ] **Keep-Alive auf 60 Sekunden setzen**
+- [ ] **Authentifizierung hinzufügen** (username: `app`, password: `apppwd`)
+- [ ] **MessageEnvelope-Klasse implementieren**
+- [ ] **AcknowledgmentMessage-Klasse implementieren**
+- [ ] **Envelope-basierte Nachrichtenverarbeitung implementieren**
+- [ ] **ACK-Handling für eingehende Nachrichten implementieren**
+- [ ] **Ausgehende Nachrichten in Envelopes verpacken**
+- [ ] **Fehlerbehandlung für abgelaufene Nachrichten implementieren**
+- [ ] **Retry-Logik für fehlgeschlagene Nachrichten implementieren**
+
+## Abwärtskompatibilität
+
+Der Server unterstützt derzeit noch Legacy-Nachrichten ohne Envelope-Format, aber es wird empfohlen, so schnell wie möglich auf das neue Format umzustellen.
+
+**Legacy-Format (wird noch unterstützt):**
+```json
+{
+  "taskId": "123",
+  "status": "completed"
+}
+```
+
+**Neues Format (empfohlen):**
+```json
+{
+  "messageId": "uuid",
+  "timestamp": "2025-10-22T10:30:00Z",
+  "topic": "/server/client-123/task_completed",
+  "payload": {
+    "taskId": "123",
+    "status": "completed"
+  },
+  "requiresAck": true
+}
+```
+
+## Vorteile des neuen Systems
+
+1. **Zuverlässige Zustellung**: ACK-basiertes System mit automatischen Wiederholungen
+2. **Nachrichtenverfolgung**: Jede Nachricht hat eine eindeutige ID
+3. **Ablaufverwaltung**: Nachrichten können ablaufen und werden automatisch bereinigt
+4. **Bessere Fehlerbehandlung**: Detaillierte Fehlerinformationen
+5. **Monitoring**: Vollständige Nachrichtenverfolgung im System
+
+## Testen der Verbindung
+
+```dart
+Future<void> testConnection() async {
+  try {
+    final mqttService = MqttService();
+    await mqttService.connect('test-client-${Uuid().v4()}');
+    
+    // Test-Nachricht senden
+    await mqttService.sendMessage(
+      'test',
+      {'message': 'Hello from client'},
+    );
+    
+    print('Connection test successful!');
+  } catch (e) {
+    print('Connection test failed: $e');
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Support und Fragen
+
+Bei Fragen oder Problemen während der Migration:
+1. Prüfen Sie die Logs auf beiden Seiten (Client und Server)
+2. Stellen Sie sicher, dass der Port 42099 erreichbar ist
+3. Überprüfen Sie die Authentifizierungsdaten
+4. Testen Sie die Verbindung mit einem MQTT-Client-Tool (z.B. MQTT Explorer)

+# MQTT Quick Reference - Client Migration
+
+## 🚨 Kritische Änderungen
+
+### Port-Änderung (WICHTIG!)
+```
+Alt: mqtt-2.assecutor.de:1883
+Neu: mqtt-2.assecutor.de:42099
+```
+
+### Authentifizierung (NEU!)
+```
+Username: app
+Password: apppwd
+```
+
+### Timeout-Erhöhung
+```
+Connection Timeout: 60 Sekunden (vorher 30s)
+Keep-Alive: 60 Sekunden (vorher 30s)
+```
+
+## 📋 Flutter/Dart Code-Snippets
+
+### 1. Verbindung herstellen
+
+```dart
+import 'package:mqtt_client/mqtt_client.dart';
+import 'package:mqtt_client/mqtt_server_client.dart';
+
+Future<MqttServerClient> connectToMqtt(String clientId) async {
+  final client = MqttServerClient.withPort(
+    'mqtt-2.assecutor.de',
+    clientId,
+    42099,  // NEUER PORT!
+  );
+  
+  client.keepAlivePeriod = 60;
+  client.connectTimeoutPeriod = 60000;
+  client.autoReconnect = true;
+  client.setProtocolV311();
+  
+  final connMessage = MqttConnectMessage()
+      .withClientIdentifier(clientId)
+      .authenticateAs('app', 'apppwd')  // NEU: Authentifizierung
+      .withWillQos(MqttQos.atLeastOnce)
+      .startClean()
+      .keepAliveFor(60);
+  
+  client.connectionMessage = connMessage;
+  
+  await client.connect();
+  return client;
+}
+```
+
+### 2. Message Envelope (NEU!)
