## 🔴 CRITICAL GAPS (Blocking DDAY Refactor Completion)

### GAP #1: ContentTaxonomy.sync_status Still Exists
**Spec Says:** Remove `sync_status` from ContentTaxonomy  
**Current State:** Field still exists in model and ViewSet filterset_fields  
**Impact:** HIGH - Violates spec requirement, creates confusion  
**Location:**
```python
# backend/igny8_core/modules/writer/views.py:1503
filterset_fields = ['taxonomy_type', 'sync_status', 'parent', 'external_id', 'external_taxonomy']
```
**Root Cause:** Migration removed it but ViewSet filter wasn't updated  
**Fix Required:** Remove `sync_status` from `ContentTaxonomyViewSet.filterset_fields`

---

### GAP #2: Content Manager — No Batch Cluster Assignment
**Spec Says:**
```
Content Manager must allow:
- batch cluster assignment: select multiple rows, assign one cluster
- batch taxonomy assignment: select rows, attach a taxonomy term
```
**Current State:** No batch operations implemented  
**Impact:** **CRITICAL** - Core spec requirement missing  
**Location:** Frontend Content Manager pages  
**Fix Required:**
1. Add row selection checkboxes to Content table
2. Add "Bulk Actions" dropdown with "Assign Cluster" and "Assign Taxonomies"
3. Create modal for bulk cluster/taxonomy selection
4. Backend endpoint: `PATCH /api/v1/writer/content/bulk-update/`

---

### GAP #3: Content Manager — Manual Cluster Assignment for Imported Content
**Spec Says:**
```
Imported content from WordPress:
- cluster must be manually assigned in Content Manager or via auto mapping later
```
**Current State:** UI exists but workflow unclear, no "unassigned" filter  
**Impact:** HIGH - Critical for imported content workflow  
**Location:** Content Manager listing and editor  
**Fix Required:**
1. Add filter: `cluster: null` to show unassigned content
2. Highlight rows with `cluster=null` in red/warning state
3. Simplify cluster assignment in editor (dropdown with search)

---

### GAP #4: Sites Module — Builder Buttons Not Removed
**Spec Says:**
```
Remove:
- Pages button and its backend logic
- Sectors button from card (moved into Site Settings tab)
- Site builder and blueprints buttons (out of scope)
```
**Current State:** Sites module partially updated in Stage 2 but builder-related UI remains  
**Impact:** HIGH - Confuses users, violates spec  
**Location:** `frontend/src/pages/Sites/List.tsx`, `frontend/src/components/sites/*`  
**Fix Required:**
1. Remove "Builder", "Blueprints", "Pages" buttons from site cards
2. Move "Sectors" management into Site Settings page
3. Clean up related routes and components

---

### GAP #5: Sites Module — Active/Inactive Toggle Location
**Spec Says:**
```
Active/inactive toggle at the top
```
**Current State:** Toggle may be in wrong location or missing  
**Impact:** MEDIUM - UX issue  
**Location:** Sites grid view  
**Fix Required:** Add site-level active/inactive toggle above grid

---

### GAP #6: Deprecated Fields in Backend Management Commands
**Spec Says:** Remove all `cluster_role`, `sync_status`, `context_type`, `dimension_meta` references  
**Current State:** Still referenced in audit command  
**Impact:** LOW - Non-critical but violates cleanup requirement  
**Location:**
```python
# backend/igny8_core/modules/writer/management/commands/audit_site_metadata.py:59
tasks_with_cluster_role = tasks.filter(cluster_role__isnull=False).count()
```
**Fix Required:** Remove or update audit command logic

---

### GAP #7: Frontend — PostEditor SEO/Metadata Tabs
**Spec Says:** Content Manager should allow editing title, content_html, cluster, taxonomy_terms  
**Current State:** PostEditor has deprecated SEO/Metadata tabs that reference removed fields  
**Impact:** MEDIUM - UI sections broken  
**Location:** `frontend/src/pages/Sites/PostEditor.tsx` (lines 450-600)  
**Fix Required:**
1. Remove SEO tab (meta_title, meta_description, primary_keyword, secondary_keywords)
2. Remove Metadata tab (tags, categories - replaced by taxonomy_terms)
3. Keep only: Content, Taxonomy & Cluster tabs

