Technical Debt

Priority 4 Incomplete

• Admin triage queue UI not yet created
• Public transparency page not yet created
• Testing workflow not yet executed
• Frontend deployment pending

Impact: Low - backend fully functional, can be tested via API Effort: 4-6 hours for complete frontend implementation Priority: HIGH - complete Priority 4 before moving to Priority 5

Documentation

• User guide for media triage system (recommended)
• API documentation for triage endpoints (optional - routes have inline docs)

Impact: Low - system is self-documenting via transparent AI reasoning Effort: 2-3 hours Priority: MEDIUM - can wait until after Priority 5-6
