🚨 Critical Remediation Plan - leptos-shadcn-ui

Executive Summary

Current Status: ❌ NOT PRODUCTION READY despite marketing claims.

Based on comprehensive staff engineer review, this repository requires significant remediation before it can be considered production-ready. The Oracle's analysis reveals major gaps between claims and reality.

🔍 Critical Issues Identified

1. Test Coverage Reality

• Claim: 100% test coverage, 300+ tests
• Reality: ~170 actual assertions, mostly assert!(true) placeholders
• Impact: No confidence in component functionality

2. Component Implementation Gaps

• Claim: 46 production-ready components
• Reality: Only ~10 have substantial implementation, many are empty stubs
• Impact: Components will fail in real applications

3. Version & Dependency Issues

• Current: Leptos 0.8 (outdated for Sept 2025)
• Latest: Rust 1.90.0 (Sept 18, 2025), Leptos likely 0.9+ available
• Impact: Security and compatibility risks

4. File Size Violations

• Issue: Multiple files exceed 300 lines (up to 891 lines)
• Impact: Reduced testability and LLM comprehension
• Files: 19 files over limit, need immediate breakdown

5. Infrastructure Failures

• CI Pipeline: Many jobs never execute due to dependency issues
• Performance Audit: Binaries referenced don't exist
• E2E Tests: Not integrated into CI, mostly aspirational

📋 Remediation Priority Matrix

Phase 1: Critical Fixes (Immediate - 1 week)

1. Fix Test Coverage Crisis
2. Update Dependencies to Latest
3. Break Down Large Files
4. Fix CI Pipeline

Phase 2: Core Implementation (2-4 weeks)

5. Complete Core Components
6. Implement Real API Contracts
7. Add Accessibility Testing
8. Performance Audit Implementation

Phase 3: Production Readiness (4-6 weeks)

9. Documentation Overhaul
10. Release Management
11. Security Audit
12. Cross-Browser Testing

🎯 Success Criteria

Phase 1 Complete

• All tests have real assertions (no assert!(true))
• All files under 300 lines
• Latest Rust 1.90.0 and Leptos 0.9+
• CI pipeline fully functional

Phase 2 Complete

• 10 core components fully implemented
• Real performance benchmarks passing
• Accessibility tests with axe-core
• API contracts enforced

Phase 3 Complete

• Storybook/component catalog
• Semantic versioning automation
• Security scanning gates
• Cross-browser E2E tests

📊 Resource Estimation

• Total Effort: ~200-300 person hours
• Team Size: 2-3 senior engineers + 1 designer
• Timeline: 6-8 weeks for full production readiness
• Budget: $50k-75k in engineering time

🚦 Go/No-Go Decision

Current Recommendation: NO-GO for production use.

Path to Production:

1. Complete Phase 1 fixes (critical)
2. Implement 10 core components properly (Phase 2)
3. Add comprehensive testing and documentation (Phase 3)

Next Steps

1. Review individual remediation documents in this folder
2. Prioritize Phase 1 critical fixes
3. Assign ownership for each remediation item
4. Set up weekly progress reviews
5. Consider bringing in external audit team
