Top 3 Issues to Prioritize

1. Frozen screen, bug 999 - multiple sources #33 & Microcode freezing #35: Hardware Freezing Issues (P0)
   Reason: Critical bugs affecting user experience. Multiple report instances of micro:bit freezing with error code 999. These should be investigated and fixed urgently.

2. Not every button press is actioned #80: Button Press Action Failures (Bug)
   Reason: Impacts usability. Users report that button presses sometimes don't register, creating frustration. 4 existing comments suggest ongoing discussion.

3. Digit widget request for ease of use/accessibility #88: Digit Widget Accessibility (Enhancement)
   Reason: Improves accessibility for non-English speakers and ease of use. Has community engagement and is relatively scoped.

Recommendations

• Triage Stale Issues: Review the 17 open issues and add labels, milestones, or assignees to clarify ownership.
• Hardware Testing: Allocate resources to investigate and reproduce the critical hardware freezing issues (Frozen screen, bug 999 - multiple sources #33, Microcode freezing #35).
• PR Review: No open PRs simplifies the review queue. Good time to onboard new contributors if available.
• Community Engagement: Consider reaching out on any issues with community input (e.g., Digit widget request for ease of use/accessibility #88, Not every button press is actioned #80).
