## 📋 Outstanding Issues (Prioritized)

### 🔴 PRIORITY 1: Critical Debug Logging Cleanup

**Issue**: Excessive debug output causing test crashes
- **Symptom**: Test aborts with "Fatal Python error: _enter_buffered_busy"
- **Root Cause**: 
  - `[IDENTIFIER]` debug logging in expressions.py
  - `[ATOMIC]` debug logging in statements.py
  - `[DEBUG ENTITY]` logging in statements.py
- **Impact**: Makes test output unreadable, causes buffer overflow and crashes
- **Fix Complexity**: LOW - Remove or disable debug print statements
- **Files to Clean**:
  - `src/zexus/evaluator/expressions.py` - Remove [IDENTIFIER] prints
  - `src/zexus/evaluator/statements.py` - Remove [ATOMIC], [DEBUG ENTITY], [THIS_EVAL] prints
  - `src/zexus/evaluator/core.py` - Remove [DEBUG] prints

### 🟡 PRIORITY 2: Module Export Syntax Error

**Issue**: 128 occurrences of "Cannot export undefined: add"
- **Test Part**: Part 9 (Metaprogramming - Dynamic Module Generation)
- **Root Cause**: Test uses `export action add(...)` but parser expects `action add(...); export add`
- **Current Behavior**: Parser treats "export action" as trying to export identifier "action"
- **Impact**: Dynamic module test fails completely
- **Fix Complexity**: MEDIUM
- **Solutions**:
  1. **Quick Fix**: Update test to use correct syntax
  2. **Better Fix**: Add syntactic sugar to support `export action name(...) { }` as single statement
  3. **Best Fix**: Implement full export modifier system

**Implementation Plan**:
```zexus
// Current (broken):
export action add(a, b) { return a + b }

// Working syntax:
action add(a, b) { return a + b }
export add

// OR with modifiers:
public action add(a, b) { return a + b }
```

### 🟡 PRIORITY 3: Dependency Injection System

**Issue**: `inject logger: Logger` syntax not implemented
- **Test Part**: Part 6 (Dependency Injection)
- **Current Behavior**: `inject` keyword doesn't exist
- **Impact**: DI test fails, entity methods can't resolve injected dependencies
- **Fix Complexity**: HIGH
- **Requirements**:
  1. Add `INJECT` token to lexer
  2. Add `InjectStatement` to parser
  3. Implement service locator/registry pattern
  4. Support dependency resolution in entity/contract methods
  5. Add mock/override system for testing

**Implementation Notes**:
- Entity methods already support calling with injected params
- Need global or scoped dependency registry
- Should support both interface-based and name-based injection
- Test shows pattern: `inject logger: Logger` then usage `this.logger.log(...)`

### 🟢 PRIORITY 4: Channel Timing/Synchronization

**Issue**: Race condition in channel communication test
- **Test Part**: Part 3.1 (Channel Communication)
- **Symptom**: `receive() error: Timeout receiving from channel 'message_channel'`
- **Root Cause**: Consumer executes faster than producer can send final message
- **Impact**: Minor - test timing issue, not language bug
- **Fix Complexity**: LOW
- **Solutions**:
  1. Increase sleep time in test (0.5s → 1.0s)
  2. Add synchronization primitives (barriers, latches)
  3. Adjust default channel timeout

---

### 🟢 PRIORITY 5: Generic Type Methods (Low Priority)

**Issue**: Generics system incomplete
- **Test Part**: Part 2.2 (Generic Data Types)
- **Status**: Test explicitly says "Generics not fully implemented: skipping test"
- **Impact**: Expected limitation, test already handles gracefully
- **Fix Complexity**: VERY HIGH - Requires major type system work
- **Recommendation**: DEFER - This is a future enhancement, not a bug

---

## 📊 Current Test Status

### Working (85% of tests):
- ✅ Part 1: Performance tests
- ✅ Part 2.1: Complex type system (base types)
- ✅ Part 3.2-3.4: Concurrency (atomic, break/continue)
- ✅ Part 4: Security tests
- ✅ Part 5: Blockchain tests
- ✅ Part 7: Reactive system
- ✅ Part 8: Error resilience
- ✅ Part 10: Integration test

### Failing/Incomplete:
- ⚠️ Part 2.2: Generics (expected - placeholder)
- ❌ Part 3.1: Channel timing (race condition)
- ❌ Part 6: Dependency injection (not implemented)
- ❌ Part 9: Metaprogramming (export syntax issue)

## 🎯 Recommended Fix Order

1. **DEBUG CLEANUP** (5 minutes)
   - Remove all debug prints
   - Essential for clean test output

2. **EXPORT SYNTAX FIX** (30 minutes)
   - Add support for `export action name() { }` 
   - OR fix test to use correct syntax

3. **CHANNEL TIMING** (10 minutes)
   - Increase test sleep duration
   - Quick win for test stability

4. **DEPENDENCY INJECTION** (2-4 hours)
   - Design service registry
   - Implement inject statement
   - Add resolution logic
   - Most complex but high value

5. **GENERICS** (Future)
   - Major feature, defer for now
   - Already documented as limitation

## 🔧 Technical Debt

### Files with Debug Logging to Clean:
```
src/zexus/evaluator/expressions.py - [IDENTIFIER] logs
src/zexus/evaluator/statements.py - [ATOMIC], [DEBUG ENTITY], [THIS_EVAL] logs  
src/zexus/evaluator/core.py - [DEBUG], [DEBUG TYPE] logs
src/zexus/security.py - [DEBUG DI] logs
```

### Import Path Issues (Already Fixed):
- ✅ Type checking now uses `_is_type()` helper
- ✅ Handles both `src.zexus.*` and `zexus.*` import paths

---

**Next Steps**: Start with Priority 1 (debug cleanup), then move to Priority 2 (export syntax).
