## Critical Issues (Release Blockers) - FIXED

### 1. Codename References in Documentation

**Severity:** Critical
**Files Affected:**
- `README.md` (lines 1-3, 65-66)
- `views.md` (header references)

**Issue:**
Documentation references the internal codename "Snide" multiple times:
```
# Core Architecture: The "Snide" Module Protocol
# Core Architecture: The "Snide" View Protocol (Modern Flexy)
* **Part of the "Snide" opinionated Laravel framework.**
Inside a Snide Module (`app/Mod/{Name}/`)
```

**Suggested Fix:**
Replace all "Snide" references with "Core PHP Framework" or similar generic terminology.

---

### 2. Company-Specific Package Names

**Severity:** Critical
**File:** `Boot.php` (lines 80-86)

**Issue:**
Hardcoded company package name check in path resolution:
```php
if (($composer['name'] ?? '') !== 'host-uk/core') {
    return $monorepoBase;
}
// Standard vendor structure (vendor/host-uk/core/src/Core/Boot.php)
return dirname(__DIR__, 5);
```

**Problem:** Explicitly checks for "host-uk/core" package name. Generic open-source packages should not check for specific vendor names.

**Suggested Fix:**
Remove or generalize the package name check. Use path detection instead (check for composer.json existence and structure).

---

### 3. Company-Specific Branding in Comments

**Severity:** Critical
**File:** `Cdn/Services/BunnyStorageService.php` (lines 17-18)

**Issue:**
Comments reference "host-uk" organization:
```php
* - Public zone (host-uk): General assets, media
* - Private zone (hostuk): DRM/gated content
```

**Suggested Fix:**
Replace with generic placeholder names like "public-zone" and "private-zone".

---

## High Severity Issues - FIXED

### 4. Incomplete TODO Implementations

**Severity:** High
**File:** `Console/Commands/MakePlugCommand.php`

**Issue:**
Multiple TODO markers with incomplete implementations:

| Line | TODO |
|------|------|
| 238 | Replace with actual provider OAuth URL |
| 247 | Implement token exchange with provider API |
| 260 | Implement token refresh with provider API |
| 273 | Implement token revocation with provider API |
| 328 | Implement post creation with provider API |
| 351 | Implement scheduled posting |
| 409 | Implement post deletion with provider API |
| 471 | Implement media upload with provider API |
| 491 | Implement URL-based media upload |

Methods currently return stub responses instead of real implementation.

**Suggested Fix:**
- Complete OAuth implementations, OR
- Mark as example/template code and document that it requires implementation

---

### 5. TODO Comments in Route Files

**Severity:** High
**Files:**
- `Front/Client/Routes/client.php` (lines 22-25)
- `Front/Client/Boot.php` (lines 45, 51)

**Issue:**
```php
// TODO: Bio editor routes
// TODO: Analytics routes
// TODO: Settings routes
// TODO: Boost purchase routes
// TODO: RequireNamespaceOwner or similar
// TODO: ClientMenuRegistry if needed
```

**Suggested Fix:**
Implement these features or remove the TODO markers if they represent optional/future functionality.

---

## Medium Severity Issues - FIXED

### 6. Missing License Headers

**Severity:** Medium
**Scope:** All PHP files (~439 files)

**Issue:**
PHP files contain no EUPL-1.2 license header.

**Current:**
```php
<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace Core;
```

**Suggested Fix:**
Add to all PHP files:
```php
<?php
/*
 * This file is part of the Core PHP Framework.
 *
 * (c) [Author/Organization]
 *
 * Licensed under the European Union Public Licence (EUPL-1.2).
 * See LICENSE file for details.
 */

declare(strict_types=1);
```

---

### 7. Hard Dependencies Without Guards

**Severity:** Medium
**File:** `Boot.php` (lines 35, 41)

**Issue:**
Boot.php hard-requires modules without class_exists() checks:
```php
public static array $providers = [
    \Core\LifecycleEventProvider::class,
    \Core\Website\Boot::class,        // No guard
    \Core\Front\Boot::class,          // No guard
    \Core\Mod\Boot::class,            // No guard
];
```

**Suggested Fix:**
Either add conditional checks or document these as required dependencies:
```php
...(class_exists(\Core\Website\Boot::class) ? [\Core\Website\Boot::class] : []),
```

---

### 8. Missing PHPDoc for Public Methods

**Severity:** Medium
**Scope:** Several public classes

**Examples needing documentation:**
- `ModuleScanner::classFromFile()` - Complex path logic
- `LifecycleEventProvider::fireWebRoutes()` - Multiple side effects
- Event handler methods lack parameter/return type documentation

**Suggested Fix:**
Add detailed PHPDoc explaining purpose, parameters, return values, side effects, and exceptions.

---

## Low Severity Issues

### 9. Test-Related TODO Comments

**Severity:** Low
**Files:**
- `Front/Client/Blade/dashboard.blade.php` (lines 5-8)
- `Tests/Feature/AdminRouteSmokeTest.php` (line 230)

**Issue:**
```blade
{{-- TODO: Namespace overview --}}
{{-- TODO: Quick actions (edit bio, view analytics, etc.) --}}
{{-- TODO: Recent activity --}}
{{-- TODO: Boost purchases --}}
```

**Suggested Fix:**
Remove or convert to GitHub issues for tracked work.

---

### 10. Debug Configuration Documentation

**Severity:** Low
**File:** `config.php` (lines 210-219)

**Issue:**
Debug configuration should be documented as security-sensitive:
```php
'debug' => [
    'token' => env('DEBUG_TOKEN'),
],
```

**Suggested Fix:**
Add warning comment explaining DEBUG_TOKEN should never be committed.

---

### 11. Composer Author Email

**Severity:** Low
**File:** `composer.json`

**Issue:**
Author email is company-specific: `support@host.uk.com`

**Suggested Fix:**
Update to generic project contact or maintainer email.
