Detailed Task Status

Critical Path Tasks (Must Complete First)

Task ID Description Status Assignee Start Date Due Date Notes
API-001 Disable transcoding endpoint Pending TBD - - Critical path blocker
API-002 Remove transcoding redirect Pending TBD - - Depends on API-001
FORMAT-001 Redesign format detection Pending TBD - - Depends on API-002
UI-001 Create launcher component Pending TBD - - Depends on FORMAT-001

Risk Assessment

🔴 High Risk Tasks

  1. API-001/002: Critical path - affects all video playback
  2. FORMAT-001: Core logic change with widespread impact
  3. LAUNCH-001: Platform compatibility complexity

🟡 Medium Risk Tasks

  1. UI-001: Complex component with multiple states
  2. TEST-001: Comprehensive testing required
  3. SETTINGS-001: UI integration complexity

🟢 Low Risk Tasks

  1. CLEANUP tasks: Non-critical path items
  2. Documentation: Can be done post-deployment
  3. UI-002: Simple visual updates
