 # TODO
 This file tracks the delta between what the documentation promises and what is
 actually implemented in the codebase. Use it as a guide for future development.
 For the full development roadmap, see [docs/development/roadmap.md](docs/development/roadmap.md).
 For detailed milestone specifications, see [docs/milestones.md](docs/milestones.md).
 ---
 ## Implemented (Working)
 These features are documented and confirmed working in the codebase:
 - [x] **DMARC Aggregate Report Parsing** — XML, ZIP, and GZIP formats supported
      via `defusedxml` (`backend/app/services/dmarc_parser.py`)
 - [x] **Database Persistence** — SQLAlchemy ORM with SQLite and PostgreSQL support,
      Alembic migrations (`backend/app/core/database.py`, `backend/app/models/`)
 - [x] **Report Upload** — Web interface for uploading DMARC reports with multi-layer
      file validation (`backend/app/api/api_v1/endpoints/reports.py`)
 - [x] **IMAP Integration** — Auto-fetch reports from mailbox with background
      scheduler (`backend/app/services/imap_client.py`)
 - [x] **Basic Dashboard** — Domain overview with compliance stats, Chart.js
      visualizations on domain detail page (`backend/app/templates/`)
 - [x] **Security Hardening** — Authentication middleware, security headers (CSP,
      HSTS, X-Frame-Options), defusedxml for XXE protection, restricted CORS,
      sanitized error responses (`backend/app/middleware/security.py`,
      `backend/app/core/security.py`)
 - [x] **Docker Deployment** — Docker Compose setup for production deployment
      (`docker-compose.yml`, `backend/Dockerfile`)
 - [x] **Setup Wizard** — Basic guided onboarding endpoints, though in-memory only
      (`backend/app/api/api_v1/endpoints/setup.py`)
 ---
 ## Documented but NOT Implemented
 The following features are described in the README, documentation, or roadmap but
 have no working implementation in the codebase yet.
 ### Cloudflare Integration
 - **Documented in**: README.md ("Cloudflare-integrated"), docs/development/roadmap.md (Milestone 8)
 - **Current state**: Configuration variables exist in `backend/app/core/config.py`
  (`CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN`, `CLOUDFLARE_ZONE_ID`) but no functional code uses them.
 - [ ] Automatic domain discovery from Cloudflare account
 - [ ] Fetch and analyze DNS records via Cloudflare API
 - [ ] Suggest missing or malformed DNS entries
 - [ ] Track configuration changes over time
 ### Alerts & Notifications (Apprise)
 - **Documented in**: README.md ("Integration with Apprise"), docs/development/roadmap.md (Milestone 6)
 - **Current state**: `apprise>=1.4.5` is listed in `backend/requirements.txt` but
  is never imported or used anywhere in the codebase.
 - [ ] Apprise integration for multi-channel notifications
 - [ ] Email, Slack, webhook alert delivery
 - [ ] Alert on new failures, compliance drops, or unknown senders
 - [ ] Customizable alert rules and notification preferences
 - [ ] Alert history and management
 ### Forensic Reports (RFC 6591)
 - **Documented in**: README.md ("Forensic Reports: Analyze failure samples (RFC 6591 support)")
 - **Current state**: The DMARC parser (`backend/app/services/dmarc_parser.py`) only
  handles aggregate reports. There is no forensic report parsing, UI, or storage.
 - [ ] Forensic report parsing
 - [ ] Failure sample analysis
 - [ ] PII redaction options
 - [ ] Detailed authentication failure views
 ### DNS Record Health Checks
 - **Documented in**: README.md ("Inspect SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX, and BIMI records"),
  docs/development/roadmap.md (Milestone 8)
 - **Current state**: The `/api/v1/domains/{domain_id}/dns` endpoint
  (`backend/app/api/api_v1/endpoints/domains.py`) returns hardcoded mock data.
  `dnspython>=2.3.0` is in `requirements.txt` but is never imported or used.
