MASTER TASK LIST

GLOBAL RULES

DO NOT skip tasks.
Run tasks strictly in order unless blocked.
Commit frequently with meaningful commit messages.
Push frequently.
Ask for clarification only if truly blocked.
Preserve existing functionality.
Favor incremental safe changes.
Use TypeScript strictness whenever possible.
Add logging and observability where useful.
Avoid destructive migrations.
Test before merge.
Mobile responsiveness matters for all user-facing pages.
Add telemetry for failures, retries, pending states, and success states.
Ensure all long-running jobs are resumable/idempotent.

GIT / BRANCHING

git fetch origin
git merge origin/rw1-alex

Resolve merge conflicts carefully.
Preserve newer logic.
Avoid deleting existing working features.
Push after major milestones.

Task - make sure all webhooks are good

make sure we have the right webhooks to respond to emails from [email protected] and [email protected] and [email protected] etc - we have a webhook for [email protected] already, right? it ties into our gmail thread syncing - but when people respond to gmail threads we need to be notified so we can automatically respond etc etc.

task: MCP server

dancingdragons.cc should have it's own mcp endpoints - make sure they are built-out etc

DEV ENVIRONMENT

MOBILE RESPONSIVENESS

Audit ALL pages under:

(private)/u/
(private)/s/

Tasks:

fix overflow issues
fix broken flex/grid layouts
improve spacing
improve button sizing
improve responsive typography
verify forms work on mobile
verify modals work on mobile
verify tables scroll correctly
verify chat/thread views work on mobile

Telemetry / Metrics

Track:

total attempts
successful applies
failed applies
partial applies
pending applies
ATS detected
captcha encountered
auth failures
browser crashes
timeout failures
rate limiting
retries
average completion time

Throughput goals

reduce browser instability

allow human user to manually input LinkedIn credentials/password when required
preserve authenticated sessions safely
improve LinkedIn stability
improve Easy Apply support

BROWSER AUTOMATION HARDENING

Massive randomized browser testing

Run randomized exploratory testing:

randomly select 30 tests
max 10 tests per folder
run 3 cycles minimum
click all visible buttons/links
aggressively probe edge cases
test navigation transitions
test modal open/close
test auth/session expiry
test refresh behavior
test websocket reconnects
test mobile viewport behavior

Extended run:

run 50 tests in 3 rounds
identify flaky tests
identify intermittent failures
identify race conditions
identify hydration mismatches
identify stale state bugs
