🎯 Priority Issues to Track

High Priority

   • Affects apply, sync, plan, diff commands
   • Tokens can expire mid-execution (15-min window)
   • Causes partial failures with cryptic error messages
   • Impact: Critical for large deployments
   • Solution outlined: Reactive retry via custom RoundTripper

2. Bug: An empty config.yaml file alters the behavior of config loading and auth resolution #362 - Empty config.yaml breaks auth resolution

   • Edge case affecting default profile behavior

3. Bug: diff command does not accept mode #361 - diff command missing mode parameter

   • UX inconsistency vs plan/apply

Enhancement Opportunities

• Feat: Add Create and Update capabilities to TUI #369 - Add Create/Update to TUI (great contributor opportunity!)
• enhancement: add resources either iteratively in resource-set or from one place to avoid missing any #359 - Improve resource counting approach
• Fix: Remove unnecessary queries in planner for apply mode #358 - Optimize planner queries in apply mode
• Feat: Add !env yaml tag processor to support env var value loading #353 - Add !env YAML tag for environment variables
• Feat: Move auth-strategies resources under the portal "bucket" #352 - Reorganize auth-strategies as portal resources

💡 Recommendations

For Maintainers

1. Review PR Feat: Event Gateway Listeners #365 - Event Gateway Listeners feature is substantial and ready for review
2. Prioritize Bug: Access token not refreshed during long-running operations; mid-flight 401 causes partial failures #370 - Token refresh bug impacts production use cases significantly
3. Merge dependency updates - Keep dependencies current (fix(deps): update module github.com/ajg/form to v1.6.1 #379, chore(deps): pin github/gh-aw action to 9382be3 #377, chore(deps): update actions/download-artifact action to v7 #374)
4. Documentation - Consider updating beta warning as stability improves

For Contributors

• 🆕 Good First Issue: help for kongctl plan command gives a misleading example. #343 - Help text improvement (small, well-defined)
• 🎨 UI Enhancement: Feat: Add Create and Update capabilities to TUI #369 - TUI create/update forms (good for UX-focused contributors)
• 📚 Documentation: Examples and guides always welcome as features stabilize
• 🧪 Testing: Beta features need real-world usage feedback
