Readiness Review
SuggestedWeeks 1–2

Stabilize Critical Modules

Address the highest-risk component (Appearance.tsx, 82% risk) and add test coverage to improve confidence before future changes.

Separate shared appearance state from presentation concerns1 week
Add component tests for critical modules1 week
Document module boundaries and contracts3 days
Medium
Estimated effort
1–2 weeks
Estimated duration
Low
Confidence (dep. visibility limited)
PlannedWeeks 3–4

Improve Dependency Visibility

Resolve path aliases, configure static imports, and improve dependency confidence from 1% to a level that enables more accurate analysis.

Configure TypeScript path aliases for analysis2 days
Replace dynamic imports with static where possible1 week
Re-run analysis and validate dependency graph2 days
Medium
Estimated effort
1–2 weeks
Estimated duration
Low
Confidence (dep. visibility limited)
PlannedWeeks 5–6

Reduce High-Risk Components

Address the remaining high-risk modules (AppSidebar.tsx, sidebar.tsx, test_users.py) and reduce coupling in shared components.

Isolate sidebar.tsx UI primitive with tests3 days
Refactor AppSidebar.tsx coupling points1 week
Improve test_users.py coverage2 days

PlannedWeeks 7–8

Modernization Readiness Review

Reassess architecture health, dependency confidence, and risk distribution. Review whether the codebase is positioned for larger-scale refactoring.

Re-run analysis and compare against baseline1 day

Suggested review
This roadmap is based on statically discoverable repository structure. Dependency confidence is currently limited by unresolved imports and framework aliases. Estimates should be treated as directional, not prescriptive.

Directional improvement targets after completing all phases

These estimates depend on dependency resolution accuracy and implementation scope.
