- ✅ Token rotation functionality
- ✅ Token revocation
- ✅ Scope validation
- ✅ Expiring tokens detection
- ✅ Rate limiting foundation (placeholder for Redis)
- ✅ IP whitelist support

**Security Improvements:**
- ✅ Token rotation prevents long-lived compromised tokens
- ✅ Scope validation ensures proper permissions
- ✅ Expiration warnings for proactive management
- ✅ Rate limiting foundation ready for Redis integration

---

## 🚧 In Progress

### 6. API Security Enhancements (Partial)

**Status:** Token rotation and validation implemented, rate limiting needs Redis

**Remaining:**
- [ ] Integrate Redis for rate limiting per token
- [ ] Add token expiration warnings to admin UI
- [ ] Add token rotation endpoint to admin routes
- [ ] Add scope-based permission checks to API routes

---

## 📋 Remaining Critical Items

### 7. Complete Route Migration

**Status:** Projects routes migrated, others pending

**Remaining Routes:**
- [ ] `app/routes/tasks.py` - Migrate to TaskService
- [ ] `app/routes/invoices.py` - Migrate to InvoiceService  
- [ ] `app/routes/reports.py` - Migrate to ReportingService
- [ ] `app/routes/budget_alerts.py` - Migrate to service layer
- [ ] `app/routes/kiosk.py` - Migrate to service layer

**Estimated Effort:** 2-3 weeks

---

### 8. Database Query Optimization

**Status:** Foundation exists, needs implementation

**Tasks:**
- [ ] Add query logging in development mode
- [ ] Analyze slow queries
- [ ] Add database indexes for common queries
- [ ] Optimize remaining N+1 queries in other routes

**Files:**
- `app/utils/query_optimization.py` exists but needs expansion
- `migrations/versions/062_add_performance_indexes.py` exists

**Estimated Effort:** 1 week

---

### 9. Caching Layer Implementation

**Status:** Foundation exists, needs Redis integration

**Tasks:**
- [ ] Add Redis dependency
- [ ] Implement session storage in Redis
- [ ] Cache frequently accessed data (settings, user preferences)
- [ ] Cache API responses (GET requests)
- [ ] Cache rendered templates

**Files:**
- `app/utils/cache.py` exists but not used

**Estimated Effort:** 1-2 weeks

---

### 10. Test Coverage Increase

**Status:** Test infrastructure exists, coverage ~50%

**Tasks:**
- [ ] Add tests for new service methods
- [ ] Add tests for migrated routes
- [ ] Add tests for API token service
- [ ] Add tests for environment validation
- [ ] Increase coverage to 80%+

**Estimated Effort:** 3-4 weeks

---

### 11. Type Hints Addition

**Status:** Some services have type hints, inconsistent

**Tasks:**
- [ ] Add type hints to all service methods
- [ ] Add type hints to all repository methods
- [ ] Add type hints to route handlers
- [ ] Enable mypy checking in CI

**Estimated Effort:** 1 week

---

**Tasks:**
- [ ] Audit all routes for error handling
- [ ] Migrate to use `api_responses.py` helpers
- [ ] Standardize error messages
- [ ] Add error logging

**Estimated Effort:** 1 week

---

### 13. Docstrings Addition

**Tasks:**
- [ ] Add docstrings to all public service methods
- [ ] Add docstrings to all repository methods
- [ ] Add docstrings to route handlers
- [ ] Use Google-style docstrings consistently

**Estimated Effort:** 1 week

---

### 14. API Versioning Strategy

**Status:** Multiple API files exist, no clear versioning

**Tasks:**
- [ ] Design versioning strategy
- [ ] Reorganize API routes into versioned structure
- [ ] Add version negotiation
- [ ] Document versioning policy

**Estimated Effort:** 1 week
