Pending Implementation Audit — Full docs vs Codebase Cross-Check
Date: February 24, 2026 (Session 13)
Method: Scanned all 41 _impl.md files + READMEs + specs across 75 feature directories. Cross-checked every pending item against actual codebase (src/, functions/src/).
Key Finding: 9 features that docs mark as "not started" or "awaiting implementation" are actually already built in the codebase. Docs are stale.
CRITICAL FINDING: Stale Documentation (Docs Say "Not Done" But Code Is Built)
These docs need updating — the features ARE implemented but docs still say otherwise:
| # | Feature | Doc Says | Codebase Reality | Files Found |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cost Self-Protection (SAFE_MODE) | "DOCUMENTED — Awaiting implementation" | ✅ FULLY BUILT | 22 files: lib/ops/safeMode.ts, api/ops/safe-mode/route.ts, database/ops/, integrated in 13 AI routes |
| 2 | Internal Feedback System | "28 tasks, 0% complete" | ✅ FULLY BUILT | 30 files: GuestFeedbackForm, api/public/feedback/submit/route.ts, database/guestFeedback/, types/guestFeedback.ts, hooks/useFeedback.ts, mobile screens |
| 3 | Menu Command Center | Doc implies partial | ✅ FULLY BUILT | 21 files: CommandCenterModal/, ActionEngine.tsx, ImpactPreview.tsx, bulkOperations.ts, 5 action types |
| 4 | Special Menu Switching | Scheduler "not implemented" | ✅ FULLY BUILT (except nightly scheduler) | 17 files: useSpecialMenus.ts, SpecialMenuCard.tsx, CreateSpecialMenuModal.tsx, specialMenuConfig.ts, mobile screen |
| 5 | Ops Alerting Delivery | "DOCUMENTED — Awaiting implementation" | ✅ BUILT | 14 files: lib/ops/alerts.ts, api/ops/mute-alerts/route.ts, opsControlRoom/, lib/messaging/ |
| 6 | Menu Kit | — | ✅ BUILT | 11 files: 6 templates (counter sticker, Google Maps, Instagram story, placement guide, table tent, WhatsApp status), menuKitGenerator.ts |
| 7 | Health Signals (Loyalty/Trust/Risk) | — | ✅ PARTIALLY BUILT | 7 files: HealthSignalCards.tsx, BehaviorNudgeCard.tsx, feature flags, store types |
| 8 | Continuous Menu Intelligence | "Needs building" | ✅ PARTIALLY BUILT | Cloud Function exists: functions/src/intelligence/menuIntelligence.ts, integrated in decisionBlocksScoring.ts, DAL at src/lib/intelligence/dal.ts |
| 9 | Store Onboarding UI | "DAL 100%, UI 0%" | ✅ UI BUILT | 15 files: AddOutletModal/, api/outlets/create/route.ts, api/outlets/deactivate/route.ts, locations/page.tsx, mobile MobileLocationsScreen.tsx |
Action needed: Update these 9 doc sets to reflect actual codebase state.
Additional Stale Docs Found in Deep Cross-Check (Session 13b)
| # | Feature | Doc Says | Codebase Reality | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | E5: Block outlet delete of inherited project | "❌ Not implemented" | ✅ IMPLEMENTED | deleteProject() at src/database/projects/index.ts:1078-1086 blocks deletion if masterProjectId exists |
| 11 | BE1: Billing revert on outlet creation failure | "❌ Not implemented" | ✅ IMPLEMENTED | api/outlets/create/route.ts:237-249 reverts Razorpay quantity on failure |
| 12 | BE3: Double-click outlet creation lock | "❌ Not implemented" | ✅ IMPLEMENTED | api/outlets/create/route.ts:79-92 uses atomic outletCreationLock transaction with 5-min TTL |
| 13 | BE8: Server-side subscription check | "❌ Need guard" | ✅ IMPLEMENTED | api/outlets/create/route.ts:71-75 checks sub.status !== 'active' + max outlet count at line 61-69 |
| 14 | Special Menu Nightly Scheduler | "❌ Not implemented" | ✅ FULLY BUILT | functions/src/decisionBlocksScoring.ts:801-920 — activates/deactivates special menus, sets temp status banners. Flag: ENABLE_SPECIAL_MENU_SWITCHING: false |
Total stale doc count: 14 features/edge cases where docs say "not implemented" but code is fully built.
