This can lead to unstructured issue submissions.\n    *   *Recommendation*: Add `bug_report.md` and `feature_request.md` templates.\n\n2.  **Static Type Checking**:\n    *   There is no evidence of strict static type checking (e.g., `mypy` or `pyright`) in `pyproject.toml` or `justfile`.\n    *   *Recommendation*: Integrate `mypy` into the dev dependencies and the `just check` command to catch type errors early.\n\n3.  **Justfile `check` Command**:\n    *   The `check` command runs `format`, which usually *applies* formatting. In CI or check contexts, it is often better to verify formatting (e.g., `ruff format --check`) rather than modifying files.\n    *   *Recommendation*: Update `justfile` to have separate `fix` (apply format) and `lint` (check format) commands, or ensure `check` uses non-mutating verification.\n\n4.  **Local Dev Setup**:\n    *   While `uv` is great, ensuring `uv` itself is installed is the first step. Adding a small \"One-line setup\" or check script could further lower the barrier.\n\n### 📋 Action Plan\n\n- [ ] Create `bug_report.md` and `feature_request.md` in `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE`.\n- [ ] Add `mypy` to optional dependencies and configure it.\n- [ ] Refine `justfile` commands to distinguish between checking and fixing code.\n","status":"open","priority":2,"issue_type":"task","created_at":"2026-01-17T11:31:47.09959-05:00","created_by":"jay.miller","updated_at":"2026-01-17T11:31:47.09959-05:00","labels":["enhancement","report"]}

This makes future maintenance harder.\n    *   **Inconsistent Breakpoints**: Media queries use a mix of values: `600px`, `768px`, `800px`, `1080px`. This can lead to unpredictable layout behavior on intermediate devices.\n    *   **Tight Coupling**: Specific selectors like `article.pico-background-pumpkin-650` couple the custom CSS tightly to specific content choices.\n\n2.  **Performance**:\n    *   **jQuery Dependency**: `jquery.min.js` is loaded. If this is only used for the mobile menu toggle or simple interactions, it should be replaced with vanilla JavaScript to reduce page load weight.\n    *   **CSS Requests**: Multiple CSS files are loaded (`pico.min.css`, `pico.colors.min.css`, `bpd.css`).\n    *   **Unminified Assets**: `bpd.css` is served unminified.\n\n3.  **Design System**:\n    *   The \"Language Switcher\" implementation in the header is functional but could be styled to match the native OS or Pico theme better.\n\n### 📋 Action Plan\n\n- [ ] **Standardize Breakpoints**: Define a clear set of breakpoints (e.g., Mobile, Tablet, Desktop) and refactor CSS to use them consistently.\n- [ ] **Audit jQuery Usage**: Identify where jQuery is used and refactor to Vanilla JS if possible.\n- [ ] **Refactor CSS**: Remove `!important` tags by increasing specificity or adjusting load order/Pico configuration.\n- [ ] **Performance**: Investigate merging or minifying custom CSS assets during the build process.\n","status":"open","priority":2,"issue_type":"task","created_at":"2026-01-17T11:31:46.999528-05:00","created_by":"jay.miller","updated_at":"2026-01-17T11:31:46.999528-05:00","labels":["a11y","design","performance","report"]}

This can lead to unstructured issue submissions.\n    *   *Recommendation*: Add `bug_report.md` and `feature_request.md` templates.\n\n2.  **Static Type Checking**:\n    *   There is no evidence of strict static type checking (e.g., `mypy` or `pyright`) in `pyproject.toml` or `justfile`.\n    *   *Recommendation*: Integrate `mypy` into the dev dependencies and the `just check` command to catch type errors early.\n\n3.  **Justfile `check` Command**:\n    *   The `check` command runs `format`, which usually *applies* formatting. In CI or check contexts, it is often better to verify formatting (e.g., `ruff format --check`) rather than modifying files.\n    *   *Recommendation*: Update `justfile` to have separate `fix` (apply format) and `lint` (check format) commands, or ensure `check` uses non-mutating verification.\n\n4.  **Local Dev Setup**:\n    *   While `uv` is great, ensuring `uv` itself is installed is the first step. Adding a small \"One-line setup\" or check script could further lower the barrier.\n\n### 📋 Action Plan\n\n- [ ] Create `bug_report.md` and `feature_request.md` in `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE`.\n- [ ] Add `mypy` to optional dependencies and configure it.\n- [ ] Refine `justfile` commands to distinguish between checking and fixing code.\n","status":"open","priority":2,"issue_type":"task","created_at":"2026-01-17T11:31:47.09959-05:00","created_by":"jay.miller","updated_at":"2026-01-17T11:31:47.09959-05:00","labels":["enhancement","report"]}

