Analysis: Project Health (2026-04-06)

abstract

UnitCycle is ~15% through its AI roadmap with strong Phase 1 momentum but significant test coverage debt and a long tail of 16 remaining features.

Strengths

Phase 1 velocity — 3 features in 3 days (F1.1 on 3/27, F1.2 on 3/28, F1.3 on 3/29)
Real data foundation — 33 properties, 6,666 units, 483K rows. No mocks.
Architecture is sound — companion table pattern, managed=False discipline, theme system with 208 vars
UI completeness — Dashboard, properties, tenants, owners, work orders, leasing pipeline, vendor portal all built

Test coverage debt — Leasing features (screening, lease gen, move-in) have ZERO Playwright tests. This is blocking.
server.js fragility — Agents overwrite it during delegated tasks. Single point of failure for the raw SQL API layer.
Long tail — 16/19 features remaining across Phases 2–5. At Phase 1 velocity (1 feature/day), that's 16 days minimum, but Phase 2+ features are larger.
F3.2 in progress — Invoice processing partly built but not complete. Active blocker before F3.3.

Clear test debt before Phase 2 — Write Playwright tests for all leasing features. The debt compounds.
Protect server.js — Consider migrating embedded SQL endpoints to Django DRF to reduce single-file risk.
F3.2 → F3.3 pipeline — Finish invoice processing, then Portfolio Chat. These are the highest-impact remaining features.
Collections enhancements (F1.3E) — 25 tasks spec'd. Evaluate whether to tackle before or after Phase 2.

From wiki/summaries/progress-tracker — 3/19 complete, test gaps in leasing/WO/collections
From wiki/summaries/active-context — F3.2 active, server.js fragility noted
From wiki/concepts/ai-roadmap — 200+ tasks, 110 ACs remaining
