## Critical

*No critical items*

---

## High

### MPO Format Test Coverage *(Scheduled: v1.5.0)*
- **Description**: MPO conversion code exists but has no test coverage. MPO is advertised in the CHANGELOG but the handling is untested.
- **Location**: `starpunk/media.py` lines 163-173
- **Source**: Developer Review (M1)
- **Approach**: Add `test_mpo_detection_and_conversion()` to `TestHEICSupport` class in `tests/test_media_upload.py`. Create an MPO test image using Pillow's MPO support.

### POSSE
- Native syndication to social networks
- Supported networks:
  - First iteration:
    - Mastodon (and compatible services)
    - Bluesky
  - Second iteration
    - TBD
- Solution should include a configuration UI for setup

## Medium

### Debug File Storage Without Cleanup Mechanism *(Scheduled: v1.5.0)*
- **Description**: Failed uploads are saved to `data/debug/` directory for analysis, but there is no mechanism to clean up these files. This could consume significant disk space, especially if under attack.
- **Location**: `starpunk/media.py` lines 133-137
- **Source**: Developer Review (M2), Architect Review (Issue 1.2.2)
- **Approach**:
  1. Add `DEBUG_SAVE_FAILED_UPLOADS` config option (default: false in production)
  2. Implement automatic cleanup (files older than 7 days)
  3. Add disk space check or size limit (e.g., 100MB max)

### Filename Not Sanitized in Debug Path (Security) *(Scheduled: v1.5.0)*
- **Description**: The original filename is used directly in the debug file path without sanitization, which could cause path traversal or special character issues.
- **Location**: `starpunk/media.py` line 135
- **Source**: Architect Review (Issue 1.2.3)
- **Approach**: Sanitize filename before use: `safe_filename = "".join(c for c in filename if c.isalnum() or c in "._-")[:50]`

### N+1 Query Pattern in Feed Generation *(Scheduled: v1.5.0)*
- **Description**: In `_get_cached_notes()`, media and tags are loaded per-note in separate queries. For 50 notes, this is 100 additional database queries, degrading performance.
- **Location**: `starpunk/routes/public.py` lines 68-74
- **Source**: Architect Review (Issue 2.2.9)
- **Approach**: Implement batch loading function `get_media_for_notes(note_ids: List[int])` using a single query with `WHERE note_id IN (...)`.

### Transaction Not Atomic in Variant Generation *(Scheduled: v1.5.0)*
- **Description**: Files are written to disk before database commit. If the database commit fails, orphaned files remain on disk.
- **Location**: `starpunk/media.py` lines 404-440
- **Source**: Architect Review (Issue 2.2.6)
- **Approach**: Write variant files to a temporary location first, then move to final location after successful database commit.

### Rate Limiting on Upload Endpoints
- **Description**: No rate limiting exists on media upload endpoints, making them vulnerable to abuse.
- **Location**: `/admin/new` (admin.py), `/media` (micropub.py)
- **Source**: Architect Review (Security Assessment)
- **Approach**: Implement Flask-Limiter or similar rate limiting middleware for upload routes.

### Default Slug Change *(Scheduled: v1.5.0)*
- The default slug should be a date time stamp
- YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
- Edge case, if the slug would somehow be a duplicate append a "-x" e.g. -1

### Tag Enhancements (v1.3.0 Follow-up)
- Tag pagination on archive pages (when note count exceeds threshold)
- Tag autocomplete in admin interface
- Tag-filtered feeds (e.g., `/feed.rss?tag=python`, `/tags/python/feed.rss`)
- Fix: Empty tag field in admin should remove all tags (currently may leave unchanged)

### Tag-Filtered Feeds
- Filter feeds by tag (e.g., `/feed.rss?tag=python`)
- Dedicated tag feed URLs (e.g., `/tags/python/feed.rss`)
- Support all three formats (RSS, Atom, JSON Feed)
- Cache management for filtered feeds

### Webmentions
- Receive endpoint
- Send on publish
- Display received mentions
- Moderation interface

### Reply Contexts
- In-reply-to support
- Like/repost posts
- Bookmark posts

### Media Uploads Enhancements
- File management interface
- Thumbnail generation
- CDN integration (optional)

### Photo Posts
- Instagram-like photo notes
- Gallery views
- EXIF data preservation

### Audio/Podcast Support
- Podcast RSS with iTunes namespace
- Audio duration extraction
- Episode metadata support
- Apple/Google podcast compatibility
- See: ADR-059

### Video Support
- Video upload handling
- Poster image generation
- Video in Media RSS feeds
- HTML5 video embedding

---

## Low

### HEIC/MPO Conversion Quality Not Configurable
- **Description**: HEIC and MPO to JPEG conversion uses hardcoded `quality=95`. Users with different quality/size tradeoff preferences cannot adjust this.
- **Location**: `starpunk/media.py` line 157
- **Source**: Developer Review (M3)
- **Approach**: Add `HEIC_CONVERSION_QUALITY` config variable with 95 as default.

### MAX_DIMENSION Not Configurable
- **Description**: `MAX_DIMENSION = 12000` is a hardcoded constant. Cannot adjust limit without code change.
- **Location**: `starpunk/media.py` line 41
- **Source**: Developer Review (M4)
- **Approach**: Make configurable via config variable, keeping 12000 as default.

### Animated WebP Not Detected
- **Description**: Animated GIF detection exists but animated WebP is not handled, potentially bypassing animated image size checks.
- **Location**: `starpunk/media.py` (validate_image function)
- **Source**: Architect Review (Issue 2.2.2)
- **Approach**: Add animated WebP detection similar to existing GIF handling.

### Caption Not Escaped in RSS HTML
- **Description**: In RSS generation, caption is used directly in alt attribute without HTML escaping. Could break markup if caption contains `"` or other special characters.
- **Location**: `starpunk/feeds/rss.py` line 136
- **Source**: Architect Review (Issue 2.2.10)
- **Approach**: Use `html.escape()` for caption when generating HTML content.

### Incomplete MPO Documentation
- **Description**: Code comment says "extract primary image" but doesn't explain the multi-frame nature of MPO files (contain multiple images for 3D or depth maps).
- **Location**: `starpunk/media.py` lines 163-165
- **Source**: Developer Review (M5)
- **Approach**: Enhance inline comment to document that MPO files contain multiple frames and only the primary frame is extracted.

### Module Docstring Stale
- **Description**: Module docstring still states "4096x4096 max dimensions" but MAX_DIMENSION was updated to 12000 in v1.4.2.
- **Location**: `starpunk/media.py` lines 1-12
- **Source**: Architect Review (Issue 1.2.1)
- **Approach**: Update docstring to reflect current 12000px limit.

### Flaky Migration Race Condition Tests
- Improve `test_migration_race_condition.py::TestGraduatedLogging::test_debug_level_for_early_retries`
- Test expects DEBUG retry messages but passes when migration succeeds without retries
- May need to mock or force retry conditions for reliable testing

### Deferred Indefinitely
- Static Site Generation - Conflicts with dynamic Micropub
- Multi-language UI - Low priority for single-user system
- Advanced Analytics - Privacy concerns, use external tools
- Comments System - Use Webmentions instead
- WYSIWYG Editor - Markdown is sufficient
- Mobile App - Web interface is mobile-friendly
