📝 Notes

Dependencies Between Tasks

• Security hardening must complete before production deployment
• Test infrastructure needed before reaching coverage goals
• CI/CD needed before enforcing quality standards
• Observability needed before production monitoring

AI Agent Readiness

After Milestone 1 completes, AI agents will have:

• Clear issue templates to report bugs
• Coding patterns to follow
• Test fixtures to write tests
• CI/CD to validate changes
• Pre-commit hooks to enforce quality

Production Blockers

Must complete before production:

1. All critical security issues
2. Basic monitoring/alerting
3. Backup strategy
4. Incident response plan
5. 50%+ test coverage
