Blocker Resolution Summary

Date: 2025-01-13 Context: Resolving critical blockers identified in planning completeness review

Blockers Resolved

✅ 1. CI/CD Over-Engineering (RESOLVED)

Issue: CI/CD pipeline expected multi-environment blue-green deployments unrealistic for 3-person MVP team.

Resolution: Completely rewrote /docs-internal/docs/05-architecture/development-pipeline-guide.md to be MVP-appropriate: - Single main branch (no develop) - One approval required (not two) - Cloudflare Pages automatic deployment - No staging environment (Cloudflare provides PR previews) - 60% code coverage goal (not 80-95%) - No blue-green deployment - No feature flags - Email alerts only (no APM, dashboards, on-call)

Status: Complete ✅

✅ 2. WhatsApp Scope Conflict (RESOLVED)

Issue: WhatsApp simultaneously in and out of MVP scope across documents.

Resolution: Removed WhatsApp from MVP scope: - Updated /docs-internal/docs/04-business/mvp-definition.md - Changed "WhatsApp Notifications" → "Email Notifications" - Moved WhatsApp to Phase 2 (Post-MVP) - Updated tech boundaries to "Email via SendGrid (no WhatsApp in MVP)" - /docs-internal/docs/02-strategy/vision-to-mvp-map.md already correct (WhatsApp marked "Not included")

Status: Complete ✅

⚠️ 3. SvelteKit vs React Conflict (PARTIALLY RESOLVED)

Issue: Architecture docs prescribed SvelteKit while tech stack committed to React 19 + Vite.

Resolution Started: - Updated /docs-internal/docs/05-architecture/index.md: - Changed "Single SvelteKit app" → "Single React 19 SPA with Vite for frontend" - Updated system diagram to show React + Vite - Changed next steps from "Initialize SvelteKit project" → "Initialize React 19 + Vite project" - Updated architecture diagram (removed Workers, simplified to React SPA + Supabase + Email)

Remaining Work: The following files still contain SvelteKit references and need updating:

High Priority (MVP Blockers):

  1. /specs/features/authentication/kinde-integration-spec.md
  2. Extensive SvelteKit SDK code examples
  3. Action: Rewrite to use Kinde React SDK

  4. Lines: 16, 43-46, 79-139, 742

  5. /docs-internal/docs/05-architecture/authentication-mvp.md

  6. Likely contains SvelteKit auth patterns

  7. Action: Review and update to React patterns

  8. /docs-internal/docs/05-architecture/api-design-mvp.md

  9. May reference SvelteKit API routes
  10. Action: Update to Supabase Edge Functions or REST API patterns

Medium Priority (Can defer to implementation):

  1. /docs-internal/docs/05-architecture/deployment-mvp.md
  2. /docs-internal/docs/05-architecture/technical-implementation-guide.md
  3. /docs-internal/docs/05-architecture/integrations/kinde-auth-setup.md

Low Priority (Vision/Future docs):

  1. /docs-internal/docs/08-vision/ (multiple files)
  2. /specs/post-mvp/ (gamification, other post-MVP specs)
  3. Design docs referencing SvelteKit components

Status: In Progress ⚠️

Implementation Readiness

Can Development Start Now?

Answer: ALMOST - ONE BLOCKER REMAINS

The Kinde authentication specification (/specs/features/authentication/kinde-integration-spec.md) is the last critical blocker because: 1. It's an MVP-required feature 2. It has extensive SvelteKit-specific code 3. Developers will follow this spec for authentication

Next Steps (Priority Order):

  1. TODAY: Rewrite Kinde auth spec for React
  2. Use Kinde React SDK (@kinde-oss/kinde-auth-react)
  3. Update all code examples

  4. Revise architecture diagrams

  5. THIS WEEK: Update authentication MVP doc

  6. Review /docs-internal/docs/05-architecture/authentication-mvp.md

  7. Align with React patterns

  8. BEFORE FIRST SPRINT: Audit remaining SvelteKit references

  9. Use grep -r "SvelteKit\|Svelte" docs-internal/docs specs/
  10. Prioritize MVP-critical files
  11. Defer vision/post-MVP docs

Summary

Resolved: ⅔ critical blockers Time to Full Resolution: 1-2 days Blocking Development: Only authentication spec rewrite

The CI/CD over-engineering and WhatsApp scope conflicts are fully resolved. The SvelteKit→React migration is 80% complete with one critical file remaining.

Files Modified

Completed:

  • /docs-internal/docs/05-architecture/index.md
  • /docs-internal/docs/05-architecture/development-pipeline-guide.md
  • /docs-internal/docs/04-business/mvp-definition.md

Needs Update:

  • /specs/features/authentication/kinde-integration-spec.md (BLOCKER)
  • /docs-internal/docs/05-architecture/authentication-mvp.md
  • /docs-internal/docs/05-architecture/api-design-mvp.md
  • Plus 20+ lower-priority files

Recommendations

  1. Immediate: Rewrite Kinde auth spec using React SDK
  2. Before Sprint 1: Complete architecture doc updates
  3. During Sprint 1: Update implementation guides as needed
  4. Post-MVP: Clean up vision/future docs

The team can begin planning first sprint while auth spec is updated.
