Improvement Tasks

This document contains a comprehensive list of actionable improvement tasks for the project. Each task is specific, actionable, and can be checked off when completed.

Architecture

1. Evaluate and optimize the dependency graph in the DI container to reduce initialization time
2. Implement a service locator pattern for non-critical services to reduce container complexity
3. Create a unified configuration system that consolidates the various config approaches (env files, JSON configs, code-based configs)
4. Refactor the bootstrapping process to support lazy-loading of non-essential services
5. Implement a module system to better organize and encapsulate related components
6. Standardize error handling across all framework components
7. Create a comprehensive application lifecycle documentation with sequence diagrams
8. Implement a plugin architecture to allow for easier extension of core functionality

Code Quality

9. Complete all TODO items in the codebase:
   • Implement migration logic in MigrationGenerator.php
   • Implement rollback in MigrationGenerator.php
   • Return proper responses in various handlers
   • Implement actual login logic in LoginUserHandler.php
   • Use Clock instead of date() in ShowImageUpload.php
   • Implement Size for ImageVariant in ImageVariant.php
   • Remove TTL in RedisCache
   • Get RequestData from Request Object in Container
   • Integrate McpInitializer with the discovery system
10. Implement consistent error handling and logging across all components
11. Add comprehensive PHPDoc comments to all public methods and classes
12. Standardize naming conventions across the codebase
13. Refactor large classes (>200 lines) into smaller, more focused components
14. Implement strict type checking across all files
