Objective

Scan this module thoroughly and auto-create issues for everything that needs work.

Process

  1. Read CLAUDE.md and TODO.md if they exist
  2. Scan all source files - look for:
    • Missing tests (files in src/ without corresponding test)
    • TODO/FIXME/HACK comments in code
    • Missing type hints or return types
    • Empty methods or stub implementations
    • Missing error handling
    • Missing or outdated documentation
    • Security concerns (SQL injection, XSS, mass assignment)
    • Dead code or unused imports
    • Missing migrations or seeders
    • Config files that need environment variables
  3. Check composer.json for:
    • Outdated dependencies
    • Missing dev dependencies (testing, analysis tools)
    • Autoload paths correctness
  4. Check tests/ for:
    • Test coverage gaps
    • Missing edge case tests
    • Tests that are skipped or incomplete

Creating Issues

For EACH finding, create an issue on forge.lthn.ai:

curl -sf -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: token $FORGE_TOKEN_PROD" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  "https://forge.lthn.ai/api/v1/repos/core/php-admin/issues" \
  -d "{\"title\":\"type: description\",\"body\":\"details\",\"labels\":[46,45]}"

Issue types:

  • test: add tests for {Class/Method} — missing test coverage
  • fix: {description} — bugs or broken functionality
  • refactor: {description} — code quality improvements
  • security: {description} — security concerns (always label review)
  • docs: {description} — documentation gaps
  • chore: {description} — dependency updates, config fixes

Label ALL created issues with discovery. Label security/architectural concerns with review.

Also create ONE summary issue titled roadmap: php-admin production readiness with a checklist of everything needed.

Branch

Work from dev branch. This is a READ-ONLY scan - create issues, do not modify code.

Discovery Scan Complete

Scan Date: 2026-02-20
Files Analyzed: 102 PHP source files, 7 test files
Issues Created: 14 specific issues + 1 roadmap issue = 15 total


📊 Executive Summary

Codebase Health: 70/100 🟡

Strengths:

  • Search, forms, menu, layout systems have comprehensive tests
  • Well-architected event-driven registration pattern
  • Good separation of concerns (3 Boot.php files)
  • Recent documentation additions (Jan 2026)

Areas Needing Attention:

  • ⚠️ Type Safety: 20+ files missing declare(strict_types=1), 18+ methods missing return types
  • ⚠️ Test Coverage: 30+ modal components untested (~30% coverage)
  • ⚠️ Error Handling: Critical admin operations lack try-catch and transactions
  • ⚠️ Security: No rate limiting, some validation gaps
  • ⚠️ Incomplete Features: 2FA and BoostPurchase stubs exposed to users

🎫 Issues Created

Critical Priority (2 issues)

  • #5 - Add declare(strict_types=1) to 20+ files
  • #6 - Add missing return type hints (18+ methods)

High Priority (12 issues)

Error Handling (3):

  • #9 - Settings modal error handling
  • #10 - PlatformUser modal error handling
  • #11 - SearchProviderRegistry error handling

Security (3):

  • #12 - Add rate limiting to admin actions (review)
  • #13 - Improve TeapotController security (review)
  • #14 - Validate JSON metadata fields (review)

Stubs/TODOs (3):

  • #15 - Implement or remove 2FA stubs (review)
  • #16 - Implement or remove BoostPurchase stub (review)
  • #17 - Remove empty register() methods

Testing (2):

  • #7 - Add tests for 30+ modal components
  • #8 - Add tests for Model methods

Documentation (1):

  • #18 - Add PHPDoc to 40+ methods

Roadmap (1 issue)

  • #19 - Production readiness checklist (review)

Immediate (1-2 days)

  1. Fix critical type safety issues (#5, #6)
  2. Add error handling to admin operations (#9, #10, #11)

Short-term (1 week)

  1. Decide on 2FA and BoostPurchase approach (#15, #16)
  2. Implement rate limiting (#12)
  3. Improve validation (#13, #14)

Medium-term (2-3 weeks)

  1. Add comprehensive test coverage (#7, #8)
  2. Add PHPDoc documentation (#18)

Total estimated effort: 7-12 days to production-ready

  2. Prioritize based on roadmap - See issue #19 for phased approach
  3. Security review - 5 issues tagged review need human decision
  4. Assign work - Break down into manageable tasks
