## Detailed Breakdown

### Automation Hub v1 (Due: 2026-04-10)
Core automation infrastructure - the foundation for all other automation work.

| Issue | Title | Status |
|-------|-------|--------|
| #720 | Refine and group Timmy Automations backlog | **In Progress** |
| #719 | Generate weekly narrative summary of work and vibes | Open |

**Recommendation:** Complete #719 first to establish the narrative logging pattern before other milestones.

---

### Daily Run v1 (Due: 2026-04-15)
The 10-minute ritual that starts Timmy's day - agenda generation, focus presets, and health checks.

| Issue | Title | Status |
|-------|-------|--------|
| #716 | Add focus-day presets for Daily Run and work selection | Open |
| #704 | Enrich Daily Run agenda with classifications and suggestions | Open |
| #705 | Add helper to log Daily Run sessions to a logbook issue | Open |
| #706 | Capture Daily Run feels notes and surface nudges | Open |
| #707 | Integrate Deep Triage outputs into Daily Run agenda | Open |
| #708 | Map flakiness and risky areas for test tightening | Open |
| #709 | Add a library of test-tightening recipes for Daily Run | Open |
| #710 | Implement quick health snapshot before coding | Open |

**Recommendation:** Start with #710 (health snapshot) as it provides immediate value and informs other Daily Run features. Then #716 (focus presets) to establish the work selection pattern.

---

### Infrastructure (Due: 2026-04-15)
DevOps and deployment tasks required for production stability.

| Issue | Title | Status |
|-------|-------|--------|
| #687 | Pre-commit and pre-push hooks fail on main due to 256 ModuleNotFoundErrors | Open |
| #688 | Point all 4 domains to Hermes VPS in GoDaddy DNS | Open |
| #689 | Run SSL provisioning after DNS is pointed | Open |

**Recommendation:** These are sequential - #687 blocks commits, #688 blocks #689. Prioritize #687 for code hygiene.

---

### Dashboard v1 (Due: 2026-04-20)
Mission Control dashboard for automation visibility. Currently empty as related work is in Token Economy (#712).

**Note:** Issue #718 (dashboard card for Daily Run) is already closed. Issue #712 (agent scorecards) spans both Token Economy and Dashboard milestones.

---

### Inbox & Focus v1 (Due: 2026-04-25)
Unified view for issue triage and work selection.

| Issue | Title | Status |
|-------|-------|--------|
| #715 | Implement Timmy Inbox unified view | Open |

**Note:** This is a significant feature that may need to be broken down further once work begins.

---

### Token Economy v1 (Due: 2026-04-30)
Reward system for agent participation and quality work.

| Issue | Title | Status |
|-------|-------|--------|
| #711 | Centralize agent token rules and hooks for automations | Open |
| #712 | Generate daily/weekly agent scorecards | Open |
| #713 | Implement token quest system for agents | Open |
| #714 | Adapt token rewards based on system stress signals | Open |

**Recommendation:** Start with #711 to establish the token infrastructure, then #712 for visibility. #713 and #714 are enhancements that build on the base system.

---

### Code Hygiene (Due: 2026-04-30)
Ongoing code quality improvements. These are good "filler" tasks between larger features.

| Issue | Title | Status |
|-------|-------|--------|
| #769 | Add unit tests for src/infrastructure/db_pool.py | Open |
| #770 | Add unit tests for src/dashboard/routes/health.py | Open |
| #771 | Refactor run_agentic_loop() — 120 lines, extract helpers | Open |
| #772 | Refactor produce_system_status() — 88 lines, split into sections | Open |
| #773 | Add docstrings to public functions in src/dashboard/routes/tasks.py | Open |
| #774 | Add docstrings to VoiceTTS.set_rate(), set_volume(), set_voice() | Open |
| #775 | Add docstrings to system route functions in src/dashboard/routes/system.py | Open |

| #778 | Remove bare `pass` after logged exceptions in src/timmy/tools.py | Open |
| #779 | Add unit tests for src/timmy/conversation.py | Open |
| #780 | Add unit tests for src/timmy/interview.py | Open |
| #781 | Add error handling for missing DB in src/dashboard/routes/tasks.py | Open |
| #782 | Extract hardcoded sats limit in consult_grok() to config | Open |

**Recommendation:** These are independent and can be picked up in any order. Good candidates for when blocked on larger features.

---

### Matrix Staging (Due: 2026-04-05)
The Matrix 3D world - UI fixes and WebSocket integration for the Workshop.

**QA Issues:**
| Issue | Title |
|-------|-------|
| #733 | The Matrix staging deployment — 3 issues to fix |
| #757 | No landing page or enter button — site loads directly into 3D world |
| #758 | WebSocket never connects — VITE_WS_URL is empty in production build |
| #759 | Missing Submit Job and Fund Session UI buttons |
| #760 | Chat messages silently dropped when WebSocket is offline |
| #761 | All routes serve identical content — no client-side router |
| #762 | All 5 agents permanently show IDLE state |
| #763 | Chat clear button overlaps connection status on small viewports |
| #764 | Mobile: status panel overlaps HUD agent count on narrow viewports |

**UI Enhancement Issues:**
| Issue | Title |
|-------|-------|
| #747 | Add graceful offline mode — show demo mode instead of hanging |
| #748 | Add loading spinner/progress bar while 3D scene initializes |
| #749 | Add keyboard shortcuts — Escape to close modals, Enter to submit chat |
| #750 | Chat input should auto-focus when Workshop panel opens |
| #751 | Add connection status indicator with color coding |
| #752 | Add dark/light theme toggle |
| #753 | Fund Session modal should show explanatory text about what sats do |
| #754 | Submit Job modal should validate input before submission |
| #755 | Add About/Info panel explaining what The Matrix/Workshop is |
| #756 | Add FPS counter visibility toggle — debug-only by default |

**Note:** This milestone has the earliest due date (2026-04-05) and most issues. Consider splitting into "Matrix Critical" (QA blockers) and "Matrix Polish" (UI enhancements).

### OpenClaw Sovereignty (Due: 2026-05-15)

|-------|-------|--------|
| #721 | Research: OpenClaw architecture, deployment modes, and Ollama integration | Open |

## Notes for Future Triage

- Issues should be assigned to milestones at creation time
- Each milestone should have a "Definition of Done" documented
- Consider creating epic issues for large milestones (OpenClaw, Matrix)
- Weekly triage should review unassigned issues and new arrivals
- Milestone due dates should be adjusted based on velocity
