# Compact Status - 2025-12-08

**Focus**: Tech debt validation - separating real issues from false positives

**Key Accomplishments**:
1. Validated 7 low-risk tech debt items from Issue #31
2. Fixed 2 real issues (dependency-repository and task-repository row types)
3. Dismissed 4 false positives with documented rationale
4. Updated Issue #31 with resolved items and dismissals

**Critical Decisions**:
1. **Explicit row interfaces over `Record<string, any>`** - Type safety improvement without breaking changes
2. **Inline security documentation** - 23 SECURITY comments exist; no centralized doc needed
3. **Skip micro-optimizations** - os.cpus caching and DFS Set reuse would add complexity without meaningful benefit

**Next Priority Actions**:
1. Create PR for `fix/tech-debt-v0.3.2` branch
2. Run full test suite locally before merge
3. Prepare v0.3.2 release notes

**Critical Issues**:
None - all low-risk items resolved or dismissed

**Key Files Modified**:
1. `src/implementations/dependency-repository.ts` - Added DependencyRow interface
2. `src/implementations/task-repository.ts` - Added TaskRow interface
3. `docs/architecture/HANDLER-DECOMPOSITION-INVARIANTS.md` - Fixed O(n^2) → O(V+E)

**Context Notes**:
Branch `fix/tech-debt-v0.3.2` has 6 clean commits ready for PR. Issue #31 is the source of truth for tech debt. Many "issues" were false positives where reviewers misunderstood intentional design decisions.
