💡 Top 3 Priorities for Team Review

1. Address P0 Freezing Bugs (Frozen screen, bug 999 - multiple sources #33, Microcode freezing #35)

   • Critical hardware issues on Elecfreaks shield causing permanent freezes
   • Blocks user experience and requires device reflashing
   • Recommend: Dedicated debugging session with hardware device

2. Progress Parser Implementation (PR start on parser #100, Issue parser/unparser for program representation #4)

   • Draft PR start on parser #100 needs review and advancement
   • Important for text-based program representation
   • Enables better documentation and program evolution

3. Fix Button Press Reliability (Not every button press is actioned #80)

   • User experience issue affecting both Forward Education and Elecfreaks shields
   • 4 comments indicate ongoing discussion
   • Recommend: Investigation and fix to improve interaction reliability

---

📈 Trends & Observations

• Low Recent Activity: No changes in last 24 hours suggests team may be in planning/off-cycle phase
• Hardware Focus: Multiple open issues relate to physical device behavior (Elecfreaks shield)
• Draft PR Backlog: All open PRs are drafts, suggesting work-in-progress features needing attention
• Enhancement Pipeline: Good balance of bug fixes and feature work (parser, Jacdac services, debug mode)
