⚡ Top 3 Priorities Today
  • 1. URGENT #694: Make repo PRIVATE immediately + secrets audit + key rotation. Public repo exposes sensitive data.
  • 2. Bug #691: Donor email not returned from validateMagicLinkToken — blocks Gift Aid flow completely. Critical for launch.
  • 3. Marketing Launch (5 days): Demo readiness check — verify all kiosk flows, Gift Aid declaration, compliance screens.

Recent Decisions

📅 Last 2 weeks (Apr 18 - May 4)
✓ Approved Decisions
Apr 27 — Android Enterprise (Device Owner Mode)
Decision Owner: Dharmendra
Device Owner mode approved for kiosk lockdown strategy. Drives PR #692 implementation. Enables full control over Android device state, permissions, and app restrictions for GiftAid/GASDS compliance.
Apr 27 — GitHub Stale Workflow Disabled
Decision Owner: Yuvraj
Automated stale PR/issue closure disabled. Manual triage now owned by team. Reduces false-positive closures on critical features that require extended review cycles.
Apr 21 — Three-Entity Data Model Confirmed
Decision Owner: Architecture Team
Location → Kiosk → Campaign hierarchy locked in. Supports GASDS schema, HMRC audit trails, and multi-site charity deployments. PR #680 implements Location Entity.
Apr 21 — Immutable Location Snapshots
HMRC Requirement
Donation location captured server-side at action-time, never a live reference. Required for HMRC GASDS audit trail. Implemented in PR #683.
Apr 21 — Base £8k GASDS OK Without Community Tracking
Pilot Scope Gate
HMRC 6/10 community building rule doesn't block pilot. Base £8k threshold acceptable for Day 1. Full community tracking feature moved to Growth tier post-launch.
Apr 20 — Org Settings/Branding Shipped
PR #669 Merged
Charities can now customize org name, colours, and branding. Deployed and tested. Admin UI consolidation in progress (PR #690).
Apr 18 — CI Pipeline Enhanced
Test Coverage
Backend Jest tests now included in CI pipeline. Catches regressions earlier. Supports faster merge velocity and confidence pre-pilot.

Blockers & Risks

📅 As of May 4, 2026
🔴 CRITICAL
#694 URGENT: Repo is PUBLIC — secrets potentially exposed. Need key rotation NOW. Make private immediately.
Bug #691: Donor email missing from validateMagicLinkToken response. Gift Aid declarations fail without email. Blocks launch.
37 days without standups: Last standup Mar 28. No structured team sync since. Coordination risk pre-pilot.
Marketing launch in 5 days: Demo readiness unverified. Need full end-to-end kiosk test: card-tap → magic link → Gift Aid → success screen.
🟡 HIGH
#681 FCA Legal Opinion: Solicitor needed by May 6 (2 days). Must have opinion before pilot briefing.
Sprint 04 Stale (35 days): Tasks #609-612 (consent ledger Magic Link follow-up). No movement since Mar 30. Unblocks post-launch features.
13 P0 Issues Unassigned: No owners for critical pre-pilot work. Need triage + assignment this week.
Android Demo Video Missing: Jitesh 15+ days overdue. Required for marketing May 9 launch demo.
🟢 POSITIVE
Board is clear — 0 open PRs. Excellent shipping velocity.
30 PRs merged Apr-May (avg 1/day). Strong engineering execution.
Location Entity built + merged. GASDS/HMRC schema complete.
Android Enterprise approved. Device Owner mode theming complete.
Admin UI consolidation done. PR #690 closes #685 + #689.
