---

## ✅ Completed Work

### Phase 1: UI Re-Architecture
- [x] **Cycle 1:** Architecture plan elaborated with Gemini 3 Pro
- [x] **Cycle 2:** Implementation completed
  - [x] Enhanced app-store.js with project management
  - [x] Created ds-project-selector component
  - [x] Updated router.js with 6 module routes
  - [x] Restructured ds-shell.js navigation
  - [x] Created 6 feature module placeholders
- [x] **Cycle 3:** Expert code review conducted

### Critical & Medium Fixes Applied
- [x] **CRITICAL:** Fixed memory leak in ds-shell.js
  - Added disconnectedCallback() lifecycle method
  - Bound hashchange handler properly
  - Prevents event listener accumulation
- [x] **MEDIUM:** Improved error handling in app-store.js
  - fetchProjects() now clears errors on success
  - getProjectConfig() sets error state for UI feedback
  - Better distinction between empty results and API errors
- [x] **MEDIUM:** Fixed race condition in setupNavigationHighlight()
  - Wrapped DOM queries in requestAnimationFrame
  - Added element existence check
- [x] **COMPILATION:** TypeScript compiles with 0 errors
- [x] **BUILD:** Vite dev server runs successfully

- [ ] Verify project selector functionality
- [ ] Test hash-based routing (back/forward buttons)
- [ ] Verify no memory leaks over time (Chrome DevTools Memory profiler)
- [ ] Test error states (disconnect network, verify error messages)

### Documentation

## 🚀 Deployment Steps

### 1. Backend Server
```bash
cd /home/overbits/dss/server
npm run build  # If using TypeScript compilation
pm2 start server.js --name dss-server  # Or your process manager
pm2 save
```

### 2. Frontend Admin UI
```bash
cd /home/overbits/dss/admin-ui
npm run build
# Serve dist/ folder via nginx, Apache, or CDN
```

### 3. Environment Variables
Ensure these are set in production:
- `NODE_ENV=production`
- `DATABASE_URL=<production_db>`
- `REDIS_URL=<production_redis>`
- `CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY=<secure_32_byte_key>` (NOT the default!)
- `JWT_SECRET=<secure_secret>`
- `ENABLE_REDIS_CACHE=true`

### 4. Database Migrations
```bash
cd /home/overbits/dss/server
npx sequelize-cli db:migrate
```

### 5. Health Checks
- [ ] GET /health returns HTTP 200
- [ ] GET /api/projects returns valid response
- [ ] Frontend loads at root URL
- [ ] Navigation between modules works
- [ ] Project selector displays projects
- [ ] No console errors in browser

## 📊 System Status

### Backend Services
- **Status:** ✅ Running
- **Port:** 3001
- **Health:** /health endpoint active
- **Features:**
  - RBAC with Redis caching
  - Configuration cascade (System → Project → User)
  - Discovery worker with component scanning
  - Audit logging

### Frontend Admin UI
- **Status:** ✅ Running (dev: port 3456)
- **Build:** ✅ Vite compiles successfully
- **Architecture:** 6 feature modules
  - Projects (📁)
  - Configuration (⚙️)
  - Components (🧩)
  - Translations (🔄) - DSS Principle #2
  - Discovery (🔍)
  - Admin (👤)

## 🐛 Known Issues (Low Priority)

### For Future Sprints
1. **Inline Styles:** Navigation uses inline styles instead of CSS classes
   - **Impact:** Makes theming slightly harder
   - **Priority:** Low
   - **Effort:** 1-2 hours

2. **No Loading States:** Module imports show blank screen briefly
   - **Impact:** Minor UX issue
   - **Priority:** Low
   - **Effort:** 2-3 hours

3. **No Route Guards:** Admin routes lack permission checks
   - **Impact:** Backend still enforces, but UI allows navigation
   - **Priority:** Low (backend protected)
   - **Effort:** 3-4 hours

4. **Static Module Placeholders:** Modules don't display real data yet
   - **Impact:** Expected for Phase 1
   - **Priority:** Phase 2 work
   - **Effort:** Multiple sprints

## 🎯 Success Criteria

### Phase 1 Goals (All Met)
- [x] Replace arbitrary "workdesk" metaphor with feature-aligned modules
- [x] Align UI structure with backend API capabilities
- [x] Provide foundation for implementing real functionality
- [x] Maintain backward compatibility with existing components
- [x] Address all critical and medium priority issues

### Production Readiness
- [x] No critical issues remaining
- [x] Application compiles and runs
- [x] Memory leaks resolved
- [x] Error handling improved
- [ ] Manual testing completed (pending user verification)

## 📈 Next Phase Planning

### Phase 2: Feature Implementation
**Priority Order:**
1. **Projects Module** - Create/edit/delete projects, metadata management
2. **Configuration Module** - Visual editor for 3-tier config cascade
3. **Translations Module** - **CRITICAL:** DSS Principle #2 - Zero UI currently exists
4. **Components Module** - Registry browser, health status, documentation links
5. **Discovery Module** - Scanner UI, activity logs, analytics dashboard
6. **Admin Module** - RBAC interface, user management, audit logs

**Estimated Timeline:** 4-6 sprints (2-3 months)

## 📝 Notes

### Architecture Decisions
- Chose hash-based routing over history API for simplicity
- Web Components pattern for consistency across modules
- Centralized state management via app-store.js
- Dynamic imports for code splitting

### Technical Debt
- Consider migrating inline styles to CSS classes
- Add route guards with permission checks
- Implement loading skeletons for module imports
- Add comprehensive unit tests

### Security Considerations
- Backend enforces all authorization
- Frontend navigation is cosmetic only
- All API calls require authentication
- RBAC permissions validated server-side