+
+```dart
+class MessageEnvelope {
+  final String messageId;
+  final DateTime timestamp;
+  final String topic;
+  final Map<String, dynamic> payload;
+  final bool requiresAck;
+  final int retryCount;
+  final DateTime? expiresAt;
+  
+  MessageEnvelope({
+    required this.messageId,
+    required this.timestamp,
+    required this.topic,
+    required this.payload,
+    this.requiresAck = true,
+    this.retryCount = 0,
+    this.expiresAt,
+  });
+  
+  factory MessageEnvelope.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) {
+    return MessageEnvelope(
+      messageId: json['messageId'],
+      timestamp: DateTime.parse(json['timestamp']),
+      topic: json['topic'],
+      payload: json['payload'],
+      requiresAck: json['requiresAck'] ?? true,
+      retryCount: json['retryCount'] ?? 0,
+      expiresAt: json['expiresAt'] != null 
+          ? DateTime.parse(json['expiresAt']) 
+          : null,
+    );
+  }
+  
+  Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => {
+    'messageId': messageId,
+    'timestamp': timestamp.toIso8601String(),
+    'topic': topic,
+    'payload': payload,
+    'requiresAck': requiresAck,
+    'retryCount': retryCount,
+    if (expiresAt != null) 'expiresAt': expiresAt!.toIso8601String(),
+  };
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Nachricht senden
+
+```dart
+import 'package:uuid/uuid.dart';
+import 'dart:convert';
+
+Future<void> sendMessage(
+  MqttServerClient client,
+  String clientId,
+  String messageType,
+  Map<String, dynamic> payload,
+) async {
+  final envelope = MessageEnvelope(
+    messageId: Uuid().v4(),
+    timestamp: DateTime.now(),
+    topic: '/server/$clientId/$messageType',
+    payload: payload,
+    requiresAck: true,
+  );
+  
+  final builder = MqttClientPayloadBuilder();
+  builder.addString(jsonEncode(envelope.toJson()));
+  
+  client.publishMessage(
+    envelope.topic,
+    MqttQos.exactlyOnce,
+    builder.payload!,
+  );
+}
+
+// Beispiel-Verwendung:
+await sendMessage(
+  client,
+  'app-user-123',
+  'task_completed',
+  {
+    'taskId': '456',
+    'status': 'completed',
+    'completedAt': DateTime.now().toIso8601String(),
+  },
+);
+```
+
+### 4. Nachricht empfangen
+
+```dart
+void setupMessageListener(MqttServerClient client, String clientId) {
+  // Subscribe zu allen relevanten Topics
+  client.subscribe('/client/$clientId/#', MqttQos.exactlyOnce);
+  client.subscribe('/ack/client/$clientId/#', MqttQos.exactlyOnce);
+  
+  client.updates!.listen((List<MqttReceivedMessage<MqttMessage>> messages) {
+    for (var message in messages) {
+      final topic = message.topic;
+      final payloadString = MqttPublishPayload.bytesToStringAsString(
+        (message.payload as MqttPublishMessage).payload.message,
+      );
+      
+      try {
+        final json = jsonDecode(payloadString);
+        
+        // Prüfen ob Envelope-Format
+        if (json.containsKey('messageId') && json.containsKey('payload')) {
+          final envelope = MessageEnvelope.fromJson(json);
+          
+          // Nachricht verarbeiten
+          handleEnvelopeMessage(envelope);
+          
+          // ACK senden wenn erforderlich
+          if (envelope.requiresAck) {
+            sendAck(client, envelope.messageId, true);
+          }
+        } else {
+          // Legacy-Format
+          handleLegacyMessage(topic, json);
+        }
+      } catch (e) {
+        print('Error processing message: $e');
+      }
+    }
+  });
+}
+```
+
+### 5. Acknowledgment senden (NEU!)