 - [ ] Real DNS lookups for SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and MX records
 - [ ] BIMI record support (zero code exists)
 - [ ] Identify missing, broken, or invalid records
 - [ ] Provider-specific fix suggestions (Google, Microsoft, etc.)
 - [ ] DNSSEC validation
 ### User Authentication & Multi-User Support
 - **Documented in**: README.md ("Built-in authentication via FastAPI Users"),
  docs/development/roadmap.md (Milestone 5)
 - **Current state**: A `User` model exists (`backend/app/models/user.py`) and
  `fastapi-users[sqlalchemy]` is in requirements, but FastAPI-Users is never wired
  up. There are no registration, login, or password-reset endpoints. Admin auth is
  API-key based only.
 - [ ] User registration and login endpoints
 - [ ] JWT-based session authentication for end users
 - [ ] Password reset functionality
 - [ ] Role-based access control (RBAC) per domain
 - [ ] Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
 - [ ] Email verification
 ### Dashboard Visualizations (Real Data)
 - **Documented in**: README.md ("Track pass/fail rates over time", "Volume & Trends")
 - **Current state**: The stats endpoints (`backend/app/utils/stats_summarizer.py`,
  `backend/app/api/api_v1/endpoints/domains.py`) return mock/random data with TODO
  comments like `# For now, mock statistics` and `# TODO: Replace with actual
  historical data`. Chart.js is integrated in templates but fed with mock data.
 - [ ] Historical trend charts with real data
 - [ ] Compliance rate visualizations from actual reports
 - [ ] Volume and sender analytics based on stored data
 - [ ] Time-series data from database
 - [ ] Domain comparison views
 ### Advanced Rule Engine
 - **Documented in**: docs/development/roadmap.md (Milestone 7)
 - **Current state**: Not implemented at all.
 - [ ] Custom alert conditions
 - [ ] Threshold-based triggers
 - [ ] New sender detection
 - [ ] Anomaly detection
 ### Advanced Analytics & Reporting
 - **Documented in**: docs/development/roadmap.md (Milestone 10)
 - **Current state**: Not implemented at all.
 - [ ] Historical trend analysis
 - [ ] Comparative reporting
 - [ ] Export capabilities (PDF, CSV)
 - [ ] Scheduled reports
 - [ ] Custom dashboards
 ### Enterprise Features
 - **Documented in**: docs/development/roadmap.md (Milestone 11)
 - **Current state**: Not implemented at all.
 - [ ] Multi-tenant architecture
 - [ ] API rate limiting (beyond basic)
 - [ ] Advanced RBAC
 - [ ] SSO integration (SAML, OAuth)
 - [ ] Compliance reporting (SOC 2, GDPR)
 ### Real-Time Features
 - **Documented in**: README.md ("real-time insights")
 - **Current state**: No WebSocket or real-time push functionality exists.
 - [ ] WebSocket or SSE for live dashboard updates
 ---
 ## Partially Implemented
 ### Setup Wizard
 - **Status**: Endpoints exist (`/api/v1/setup/status`, `/api/v1/setup/admin`,
  `/api/v1/setup/system`) but store data in memory only. Not persisted to database.
 - [ ] Persist setup configuration to database
 - [ ] Complete guided onboarding flow in the UI
 ### IMAP Credential Security
 - **Status**: IMAP integration works but credential storage needs improvement.
 - [ ] Encrypt IMAP credentials at rest
 - [ ] Add vault integration for secure credential storage
 - [ ] Audit logging for IMAP operations
 ---
 ## Housekeeping
 - [ ] Remove unused `apprise` from `requirements.txt` or implement alerts
 - [ ] Remove unused `dnspython` from `requirements.txt` or implement DNS checks
 - [ ] Remove or wire up `fastapi-users` (currently installed but unused)
 - [ ] Replace mock data in stats endpoints with real database queries
 - [ ] Replace mock DNS data with actual DNS lookups
 - [ ] Add CI/CD pipeline
 - [ ] Reach >80% test coverage