This makes future maintenance harder.\n    *   **Inconsistent Breakpoints**: Media queries use a mix of values: `600px`, `768px`, `800px`, `1080px`. This can lead to unpredictable layout behavior on intermediate devices.\n    *   **Tight Coupling**: Specific selectors like `article.pico-background-pumpkin-650` couple the custom CSS tightly to specific content choices.\n\n2.  **Performance**:\n    *   **jQuery Dependency**: `jquery.min.js` is loaded. If this is only used for the mobile menu toggle or simple interactions, it should be replaced with vanilla JavaScript to reduce page load weight.\n    *   **CSS Requests**: Multiple CSS files are loaded (`pico.min.css`, `pico.colors.min.css`, `bpd.css`).\n    *   **Unminified Assets**: `bpd.css` is served unminified.\n\n3.  **Design System**:\n    *   The \"Language Switcher\" implementation in the header is functional but could be styled to match the native OS or Pico theme better.\n\n### 📋 Action Plan\n\n- [ ] **Standardize Breakpoints**: Define a clear set of breakpoints (e.g., Mobile, Tablet, Desktop) and refactor CSS to use them consistently.\n- [ ] **Audit jQuery Usage**: Identify where jQuery is used and refactor to Vanilla JS if possible.\n- [ ] **Refactor CSS**: Remove `!important` tags by increasing specificity or adjusting load order/Pico configuration.\n- [ ] **Performance**: Investigate merging or minifying custom CSS assets during the build process.\n","status":"open","priority":2,"issue_type":"task","created_at":"2026-01-17T11:31:46.999528-05:00","created_by":"jay.miller","updated_at":"2026-01-17T11:31:46.999528-05:00","labels":["a11y","design","performance","report"]}

This can lead to unstructured issue submissions.\n    *   *Recommendation*: Add `bug_report.md` and `feature_request.md` templates.\n\n2.  **Static Type Checking**:\n    *   There is no evidence of strict static type checking (e.g., `mypy` or `pyright`) in `pyproject.toml` or `justfile`.\n    *   *Recommendation*: Integrate `mypy` into the dev dependencies and the `just check` command to catch type errors early.\n\n3.  **Justfile `check` Command**:\n    *   The `check` command runs `format`, which usually *applies* formatting. In CI or check contexts, it is often better to verify formatting (e.g., `ruff format --check`) rather than modifying files.\n    *   *Recommendation*: Update `justfile` to have separate `fix` (apply format) and `lint` (check format) commands, or ensure `check` uses non-mutating verification.\n\n4.  **Local Dev Setup**:\n    *   While `uv` is great, ensuring `uv` itself is installed is the first step. Adding a small \"One-line setup\" or check script could further lower the barrier.\n\n### 📋 Action Plan\n\n- [ ] Create `bug_report.md` and `feature_request.md` in `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE`.\n- [ ] Add `mypy` to optional dependencies and configure it.\n- [ ] Refine `justfile` commands to distinguish between checking and fixing code.\n","status":"open","priority":2,"issue_type":"task","created_at":"2026-01-17T11:31:47.09959-05:00","created_by":"jay.miller","updated_at":"2026-01-17T11:31:47.09959-05:00","labels":["enhancement","report"]}

This makes future maintenance harder.\n    *   **Inconsistent Breakpoints**: Media queries use a mix of values: `600px`, `768px`, `800px`, `1080px`. This can lead to unpredictable layout behavior on intermediate devices.\n    *   **Tight Coupling**: Specific selectors like `article.pico-background-pumpkin-650` couple the custom CSS tightly to specific content choices.\n\n2.  **Performance**:\n    *   **jQuery Dependency**: `jquery.min.js` is loaded. If this is only used for the mobile menu toggle or simple interactions, it should be replaced with vanilla JavaScript to reduce page load weight.\n    *   **CSS Requests**: Multiple CSS files are loaded (`pico.min.css`, `pico.colors.min.css`, `bpd.css`).\n    *   **Unminified Assets**: `bpd.css` is served unminified.\n\n3.  **Design System**:\n    *   The \"Language Switcher\" implementation in the header is functional but could be styled to match the native OS or Pico theme better.\n\n### 📋 Action Plan\n\n- [ ] **Standardize Breakpoints**: Define a clear set of breakpoints (e.g., Mobile, Tablet, Desktop) and refactor CSS to use them consistently.\n- [ ] **Audit jQuery Usage**: Identify where jQuery is used and refactor to Vanilla JS if possible.\n- [ ] **Refactor CSS**: Remove `!important` tags by increasing specificity or adjusting load order/Pico configuration.\n- [ ] **Performance**: Investigate merging or minifying custom CSS assets during the build process.\n","status":"open","priority":2,"issue_type":"task","created_at":"2026-01-17T11:31:46.999528-05:00","created_by":"jay.miller","updated_at":"2026-01-17T11:31:46.999528-05:00","labels":["a11y","design","performance","report"]}
