## ⚠️ Issues & Technical Debt

### 1. Documentation Warnings (69 issues)
Non-critical linting warnings:

| Code | Description | Count | Priority |
|------|-------------|-------|----------|
| D107 | Undocumented `__init__` | 46 | Low |
| D104 | Undocumented package | 3 | Low |
| ARG002 | Unused method argument | 18 | Low |
| SIM102 | Collapsible if statement | 2 | Low |

**Impact:** None functional — purely code style  
**Fix:** Automated with ruff --fix

### 2. Code Organization (Medium Priority)

#### Large Files Needing Refactoring:

| File | Lines | Issue | Recommendation |
|------|-------|-------|----------------|
| `grpc_transport.py` | 900+ | Large servicer class | Split into servicer/client/converter modules |
| `ros2_connector.py` | 677 | Multiple responsibilities | Split: connection, messaging, discovery |
| `ros1_connector.py` | 588 | Same as ROS2 | Extract common base class |
| `discovery.py` | 494 | Mixed ROS1/ROS2 | Use strategy pattern |

#### Duplicate Logic:
- ROS1 and ROS2 connectors share ~60% code
- Could extract `BaseROSConnector` class

### 3. Test Structure (Minor)
- `test_physical_robot.py` (616 lines) is a CLI script, not pytest
- TDD test files (`test_ros1_connector_tdd.py`, `test_grpc_transport_tdd.py`) duplicate coverage
- Could consolidate into main test files

### 4. Import Organization (Minor)
- Inconsistent import ordering in some files
- Some local imports mixed with stdlib
