# Incomplete Implementations Analysis

**Date:** 2025-01-27  
**Version:** 4.7.1  
**Status:** **Historical (as of 2025-01-27).** Line numbers and file paths may have shifted. For current gaps, verify against the codebase and see [INVENTORY_IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS](features/INVENTORY_IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS.md) and [activity_feed](features/activity_feed.md) where applicable.

### Still relevant (high level)

Items that may still need attention (verify in current code):

- **Security:** **Verified 2026-03-16:** GitHub and Jira webhook signature verification implemented; issues module permission filtering for non-admins implemented (see CODEBASE_AUDIT.md).
- **Integrations:** QuickBooks customer/account mapping; CalDAV bidirectional sync
- **API:** **Verified 2026-03-16:** Search endpoint `/api/search` exists and is used; see CODEBASE_AUDIT.
- **Offline/PWA:** **Verified 2026-03-16:** Offline queue now stores and replays request body/method; push subscription storage may still need verification.
- **Error handling:** High-impact PEPPOL (invoices) and activity_feed date params addressed 2026-03-16; other `pass` handlers remain.

## Conclusion

The TimeTracker application has a solid foundation with most core features implemented. However, there are several areas that need attention:

1. **Security:** Webhook signature verification and permission filtering need completion
2. **Offline Support:** Task and project synchronization need implementation
3. **Integrations:** Some integrations need bidirectional sync and proper entity mapping
4. **Error Handling:** Many exception handlers need proper implementation
5. **API Completeness:** Search API endpoint needs implementation

Most incomplete implementations are in error handling and edge cases, which is common in large codebases. The high-priority items should be addressed first to ensure security and core functionality.

---

## Notes

- This analysis is based on static code analysis and may not reflect runtime behavior
- Some `pass` statements may be intentional placeholders for future features
- Error handling with `pass` may be acceptable if errors are logged elsewhere
- Integration implementations may be complete but need testing with real services
