Run full integration test suite with MongoDB 2. Address Mongoose duplicate index warnings 3. Performance testing under load 4. Security audit of precedent storage 5. Backup procedures documentation --- ## Next Steps (Optional) ### Immediate (If Continuing Development) 1. Fix Mongoose duplicate index warnings (schema optimization) 2. Run integration tests with full MongoDB initialization 3. Add precedent database MongoDB collection 4. Create UI for stakeholder approval workflow ### Future Enhancements 1.
