Maintainability Review - Pick'n'Play

A) Current focus

This document tracks only active work. Completed work is intentionally omitted and can be reviewed in git history.

Active maintainability risks (priority order):

  1. Externalized frontend content assets are still pending (Low)
  • Translation and FAQ payloads are still embedded in executable JS (wwwroot/js/i18n.js:1-wwwroot/js/i18n.js:799).
  • Impact: content changes require touching behavior modules and increase review noise.

B) Active task list

[P2] Externalize i18n and FAQ content from executable JS

  • Problem: Severity Low, Category Complexity/Documentation. Translation and FAQ payloads are embedded in code.
  • Evidence: wwwroot/js/i18n.js:1-wwwroot/js/i18n.js:799.
  • Recommendation: move language dictionaries and FAQ markdown into versioned data assets with schema checks.
  • Acceptance criteria (testable): i18n.js holds behavior only; assets load and render identical user-facing text.
  • Effort / Risk: M / Low.
  • Dependencies (if any): frontend module split is helpful but optional.

C) Suggested execution order

  1. Externalize i18n/FAQ assets.

D) Guardrails

  • Keep endpoint handlers transport-focused and move business rules into services/validators.
  • Keep reads side-effect free and isolate all persistence changes to explicit command paths.
  • Maintain one source of truth per validation rule (backend authoritative, frontend UX hints only).
  • Prefer typed DTOs over anonymous response shapes for non-trivial API payloads.
