# Modernization Debt Log
Status: live
Last updated: 2026-06-03
Every shortcut, temporary adapter, retained vendored dependency, skipped
platform gate, compatibility shim, or incomplete automation path must be
recorded here before it lands. Entries must be specific enough for a future
agent or engineer to remove them without reconstructing context from chat.
## Entry Rules
- Add an entry before merging the shortcut.
- Reference the debt id in code comments, TODOs, ADRs, or roadmap notes.
- Include an owner, reason, validation command, and removal condition.
- Do not close an entry until the removal condition is met and validated.
- Prefer deleting shortcuts over expanding this log.
## Open Debt
| ID | Status | Owner | Item | Reason | Validation | Removal Condition |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| DEBT-0001 | Open | Modernization | Existing platform build files remain alongside new CMake | Required for incremental migration without losing platform coverage | Existing platform builds plus new CMake configure | Remove after all platform builds consume shared CMake targets |
| DEBT-0002 | Open | Modernization | Vendored SDK and patched libraries retained initially | Some dependencies are SDK-only, patched, or have platform-specific binaries | Dependency inventory and platform build smoke tests | Replace with vcpkg packages or document permanent vendored status after triplet evaluation |
| DEBT-0003 | Open | Modernization | Existing singletons remain during initial split; `App::open_document`, `App::request_close`, `App::share_file`, `App::cloud_upload`, `App::cloud_upload_all`, `App::cloud_browse`, `App::rec_start`, `App::rec_stop`, `App::rec_clear`, `App::rec_export`, file-menu save actions, `NodeCanvas` save hotkeys, new/open/browse dirty-document workflow prompts, new-document target/resolution/overwrite decisions, save-as document file naming and overwrite decisions, save-version target decisions, export start/target naming/path decisions, share-file saved-path decisions, file/image/save/directory picker selected-path decisions, display-file external-open decisions, virtual-keyboard visibility decisions, recording lifecycle/export progress decisions, cloud-upload prompt/save-before-upload decisions, cloud-browse availability and selected-download decisions, bulk cloud-upload progress decisions, tools/options app preference decisions, app status/display decisions, document resize decisions, layer rename decisions, `pano_cli classify-open`, `pano_cli plan-open-route`, `pano_cli plan-new-document`, `pano_cli plan-document-file`, `pano_cli plan-document-version`, `pano_cli plan-export-start`, `pano_cli plan-export-target`, `pano_cli plan-recording-session`, `pano_cli plan-app-preferences`, `pano_cli plan-app-status`, `pano_cli plan-document-resize`, `pano_cli plan-layer-rename`, `pano_cli plan-share-file`, `pano_cli plan-picked-path`, `pano_cli plan-display-file`, `pano_cli plan-keyboard-visibility`, `pano_cli plan-cloud-upload`, `pano_cli plan-cloud-browse`, `pano_cli plan-cloud-upload-all`, and `pano_cli simulate-app-session` now consume pure `pp_app_core` route/session/export/recording/preferences/status/share/platform-I/O/display/keyboard/cloud/resize/layer contracts, but document creation/loading, brush import execution, saving, export execution, tools/options UI execution, status/display UI rendering, document resize execution, layer rename execution, settings persistence, platform share service execution, picker service execution, display-file service execution, keyboard service execution, recording/MP4 execution, cloud upload execution, and cloud browse/download execution still reach legacy `Canvas::I`/UI/network/video/platform singletons | Avoid behavior changes while introducing component boundaries | App launch and component tests; `pp_app_core_document_route_tests`; `pp_app_core_document_export_tests`; `pp_app_core_document_recording_tests`; `pp_app_core_app_preferences_tests`; `pp_app_core_app_status_tests`; `pp_app_core_document_resize_tests`; `pp_app_core_document_layer_tests`; `pp_app_core_document_sharing_tests`; `pp_app_core_document_platform_io_tests`; `pp_app_core_document_cloud_tests`; `pp_app_core_document_session_tests`; `pano_cli