🏗️ Project Foundation

1. Repository bootstrapping

Template: 📋 Task / Epic Labels: task Priority: P0

Title: [P0] [Task] Bootstrap repo structure and tooling

  • Add .gitignore, .editorconfig, CONTRIBUTING.md
  • Set up branch protection on main
  • Configure CI linting (shellcheck, markdownlint, yamllint)
  • Add pre-commit hooks

2. README & onboarding docs

Template: 📋 Task / Epic Labels: documentation Priority: P0

Title: [P0] [Task] Write project README and onboarding guide

  • High-level architecture overview
  • Local development setup instructions
  • Contribution workflow (branching, commits, reviews)
  • Link to this tickets repo

3. CI pipeline

Template: 📋 Task / Epic Labels: task Priority: P0

Title: [P0] [Task] Set up CI pipeline

  • Build step (compile / install deps)
  • Lint step (static analysis)
  • Test step (unit + integration)
  • Status badge in README

🧪 Testing

4. Unit-test scaffolding

Template: 📋 Task / Epic Labels: task Priority: P1

6. Test coverage reporting

Template: Feature Request Labels: enhancement Priority: P2

Title: [P2] [Feature] Add test coverage reporting

Problem: No visibility into what code paths have tests. Solution: Generate coverage reports in CI and block merges below a threshold (e.g. 80%).


🔒 Security & Quality

7. Dependency scanning

Template: Feature Request Labels: enhancement Priority: P1

Title: [P1] [Feature] Automated dependency vulnerability scanning

Problem: Outdated or vulnerable dependencies slip through. Solution: Add Dependabot (or Renovate) + a SAST scanner in CI.


8. Secrets management

Template: 📋 Task / Epic Labels: task Priority: P0

Title: [P0] [Task] Audit and secure secrets management

  • Verify no secrets are committed to the repo
  • Set up .env conventions
  • Document how to inject secrets in dev and prod

9. Linting & formatting

Template: 📋 Task / Epic Labels: task Priority: P1

Title: [P1] [Task] Enforce consistent linting and formatting

  • Choose and configure formatters / linters for each language in the stack
  • Add pre-commit hook (or CI check) that blocks violations
  • Format the existing codebase

📖 Documentation

10. API / interface docs

Template: 📋 Task / Epic Labels: documentation Priority: P1

  • Select a doc generator (e.g. OpenAPI, Sphinx, JSDoc)
  • Add docstrings / annotations to public interfaces
  • Publish to a static site or docs host

11. Architecture Decision Records

Template: Feature Request Labels: enhancement, documentation Priority: P2

Title: [P2] [Feature] Adopt Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)

Problem: Design decisions are made in chat and forgotten. Solution: Maintain a docs/adr/ directory with lightweight decision records.


🐛 Placeholder Bugs (for testing the flow)

12. Template: Bug Report

Template: 🐛 Bug Report Labels: bug Priority: P2

Title: [P2] [Bug] Example bug — page title wraps on small viewports

Field Value
Steps Resize browser to 320px wide, open the landing page.
Expected Title stays on one line or truncates gracefully.
Actual Title wraps and overlaps the nav bar.

13. Template: Bug Report

Template: 🐛 Bug Report Labels: bug Priority: P3

Title: [P3] [Bug] Example bug — console warns about missing key prop

Field Value
Steps Open dev tools, navigate to the dashboard.
Expected No React key warnings.
Actual Warning: Each child in a list should have a unique "key" prop.

🚀 Features

14. Health-check endpoint

Template: Feature Request Labels: enhancement Priority: P1

Title: [P1] [Feature] Add health-check endpoint

Problem: No way for load balancers or monitoring to know if the service is alive. Solution: Expose GET /health returning {"status":"ok"} and a quick DB ping.


15. Structured logging

Template: Feature Request Labels: enhancement Priority: P1

Title: [P1] [Feature] Switch to structured (JSON) logging

Problem: Logs are plain-text and hard to query. Solution: Emit JSON log lines with consistent keys (level, message, timestamp, trace_id).


16. Feature flags

Template: Feature Request Labels: enhancement Priority: P2

Title: [P2] [Feature] Introduce feature-flag system

Problem: Can't safely ship partial or experimental features. Solution: Use a simple flag provider (env vars initially) to gate features.


17. Observability / metrics

Template: Feature Request Labels: enhancement Priority: P2

Title: [P2] [Feature] Export app metrics for monitoring

Problem: Can't answer "is the system healthy?" without looking at logs. Solution: Export request duration, error rate, and DB query metrics.

Template: 📋 Task / Epic Labels: documentation, good first issue Priority: P1

Title: [P1] [Task] Write CONTRIBUTING.md
