---

### High Priority 🟠

#### CI/CD Testing Not Yet Complete

- **Status:** Open since November 1, 2025
- **Description:** PR #1108 fixes in testing phase, not yet merged
- **Workaround:** Build times improved locally (0-30s), waiting for full test suite
- **Fix ETA:** November 30, 2025

---

### Medium Priority 🟡

- Memory Bank migration in progress (expected to complete by Dec 15)
- Old documentation files not yet deleted (scheduled for cleanup)
- Cross-references not fully updated (will update after migrations complete)

---

### Low Priority ⚪

---

## Technical Debt

### High Priority

- 🔴 AI context still partially hard-coded (need full YAML loading)
- 🔴 Commands don't surgically update config files (replace entire file)

### Medium Priority

- 🟡 Old memory-bank numbered files (00-05) not deleted yet
- 🟡 Multiple references to old file paths in documentation

### Low Priority

- ⚪ Some templates could be further consolidated (<150 line target)

## Evolution of Decisions

### Oct 2024 - Chose Git Submodule Over npm Package

- **Decision:** Distribute via git submodule (`.roadcrew/`), not npm install
- **Previous approach:** Considered npm package distribution
- **Reason for change:** Needed version pinning control for customers
- **Implementation:** Created .gitmodules, published to roadcrew repo
- **Outcome:** Customers have full control over update timing
- **Impact:** Eliminates npm registry management, improves safety
- **Lessons learned:** Submodule UX is awkward, but control > convenience

### Nov 2024 - Implemented Dual Publishing Approach

- **Decision:** Two parallel publishing methods (file sync + GitHub API)
- **Previous approach:** Single method (considering only file sync)
- **Reason for change:** Different teams need different automation styles
- **Implementation:** publish-dist.mjs (sync) + publish-api.ts (API)
- **Outcome:** Both approaches tested and working
- **Impact:** Flexibility + resilience (no single point of failure)
- **Lessons learned:** Maintaining two approaches worth the complexity

### Nov 2025 - Migrated to Cline Memory Bank Structure

- **Decision:** Switch from flat 6-file structure to hierarchical Cline format
- **Previous approach:** Linear files (00-description through 05-decisions)
- **Reason for change:** Better AI context organization, aligns with Cline best practices
- **Implementation:** 6 new templates, migration plan, line-by-line mapping
- **Outcome:** Clearer hierarchy (foundation → operational), easier to maintain
- **Impact:** Improved AI context loading, better onboarding experience
- **Lessons learned:** Structured hierarchies > flat organization for living docs
