Analysis Notes

• No recent activity: Repository shows no updates in the last 24 hours
• Bug concentration: Multiple P0/P1 bugs are open and appear unresolved
• Development status: Features (jacdac services to support #11, parser/unparser for program representation #4, web framework for MicroCode #95) are tracked but appear in exploratory phase
• No active PRs: May indicate development is stalled or work is being done on feature branches

Suggested Next Steps

• Consider prioritizing UX fixes (Not every button press is actioned #80) for user experience improvements
• Establish clear ownership and timeline for critical bugs
