🔴 High Priority

TODO-001 — Decompose App.ts into a Controller Architecture

Field	Value
Priority	🔴 High
Effort	~2 days
Depends on	BUG-001

Description Break the 4 357-line God-class into focused controllers:

• DataLoader — orchestrates all fetch* calls and refresh timers
• PanelManager — creates, orders, drags, and persists panel layout
• MapController — wraps MapContainer, handles layer toggles and country clicks
• DeepLinkRouter — handles URL state, story links, country brief links
• RefreshScheduler — manages setInterval/setTimeout lifecycle

Keep App as a thin composition root.

AI instructions

1. Create src/controllers/ directory.
2. Move the corresponding App methods into each controller class.
3. Update App constructor and init() to instantiate and wire controllers.
4. Ensure App.destroy() delegates to each controller's destroy().

---

TODO-002 — Add Server-Side RSS Aggregation and Caching

Field	Value
Priority	🔴 High
Effort	~3 days
Depends on	—

Description Currently 70+ RSS feeds are fetched client-side through individual proxy rules. This wastes bandwidth (every user fetches the same feeds) and multiplies rate-limit exposure.

Move RSS fetching to a server-side edge function (or Vercel cron) that:

1. Fetches all feeds on a 3-minute cron.
2. Stores merged results in Redis (Upstash already in package.json).
3. Exposes a single /api/news endpoint returning the cached aggregate.

AI instructions Create api/news.js edge function. Use @upstash/redis. Implement feed XML parsing identical to src/services/rss.ts. Add a stale-while-revalidate cache header. On the client side, replace ~40 proxy rules in vite.config.ts with a single fetch to /api/news.

---

TODO-003 — Real-Time Alert Webhooks (Slack / Discord / Email)

Field	Value
Priority	🔴 High
Effort	~2 days
Depends on	—

Description The dashboard generates high-value signals (military surge, CII spikes, geographic convergence) but they are only visible when the Dashboard tab is active. Users should be able to receive critical alerts via external channels.

AI instructions

1. Add a Settings UI for webhook configuration (URL + secret + filter by priority).
2. Store webhook config in localStorage (web) or OS keyring (desktop).
3. When signalAggregator emits a signal at or above the user's threshold, POST the signal payload to the configured webhook URL.
4. Support Slack incoming webhook format and Discord webhook format out of the box.

---

TODO-004 — Comprehensive API Handler Test Suite

Field	Value
Priority	🔴 High
Effort	~2 days
Depends on	BUG-014

Description 52 of 55 API handlers have zero test coverage. Add unit tests using Node built-in test runner (node --test) for all handlers.

AI instructions For each handler in api/:

1. Import the handler and mock the external API call.
2. Test valid input → correct response.
3. Test malformed input → 400 error.
4. Test upstream failure → graceful error response. Prioritize handlers that accept user-controlled query params.

---

TODO-005 — Cross-Platform npm Script Compatibility

Field	Value
Priority	🔴 High
Effort	~1 hour
Depends on	BUG-013, BUG-019

Description All VITE_VARIANT=… and VITE_E2E=… scripts break on Windows.

---

🟡 Medium Priority

TODO-006 — Temporal Anomaly Detection ("Unusual for This Time")

Field	Value
Priority	🟡 Medium
Effort	~3 days

AI instructions

1. Extend src/services/temporal-baseline.ts to store per-hour-of-week baselines in IndexedDB.
2. Compare each refresh cycle's values against the time-matched baseline.

2. For each route, aggregate: chokepoint congestion, AIS gap count, military vessel density, recent news velocity for route countries.
3. Compute a composite risk score.
4. Display as a new panel and optionally overlay route lines on the map.

---

TODO-008 — Choropleth CII Map Layer

Field	Value
Priority	🟡 Medium

---

TODO-010 — Historical Playback with Timeline Scrubbing

Field	Value
Priority	🟡 Medium
Effort	~3 days

2. Clicking a dot restores that snapshot via App.restoreSnapshot().
3. Dragging the scrubber auto-plays through snapshots.
4. Add a "Live" button to exit playback and resume real-time data.

---

TODO-131 — Self-Hosted Map Tiles via Protomaps + CloudFront

• Priority: 🔴 High | Effort: ~2 days
• Replace CARTO/Stadia third-party basemap tiles with self-hosted Protomaps PMTiles on CloudFront. Eliminates CORS failures, third-party availability issues, and rate limits. CARTO has been intermittently blocking cross-origin requests (no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header), causing blank maps until the OpenFreeMap fallback kicks in. Self-hosted tiles = zero external dependency for the base map.
• Approach: Download a PMTiles archive (OpenStreetMap-based, ~70GB planet or extract regions), host on S3 + CloudFront CDN, use pmtiles:// protocol with MapLibre GL JS. Style JSON also self-hosted.