classify-open --path D:/Paint/demo.ppi`; `pano_cli plan-open-route --path D:/Paint/demo.ppi --unsaved`; `pano_cli plan-new-document --work-dir D:/Paint --name demo --resolution-index 3 --target-exists`; `pano_cli plan-document-file --work-dir D:/Paint --name demo --target-exists`; `pano_cli plan-document-version --directory D:/Paint --doc-name demo.01 --existing-path D:/Paint/demo.02.ppi`; `pano_cli plan-export-start --requires-license --demo`; `pano_cli plan-export-target --kind file --work-dir D:/Paint --doc-name demo --extension .png`; `pano_cli plan-recording-session --running --frame-count 12`; `pano_cli plan-app-preferences --ui-scale 1.5 --display-density 2 --current-scale 1.6 --scale-option 1 --scale-option 1.5 --rtl`; `pano_cli plan-app-status --doc-name demo --unsaved --resolution 2048 --resolution-index 3 --zoom 1.25 --history-bytes 1572864 --recording-running --encoder-available --encoded-frames 12`; `pano_cli plan-document-resize --current-resolution 2048 --selected-resolution-index 4`; `pano_cli plan-layer-rename --old-name Base --new-name Paint`; `pano_cli plan-share-file --path D:/Paint/demo.ppi`; `pano_cli plan-picked-path --path D:/Paint/demo.ppi`; `pano_cli plan-display-file --path D:/Paint/export.png`; `pano_cli plan-keyboard-visibility --visible`; `pano_cli plan-cloud-upload --new-document --unsaved`; `pano_cli plan-cloud-browse --selected-file demo.ppi`; `pano_cli plan-cloud-upload-all --file-count 3`; `pano_cli simulate-app-session --unsaved --save-intent save-dirty-version`; `pano_cli simulate-app-session --no-canvas`; `ctest --preset desktop-fast --build-config Debug` | Replace singleton reaches with context/service injection at component boundaries |
| DEBT-0004 | Open | Modernization | Android, Linux, WebGL, Apple, and AppX build files remain platform-specific until root CMake alignment reaches them | Prevent platform regressions during incremental migration; raw Windows `.sln/.vcxproj` files were removed on 2026-05-31 by user decision | `cmake --preset windows-msvc-default`; platform-specific configure/build smoke checks as each platform is migrated | Root CMake owns every platform source list and package path |
| DEBT-0005 | Open | Modernization | Temporary local CTest harness is used before Catch2 is wired through vcpkg | `vcpkg` is not currently on PATH, but headless tests need to run now | `ctest --preset desktop-fast --build-config Debug` | Replace `tests/test_harness.h` tests with Catch2 tests once vcpkg toolchain/presets are validated |
| DEBT-0007 | Open | Modernization | `vcpkg.json` and `windows-msvc-vcpkg-headless` are validated for the headless Windows component matrix, but app targets still use vendored libraries and Android/Apple triplets are not proven | Dependency migration must stay incremental while SDK/patched/vendor dependencies remain in use | `$env:VCPKG_ROOT="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\vcpkg"; cmake --preset windows-msvc-vcpkg-headless`; `ctest --preset desktop-fast-vcpkg --build-config Debug` | Component targets consume vcpkg packages where reliable and desktop app, Android, and Apple triplets are validated or explicitly documented as permanent vendor exceptions |
| DEBT-0008 | Open | Modernization | `windows-msvc-default` preset is used for local validation because the VS 2026 generator is not installed here | The target VS 2026 preset must remain, but this machine configures with Visual Studio 17 2022 | `cmake --preset windows-msvc-default`; `ctest --preset desktop-fast --build-config Debug` | Validate `windows-vs2026-x64` on a machine with Visual Studio 2026 installed and make it the default Windows validation preset |
