Phase Summary

Phase Name Duration Status Start Date Completion
1 Security & Infrastructure 4 weeks STARTING 2026-01-17 TBD
2 Core Features 8 weeks Not Started TBD TBD
3 Competitive Features 8 weeks Not Started TBD TBD
4 Production Readiness 6 weeks Not Started TBD TBD

Total Timeline: 26 weeks (conservative) / 20 weeks (recommended) / 16 weeks (aggressive)


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
