TODO — Pending features and sustainability

Quick overview of what's still to be done. Full details in SUGGESTIONS.md.


Recently completed

Memory exhaustion during large M365 scans

Six root causes fixed in scan_engine.py and document_scanner.py:

  • Email body HTML stripped at collection time (body key deleted from each message dict before it enters work_items; plain text stored as _precomputed_body instead)
  • work_items list converted to a deque before processing so each item is released immediately after popleft()
  • del content added in file-processing branch as soon as raw bytes are no longer needed (before NER/PII counting)
  • del body_text added after email body is fully consumed
  • PDF OCR page images (PIL.Image) nulled out one by one after OCR instead of holding all pages in RAM
  • Memory guard using psutil skips file downloads when < 300 MB RAM is available

Still open: The collection phase itself is still a "gather all, then process" loop. For very large tenants (>500k emails) the pre-extracted plain text in work_items could still be significant. The complete fix is to process each user's emails/files inline as they are fetched (generator/streaming pattern) rather than accumulating them into work_items first — estimated 12 days of refactor.

#33 — Read-only viewer mode with PIN/token URL

A shareable URL (token-protected) or numeric PIN that gives a DPO, school principal, or compliance coordinator read-only access to the results grid — with disposition tagging but without scan controls, credentials, or delete access. Full spec in SUGGESTIONS.md §33.
Size: Medium · Priority: Medium

#32 — Windowed mode for Profiles, Sources, and Settings ✗ Won't do

The workflow is sequential (configure → scan → review), not parallel — there is no realistic scenario where a modal and the results grid need to be open simultaneously. The Sources panel is already visible in the sidebar. Option A (the least-work path) still loads the full 3800-line JS stack twice. Closed.