| DEBT-0009 | Open | Modernization | Android root CMake validation currently builds headless targets only, not APK/package variants; standard arm64/x64, Quest arm64, and Focus/Wave arm64 have named root build presets and share the refreshed `platform-build` component matrix | Platform app entrypoints still live in legacy Gradle/CMake projects and need Phase 6 alignment | `powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\automation\platform-build.ps1 -Presets android-arm64`; `cmake --build --preset android-x64`; `cmake --build --preset android-quest-arm64`; `cmake --build --preset android-focus-arm64` | Android standard, Quest, and Focus/Wave package targets consume shared component targets and have package smoke commands |
| DEBT-0010 | Open | Modernization | `pp_document` is a pure layer/frame/document/undo-history model with alpha-lock metadata, snapshot construction, per-layer frame metadata, renderer-free RGBA8 face payload storage, snapshot-embedded face-payload validation, renderer-free alpha8 selection-mask storage, PPI import/export helpers, and stroke-script-to-face-payload CLI automation, but it is not yet wired to legacy `Canvas`, legacy save, or legacy action commands | Keep extraction incremental while preserving app behavior | `ctest --preset desktop-fast --build-config Debug`; `pano_cli create-document --width 64 --height 32 --layers 2`; `pano_cli load-project --path tests\data\projects\minimal-project.ppi`; `pp_document_tests`; `pp_document_ppi_import_tests`; `pp_document_ppi_export_tests`; `pano_cli_simulate_document_edits_smoke`; `pano_cli_simulate_document_export_smoke`; `pano_cli_save_document_project_roundtrip_smoke`; `pano_cli_apply_stroke_script_roundtrip_smoke`; `pano_cli_apply_stroke_script_rejects_tiny_canvas` | Legacy document behavior is represented by `pp_document` tests and the app consumes it through a boundary/facade |
| DEBT-0011 | Open | Modernization | `package-smoke` validates the Windows CMake app artifact and now reports a structured package readiness matrix for Windows AppX, Android standard/Quest/Focus APKs, Apple bundles, and WebGL output, but those package outputs are still `blocked` because root CMake package targets do not exist yet | Platform package targets are not migrated to root CMake yet | `powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\automation\package-smoke.ps1 -Preset windows-msvc-default -Configuration Debug`; `bash -n scripts/automation/package-smoke.sh` | Package-smoke builds and validates Windows AppX, Android APK variants, Apple bundles, and WebGL output where local toolchains are present |
| DEBT-0012 | Open | Modernization | `pp_ui_core` uses vcpkg tinyxml2 on `windows-msvc-vcpkg-headless`, but retains `pp_vendor_tinyxml2` for default and unproven platform presets | Mobile/AppX/Apple triplets and app packaging still need validation before removing the vendored fallback | `ctest --preset desktop-fast-vcpkg --build-config Debug`; `ctest --preset desktop-fast --build-config Debug`; `powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\automation\platform-build.ps1 -Presets android-arm64` | All supported presets consume vcpkg tinyxml2 or document a permanent vendored exception |
| DEBT-0013 | Open | Modernization | `pp_assets`, `pp_document`, `pano_cli inspect-project`, `pano_cli load-project`, and `pano_cli save-project` validate the fixed PPI header, thumbnail/body byte layout, generated multi-layer/multi-frame PPI writing with explicit layer opacity/blend/alpha-lock/visibility metadata, per-layer frame durations, metadata-only and targeted dirty-face-payload save/load round-trips, layer/frame index, dirty-face descriptors, dirty-face PNG payload metadata, asset-level RGBA PNG payload decoding, pure document-to-PPI export, CLI document export automation, file-writing document export automation, stroke-script-generated document payload export, and decoded pixel attachment to `pp_document`, but full legacy PPI round-trip parity is not yet extracted | Full PPI save parity requires staged extraction of legacy `Canvas` serialization and image/layer payload handling | `ctest --preset desktop-fast --build-config