---

### GAP #8: Frontend — ToggleTableRow Deprecated Field Fallbacks
**Spec Says:** Use only new schema fields  
**Current State:** Extensive fallback logic for removed fields  
**Impact:** LOW - Works but needs cleanup  
**Location:** `frontend/src/components/common/ToggleTableRow.tsx`  
**Fix Required:** Remove fallbacks for `primary_keyword`, `meta_description`, `tags`, `categories`

---

### GAP #9: ContentTaxonomy.parent Field
**Spec Says:** Remove `parent` field  
**Current State:** Migration marked as removed but still in ViewSet filters  
**Impact:** MEDIUM - Creates confusion  
**Location:**
```python
# backend/igny8_core/modules/writer/views.py:1503
filterset_fields = ['taxonomy_type', 'sync_status', 'parent', ...]
```
**Fix Required:** Remove `parent` from filterset_fields

---

### GAP #10: Cluster Detail Page — Content Type Tabs Incomplete
**Spec Says:**
```
Show tabs or sections per content_type:
- Articles
- Pages
- Products  
- Taxonomy Pages
```
**Current State:** Tabs exist but may not include "Taxonomy" type  
**Impact:** LOW - Minor omission  
**Location:** `frontend/src/pages/Planner/ClusterDetail.tsx`  
**Fix Required:** Verify all 4 content_type tabs present

---

### GAP #11: No Content Validation Before Publish
**Spec Says:**
```
Load Content:
  ensure status = draft
  ensure site record configured with WP endpoint and auth
```
**Current State:** Backend publish service exists but validation unclear  
**Impact:** MEDIUM - Could allow invalid publish operations  
**Location:** `backend/igny8_core/modules/writer/views.py` (publish endpoint)  
**Fix Required:** Add validation checks before publish

---

### GAP #12: WordPress Plugin — No Metadata Storage Confirmation
**Spec Says:**
```
Plugin may optionally store meta keys like _igny8_content_id or _igny8_cluster_id, but this is optional.
```
**Current State:** Stage 3 added `_igny8_content_id` but cluster_id not confirmed  
**Impact:** LOW - Nice to have  
**Location:** WordPress plugin meta field storage  
**Fix Required:** Verify `_igny8_cluster_id` is saved in WP post meta

---

## ⚠️ MEDIUM PRIORITY GAPS

### GAP #13: Writer Module — Link to Content Manager
**Spec Says:**
```
Link to open draft in Content Manager (optional but helpful)
```
**Current State:** Not implemented  
**Impact:** MEDIUM - UX improvement  
**Fix Required:** Add "View in Content Manager" button on Writer task rows

---

### GAP #14: Content Manager — Missing Filters
**Spec Says:**
```
Filters:
- content_type
- status
- cluster
- taxonomy_type (optional)
- source
```
**Current State:** Basic filters exist, taxonomy_type filter unclear  
**Impact:** LOW - Optional filter  
**Fix Required:** Add taxonomy_type filter to Content Manager

---

### GAP #15: Frontend Test Files — Deprecated Field References
**Spec Says:** Remove all deprecated field references  
**Current State:** Test files still use `sync_status`, `entity_type`, `cluster_role`  
**Impact:** LOW - Tests may fail or be misleading  
**Location:**
```typescript
// frontend/src/pages/Optimizer/__tests__/ContentSelector.test.tsx
{ id: 1, title: 'Test Content', source: 'igny8', sync_status: 'native', ... }
```
**Fix Required:** Update test mocks to use new schema

---

### GAP #16: DeploymentPanel — sync_status References
**Spec Says:** sync_status only for Integration model, not Content  
**Current State:** DeploymentPanel shows `readiness.checks.sync_status`  
**Impact:** LOW - Deployment feature out of DDAY scope  
**Location:** `frontend/src/pages/Sites/DeploymentPanel.tsx`  
**Fix Required:** Verify this refers to Integration.sync_status not Content.sync_status

---

### GAP #17: Integration Model — Correct Usage
**Spec Says:** sync_status removed from Content/ContentTaxonomy  
**Current State:** Integration model correctly has sync_status  
**Impact:** ✅ NONE - This is correct usage  
**Location:** `backend/igny8_core/business/integration/models.py`  
**Verification:** ✅ Integration.sync_status is valid and should remain

---

### GAP #18: Frontend — Optimizer Module Refactoring
**Spec Says:** Out of DDAY scope but should align with new schema  
**Current State:** Stage 2 partially updated, still shows deprecated badges  
**Impact:** LOW - Module out of immediate scope  
**Fix Required:** Full Optimizer module refactor (defer to post-DDAY)

---
