Technical Debt — Tracking

Living list of things we know are wrong and haven't fixed yet. Every entry is tracked in Vikunja so it actually gets done; this page is a curated view, not the system of record.

High

Item Vikunja Why it matters
Some Docker volume backups are empty #59 A backup you cannot restore is not a backup
No off-site copy of backups #572 Single-disk failure loses everything
Quarterly restore drill never executed #571 We do not know if backups actually work
jb2b embeddings still 3072-dim — semantic search silently fails #491 Brain Q&A returns wrong answers for jb2b sources
geopolitics document_chunks + video_chunks empty #492 Geopolitics brain unsearchable
gamine-app restart-loop #570 Public surface intermittent
Container resource limits missing on several services (audit) One runaway can exhaust RAM

Medium

Item Vikunja Why it matters
Meta token blocks Gamine real-data wiring #447 → cascades to #446/#448/#449/#428 KPI dashboard cannot show real data
YouTube transcripts placeholders (1907 nodes) #222, #333 Brain claims/disagreements tables empty
LiteLLM Haiku model ID fix #485 Falls back to wrong model
DeepSeek promo expires 2026-05-31 #484 Embedding cost will increase
Volume backups for Forgejo/Vaultwarden not verified #571 Critical state at risk
infra_scanner.py not yet a Paperclip skill #567 Not visible in /admin/runs
Forgejo bootstrap token sits on disk at /root/ #569 Should live in Vaultwarden only
jb-brain + jb2b not in Forgejo #566 Production code without VCS

Low

Item Vikunja Why it matters
docs.joaoluisbrazao.cloud subdomain pending #565 Subpath fallback works (admin.joaoluisbrazao.cloud/docs/)
Docs rebuild on push instead of hourly cron #568 Hourly cron is acceptable
Hostinger malware scanner not installed acceptable ClamAV container handles it
Forgejo Actions not configured future Manual builds still work
No central log aggregation (ELK / Loki) future docker logs works at current scale
Sentry / APM not deployed future Errors surface in user reports today
MeiliSearch across all project docs future MkDocs per-site search works for now

Adding a new item

  1. Open a Vikunja task — that is the source of truth
  2. Add a row here with a one-line description and Vikunja ID
  3. Pick the right severity:
  4. High — losing this hurts users or losing data is plausible
  5. Medium — fixable, slowing us down, not bleeding
  6. Low — fine for now, will revisit