GENUINELY NOT IMPLEMENTED (Docs + Code Agree)
Priority 1 — Pre-Launch Blockers
| # | Feature | Doc Reference | What's Missing | Codebase Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | AI Enhancement Packs Re-Architecture | ai-enhancement-packs_impl.md | 25 tasks: rename CreditPack → AIEnhancementPack, new capacity gate UI, remove credit exposure from 7+ components, new pack modal, billing history labels | Has basics (capacityCheck.ts, unitCosts.ts, capacityError.ts) but full re-architecture NOT done. CreditPackCard.tsx and CreditsPackModal.tsx still use old naming. |
| 2 | MCE Firestore Security Rules | menu-correctness-engine_impl.md | _mce field spoofing protection | Low risk: owner can only spoof own data, _mce stripped by sanitizeForClient(). Added structural note in rules. |
| 3 | menuSnapshots / menuChangeLog Firestore Rules | New (Session 13) | New collections need security rules | ✅ FIXED (Session 13b) — added append-only rules in firestore.rules |
Priority 2 — Post-Launch Important
| # | Feature | Doc Reference | What's Missing | Codebase Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | Holiday/Exception Hours (#2B) | hours-holiday-accuracy_impl.md | Holiday scheduling, exception hours, special day overrides | Zero code for holidayHours or holiday.*exception |
| 5 | Ownership Transfer | ownership-transfer/README.md | Full feature: transfer store ownership between users | Zero code matches for ownershipTransfer |
| 6 | Presence Dominance Scoring | presence-dominance_impl.md | Scoring system for measuring physical+digital presence per store | Zero code matches for presenceDominance or presenceScore |
| 7 | Razorpay International Payments | razorpay_impl.md | 5 Razorpay dashboard steps: enable international, KYC, approval, test payment, verify | All 5 steps marked ⬜ Pending |
Priority 3 — Future / Deferred
| # | Feature | Doc Reference | What's Missing | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | POS Webhook Sync Phase 4 | pos-webhook-sync_impl.md | Public docs page + email template | Low priority, infrastructure complete |
| 9 | SEO/AEO Phase 3 | seo-aeo-discovery-infrastructure/README.md | Real SMB data testing, multi-platform distribution research | Waiting for real stores |
| 10 | System Strengthening Audit Findings | system-strengthening_impl.md | Audit findings documented but "AWAITING IMPLEMENTATION APPROVAL" | Needs review of specific findings |
BLOCKED ON EXTERNAL DEPENDENCY
| # | Feature | Doc Reference | Blocker | Infrastructure Status |

Post-Launch (Genuinely Not Built)
- Holiday/Exception Hours (#2B) — zero code exists
- Ownership Transfer — zero code exists
- Presence Dominance scoring — zero code exists
- Razorpay International Payments — 5 Razorpay dashboard steps pending
- POS Webhook Phase 4 — public docs + email template
- System Strengthening audit findings — awaiting implementation review
Blocked (External Dependency)
- GBP Sync — waiting for Google API access
- Reviews & Reputation — waiting for Google API access
REVISED TOTALS (after deep cross-check):
- Stale docs fixed this session: 14 features/edge cases that docs claimed "not implemented" but code was fully built
- Genuinely not built: 7 features (4 post-launch, 1 pre-launch, 2 blocked)
- Code changes this session: Firestore security rules for 2 new collections
- The codebase is in much better shape than the docs suggested.
