## PRIORITY 1 - CRITICAL (Production Blockers)

### C1. Authentication System is Mocked 🔴
**Impact:** Cannot deploy to production - no real user authentication

**Location:** `frontend/apps/web/src/stores/authStore.ts:93, 125-126`

**Issue:**
```typescript
login: async (email, _password) => {
    // TODO: Implement actual login API call
    // For now, mock authentication
    return { user: mockUser, token: mockToken };
}

refreshToken: async () => {
    // TODO: Implement token refresh logic
    console.log("Token refresh not implemented yet");
}
```

**What's Missing:**
- Real login API integration
- Token storage (localStorage/sessionStorage)
- Token refresh mechanism
- Password validation
- Session management

**Fix:** Integrate with backend `/api/v1/auth` endpoints (backend has AuthKit adapter)

**Effort:** 6-8 hours

---

### C2. Screenshot/Thumbnail Storage is Mocked 🔴
**Impact:** Design versioning and visual documentation broken

**Location:** `frontend/apps/web/src/utils/screenshot.ts:45-50, 183-202`

**Issue:**
```typescript
// Mock S3 storage (for future integration with real S3)
const mockS3Storage: MockS3Storage = {};

// Fallback: return mock data URL if html2canvas not available
return `data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0...`;
```

**What's Missing:**
- Real S3/cloud storage integration
- Thumbnail generation and storage
- Screenshot persistence
- Version tracking

**Fix:** Integrate AWS S3 or compatible storage (Cloudflare R2, Backblaze B2)

**Effort:** 4-6 hours

---

### C3. API Client Completely Untyped 🔴
**Impact:** No type safety for any API calls - runtime errors likely

**Location:** `frontend/apps/web/src/api/client.ts:7`

**Issue:**
```typescript
type Paths = Record<string, any>;
```

**What's Missing:**
- OpenAPI-generated types
- Type-safe API client
- Request/response validation
- Compile-time endpoint checking

**Fix:**
1. Generate types from OpenAPI spec: `openapi-typescript backend/docs/api/openapi.yaml`
2. Replace manual types with generated types
3. Update all API calls

**Effort:** 3-4 hours

---

### C4. 15 Route Files Not Registered 🔴
**Impact:** Features exist but unreachable via navigation

**Location:** `frontend/apps/web/src/routeTree.gen.ts` (missing imports)

**Missing Routes:**
1. `auth.logout.tsx` - Logout flow broken
2. `integrations.callback.tsx` - OAuth callback broken

- Line 346: `/admin` - Route doesn't exist

**Fix:** Either create these routes or remove the links

**Effort:** 1 hour

---

### C7. UpdateLink Returns 501 🔴
**Impact:** Cannot edit existing link metadata or type

**Location:** `backend/internal/handlers/link_handler.go:174-178`

```go
func (h *LinkHandler) UpdateLink(c echo.Context) error {
    // Not implemented - database query missing
    return c.JSON(http.StatusNotImplemented, map[string]string{
        "error": "UpdateLink not yet implemented",
    })
}
```

**What's Missing:**
- `queries.UpdateLink()` in database layer

## CONCLUSION

The TraceRTM codebase is **architecturally sound** with **complete MVP functionality**, but has:

1. **Mock infrastructure** (auth, storage) preventing production deployment
2. **Disconnected features** (30+ endpoints/components implemented but not wired)
3. **Type safety gaps** that could cause runtime errors
4. **Navigation gaps** making features undiscoverable

**Recommended Action:** Execute Sprint 1 (15-20 hours) to achieve production readiness for MVP v1.0.0 release.

**After Sprint 1:** System will be production-deployable with core CRUD, navigation, and authentication working properly.
