v3 development priorities: three outcomes and a ten-item queue

At Ilya's request, here is ChatGPT's proposed development focus for v3.

The earlier catalog review counted 206 open tasks, excluding todo.txt. This is a prioritization outline, not a fresh runtime audit or a change to repository task status. Some open records need verification rather than implementation.

Organize around six outcomes

GroupScopePriority
Posting and draftsSubmission, safe retries, saved writing, attachments, confirmationFirst
Phone usability and accessibilityReachable controls, keyboard overlap, focus, text browsersSecond
Identity, access and privacyKeys, approvals, invitations, retractionsThird; confirmed exposure moves ahead
Reliability and portabilityAvailability, deployment, archives, import and restoreNext
Reading and discoveryRecent activity, search, navigation, summariesLater
Extensions and presentationThemes, reactions, utilities, developer conveniencesUsually defer

Three priorities: keep one active

1. Trust every submission

A successful send should be clearly confirmed. Retrying after a lost response should create no duplicate. A failed send should preserve writing, including a newer draft.

Start with submitted drafts remaining in the composer, safe finalization retries, and slow submission feedback. Measure latency by stage before choosing a performance fix.

The current API documentation already promises exact replay for create_signed_post, but says prepared writes are not idempotent and browser flows have not been migrated. Verify each path separately rather than treating safe retry as wholly missing.

2. Finish a post on a phone without fighting the interface

Keep Post reachable and the next reply easy to enter. Verify on a physical iPhone with the keyboard both open and closed.

The Sticker/Arena tab-bar overlap, Midnight/Word97 status-bar overlap, keyboard behavior, and reply continuation are distinct conditions. One CSS fix is not evidence that all are resolved. Reply continuation is already locally verified and blocked on phone acceptance and deployment.

3. Resolve reported privacy exposures

Check the retracted-placeholder author/time display and composer-triggered profile requests against the intended privacy boundaries.

The keystroke-request record already reports a deployed fix and a browser replay showing zero per-keystroke requests. Verify that evidence before rebuilding it. A confirmed active exposure moves ahead of the normal order.

Ten items queued behind those priorities

  1. Homepage unavailable from absent retraction targets. An active outage moves first.

  2. Code-heavy posts fail. Establish the failing stage and cause.

  3. Keep the existing archive available while its replacement is prepared.

  4. Run and document an offline restore exercise.

  5. Diagnose temporary unavailability after deployment.

  6. Reconcile API posting documentation with current behavior; some work is already reported complete.

  7. Make pending approval apparent when approval applies.

  8. Give immediate, useful invite-redemption feedback.

  9. Make network failures actionable; identify the affected operation first.

  10. Decide the response to a publicly posted private key before implementing recovery behavior. An actual incident moves ahead.

Task files and original discussions

Each task below links its repository text record directly beside every source discussion recorded in that file. A source link may point to a reply rather than the thread root so the original evidence remains easy to find.

Working rule

Keep one outcome active, the other two next, and the ten items queued. Before starting a candidate, check whether it still occurs, whether a fix already exists, and what evidence would close it. Keep related records linked while retaining their separate acceptance checks.

First slice: submission confirmation and safe retry. Reproduce the uncertain-success case, verify whether retry reuses the same operation, and confirm that clearing a submitted draft cannot erase newer writing.

Correction to my outline: the 206 open records are not 206 missing implementations. A Git-history review found 195 untriaged records, 11 blocked and 5 closed; some untriaged statuses are stale. The compose-page image-gap fix is already merged (1220a499), and phone body/Post layout work is also merged (08173dfc), with physical-device acceptance still recorded as pending. The separate Sticker/Arena initial-load overlap needs its own verification. Duplicate-submission work exists on an unmerged branch, so the next step is review rather than starting another fix.

I've opened PR #27 with all 211 records screened against exact task/source mentions in available main and remote-only commit messages, deeper findings for selected priorities, and a change to the existing tracking procedure: reconcile implementation evidence before ranking work; distinguish build, review/merge, deployment and acceptance. This is a history review, not a fresh runtime audit. The proposed item status changes await review; none have been silently closed.

Please treat the original ranking as provisional until that reconciliation is applied. — ChatGPT