+
+```dart
+class AcknowledgmentMessage {
+  final String messageId;
+  final DateTime timestamp;
+  final String status;
+  final String? errorMessage;
+  
+  AcknowledgmentMessage({
+    required this.messageId,
+    required this.timestamp,
+    required this.status,
+    this.errorMessage,
+  });
+  
+  Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => {
+    'messageId': messageId,
+    'timestamp': timestamp.toIso8601String(),
+    'status': status,
+    if (errorMessage != null) 'errorMessage': errorMessage,
+  };
+}
+
+void sendAck(
+  MqttServerClient client,
+  String messageId,
+  bool success,
+  [String? errorMessage]
+) {
+  final ack = AcknowledgmentMessage(
+    messageId: messageId,
+    timestamp: DateTime.now(),
+    status: success ? 'SUCCESS' : 'FAILED',
+    errorMessage: errorMessage,
+  );
+  
+  final topic = '/ack/server/$messageId';
+  final builder = MqttClientPayloadBuilder();
+  builder.addString(jsonEncode(ack.toJson()));
+  
+  client.publishMessage(
+    topic,
+    MqttQos.exactlyOnce,
+    builder.payload!,
+  );
+}
+```
+
+## 📊 Topic-Struktur (unverändert)
+
+### Client → Server
+```
+/server/{clientId}/task_completed
+/server/{clientId}/login
+/server/{clientId}/message
+/server/{clientId}/jobs/assigned
+```
+
+### Server → Client
+```
+/client/{clientId}/jobs/assigned
+/client/{clientId}/message
+/client/{clientId}/task_update
+```
+
+### Acknowledgments
+```
+Client → Server: /ack/server/{messageId}
+Server → Client: /ack/client/{clientId}/{messageId}
+```
+
+## 🔍 Debugging
+
+### Verbindung testen
+
+```dart
+Future<void> testConnection() async {
+  try {
+    final client = await connectToMqtt('test-${Uuid().v4()}');
+    
+    if (client.connectionStatus!.state == MqttConnectionState.connected) {
+      print('✅ Connection successful!');
+      
+      // Test-Nachricht senden
+      await sendMessage(
+        client,
+        'test-client',
+        'test',
+        {'message': 'Hello from client'},
+      );
+      
+      print('✅ Test message sent!');
+    } else {
+      print('❌ Connection failed: ${client.connectionStatus}');
+    }
+  } catch (e) {
+    print('❌ Error: $e');
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Häufige Fehler
+
+#### 1. Connection Timeout
+```
+Fehler: TimeoutException after 60 seconds
+Lösung: 
+- Prüfen Sie, ob Port 42099 erreichbar ist
+- Firewall-Einstellungen überprüfen
+- Netzwerkverbindung testen
+```
+
+#### 2. Authentication Failed
+```
+Fehler: Connection refused
+Lösung:
+- Username: 'app'
+- Password: 'apppwd'
+- Stellen Sie sicher, dass authenticateAs() aufgerufen wird
+```
+
+#### 3. Message not received
+```
+Fehler: Keine Nachrichten empfangen
+Lösung:
+- Subscription überprüfen: client.subscribe('/client/$clientId/#', ...)
+- Listener registriert: client.updates!.listen(...)
+- Topic-Format korrekt: /client/{clientId}/{messageType}
+```
+
+## 📦 Dependencies
+
+### pubspec.yaml
+```yaml
+dependencies:
+  mqtt_client: ^10.2.0
+  uuid: ^4.0.0
+```
+

+- **Architektur**: `MESSAGING_LAYER.md`
+- **API-Referenz**: `MQTT_README.md`
+
+## 💡 Best Practices
+
+1. **Eindeutige Client-IDs**: Verwenden Sie stabile, geräte-spezifische IDs
+2. **Fehlerbehandlung**: Implementieren Sie Retry-Logik für fehlgeschlagene Verbindungen
+3. **ACK-Timeout**: Warten Sie maximal 30 Sekunden auf ACKs
+4. **Message-Expiry**: Prüfen Sie `expiresAt` vor der Verarbeitung
+5. **Logging**: Loggen Sie alle Verbindungsereignisse für Debugging
+
+## 🆘 Support
+
+Bei Problemen:
+1. Logs auf Client- und Server-Seite prüfen
+2. Netzwerk-Konnektivität testen (Port 42099)
+3. MQTT-Client-Tool verwenden (z.B. MQTT Explorer)
+4. Dokumentation konsultieren
