🚨 Critical Issues Requiring Immediate Attention

Priority 1: File Size Violations (CRITICAL)

Files exceeding 300-line limit:

Component	File	Lines	Status
Button	implementation_tests.rs	527	❌ VIOLATION
Button	new_york_tests.rs	638	❌ VIOLATION
Button	tests_legacy.rs	843	❌ VIOLATION
Input	new_york_tests.rs	365	❌ VIOLATION
Form	default.rs	302	❌ VIOLATION

Impact: These files are difficult to maintain, test, and understand.

Priority 2: Test Coverage Inconsistencies (HIGH)

Current Test Status:

• ✅ Button: 115 tests passing - EXCELLENT
• ⚠️ Input: Mixed test quality - needs improvement
• ⚠️ Dialog: Basic tests only - needs comprehensive coverage
• ⚠️ Form: Limited test coverage - needs expansion
• ❌ Table: Minimal test coverage - needs implementation

Priority 3: API Standardization (MEDIUM)

Issues Found:

• Mixed prop patterns across components
• Inconsistent event handling
• Varied accessibility implementations
• Contract testing framework partially implemented

🎯 Conclusion

This repository has excellent potential but requires immediate, focused effort to achieve production-ready status. The 4-week remediation plan will transform it from a partially-optimized library into a world-class, enterprise-ready component system.

Key Success Factors:

• Prioritize file size compliance above all else
• Maintain incremental progress with clear milestones
• Focus on critical components first
• Ensure quality gates at each phase

Expected Outcome: A production-ready, fully-optimized, well-documented component library that sets the gold standard for Rust/Leptos UI development.
