## 📊 Quick Status

### Dashboard Integration Progress (March 2026)

- ✅ Phase 1 complete: route structure, login redirect, role normalization.
- ✅ Phase 2 complete: `overview`, `automations`, `processes`, and `billing` wired to live dashboard APIs via React Query.
- 🚧 Phase 3 started: section-level RBAC hardening and access-denied UX added.
- 🚀 Phase 4 commenced: remaining routes (`compliance`, `settings`) moved from scaffolds to live sections.

## ⚠️ Issues to Address

### ✅ Fixed Issues (February 17, 2026)

1. **Security Vulnerability - React Router XSS** (HIGH) - ✅ **FIXED**
   - Updated react-router-dom from 6.30.2 to **6.30.3**
   - Updated @remix-run/router to **1.23.2**
   - **Status**: ✅ Vulnerability resolved
   - **Time Taken**: 5 minutes

2. **Security Vulnerability - Lodash Prototype Pollution** (MODERATE) - ✅ **FIXED**
   - Updated lodash from 4.17.21 to **4.17.23**
   - **Status**: ✅ Vulnerability resolved
   - **Time Taken**: 5 minutes

### Critical (Must Fix Before Production)

3. **Mock Backend** (CRITICAL)
   - Current backend is for development only
   - Plaintext passwords (no hashing)
   - Hardcoded JWT secrets
   - **Fix**: Deploy production backend API
   - **Time**: 8-24 hours

4. **Token Storage** (SECURITY)
   - Tokens in localStorage (XSS vulnerable)
   - **Fix**: Use httpOnly cookies
   - **Time**: 2-4 hours

5. **HTTPS** (SECURITY)
   - Not enforced
   - **Fix**: Configure in deployment
   - **Time**: 1 hour

### Important (Should Fix)

6. **Remaining Dev-Only Vulnerabilities** (MODERATE)
   - ajv ReDoS (affects ESLint only)
   - esbuild SSRF (affects Vite dev server only)
   - **Fix**: `npm audit fix --force` (breaking changes)
   - **Time**: 15 minutes
   - **Risk Level**: LOW (dev environment only)
   - 2 TypeScript errors
   - **Fix**: Update textarea.tsx and tailwind.config.ts
   - **Time**: 15 minutes

6. **Automated Testing** (QUALITY)
   - No test suite
   - **Fix**: Add Jest + React Testing Library
   - **Time**: 8-16 hours

7. **Monitoring** (OPERATIONS)
   - No error tracking
   - No performance monitoring
   - **Fix**: Add Sentry or similar
   - **Time**: 2-4 hours
