Comprehensive Next Steps & TODO Discovery Analysis¶
Generated: 2025-12-27 Updated: 2026-02-24 (SaaS Commercialization Sprint metrics sync) Analysis Scope: Full codebase audit Status: v1.1.0 SDK RELEASED โ AegisConfig, CLI, facade, MCP server, API key auth, docs site; 3041 tests, ~94.9% coverage, all CI green Current Work: See ROADMAP.md for active PRs, open issues, and release milestones
Discovery Analysis โ 2026-02-08¶
Overview¶
Full codebase discovery performed on 2026-02-08 against AEGIS v4.2.3 (now 3041 tests, ~94.9% coverage as of v4.5.58). The codebase is in excellent technical health with zero critical issues, zero open bugs, zero TODO/FIXME/HACK comments, and clean layered architecture with no circular imports.
Primary gaps are deployment/operational maturity (documentation, IaC, performance baselines) rather than code quality. All 6 open GitHub issues are blocked on infrastructure, not code.
Contradictions & Discrepancies¶
| # | Finding | Files | Impact | Suggested Fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D-1 | ~~scipy and prometheus_client in [project.optional-dependencies.dev] but imported unconditionally in production code paths~~ RESOLVED (2026-02-08) | pyproject.toml, src/engine/utility.py, src/telemetry/prometheus_exporter.py | ~~Users installing production deps get ImportError~~ Fixed | Moved to dedicated engine/telemetry optional groups with graceful ImportError at point of use; 4 regression tests in tests/test_optional_deps.py |
| D-2 | KNOWN_ISSUES.md lives at repo root but docs/architecture/repository-structure.md shows it as root-level โ references in changelog use bare KNOWN_ISSUES.md | KNOWN_ISSUES.md, docs/architecture/repository-structure.md | Inconsistent expectations about file location | Standardize location and all references |
| D-3 | ~~repository-structure.md references CLAUDE.md v4.2.2 but actual version is v4.2.3~~ RESOLVED (2026-02-08) | docs/architecture/repository-structure.md | ~~Documentation lags~~ Fixed | Updated annotation to v4.2.3 |
Missing Information¶
| # | Gap | What's Needed | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| ~~M-1~~ | ~~Production Deployment Guide~~ | ~~Cloud integration examples (AWS/GCP/K8s), container patterns (Docker), multi-region DR setup, HSM integration for key custody~~ | ~~RESOLVED: docs/deployment/production-guide.md + Dockerfile + docker-compose.yaml (ROADMAP Item 10)~~ |
| ~~M-2~~ | ~~Migration Guide~~ | ~~Parameter recalibration procedure, workflow state migration, schema version upgrade path~~ | ~~RESOLVED: docs/deployment/migration-guide.md (ROADMAP Item 11)~~ |

Implicit TODOs¶
| # | Finding | Location | Priority |
|---|---|---|---|
| I-1 | ~~Dependency version staleness~~ RESOLVED: safety>=3.0.0, python-bitcoinlib already pinned >=0.12.0 | pyproject.toml | ~~LOW~~ DONE |
| I-2 | ~~Broad except Exception without justification~~ RESOLVED: 15 sites across 8 files now have # Intentional: <reason> comments | Multiple src/ files | ~~LOW~~ DONE |

| I-4 | to_dict()/from_dict() serialization pattern duplicated across 3 workflow classes โ could extract to shared mixin | src/workflows/consensus.py, override.py, proposal.py | LOW |
Incomplete Features¶
| # | Feature | Status | Remaining Work | Tracked In |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| F-1 | GAP-L1: Monitoring Dashboard | 66% complete | Grafana deployment automation, production Prometheus, alert routing to Slack/PagerDuty | Issue #9 |
| F-2 | GAP-L2: OpenTelemetry Distributed Tracing | 0% (backlog) | Full span instrumentation for cross-component request tracing | ROADMAP v2.0.0 |

Technical Debt¶
| # | Area | Details | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| TD-1 | Large function complexity | pcw_decide() 226 lines, evaluate_all() 145 lines, _evaluate_proposal() 140 lines โ all within CC<10 but long | MEDIUM โ readability, offset by 94% test coverage |

| TD-4 | Dependency complexity | 23 total deps (dev + optional), 3 crypto backends, 2 DB drivers; safety check is advisory (continue-on-error: true) | LOW โ consider promoting safety to blocking |
Recommended Next Steps¶
Canonical action list: See ROADMAP.md ยง Next Steps โ 19 items in priority order, work through sequentially.
Questions for Team¶
- Production deployment target: What is the primary target infrastructure for AEGIS v1.x? (AWS Lambda+SQS / K8s on EKS/GKE / Serverless containers) โ determines deployment guide scope
- Shadow mode data window: For KL divergence calibration (issue #1), acceptable data collection window? (7 / 30 / 90 days)
- Performance SLA requirements: Acceptable latency targets for
pcw_decide()in production? (current: ~50ms P50 on M1 Mac) - External integration priority: Which is highest? AWS IAM (issue #7), Slack/PagerDuty alerts (issue #5), Grafana Cloud (issue #9), OpenTelemetry (GAP-L2)
- Open source readiness: Is AEGIS intended for public release? If yes, need license selection, contributor guidelines, example integrations
Opportunities¶
| # | Opportunity | Value | Effort |
|---|---|---|---|
| O-1 | MCP tool ecosystem growth โ add submit_proposal, cast_consensus_vote, initiate_override, query_telemetry tools | Broader agent/no-code access | MEDIUM |
| O-2 | Pre-built Docker images โ publish to GHCR (ghcr.io/undercurrentai/aegis:latest) | Reduces deployment friction | LOW |
| O-3 | Terraform/CDK modules โ reference IaC for AWS Lambda+SQS, EKS+Prometheus, multi-region DR | Accelerates production adoption | HIGH |
| O-4 | Jupyter notebook tutorials โ quickstart, workflows, telemetry, crypto demos | Lowers learning curve | LOW |
| O-5 | Reusable GitHub Actions workflow โ extract python-ci.yml to org-level reusable workflow | Standardizes quality gates across monorepo | LOW |
