Top 3 Recommendations for Prioritization

1. Frozen screen, bug 999 - multiple sources #33 / Microcode freezing #35 - Critical Runtime Freezing (P0)

   • Action: Investigate and fix the 999 error code freezing issues on elecfreaks hardware
   • Impact: Currently blocks users from using the device
   • Recommendation: High priority bug fix sprint

2. Not every button press is actioned #80 - Button Press Not Always Actioned

   • Action: Debug input handling for Enter key on both shield types
   • Impact: Affects user experience and workflow

3. create a Mock RuntimeHost for testing #96 - Create Mock RuntimeHost

   • Action: Implement testing infrastructure
   • Impact: Will enable better test coverage and faster development
   • Recommendation: Support for improving overall code quality

Notes

• No merge conflicts or failing checks to report (no open PRs)
• Hardware-specific issues concentrated on elecfreaks smaller screen variant
• Good progress on porting todos (porting todos #7) with most items completed
• Several feature requests awaiting design decision (jacdac services, web framework, debug visualization)
