🎯 Top 3 Priorities for Action

1. 🔴 Critical: Fix Bug 999 Hardware Crashes (Issues #33, #35)

• Why: Multiple users reporting frozen micro:bit requiring reflash
• Impact: Blocks user experience on Elecfreaks hardware
• Action: Debug sensor event handling and identify root cause of error 999

2. 🟡 High: Button Press Responsiveness (Issue #80)

• Why: Core interaction mechanism not working reliably
• Impact: Frustrating user experience across hardware shields
• Action: Investigate button event handling and cursor navigation logic

3. 🔵 Development: Review Parser PR (#100)

• Why: Foundational work for Issue parser/unparser for program representation #4 (human-readable program format)
• Impact: Enables documentation generation and program portability
• Action: Review draft PR, provide feedback, move toward completion

📈 Trend Analysis

Recent Development Focus:

• Parser/unparser implementation (PR start on parser #100, Issue parser/unparser for program representation #4)
• Hardware stability issues (multiple P0 bugs)
• UI/UX improvements (digit widget, button responsiveness)

Open Feature Requests:

• Jacdac services support (Issue jacdac services to support #11) - 18 services requested
• Debug mode visualization (Issue debug mode #16, debugging visualization #8)
• Web framework modernization (Issue web framework for MicroCode #95)

Technical Debt:

• Parameterized tiles refactor (Issue parameterized tiles #10)
• Mock RuntimeHost for testing (Issue create a Mock RuntimeHost for testing #96)

---

💡 Recommendations

1. Triage hardware P0 bugs immediately - Set up testing session with Elecfreaks shield to reproduce error 999
2. Move parser PR start on parser #100 toward completion - This unblocks documentation and testing workflows
3. Consider creating test coverage for critical paths to prevent regression of hardware issues
