Research direction

Create docs/project-handover.md, using the repository's existing documentation and project contents to identify what was delivered, what remains incomplete, future ideas, limitations, and maintainer notes. Check the acceptance criteria in this issue; done means the summary is added and all requested project-status areas are covered.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Before the project is closed, we'd like to capture a simple summary of where things ended up. This isn't intended to duplicate the design document, but instead provide a quick reference for anyone picking the project up in the future.

Task

Create a markdown document (for example docs/project-handover.md) containing a concise summary of the project's final state.

It doesn't need to be a long document—bullet points are encouraged.

Suggested sections include:

What was delivered
  • Major features completed
  • New components/modules added
  • Documentation produced
  • Tests added
  • Anything else worth highlighting
What's partially complete
  • Features started but not finished
  • Areas that still need refinement
  • Known rough edges
Future enhancements
  • Nice-to-have features
  • Ideas identified during the project
  • Potential performance improvements
  • Additional log sources or AI capabilities
  • Other follow-on work
Known limitations
  • Current constraints
  • Technical debt
  • Assumptions made during implementation
Notes for future maintainers
  • Anything someone new to the project should know
  • Helpful pointers into the codebase
  • Areas that would benefit from refactoring
  • Any lessons learned that could save future contributors time

Acceptance Criteria

  • Summary document added to the repository.
  • Delivered functionality summarised.
  • Partially completed work identified.
  • Future enhancement ideas captured.
  • Known limitations documented.
  • Useful notes provided for future contributors.

The goal is simply to leave the project in a state where the next contributor can quickly understand where things stand without needing to read every issue, pull request, or commit.
