## Phase 1: This Week's Focus

### Week 1 Goals
- Fix JWT secret hardcoded (SEC-1) - **CRITICAL**
- Implement rate limiting (SEC-2) - **CRITICAL**
- Fix SQL injection (SEC-3) - **CRITICAL**
- Fix agent validation (SEC-4) - **CRITICAL**
- Fix session takeover (SEC-5) - **CRITICAL**

### Active Tasks (see TodoWrite in session)
Check current session todos for real-time progress.

### Checklist Progress
- Total Phase 1 items: 147
- Completed: 0
- In Progress: (see session todos)

## Critical Path

**Current Blocker:** None (starting fresh)
**Next Blocker Risk:** JWT secret fix may require database migration
**Mitigation:** Test on staging first, prepare rollback procedure

---

## Team Assignments

**Backend Developer:**
- Security fixes (SEC-1 through SEC-13)
- API enhancements
- Database migrations

**DevOps Engineer:**
- Systemd service setup
- Prometheus monitoring
- Automated backups
- CI/CD pipeline

---

## Key Decisions Made

1. **Timeline:** 20-week recommended path (balanced risk)
2. **Team Size:** 4-5 developers (optimal)
3. **Scope:** Tier 0 + Tier 1 features (competitive MVP)
4. **Architecture:** Keep current Rust + Axum + PostgreSQL stack
5. **Deployment:** Systemd service (not Docker for Phase 1)

---

## Success Metrics

**Phase 1 Exit Criteria:**
- [ ] All 5 critical security issues fixed
- [ ] All 8 high-priority security issues fixed
- [ ] OWASP ZAP scan clean (no critical/high)
- [ ] Systemd service operational
- [ ] Prometheus + Grafana configured
- [ ] Automated backups running
- [ ] CI/CD pipeline functional