Debug`; `pp_assets_image_pixels_tests`; `pp_assets_ppi_header_tests`; `pp_document_ppi_import_tests`; `pp_document_ppi_export_tests`; `pano_cli_inspect_project_layout_smoke`; `pano_cli_load_project_metadata_smoke`; `pano_cli_save_project_roundtrip_smoke`; `pano_cli_save_project_payload_roundtrip_smoke`; `pano_cli_simulate_document_export_smoke`; `pano_cli_save_document_project_roundtrip_smoke`; `pano_cli_apply_stroke_script_roundtrip_smoke`; `pano_cli_apply_stroke_script_rejects_tiny_canvas` | Full PPI load/save fixtures cover thumbnails, decoded layer face payloads attached to documents, frames, corrupt payloads, dirty-face payload saving, arbitrary legacy canvas payload/layout combinations, and legacy app round-trip compatibility |
| DEBT-0014 | Open | Modernization | `windows-clangcl-asan` now configures as a headless Ninja/clang-cl preset and uses the release MSVC runtime required by ASan, but local builds still fail because installed clang-cl 18.1.8 is paired with VS 2026-preview STL headers that require Clang 20 or newer | Sanitizer validation should be local and repeatable, but this machine's compiler/header pairing is incompatible | `cmake --fresh --preset windows-clangcl-asan`; `cmake --build --preset windows-clangcl-asan --target pp_foundation` | Install/use Clang 20+ with the VS 2026 STL, or point the preset at a compatible VS 2022 toolchain, then make `platform-build.ps1 -Presets windows-clangcl-asan` pass for the headless matrix |
| DEBT-0015 | Open | Modernization | Cursor visibility requests now consume pure `pp_app_core` planning through `pano_cli plan-cursor-visibility`, `App::show_cursor`/`App::hide_cursor` dispatch through `PlatformServices` without platform guards, and Windows live execution uses injected `WindowsPlatformServices`, but macOS cursor execution still reaches the retained fallback adapter | Keep canvas cursor behavior stable while platform shells are extracted incrementally | `pp_app_core_document_platform_io_tests`; `pano_cli plan-cursor-visibility --visible`; `ctest --preset desktop-fast --build-config Debug` | Cursor visibility execution is owned by injected `pp_platform_*` services for every supported platform |
| DEBT-0016 | Open | Modernization | Clipboard get/set requests now consume pure `pp_app_core` planning through `pano_cli plan-clipboard-read` and `pano_cli plan-clipboard-write`, and Windows live execution uses injected `WindowsPlatformServices`, but Apple/Android clipboard execution still reaches retained fallback adapter branches from `App::clipboard_get_text` and `App::clipboard_set_text` | Keep picker/color text clipboard behavior stable while platform shells are extracted incrementally | `pp_app_core_document_platform_io_tests`; `pano_cli plan-clipboard-write --text #ff00aa`; `ctest --preset desktop-fast --build-config Debug` | Clipboard execution is owned by injected `pp_platform_*` services for every supported platform |
| DEBT-0017 | Open | Modernization | Startup storage path preparation, `App::clipboard_get_text`, `App::clipboard_set_text`, `App::show_cursor`, `App::hide_cursor`, `App::showKeyboard`, `App::hideKeyboard`, `App::display_file`, `App::share_file`, native app/window close, UI-thread lifecycle hooks, render-context acquire/release/present hooks, render-target binding hooks, render platform hint hooks, render debug callback hooks, render-capture frame hooks, recording cleanup, live asset/layout reload policy, diagnostic stacktrace/crash hooks, per-frame platform hooks, `App::pick_image`, `App::pick_file`, the non-writer `App::pick_file_save`, `App::pick_dir`, and prepared-file save/download handoff now call the SDK-free `pp::platform::PlatformServices` interface, and Windows injects `WindowsPlatformServices` from `src/platform_windows/windows_platform_services.*`; non-Windows live implementations still use `src/platform_legacy/legacy_platform_services.*`, a named fallback adapter that forwards to retained Apple/Android/Linux/Web bridge functions and retained no-op branches | Preserve behavior while moving platform execution behind a testable service boundary before platform shell implementations are injected | `pp_platform_api_tests`; `pp_app_core_document_platform_io_tests`; `ctest --preset desktop-fast --build-config Debug`; `powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\automation\package-smoke.ps1 -Preset windows-msvc-default -Configuration Debug` | Replace `src/platform_legacy/legacy_platform_services.*` with injected `pp_platform_*` service implementations owned by each non-Windows platform shell |
