USER REQUIREMENTS - CRITICAL

THESE REQUIREMENTS MUST BE FOLLOWED AT ALL TIMES

Core Requirements (User has stated these 3+ times)

1. NO TIME PRESSURE

  • ALL ISSUES AND TODOs ARE TO BE COMPLETED COMPLETELY AND CORRECTLY
  • NO SKIPPING OVER ITEMS
  • Quality and completeness over speed

2. ZERO PLACEHOLDERS

  • ❌ NO "For now, ..." comments
  • ❌ NO "In production, this would..." comments
  • ❌ NO "would be implemented..." comments
  • ❌ NO "TODO: Implement..." markers
  • ❌ NO "FIXME" markers
  • ❌ NO context.TODO() in production code
  • ✅ ONLY real, working implementations

3. ALL INTERFACES FUNCTIONAL

  • ✅ CLI functionality must exist and be fully functional
  • ✅ TUI functionality must exist and be fully functional
  • ✅ GUI functionality must exist and be fully functional
  • ✅ Complete feature parity across all three interfaces

4. COMPREHENSIVE TESTING

  • ✅ Tests written for ALL implementations
  • ✅ Tests tested against REAL AWS
  • Use AWS_PROFILE=aws
  • Use AWS_REGION=us-west-2
  • ✅ TUI must have AWS integration tests
  • ✅ GUI must have AWS integration tests
  • ✅ All tests must pass against real AWS infrastructure

5. PERIODIC COMMITS

  • ✅ Commit work frequently
  • ✅ Update REMAINING_WORK.md document regularly
  • ✅ Clear commit messages documenting progress

6. COBRA CLI MIGRATION

  • ✅ Complete the CLI migration to Cobra
  • ✅ Remove ALL legacy code after migration
  • ✅ User wants to know when this request can be removed

7. REAL AWS IMPLEMENTATION

The user has emphasized this multiple times:

"I TOLD YOU TO IMPLEMENT AND TEST AGAINST REAL AWS"

What this means: - Every AWS feature must use real AWS SDK calls - No mock data in production code - No simulation functions - No placeholder responses - CloudWatch metrics must be real - S3 operations must be real - EC2 operations must be real - All AWS services must be real

Current Status

Placeholder Count: 145 across 58 files Current Progress: 30% complete (12/40+ critical items fixed) Remaining Work: Systematic elimination of 145 placeholders

Work Approach

  1. ✅ Create comprehensive audit (DONE)
  2. 🔄 Phase 1: Fix critical 15 placeholders
  3. 🔄 Phase 2: Fix high priority 38 placeholders
  4. 🔄 Phase 3: Fix medium priority 48 placeholders
  5. 🔄 Phase 4: Write comprehensive AWS tests
  6. 🔄 Phase 5: Complete Cobra migration

User Frustration Points

The user has expressed frustration when: - I add NEW placeholders while "fixing" code - I use comments like "In production, this would..." - I don't fully implement AWS integrations - I skip items or take shortcuts

Success Criteria

✅ Zero placeholder comments ✅ Zero TODOs/FIXMEs in production code ✅ All CLI features functional ✅ All TUI features functional ✅ All GUI features functional ✅ All features tested against real AWS ✅ Cobra migration complete ✅ Legacy code removed ✅ All tests passing
