+COMPARISON: Before vs After Refactoring
+
+BEFORE (Original Implementation):
+- ❌ Manual session authentication with repetitive code
+- ❌ Inconsistent error responses: { error: "...", details: "..." }
+- ❌ No input validation - accepts any query parameters
+- ❌ No rate limiting protection
+- ❌ No audit logging for security monitoring
+- ❌ Manual pagination parameter extraction
+- ❌ Inconsistent response format: { sessions, totalSessions }
+- ❌ Basic error logging without context
+- ❌ No company access validation
+- ❌ Performance issue: sequential database queries
+
+AFTER (Refactored with New Architecture):
+- ✅ Automatic authentication via createAuthenticatedHandler middleware
+- ✅ Standardized error responses with proper status codes and request IDs
+- ✅ Strong input validation with Zod schemas and type safety
+- ✅ Built-in rate limiting (60 req/min) with configurable limits
+- ✅ Automatic audit logging for security compliance
+- ✅ Automatic pagination handling via middleware
+- ✅ Consistent API response format with metadata
+- ✅ Comprehensive error handling with proper categorization
+- ✅ Automatic company access validation for multi-tenant security
+- ✅ Performance optimization: parallel database queries
+
+BENEFITS:
+1. **Consistency**: All endpoints follow the same patterns
+2. **Security**: Built-in auth, rate limiting, audit logging, company isolation
+3. **Maintainability**: Less boilerplate, centralized logic, type safety
+4. **Performance**: Optimized queries, caching headers, parallel execution
+5. **Developer Experience**: Better error messages, validation, debugging
+6. **Scalability**: Standardized patterns that can be applied across all endpoints
+
+MIGRATION STRATEGY:
+1. Replace the original route.ts with this refactored version
+2. Update any frontend code to expect the new response format
+3. Test thoroughly to ensure backward compatibility where needed
+4. Repeat this pattern for other endpoints
