Tracking: next action items (Phase 8 + high-priority backlog)

[cursor]

Goal

Track the simplified next-action plan after Phase 7 scope cleanup (demo video / launch announcement removed).

Do first

• Wire production API origin for public demo (CORTEX_API_ORIGIN) #61 — Wire production API origin for public demo (CORTEX_API_ORIGIN)

Phase 8 product

• Phase 8: Implement coverage scorer on /query and MCP inject #62 — Coverage scorer on /query + MCP inject
• Phase 8: Implement outcome linker (decision → metrics/incidents) #63 — Outcome linker (decision → metrics/incidents)
• Phase 8: Meeting transcript connector #64 — Meeting transcript connector
• Hardening: thread-aware decision extraction + mid-confidence review queue #65 — Thread-aware extraction + mid-confidence review queue

High-priority existing backlog

• Redis query cache invalidation on pipeline writes #33 — Redis query cache invalidation on pipeline writes
• Decay engine scheduler in docker-compose #36 — Decay engine scheduler in docker-compose
• MCP tools: contradiction review and decision chain #32 — MCP tools: contradiction review and decision chain
• MCP server automated test suite and CI job #31 — MCP server automated test suite and CI job

Then (quality / polish)

• Staging CI: Playwright against live API #37 — Staging CI: Playwright against live API
• ReviewView contradiction flow E2E test #38 — ReviewView contradiction flow E2E
• AgentsView frontend unit tests #39 — AgentsView frontend unit tests
• Unit tests for episodic and semantic memory modules #40 — Unit tests for episodic and semantic memory
• Cross-connector duplicate Kafka event E2E test #41 — Cross-connector duplicate Kafka event E2E
• Add Dependabot for pyproject and package-lock #48 — Dependabot
• Add CHANGELOG.md and release workflow #47 — CHANGELOG + release workflow
• Add feature_request.yml issue template #46 — Feature request issue template

Suggested order

1. Wire production API origin for public demo (CORTEX_API_ORIGIN) #61 → Redis query cache invalidation on pipeline writes #33 → Decay engine scheduler in docker-compose #36
2. Phase 8: Implement coverage scorer on /query and MCP inject #62 → Phase 8: Implement outcome linker (decision → metrics/incidents) #63
3. MCP tools: contradiction review and decision chain #32 → MCP server automated test suite and CI job #31
4. Staging CI: Playwright against live API #37–Cross-connector duplicate Kafka event E2E test #41, Add feature_request.yml issue template #46–Add Dependabot for pyproject and package-lock #48 in parallel
5. Phase 8: Meeting transcript connector #64 → Hardening: thread-aware decision extraction + mid-confidence review queue #65 when connector/extraction depth is next