| DEBT-0019 | Open | Modernization | MSVC warning C4100 is muted globally through `pp_project_warnings` with `/wd4100` | Legacy callbacks, virtual hooks, serializer methods, and platform/API compatibility functions carry many intentionally unused parameters during the component split; muting this keeps stricter warning builds focused on higher-signal migration issues | `cmake --build --preset windows-msvc-default --config Debug --target PanoPainter`; `ctest --preset desktop-fast --build-config Debug` | Remove `/wd4100`, mark intentionally unused parameters with names/comments or `[[maybe_unused]]`, and make the Windows app and headless tests pass without C4100 warnings |
| DEBT-0020 | Open | Modernization | Document resize dialog state and selected-resolution planning now consume pure `pp_app_core` through `NodeDialogResize`, `App::dialog_resize`, and `pano_cli plan-document-resize`, but live resize execution still calls legacy `Canvas::resize` and clears legacy `ActionManager` history directly | Preserve existing layer/frame GPU resize behavior while the document model and canvas execution boundary are extracted incrementally | `pp_app_core_document_resize_tests`; `pano_cli plan-document-resize --current-resolution 2048 --selected-resolution-index 4`; `ctest --preset desktop-fast --build-config Debug` | Document resize execution is owned by a document/app boundary with legacy `Canvas` acting only as an adapter or removed entirely |
| DEBT-0021 | Open | Modernization | Layer rename and layer panel operation planning now consume pure `pp_app_core` through `App::dialog_layer_rename`, `App::init_sidebar` layer callbacks, `pano_cli plan-layer-rename`, and `pano_cli plan-layer-operation`, but live execution still mutates legacy `Canvas` layer state, `NodeLayer`/`NodePanelLayer`, and `ActionManager` undo entries directly | Preserve existing UI/canvas behavior while document layer commands and undo history are extracted incrementally | `pp_app_core_document_layer_tests`; `pano_cli plan-layer-rename --old-name Base --new-name Paint`; `pano_cli plan-layer-operation --kind add --layer-count 2 --index 1 --name Paint`; `ctest --preset desktop-fast --build-config Debug` | Layer command execution is owned by the document/app command boundary with legacy `Canvas`/UI nodes acting only as adapters or removed entirely |
## Closed Debt
| ID | Status | Owner | Item | Reason | Validation | Removal Condition |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| DEBT-0006 | Closed | Modernization | `pano_cli create-document` validates and emits JSON command contracts but does not yet invoke the legacy document/app model | The document model had not been extracted from `Canvas`/`App` yet | `ctest --preset desktop-fast --build-config Debug`; `pano_cli_create_document_smoke` | Closed on 2026-05-31: command now constructs a real `pp_document::CanvasDocument` |
| DEBT-0018 | Closed | Modernization | `pp_renderer_gl` owned a tested `OpenGlInitialState` plan for PanoPainter startup depth/blend policy, but `App::init` still executed the plan through direct OpenGL calls | Preserve behavior while moving renderer policy into the backend boundary before a live `IRenderDevice`/command context owns startup execution | `pp_renderer_gl_capabilities_tests`; `ctest --preset desktop-fast --build-config Debug`; `powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\automation\package-smoke.ps1 -Preset windows-msvc-default -Configuration Debug` | Closed on 2026-06-03: `pp_renderer_gl::apply_panopainter_initial_state` now applies the startup state through a tested backend dispatch contract consumed by `App::init` |
